Have no fear. I am a longhorn but live up here. The AD and Chancellor are history in a book. Never has a situation been so badly reviewed and handled. The AD is a bad dream. He will be personally sued,in my opinion, along with each board member that allowed this groundless defamation to happen but the deep pockets will be ESPN and Tech itself. I would guess about a half a billion dollars in total award with punitive damages for slander and wrongful defamation. Leach is a lawyer and after he gets his injunction tomorrow ( an absolute cinch) he will leave and sue these bastards for HUGE damages . Hook em horns! ( We will beat alabama like a red headed step child.)
Gerald Myers hired Bob Knight and they had been friends for 30 years. That’s what confused me most about this entire episode.

Does anyone really doubt that what Leach did actually sounds just like something Bob Knight would do? Obviously Myers had no trouble with Knight’s actions at Indiana or he wouldn’t have recommended his hiring. Now you have Leach taking a page out of Knight’s playbook and Myers is threatening action.
Personally I don’t see the big deal here. Some ex-nfl player was saying how horrible this kid had been treated by his coach. I’d be willing to gamble that rookie hazing in the nfl is much worse than being stuck in an electrical closet for a few hours.
They didn’t play the U of W, so I think you meant WAZZU...
It was actually a media room with at least 3 attendees in it.
And I was there when Knight was fired and it seemed like Myers was out to get him and Leach. Maybe Myers thinks he is Obama
No, we beat the 10th ranked Washington Huskies in Lubbock in OT in basketball this year.
