ESPN breaks the story that Mike Leach is eccentric
The Worldwide Leader must have had this gem ready for any slow day (i.e. no salicious Roger stories broke). There is nothing new (Leach likes pirates), save maybe some new pictures.
“The object was to get a treasure. If the captain did a bad job, you could just overthrow him.”
That means win a championship.
I did like this quote from Leach:
“If you’re getting to the office at 6 a.m. and getting home at midnight, well, then you’re wasting a lot of time,” Leach said. “That’s just a failure to manage your time. What are you doing in the middle of the day? Are you having a siesta?”

I can only assume that they are soon going to run an article that Bobby Knight throws chairs in ESPN production meetings.

This entry took you “all day” to write? What are you doing all day? Having a siesta?

Bobby, can we see you in HenryJames’ office before you leave? Thanks.

I got into the BC office by 10:15, napped until 12:30, lunched until 2:45, ignored the link on the other thread, and posted this jab at ESPN. Buzz Bissinger approves this lifestyle.

“Bobby, can we see you in HenryJames’ office before you leave? Thanks.”
Are you seriously going to hold a meeting in the handicapped stall?

Yeah, they’re bigger than normal stalls.

I ran into Leach on the golf course after last years Big12 media day. He missed a 3 footer and buried his blade into the green. Muttered something about “These greenskeepers are just a bunch of front runners. I guess they’ve been reading their clippings. Well we can get new greenskeepers.”

Wasn’t this a NYT magazine article 3 years ago? I wonder if Leach is still redacting the pirates’ penchant for homosexuality on the high seas?
