Well placed sarcasm sir. Nicely done. Good to see Michigan fans still have it after the two year running debacle.

Don't forget I went to Michigan Tech, I can handle a few bad years. Atleast I know with Michigan eventually they'll get back to winning, can't say the same about Tech.

Mike Leach has filed a restraining order to allow him to coach the Alamo Bowl. There will be a hearing tomorrow morning.

my take based solely on internet reports: it is a good idea to keep a concussion case out of bright sunlight, James was a bit of a problem and Leach didn't like him nor his dad, Leach went overboard in 'accomodating' his injury (something he hasn't done before with other concussion victims) because it appeared the kid was milking it and commentary from witnesses, other coaches etc. will show there was some spite to the 'treatment'...which will spell the end of Leach's tenure.




Really wasn't that hard to predict that one

CBSSportsline is reporting that Texas Tech has fired Mike Leach.

Gophers should stop contract talks with Brewster and hire Leach.

Just got back from a rather exciting Humanitarian Bowl between two of the weaker teams in this bowl season- both Bowling Green and my Idaho Vandals came into the game at 7-5.

The game was pretty exciting if you missed it- it will probably be the most exciting one of the entire bowl season.

In the first half, it looked as if BG was going to run it up- they could move the ball at wil. Whereas Idaho struggled. But when the half came, it was 14-14.

My Vandals came out like gang busters after the half, scored quickly, got a turnover, and scored again.

Then BGSU took all the momentum and scored twice themselves to make it 28-28.

The teams then traded TD's to make it 35 all, and Idaho had to punt with something under 2 min left in the game.

With 35 sec left, BGSU scored what looked to be THE touchdown.

But my Vandals scored with 4 seconds remainig in the game.

Naturally, you think OT, but Robb Akey thought otherwise, and went for 2 and got it!!!

43-42 Idaho!!!

GO VANDALS

Wow, what a game to go to. I would have loved to hear the broadcast of that one.

Happy New Year, you all!

It will be aired again on ESPN2 at 2AM (midnight mountain time). And SportsCenter has some great soundbites.

If whatever internet provider you have allows it, ESPN360 has most of the ESPN games on replay.

Not sure stuffing the kid in an electrical closet for 3 hours at a time with no place to sit and a guard outside the door is looking out for his well being. I'd never heard of Leach before this, but from the same internet reading it appears that he has a God complex. He does work for the school, and when your employer asks you to explain yourself you do it, instead of blowing them off. Not sure why anybody else would want to hire this guy. The risk that he kills somebody by keeping them on the field even though they're complaining of heat exhaustion seems pretty great to me.

Good for Texas Tech. Start letting the football coach run the school and you get things like the rape camp Tom Obsourne was running over in Nebraska during their championship years.

He doesn't have a God complex, he IS God. When Texas Tech fans were praying for a miracle against Texas last year, who do you think they were praying to? If you're looking for God, He was standing on the Red Raider sideline on the evening of November 1, 2008... :p

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I wasn't there but here is my guess...kid who coach doesn't like says he has a concussion and maybe says he shouldn't be out in the hot sun etc. Coach says, "so, you say you should stay in a dimly lit, cool room...yeah, I think we can help your treatment." "Hey Pete, lock this ninny in a closet and tell him if he comes out he's kicked off the team".

Coach then tells school/media..."we were providing treatment, we put him exactly where he should have been, in a dark, cool room. What is the problem" .... "Closet? no, it wasn't a closet, it was a fitness room. We were just looking out for his health, why would you think differently? I'm just shocked you'd think we were punishing him."

I mentioned earlier...the part where everybody says the kid was a problem etc. only supports the theory that the coach was acting in spite...they should have come out and said he was a great kid, never a problem etc.

Another signal of Leach's insanity...he knew the dad had access to the media and a lot of money and friends...would it have killed Leach to let the kid wear his sunglasses and lounge around?

Like the Chancellor said, Leach's biggest enemy was Leach...this is like the guy who robs the bank by writing the note on a paystub with his name and address...not too hard to solve and prosecute. He made it easy for them.





In that way

I don't know the details of the abuse, a court will work all that out later. But when you sue your boss what do you think is going to happen?
 
Re: College Football 2009: Where Championships are won by a majority vote

Toby Gerhart is a stud.

And Leach is going to take TT to the cleaners in court. TT needs to settle.

I feel bad for my friends who are Red Raiders fans. They're having their stupid AD fire the best coach they've ever had and now on top of that TT is going to have to pay a coach a ton of money that they never should have fired in the first place.

Terrible chop block call. Did anyone see that? Announcers didn't seem like they noticed, but the block was perfectly legal.

Then James is going to turn around and take him to the cleaners.
