Deadspin recently got a hold of an audio recording of Huntingdon College director of golf Matt Mahanic ripping his team a new one after a poor performance at a tournament in Alabama.
Fortunately for us (and unfortunately for 2007 Huntingdon graduate Mahanic) somebody on the bus was recording the whole thing on their phone. The fun starts around 1:55 in the clip above. I’m putting the highlights after the break given the NSFW language, but one thing really stood out to me:
Mahanic makes a big deal out his father asking him at the tournament “why the f*** are you recruiting these kids?”. Recruiting? In D-III where they can’t offer athletic scholarships? Maybe somebody can fill me in, but D-III golf seems about like high school golf as far as I can tell. If you’re a player on that team, why on earth would you put up with somebody (who only happens to be 5 years older than you) chewing you out like that when you’re not even getting a scholarship out of the deal?
That would be like Bob on the company softball team cursing out the rest of the team after a loss. You’d tell Bob to go pound sand and put his stapler in jello when you got back to the office.
Read the highlights after the break:
