Abrupt Harrell disappearance
Did anyone else watch the College Football Live show from today? In the opening teaser, they said they would talk to Harrell. They started the show with a pretty in-depth look at the game then moved on to some of the other games for the weekend. Initially, I thought it was weird that Harrell would appear on the show, as that seemed quite unLeach-like. Every commercial break they would tease that they would be talking to Harrell. About 10 minutes before the show ended, they flashed up Harrell's stats then said: "And, now, on the phone, we have (don't remember), safety (or corner?) for the University of Texas Longhorns". It was a pretty abrupt transfer from the Harrell graphic to the phone call, so I'm thinking they threw the UT guy in there not just last minute, but last second. I watched the rest of the show to see if Harrell would eventually show, but he didn't. With Leach's approach to media appearances, it didn't surprise me at all that Harrell didn't end up on the show. I just hope some dumb Tech media relations person didn't make some promise to ESPN that he/she knew wouldn't find favor with Leach and have it ultimately overrulled. I can see that generating that much more apathy (perceived or not) on ESPN's part towards Tech if we're breaking promises last-second.

I think they were just teasing up that they would be looking at harrell’s stats and stuff, though i certainly had the same impression

Checked the recording...
And, at the beginning, the first guy said that Harrell would be joining them shortly. Should’ve seen that not-so-smooth transition from the Harrell graphic to a phone call with a UT secondary member. Not quite smooth. Ha.

in that case, woo.
ESPN.com wrote an article complaining about leach keeping Harrell from giving any interviews. Sooo, it doesn’t surprise me.
