As if we don't have enough to worry about the pole dancers monkey bit a kid... Pet monkey of Texas football coach allegedly attacks kid trick-or-treating
That is some story! Started laughing while reading as it’s absurd! Sark has to be thinking, “oh my f’ing god! What the hell is coming next!”
On the radio this morning they were saying the kid hopped the back yard fence and was messing with the monkey. If true the kid deserved what he got.
There are screenshots of the tweets here if you are interested. Honestly hope this story goes away soon. Danny Kannel was talking about it on his show this morning and called it "MonnkeyGate in Austin".
I am trying to follow but so much has been deleted So Banks was at the home of a stripper Halloween night? And some kid jumped the back yard fence where the strippers pet monkey bit the kid??
The stripper is Banks's girlfriend. She made a big deal on social media when they moved from Bama to Austin and has been active on social media under the handle "Pole Assassin". I said I want the story to go away and keep posting more- so I am contributing to the problem- but here is a SI story on it all. Texas Assistant’s Girlfriend’s Monkey Allegedly Bit Child
I got a text message yesterday morning from a friend in DC about this. I checked the three TV stations in Austin then, and again last night and none were reporting the event. Not that KXAN, KEYE, or KVUE are all that great, they are more reliable than The Spaceman or the internet.
We live in the same community as Banks and there was a post about this on Next Door last night. I was confused as there was nothing on it all day on any of the media sources I follow here in Austin, and now this morning it's all anyone is talking about.
So is Banks married? Or living with this stripper ? Does the stripper live in Austin? From the SI story it is a big nothing burger vis a vis Banks And stupid act on kid's part. Kinda like that she set up a haunted house
6721, I think they have been a couple for several years. He was on the coaching staff at UVA for about 4-5 days, and I believe she was around then.
I don't know for sure, but I'm sure they do. Neither do I know if she is "dancing" anywhere, but I've turned that investigation over to my good friends HIC & Worster.
Please get back to us! Is Banks married to Pole Assassin? Did he leave his wife and kids to be with Ms. Assassin? We must know!
So, unpopular opinion time. Banks should be fired. While I saw improvement from the TEs in 2021, I didn't see any from special teams. But even if he did improve something marginally or statistically in his year on campus, this dumb *** story is never going to go away.
I mean, pretty much. I'd semi-support him if there was no stripper for whom he left his family, or a monkey that bit a kid, but not to the point of "man what a great year we had at TE and ST" where I'd want him to sign an extension or anything. Sometimes those personal life things interfere with your job, and since his job is so visible and distractions get blamed for everything in this line of work, I say find someone else to hold a clipboard. He's a chip off the "Mike Price" block and we don't need any of that.
all i know is sometimes you look at a person's significant other and say, "bless their heart. we need to give that poor man a break." lol
Does the monkey have any eligibility left? He showed more fight on Halloween night than anyone playing D for us
I'm very late to this thread, but I think its is important to note the real life lesson to be drawn from this incident: don't have monkeys for pets. These little cuties placed in a human household can develop and amplify the most un-socialized behaviors of their hosts, and can grow up into mal-adjusted, poop flinging rage machines with diabetes. There has been ample evidence from recent celebrity history, not to mention innumerable visits to zoos by ordinary people ruined by expertly aimed primate feces, that monkey pet ownership should already be a thing of the past. Witness the face eating pet chimp Travis from Stamford, Connecticut. Or Marcel, the cute little monkey on "Friends", who turned out to be scene stealing little limelight seeking prima donna. Or Bubbles, Michael Jackson's pet chimp who had to be sent to a secure primate health care facility because he started grooming and molesting younger monkeys. There's a lesson here.
