Temper tantrum following no meeting with Coach Petersen

ESPN announcers admitted that they did not have the opportunity to meet with “Irascible and cantankerous” head coach Chris Petersen. They admitted as such on the air, with the inflammatory adjectives that should never be associated with a head coach of a major NCAA football coach.

Irascible means “easy to anger”.  Cantankerous means “bad-tempered” or “argumentative” or even “uncooperative”.

Name a single head coach referred to in this way during a nationally televised game.

Kevin King wades in

Even former Husky Kevin King had to wade in with commentary. He is hilarious during games and certainly worth a follow.

Now, the game ended completely lopsided at 38-7. It forces me to wonder just how the game would have been called had it been closer. Even the  ESPN game summary conflicts with the broadcasting team.  Their article names the game as a “rout”.
