HBO HAS To Make This Happen
Peter Berg, the producer behind Friday Night Lights," has a new football project.
He wants to make a mini-series with Mike Leach -- and he wants it on HBO.
Leach made a cameo on the TV show and then spent four weeks with Berg in Hollywood, just hanging out.
"I was just fascinated with him," Berg tells Broadcasting & Cable.
The plan would be to have Leach's first season at Washington State be a collegiate version of Hard Knocks.
They would cover fall training camp and a couple of games during the season.
That would be so cool.

After the season premiere, they should show re-runs on The Longhorn Network.

Will the killjoys at NCAA decide this is an unfair recruiting advantage and forbid it. I miss my morning dose of the Pirate on Sirius 91.

Uncensored Leach is good for TV ratings, no doubt.
Can #rememberthefive be worked in? Maybe Leach instructing a QB after a practice rep to read the defender in the #5 jersey using the phrase? It would be nice to have in the title sequence.

Tech will continue to regret the day that they fired leach for absolutely no reason other than Hance and company settling old scores due to contract negotiations. How did that season work out for ya last year?

I would definitely watch this show . . . not to mention its spinoff: Fat Little Girl Friends.

Jake,
I see it as something that equalizes just a bit the obstacle of having to convince kids from civilization to live in Eastern Washington. Sure it might have changed since my wife attended school there, but when you drive in the dead of winter to go party in Moscow, Idaho it pretty much sums up the beauty of Pullman.

“but when you drive in the dead of winter to go party in Moscow, Idaho it pretty much sums up the beauty of Pullman. But Chigurh had not come to party and had no eye for beauty. Honor, pure and simple, brought him. Fate had decreed a death. Anton Chigurh was its agent. Moscow was its place. Pullman was merely on the way.”

I miss Leach…I grew up in Lubbock and he was there before I left to go to UT. Absolutely love his bold personality and ftw mentality. Keep swinging your sword Mr. Leach just wrap it first because nobody knows what is floating around in Eastern Washington…no seriously. Nobody knows shit about Eastern Washington

Hance: [talking over phone] Hello?
Leach: Yes?
Hance: Is uh, Craig James there?
Leach: Not in the sense that you mean. You need to come see me.
Hance: Who is this?
Leach: You know who it is. You need to talk to me.
Hance I don’t need to talk to you.
Leach: I think you do. Do you know where I’m going?
Hance Why would I care where you’re going?
Leach: I know where you are.
Hance: Yeah? Where am I?
Anton Chigurh: You’re in the University where there is no river, but that’s not where I’m going. Do you know where I’m going?
Hance: Yeah, I know where you’re going.
Leach: Alright.
Hance: You know won’t be able to establish proper venue in a place that is favorable to you.
Leach: It doesn’t make any difference where the case is.
Hance: So what are you going up there for?
Leach: You know how this is going to turn out, don’t you?
Hance: Nope.
Leach: I think you do. So this is what I’ll offer - you bring me the money and I’ll let Texas Tech go. Otherwise it’s accountable, same as you. That’s the best deal you’re gonna get. I won’t tell you you can save yourself, because you can’t.

Leach calling Craig James a cunty, motherless fucking whore on HBO would be solid television.

Does Berg have the juice to get Leach installed as a moderator in any upcoming debates for Texas’ Senatorial candidates?

Seems fair to me. You’d also get some great Leach weather reports trying to predict days when it doesn’t rain, which are rare in my experience in that part of the world.

?? Are you sure you’re not thinking of some other Pullman? I believe it rains more in Austin than it does in Pullman, dunnit? I mean, Cascades, rain shadow, all that meteorology shit? Sorry, one of my neighbors is a retired Physics Prof/Meteorologist ‘n’ I get to hear way more of it than I really want… not that it’s not interesting, mind you, but…
Maybe you were in that part of the world The Year It Rained?

Hard to see how this miniseries would be allowed by NCAA…
