LETTER: Beer helps coach relate to recruits
April 29, 2003
In regards to what has recently come to light about Larry Eustachy’s party life, I have one word to sum this man up … brilliant.
Honestly, what better strategy for recruitment than to show you can relate to the recruits, even if it’s by doing more keg-stands than them at a party.
Also, he has humbled himself greatly in this pursuit of relating to the recruit population. Case in point — he could drink any beer he wanted with that $1 million salary, but he instead decided to forego luxury and drink painfully cheap beer, Natural Lite, just to say, “Hey, I’m just like you guys!”
This man serves as a model to us all with his amazingly down to earth spirit.
My only worry is that we might lose Eustachy due to the recent coaching opening at Kansas, since apparently that’s where all the hot girls are.
