Because they hate our freedom

Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy has been arrested this morning for punching the lights out of a Muslim cabbie.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A Cincinnati newspaper says police and court records show Mississippi basketball coach Andy Kennedy was arrested early Thursday on an assault charge involving a taxi driver.

Why do we bring up the cab driver's religion? Because Kennedy was saying some pretty racist things too.

(Kennedy is) accused of attacking Mohammed Ould Jiddou and hurling racial slurs at the man, according to police and court records.

Did we mention he had more than likely been drinking too? Oh yes, citizen.

Also arrested was William Armstrong, the director of operations at Mississippi, on a charge of disorderly conduct, reports show.

Reports state Armstrong, 31, was drunk and thrown out of the Lodge Bar downtown early this morning.

After that, he and Kennedy got a cab. A report says Armstrong, taunted the driver "in which his conduct was likely to cause a violent response."

All this leads to the question "Who is going to coach the Rebels tonight?!"

The ninth-ranked Louisville Cardinal and the Ole Miss Rebels will meet this evening in Cincinnati as part of the SEC/Big East Invitational.


This is the fist I make when I drink and hate

Way to go, coach.

UPDATE: If you want to know what coach Kennedy and director of operations Armstrong were drinking that night...
