I was surprised that they were as candid as they were. Davies made a very pointed comment towards the end of the game that said "at some point, you have to be able to conform" referencing both Leach and the players that MSU kicked off the team.

I have noted that no Leach supporters have dealt with the substance of the information contained in the affidavits which directly refutes the obfuscating blather that has come from them for days.

Substance like that Leach was fired a day or two before he was due a large chunk of money on his contract, or that he was fired after a one day “investigation” that I am sure was extremely thorough? It is pretty obvious to me why he was fired and I do not think it is because of how he treated James. BTW, both places James was kept in for an hour or two are nicer (bigger, better amenities) than many of the places military guys and gals his age live in for a year at a time. The military folks get concussions and are usually kept in their living quarters which are much smaller with fewer amenities all of the time and they do not have medical pros checking on them every 15 minutes. The spaces James was in are nicer than many of the places I have lived in as a military contractor. I guess I just do not get it, staying for an hour or two in a nice, large, well ventilated space with water available while being monitored by medical personnel just does not seem overly cruel to me. Was the kid physically hurt in some way that is not being reported or was it only his feelings that were hurt? Does the offense of hurting a player’s feelings rise to the level of firing Coach Leach during bowl week? I don’t think it does. Perhaps it is simply because I am not as sissified as some folks are but I fail to see anything to feel sorry for James about in this whole mess, he just comes off as such a spoiled jerk now.
