of course, you're wearing leather pants.
And that's not really Kalani's look - like me, just too much "comfort food" to sport the tight leather pants.

My Sources Tell Me Harlan is in a World of Hurt

ghettomagic

Nov 11, 12:48pm

That would imply the University disagrees with him. That can't be true.

Cougarclaw

True....since Whit was yelling at the refs too.

WJCougar

Nov 11, 12:50pm

On the field yelling at the refs by the head coach is nothing, even after games.

RenoCoug

Nov 11, 12:58pm

Going after refs while ignoring the opposing coach who just wanted to shake hands is pretty shameful IMO.

Whitt and Kalani hugged right before Whitt went off on the refs. They'd already

Ok. Mea Culpa. I must have missed that clip. I only saw the one where KS looked uncomfortable

Knight-who-says-ni

He looked uncomfortable because Whit gave him a quick bro hug then attacked ref.

He’s a representative of the university. He’s the head of all athletics. He knows exactly what his actions merit and
