Leach Watch
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 Pat Knight.
This is greatness.
It’s a major award!
The reporter keeps Leach on track long enough to hear his thoughts on his defense. And at this point we get another money quote.
“Very violent. Very intense. Helmets flying. Some fights. All the reasons you have football,” Leach said. “Shortly into the thing, I wondered if a hockey match would break out. It didn’t.”
Allsome.

I started to post this, but I didn’t know if it was the appropriate forum considering the ref bitching section at the bottom. The leg was awesome.

Leach is a douche. He whines about the officiating when the replays show Tech doing better than break-even.
Stop kissing his ass.

‘Reading a book on the Gerald Ford administration’.
Classic Leach, no?
The Adlai Stevenson biography was checked out.

What happened to Texas Tech last year was an ass kicking. Texas could have scored 80+ last year and probably should have considering the way the defense finished off the game. Saying the officials had an influence had a significant impact upon the outcome of that game is ignorant at best and malicious at worst. Leach’s refusal to accept that someone on the UT coaching staff can gameplan successfully against his gimicky offense just helps validate the belief that he’ll never accomplish anything of significance. Leach has Greg Davis Syndrome at times. For him it is more important to be smarter than the other guy than to beat the other guy. Fortunately for him he generally IS smarter (as opposed to our OC who just believes that he is). Unofortunately for him sometimes he’s not smart enough to get over himself and make necessary adjustments.
