“Death of an Offense” written by the Regents of Texas Tech University and directed by Tuberville.

I read where Leach might get an offer from Tennessee. If so, he better hope that Phil Sims son isn’t the same momma’s boy that Craig James son was. Watched him on CBSSports and must say he is one lousy color man (even admitted he might be in over his head). BUT, I always admired Leach’s offenses and ability to recruit QBs, even tho it PO’d me when they beat my ‘Horns in the last seconds.

I think he got a raw deal at Tech, but that’s the way it is these days in our pansy society. In any event, I wish him well.

Talk about stupid announcers! lol The guys announcing the Tech game this past weekend brought up the fact that Leach was now gone from Tech (as if anyone watching that game didn't know that story!) then mentioned the irony of how Leach loves pirates and was announcing the game for East Carolina State Pirates. I kept waiting for him to say AND the new Head Coach at ECU is Leach's former Defensive Coach.

Nothing - not a mention of Ruffin McNiell as the new HC. I looked at my husband and asked if they even interview these idiots before hiring them.

Oh and as an interesting tidbit - Leach got fired for putting the little princess inside a press room after he whined about his head, but Tuberville played our QB, who has a documented history of a concussion after he was hit hard enough in the jaw to need XRAYS. Now who is risking students health?

I have no direct connection to Texas Tech in any way aside from some co-workers who got engineering degrees there. I did visit the campus many years ago while in West Texas and was pleasantly surprised at the beautiful architecture. So that's about all I really knew about TTU.

When Mike Leach took over the program, watching the Red Raiders became "must see TV". With all due respect to Spike Dykes, it was Leach who really energized things there and put Tech on the map nationally. If I were an alum of Texas Tech, I don't know that I'd ever be able to forgive Craig James.
