Mike leach's wife selling his Tech clothing on Ebay?



So apparently Mike Leach's wife is selling some of his Texas tech team team issued gear on Ebay.

 

There are several blogs who have called attention to this, none of which are particularly reliable, however the Ebay username is Captainsbride and the location is set to Lubbock, TX

 

All of the items are listed as team issued gear.

 

Ebay Listings

 

Check out the listings and tell me what you think. If you think they are real, what do you think they will sell for?

Poverty driven habits must be hard to break

The wife of a guy earning a couple million dollars a year holds a garage sale? What’s the most she’s going to get for all the stuff? 2-300 bucks? It wouldn’t be worth the aggrevation of packaging everything up & standing in line at the post office. But prior to 12 years ago she was probably married to the lowest paid member of his Pepperdine School of Law graduating class. So maybe she is making every penny count against possible future poverty.

Please stop ending every controversial comment with 'Just saying'. Drives me batty. Thank you.

Leach might be a lot of things

but I don’t think being broke or poverty stricken will be one of them. He has a law degree, a nationally recognized name, a book due out in a year or so, and a possible coaching job again soon. Plus, he still has that lawsuit thing going on which might win him the lotto.

I don’t see him begging for change on the street corner anytime soon.

I suspect

Someone set these auctions up this way to get a buzz out about them. Thus increasing page views and prices.

I could be wrong though.

I agree

I don’t think the Captain was a hunter and would therefore probably not need or want a camo cap. Of course, if he was going after three birds on a wire, well I better not go there.

location

I don’t think they are for real. Didn’t the Leach family move to Florida? if so then why would these items be shipped from Lubbock?

by ttuagr on Mar 2, 2010 6:06 PM CST reply actions  

more than likely

if they are Leach’s goods he passed them on to a neighbor of something. I can’t see Leach wanting to sport the double T’s after what happened. Personally, I would have trashed or all that gear had the witch hunt happened to me.

Probably from an assistant coach

They are definitely legit freebies to a Tech program; several of those products were/are not available to the public. That said, I seriously doubt they are from the Captain’s stash.

Imposter

If it were then its a bad one, because as mentioned they are in Key West. A good imposter would know that. Nonetheless some neat stuff. Anyone know if they are having the garage sale this year.

I don't care where it all came from

I am gonna buy that black shirt and tell everyone that Leach tossed it to me after the UT game in 2008. Just like the Coke commercial with the kid and Mean Joe Green. It might get me a few free beers whenever I tell the story in a bar.

I hope it comes with a certificate of authenticity.
