Barking Carnival

Overview
I’ve been putting this off for a while because there’s just no short way for me to write it and I needed to harness my emotions. I’m a little torn on my feelings regarding the defense of my beloved Red Raiders. One side of me really wants to buy into the spring […]

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 […]

After another dismal season, Larry Hays has resigned from the helm of the Texas Tech baseball program.  Dan Spencer will take over.  I’ve got mixed feelings about this as Hays took our dormant program and built it all the way to a #1 ranking in 1996.   As an alum, I have to appreciate that and the 22 […]

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 […]

Maybe it’s because I kind of expected it, you know the trap road game. Maybe it’s the fact that I had to watch this game in a waiting room at Texas Children’s Hospital. Or, perhaps it’s because the purist in me knows that sometimes the game of basketball comes down to ringing […]

I’m having a tough time getting that exercised about this loss in Lubbock.
Passive offense and an early lack of intensity on defense allowed the referees to participate in the Tech gutty-home-win narrative. A 43-13 free throw margin raises an eyebrow, but we’re as responsible for that fact as the zebra’s weird inconsistencies. […]

As you stumble into the apartment after going on your McDonald’s run in which you bought 14 Egg McMuffins, 2 coffees and a cinnamon roll, you could do worse than check out a few game-day hoops links

awiggo at BON has his pre-cap, in which it’s pretty clear he expects a Masked Rider-molesting. He might not […]

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 […]
