Barking Carnival

I never tire of reading about Mike Leach. Never. So I was of course excited to see another Leach article in today’s Dallas Morning News.
The usual Leach nuggets. Likes AC/DC. Reading a book on the Gerald Ford adminstration. Then Leach casually drops that he bought the leg lamp from A Christmas Story for Bob and […]

Before you read any further, I’ll save some of you a little time. If you don’t believe Tech has a legitimate shot at beating UT in Lubbock next season, then don’t read on because this thing ended up being a lot longer than I anticipated. I’m cursed with an English teacher as a […]

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 […]

I’m of the opinion that Texas Tech coach Mike Leach needs his own reality show. Mic him up and turn him loose. Just watching him interact with his wife and kids would be worth the price of admission.
The Big 12 coaches held their annual spring conference earlier this week, and Leach fielded the call while […]

I was lucky enough to attend his final game in Austin. He clearly had checked out in his mind.
YouTube provides us the following great clips:
Bob Knight likes the word fuck.

I don’t know if you know this but he once threw a chair on the court. He was only given a technical foul and […]

Best commentator will win a free Barking Carnival t-shirt actually worn by ScipioTex. You can still smell the Drakkar Noir!

He was asked his thoughts on Graham Harrell running.
“There’s a point where … do I want Graham running the ball at a speed of approximately 4.9,” Leach said, “or would I like him to throw the ball to say Aaron Crawford or to Amendola or to Elf (Eric Morris) or to Crabtree or to Easy […]

Kind of redundant.
On his team collapsing under pressure against Missouri:
“What happens with players, [it’s] just like Judge Lance Ito gets in the middle of a big trial and decides it’s more important for him to be a movie star than it is to be a judge. He had problems doing his [job] from one snap […]

Texas Tech freshman receiver Michael Crabtree is on pace to set NCAA single season records for receptions, yards and touchdowns. The guy has been unstoppable thus far.

I know what you’re going to say. ‘He plays for Tech. He’s a product of the system.’ Yes and no. Tech generally has two types of receivers. […]

I’m thinking the best parts of last Saturday’s Texas Tech-Oklahoma State game happened after it was over. Everyone’s already heard about Mike Gundy’s post game rant, but Mike Leach had his own rant going at the same time.
Gundy was trying to protect one of his players while Leach was challenging the manhood of his. Pirates […]
