Katfish Kliff Kingsb....nevermind. Not calling him that. Not today, Satan. Kliff Kingsbury went on to AJ Hawk's podcast, The Hawkcast (nice), and admitted to catfishing former players while he was the head coach at Texas Tech.
"We have fake accounts with cute girls that they add right now so we can see what's going on, who's tweeting what. Those are heavily monitored for sure." You know, for looking like such a "bro" Kliff sounds like he loves breaking the bro code. People don't swap the first two letters of their names (ex: Pave Dortnoy) on their Facebooks just to go and get catfished by their coaches? That's bush league. The poor player. What happens if the young man falls in love with your fake account? Huh Kliff? That's how players get distracted. That's how people get Te'o'd.
The worst part about this whole thing is that Kliff admitted to saving the funniest DMs to give a presentation on them to the whole team. That should be an NCAA violation. No, fuck that, it should be a federal crime. There's no universe in which a coach should present your private DMs to the boys for them to roast you. I can still think up drunk texts and DMs from years ago and cringe about it alone in my bedroom. Imagine seeing a shakespearean text sent you on a big screen and looking around the film room to see all your buddies crying laughing? Knowing that one day they'll quote your private DMs to your face when you least expect it. Picture being out at the bar and trying to court a young lady when all of a sudden your teammate walks up and says "Oh are you trying to [insert DM quote here]". Nightmare fuel. No wonder Kingsbury went 35-40 in his career.
