Adam James thought solitary confinement 'was funny.' Really?

A decent read from Matt Hinton "If you were a slightly more resilient 21-year-old, on the other hand, you might see the humor in brief solitary confinement -- even your own -- which the younger James apparently did, according to Leach lawyers present when the James gang gave sworn testimony "

Is that the "cat that ate the canary" or what?

Tech #5 Seed in NIT

Tech #5 Seed in NIT

Tech secured a #5 seed in the NIT tournament. Not bad after losing the last 7 games of the season and hopefully they can take some momentum into the off-season. Their first game is Tuesday night at 8pm central on Espn2 against Seton Hall. If they win, they will probably play #1 seed Arizona State. These games are very winnable if they show up to play.

Eating the Dinosaur

Anyone else seen this article by Klosterman? It's published in his book Eating the Dinosaur... unfortunately here published on ESPN... but for the record, it pre-dates the Leach firing.

My favorite part is where he talks about how the ideas of football outsiders become mainstream.

Fox 34 Video Coverage of Leach Stuff - Check Out What Hance Says About Leach's Post Game Speech

According to a written statement provided by Leach's team, Hance was in the locker room after the Baylor and Kansas games and witnessed Mike's speech's.

After the Baylor game, he told Leach that that may have been the best post-game speech that he has heard and sometimes you have to "go West Texas" to get your point across. Amazing.

I've got to work on some things this morning that will preclude me from getting any commentary on the revelations from yesterday's deposition of Mike Leach.

LondonRaider with two FanShots (one and two). Pretty good coverage from the LAJ's Matthew Mcgowan as both sides are claiming they have a leg up on the other. I'd also point you to the DT's Alex Ybarra, who apparently is staying in Lubbock for spring break just to cover the story. Alex should be passed out on a beach somewhere, but he's working. Kudos.

Finally, here's DTN's story on Mike Leach videos after the Kansas and Baylor games. Continue to comment here and imisswesttexas pondered, as did I yesterday as to the fact that there were only so many people that knew about those videos, I'd be curious as to how specific that Chip Brown's application for the Freedom of Information Act actually was and I'd also like for someone to ask him how he found out about those videos.

For those of you who would like to completely ignore everything Texas Tech for a good five minutes, check out this video, which is a tilt-shift video of New York City. It is completely safe for work and I thought it was neat. That's right, I said, neat.

Leach Deposition Coverage

Good summary of the day's events.

Thoughts:

Interesting. Is Dicky Grigg giving up on the insubordination claim? Is he pinning Tech's argument on Leach's alleged treatment of A. James?

(See video on the right hand side.)

Leach's Attorney Comments on Depositions

"The Bailey memo also stated, Dobrowski said, that university policy gave Leach the right to file a lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order after he was suspended Dec. 28 "without fear of retaliation." Yet he accused Anders of recommending that Leach be fired if he filed a lawsuit."

ESPN is turning the cogs of the propaganda machine again. Those videos that Seth posted are on the front page. If you read the comments, the people are seeing right through this veil.

Breaking Down the 2010 Big 12 Football Schedule

Interesting read folks. Texas Tech is always a tough place to play and a last-second loss in Lubbock kept the Longhorns from making the national title game in 2008. The key to Texas Big 12 fortune, though, lies in timing. They don't really have back-to-back difficult match ups as October ninth is an open date between Nebraska and Oklahoma.
