Not sure if this has been brought up today or not so just wanted to throw this out very interesting/funny,
So I guess last night after the game and people were leaving there was a little road rage going on.
So here is the thing , I was listening to the podast that uses the Name of ( Could be wrong ) it's a KU podcast. Anyways they were on talking about the game. and one of the guys said Oh I guess there is a fan who actually that wants to call in and talk to us about some road rage after the game
So I guess this guy and some friends were trying to leave saying some about they were in a lot 90 ?-- Anyways you know the general rule is in congested traffic you move a little - - let a car in and then move a little -- let a car in so on and so on. Well I guess there was this white BMW in front and was sittin there and had let three cars in without moving - -- -well there was a car behind the BMW trying to move up , well the car this car was in with his friends said they were just trying to cut over to the other side of traffic and the car behind the BMW wouldn't let them move over pulling up just enough to not let them through lol .
So these guys had their window down and so did the car behind the BMW so they hollered one to the car and said hey can we slide through tellin the car behind the BMW they was wanting to get out to nineteenth , Then they got to looking a little closer and the driver was wearing a suit and tie. They started thinking now who would wear a suit and tie to a basketball game ?
So he looked again and said thought he recognized him -- so he hollered HEY aren't you Fran Fricella ? -the guy behind the BMW hollered back and said -- - YES- --YES I am and I'm not letting you through and F - - - the Jayhawks they said Jason the announcer of the game was in the passenger seat just laughing his ass off and Fran said F - - - YOUR JAYHAWKS -- - --- all I can say is Wow.
-
That is a hilarious story but I suspect it is not true.
-
I dunno , all I know they had people that said they saw it verifying it and we know Fran inside does not really have a lot of use for KU , and if he eve has a chance to rip /shot at KU he will
-
I’m willing to bet it’s not real story but I hate Fran more as the time passes. Every game he gets worse with bias against us. Refs miss a travel on an opposing team crickets…..miss one on us “that’s in the original rules up there you can’t do that”. Last night an obvious foul against DP, “He’s just got to play thru it”, call that goes our way earlier this season “you can’t call that unless you are absolutely sure”. If I saw him on the streets it would take a lot for me not to at least go call him out for the chicken shit that he is.
-
I wonder if Fran actually hates KU or if that is just part of his gimmick as a public personality

Watch any other game and they aren’t anywhere near as bad as Fran. Like I said imagine how fast someone that bad mouthed Duke or UK the whole game would get yanked or OSU or Alabama football. They’d be done after one game.
-
I think they should pair Fran with the biggest KU homer they can find so he can stew in his own mental hell and eat sh— during our broadcasts. I mean more than he already is.
-
Fran constantly pisses me off... but I can't believe this story. Fran is smart enough to realize how risky this would be, especially in modern times where everyone has a video camera in their phone. That would not only get him banned from KU, but also the Big 12 and other work he has.
Even though Fran sometimes says bad remarks in a game, it's okay for us to have a guy like that around. He gives us someone to post about... usually making fun of him.
I used to despise Dickie V. Then when he battled for his life from cancer and survived... I softened my thoughts completely. Then when I discovered how much he is doing to raise awareness and money for cancer, I suddenly became a fan!
It's easy to take things "personal" from these sports commentators, but at the end of the day, they put their pants on just like we do.
I smell a run! (better buy more toilet paper)

By the time Fran left, the traffic would have mostly cleared.
-
It was probably a Fran impersonator

Agree.. Fran and Schombie had a lengthy interview with Scott Van Pelt about 30-40 min after the game ended. By the time they wrapped up and got their stuff, it would have been at least an hour post-game. I would imagine the lots and garages would have been mostly empty by then.

For people going to the games I parked in lot 93, it’s not as close as 90 which is right across the street but just about 2 blocks, the traffic is as better and easier to get to 19th or 18th. It’s was also less than half of lot 90 price wise.

Ok I just listened to it. A LOT of detail in the story. I was extremely skeptical his reading about it but after hearing the guy’s story… I don’t know…
Privilege isn't nonsense.

@drgnslayr I've always liked Vitale, because of his knowledge and passion for the game. He's not ashamed to just put it all out there. Also, I've always liked how much priority he places on free throws. This is a true story, but time has faded my memory somewhat, At one KU game I attended DV was on the court pregame and made something like 26 free throws in a row. WHILE WEARING A SUIT JACKET! I'm pretty sure he was in his 70's. I was blown away
-
@nuleafjhawk i do love this story. and i appreciate DV the man. I just dont appreciate DV the ESPN personality which is a frankenstein of 1 part person, 1 part fabrication of DVs design and 1 part fabrication of ESPNs design, same as all of these guys. It just happens that i was never fond of the 1 part fabrication that DV designed, meaning I 66% dont like him on ESPN.
-
I dislike all 3 parts of Fran and SA Smith.
I dont know that I like the part ESPN has designed for anyone. Maybe Kornheiser and Wilbon, because they largely seem uninvolved and let the other 2 parts be the entire product
-
@approxinfinity I agree re Kornheiser and Wilbon. I think they were originally and for much of their careers newspaper men. A completely different breed from the online personality.

Details make lies seem credible. Knowing this helped a lot when I was judging commodity fraud cases and asked lots of questions to evaluate witness credibility. The liars practiced their stories but they usually only had surface details, no depth to follow-ups. ( I had lots of fun because any lawyer will tell you cross-examination is the best part of being in a trial! Often the witnesses and their lawyers--if any--got all flustered because they had never heard of judges doing the questioning to both sides. Sometimes back and forth. Our rules expressly allowed it.) (BTW, it isn't an apreciated strategy in family discussions...as most lawyers usually find out the hard way.
) -
Yeah listened to it as well and it is more believable than I was thinking just reading the post. The details don't necessarily give it too much credibility for me, but learned it was directly from someone one of the hosts knew and not some random fan. But am still far from sold that it happened, especially if they had other media duties after the game ended.
