Edwards And Gillispie Apparently Have A "History"
Monday, February 16, 2009
This is alleged, but according to Sports by Brooks, our awkward interview duo of Billy Gillispie and ESPN's Jeannine Edwards have a bit of a history. Apparently Gillispie once (allegedly) made advances to Edwards and was shot down. Via SbB....
Edwards’ queries in both instances didn’t seem all that ill-informed to me at the time, so it was a little curious to see Gillispie snap back at her in that fashion, especially on national television.Seems weird that if there was an issue that ESPN would keep sending her to call Kentucky games, but if you go back and watch the videos, that could very well be true. Oh and guess who's working the sideline for tomorrow's Kentucky-Vandy game? You guessed it (I'll have the announcing schedule up tomorrow).
That is, until I heard more about Gillispie’s private dealings with Edwards.
A source recently told me that Gillispie made a past, amorous advance at Edwards which was subsequently denied by the ESPN reporter. I have no more details than that. But again, I have confirmed that Gillispie did make clear to Edwards that he was interested in spending some quality time with her away from the court. And she shut him down.

Ooh! Ooh! Let me guess, um, it's on the tip of my toungue, um, is it Craig Sager?
All kidding aside, it's actually quite impressive that Edwards has just kept her mouth shut and not said anything to ESPN and/or said anything back to Gillispie throughout all of this.

So, Lane Kiffin isn't the only SEC coach making recruiting violations?
/sorry
Much like when Ric Bucher was first assigned to a Jazz playoff game after insulting Utah fans, I expect Heather Cox to be on the sidelines tomorrow since this report broke.
3 out of 4 on your labels
Well, at least Edwards knows what it's like to be professional. The pressure in Kentucky's got to be pretty intense. What else have they got for sports besides the Derby?
That's the chick who had eight kids and tried to look like Angelina Jolie right?
How could she resist the lure of Billy Gillespie! That man is an adonis.
Yes, the pressure at Kentucky is intense. In Rick Pitino's book, "Success Is A Choice," the current Louisville coach often mentioned he felt the pressure at UK almost everyday. Neverthelesss, he found a way to make it positive. It appears that Gillispie can't hold Pitino's jock.
But he did offer to hold said jock. Pitino resisted.
She isn't working sideline tonite. That would be Erin Andrews.
Homegirl has an Adam's Apple. She might've been a man previously LOL!!!
