to go on. This is nothing but a hot-dog eating contest now. It was fun and funny, but is getting a bit on the ridiculous now. The real message we should be going over is that the NFL has decided as a whole to pass on quarterbacks from Texas Tech. Why? To send their tired old message that they do not think much of spread offenses. Actually, if they would take a realistic view at their league, they will see that many of the top offenses in the NFL run a version of the spread, and drafting a spread offense-minded quarterback would actually be beneficial for them. It would make going into that particular offensive setup much easier for them if their quarterback was already well-versed in running it. For me, it is obvious that the best at running the spread are coming out of Texas Tech—-all of the quarterbacks Leach has had. Any of them could be successful NFL quarterbacks if the teams running the spread would bring them in and let them lead the way. So, the best thing to do would be to run through the offenses all the NFL teams use and determine those that need a Tech quarterback to run that offense that is closely related to the spread. I have a feeling the results of the inquiry will show over half the teams running a form of the spread a majority of the time. This will make for much more interesting reading until football season is here than a he said-he said type of coverage. Let us move forward.

these days. Sherman is on the hot seat and aggies are growing frustrated with losing so much. Leach made a statement that has been blown up by the media and it’s growing like a cancer. No mystery that Tech and A&M don’t like each other. A&M used to be the only rival to UT in the state in the old SWC days. The Big 12 changed everything along with Leach’s offense. Most people discard A&M these days as a team of the past. Tech’s national attention must really hurt these guys. I have an idea. Lets create a bronze Mike Leach in front of the stadium and point his rear towards A&M.

Gotta love Leach for gigging the Aggies: “a team the magnitude of Texas A&M and look over there on the bench and see third- and fourth-round draft picks.” Sherman is overmatched in this war of words!

I noticed Lyle Leong gets mentioned. I dont know what it is but there is just SOMETHING about this kid that I like. There is just something about the way this guy moves. He just LOOKS like a big time wideout. I will go so far as to say this kid is gonna have a GREAT season

That being said, everything Leach says is pure GOLD. I don’t like that McGee is caught in the middle, that’s why I think it’s improper, but I’m so torn because Leach is saying all the things I would say if pressed. The last quote about us being so privledged to play the Aggies is just, well, it’s just greatness.

is thick in that last statement, but I love how he left it where he did. Didn’t mention anything about how we have beat them (what are we to now?) ~10 out of the last 13 times. He just says it is a privilege to play them and moves on. That HAS to qualify as class, if he were being unclassy or disrespectful he would have brought up the recent record imo.

This ‘dispute’ was cute for a day or two. Now it’s just stupid. I’m not sure what Leach’s motivation is at this point for taking the shots, besides maybe boredom. Most people seem to think there’s a method to his madness, so we’ll see what the final word is.

Some folks may think it’s charming, (and I’m all for getting under Aggie skin) but I am guessing Tech will – yet again – get toasted in the media. I somewhat understand defending your players and program (why he feels he needs to do that with Aggie is beyond me)…but we just had the best draft in decades. He’s unwittingly minimizing the accomplishments of McBath, Williams, Vasquez and Crabtree with his comment about playing without draftable players. In this case, the more he say’s the worse we look…but then again, Tech is at their best when it’s the “us against the world” mentality they hold on to.

Should be an interesting game week this year, for sure.

IT!

Leach’s quotes brighten my day!

I just can’t bring it up too much around the Aggie wifey…. ;)

to consider coming to Tech and have even been able to sign a few. We simply do not have enough desire to use the money of our backers to sweeten any offer. What Tech can offer, and what several top recruits have said has attracted them to Tech, is the high graduation rate of the footballers, including all of the seniors this year graduating, which will move us further up the ladder, away from the rest of the Big-12. I think all of the recruits are seeing exactly what we see, the improvement of Mike Leach as a head coach. His bold move of making McNeil the DC was huge and will help improve this team very much. With the improved athletic abilities of the backs, the passing game will become even more deadly. Also, with Potts’ strong arm, stretching the field will help also to improve the overall offensive production. Excitement reigns.
