Was it a Freudian slip?

Somewhere between his teary-eyed reference to moving back to the state in which his grandfather was born and raised, his repeated references to his suddenly public Christian values and his first few calls of ‘Sic ’em’, Mack Rhoades stumbled.

“Before I speak for a moment on the incredible opportunity ahead of us here at Baylor, I want to thank the leadership of the University of Missouri, the incredibly dedicated staff, coaches and tremendous student athletes who make the state of Missouri so proud,” Rhoades said during his second introductory news conference in 16 months.
