It’s tough being a head football coach. Or any figure that lives in the public eye, really. Any modicum of celebrity or media scrutiny carries with it the possibility that you may never again get to mind your own business, keep your family life personal, or be able to speak freely. More than that, though, a public life opens you up to about a 2,000 percent increase in the possibility that you will encounter what the medical community refers to as “a total creepazoid.”
Mark Richt Admirer Demonstrates A Great Way To Instantly Seem Super Creepy
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
Seth Emerson of the Macon Telegraph relayed an interesting (gross) tidbit from Tuesday's media session with Georgia Bulldogs head coach Mark Richt.
Stalker alert: A woman just asked Mark Richt in front of the room iif she could have the water bottle he'd been drinking. Richt complied.

Here is a short list of things as creepy or more creepy than that request:
- Asking Bobby Petrino if “he’s gonna finish chewing that gum”
- Asking to borrow Lane Kiffin’s comb “just for a sec”
- Bumping into Paul Reiser on the street, requesting he take a look at an irregularly-shaped mole and offer his opinion
- Asking Dr. Laura Schlesinger to “split a Sbarro” with you
- Knowing what Rick Majerus smells like
- Asking Rex Ryan to rate your wife’s feet “on a scale from ‘eh’ to SOOO-WEEEE’”
