anyone hear his gaffe in the VT/ECU game?

without getting really specific, let's just say he meant to say "facetious," and whipped out something a little bit more...risque.
 
I watched the game and missed it. What did he say? No need to not get specific.

I have no idea what the dude was saying, so maybe the context is different, but what's wrong with that "fallacious"?

From Websters:

Main Entry: fal·la·cious
Pronunciation: f&-'lA-sh&s
Function: adjective
1 : embodying a fallacy <a fallacious conclusion>
2 : tending to deceive or mislead : DELUSIVE
- fal·la·cious·ly adverb
- fal·la·cious·ness noun


Maybe Bill Curry isn't the one with the problem.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume you forgot the blue font there, mikey.
 
Don't think you get canned for that. Or even a "ride the pine for the next few, kid". At worst, a slip of the tongue (insert BJ joke here). Easily forgivable.
 
****, if you could get canned for a dumb-ass slip of the tongue, who would provide the commentary for sporting events?

uh, it wasn't fAllacious, unless curry's accent took a turn for the strange.

I'll guarantee that if you thought he meant to say facetious and you heard fellatious -- a word with which I'm sure he's not familiar -- Curry's aim was fallacious.
