Mr. Holgorsen, is there vodka in that Red Bull?
West Virginia’s current offensive coordinator and head coach-in-waiting Dana Holgorsen had a drunken laden incident at the Cross Lanes Mardi Gras Casino and Resort this past Wednesday. Apparently, Holgorsen was keeping with the West Virginia spirit by having a few too many drinks while rolling the dice. At approximately 3 a.m. on May 18th, Holgorsen became visibly intoxicated and refused to cooperate with casino management all while disturbing the patrons of the Mardi Gras Casino. Casino security had enough of Holgorsen’s antics and decided to call the police who escorted Holgorsen out of the building.
Fortunately, Holgorsen sobered up quickly and complied with the officer’s demands to leave the premises and was not slapped with any charges or fines. West Virginia acknowledged the situation and will handle accordingly. The athletic director’s office issued the following statement, “Athletic director Oliver Luck and head coach Bill Stewart have been made aware of the alleged incident. Once the have all the facts, they will deal with it appropriately.”
For West Virginia, not only is this an embarrassment, but it’s bad timing for Holgorsen and the AD as Luck is vying for a proposition that allows the sale of alcohol at West Virginia’s Mountaineer Field come football season.
