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.

The Big 12’s Nightmare Draft

The Big 12 had its worse draft ever. Even Mike Reinfeldt and Jeff Fisher think so. It took 36 selections before the second Big 12 player was drafted. This is from a conference with four of Top 10 in the final AP rankings. Pathetic.

Powerhouse programs like Troy, Vanderbilt, Delaware, and Tennessee […]

Activities to Pursue During the Dead Zone

And so we have officially entered the “Dead Zone” of the sports year.  Spring football ended a couple of weeks back for the only program we care about.  College basketball ended for our guys on the same day, after one of the most successful seasons a Longhorn roundball team has experienced.  The baseball team is […]

Practice Report 2/23

The morning started out with my walking up the ramp to the Angels, with the intention of scoring a roster. I walked up, put my game face on, and the lady stared right through me like I wasn’t even there. I did not get a roster.
Bitches.
Anyway, I made due. The first hour was worthless in […]

The Babelfish Recruiting Translator

I typed in lines from some recruiting interviews and it gave me some useful insights. Thought I would share.
