A passenger on a flight to Seattle from Las Vegas today says he’s positive Leach was on his flight. He said Leach was wearing a baseball cap, t-shirt and tennis shoes. That does sound like something Mike Leach would wear. That’s probably something he’d even wear to a job interview.
The Tech SID could neither confirm nor deny the story “saying he didn’t know where Leach was today.” I bet you could call that dude on any day, and he wouldn’t know where Leach was. I imagine Leach spends the offseason living like Kurtz in ‘Apocalypse Now.’

“Should we maybe run some plays or something, coach?”
Sucks to be Tech. They go 11-1, and their head coach interviews at a school that just went winless.

It is just amazing to me that most posters think that Jordan has improved so much in the last half of the season.
The one thing I will say is that Jordan has just started to show his ability with a basketball. The reason that he did not show his talents is up to all the

Offense
Both teams are unselfish and preach sharing the ball. A&M is a balanced scoring team. Sloan showed in the first round against Utah State, for example, that he can defer when his teammates have things going. Purdue once again will have to rely on JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore to produce, and hope

And yes, it appears JoPo wrote pretty much the same thing. It’s hard to believe with all the national talking heads, fans, and everyone in between saying otherwise, but I think it’s the only conclusion to draw for anyone that really watched this team.

Normally, after a big win or a crushing defeat, I don’t know what to think, say, or feel, because I can’t. And that what makes this one different; it’s just as painful, but I saw it coming. Instead of getting blindsided by the oncoming traffic, I was able to brace myself for the

I’m with you the off season is already old. I’m ready for the season to start. NDS I am completely fascinated by the Tech vs. Lech business. I can’t believe they ran off the guy that put them on the map and subsequently ended up with an arguable upgrade in Tubs.

Ded 9-12 wins is pretty optomistic. I like it. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Tubs can do with them this year especially on D. I’m surprised you think the QB battle between Sticks and Nick will be close. Interesting, I figured Sticks was a runaway. I hope Corndog

Got a little time this morning and I’m rearing to talk some football. Here’s what the depth chart looks like headed into spring and a few thoughts:
Offense
QB Sr. Taylor Potts/Sr. Steven Sheffield – We’ve all annointed Sheffield as the starter, and I think that’s the case if we continue to run 99% of our snaps

lawdog – on the topic of regression, this crew can’t compare with the senior seasons Thomas and Atchley put up. Something ain’t right in this scenario. Mason topped out his sophomore year and Pittman last year.
Wangmene is ‘Manos de Piedra’ redux, so that was really never going to work out.

Unless you’re completely retarded, you know precisely what I meant. The closest any Big 12 team has gotten to winning the infamous Fuller Cup is the 2007 Texas squad. I can’t remember a team being that horribly undisciplined as a whole aside from the insane OU teams of the 80’s. That’s not

I suppose anyone could be your “favorite Longhorn basketball player” but Ford did more than just about anyone…although Durant is clearly better. Ford’s supporting cast was better than Durant’s in his sophomore year. Durant’s had more talent (Augustin, James, Abrams) but Ford’s was more developed (Boddicker, Ivey, Mouton, Thomas) and had worked with him for

This notion of Hamilton as being a disaster area on defense is all a bit much. He rebounds extremely well which, if it wasn’t obvious, is extremely important in this game since it secures possession of the basketball. Winning in basketball is achieved through the scoring of baskets and it’s necessary to possess the basketball

I posted earlier about how Collins’ effort just crippled Kansas today, but what amazed me the most was his complete inability to stay in front of his man on defense. UNI got a LOT of good looks out of penetration/pass after one of UNI’s modestly gifted athletes blew right by Sherron. The best

At least it’s shaping up that way if Sunday delivers.
As disappointed as I was in last year’s opening weekend of March Madness, this one is exceeding all expectations. Putting aside the fact that my bracket now resembles Kabul after the Taliban rolled through in ‘96 – a map of ordered failure –

I think Leach knows 2008 was his one shot. It will be several years before the combination of a strong, experienced team and a favorable schedule will come around again. It’s time to reap the rewards and move on. Washington seems the perfect fit for him.

Am I the only person that doubts that a coach interviewing for probably a million dollar gig would fly commercial?
I know they suck and all but I’d bet they could get a private plane to fly a prospective coach to interview.

But some people who frequent the internet seem to be able to track the planes used by schools when they fly people in to interview.
As long as it’s a one-stop with a change, Leach has a chance to blend in. Just his luck to sit by a football fan.

Maybe UW is spending all its money on Willingham’s buy-out clause. At least, I don’t think his contract is up yet. And so Leach flies economy…

It’s being reported that he’s staying, but I won’t believe it until he’s signed a new contract at Tech. I’m not sure what the Tortilla Retort would turn into, if McNeill was our next head coach. I might lose it. Not due to anger, but insanity.
