/ Pullman will never be the same

College football is better with The Pirate.

fark Craig James.

I pity the Huskies now.

mikaloyd: I pity the Huskies now.

Right, not only do they have to play this guy, but they have to drag those stupid sleds everywhere.

While I admire a lot of things about Leach, his cult really disturbs me. At least now he's tucked away somewhere obscure and irrelevant.

F*ck. Wazzu is back.

Damnit...

Looks like Wazzu might become an actual football program.

Good.

Just like their students, their coach applied to UW first lol

The fat little girlfriends of the WSU football players better watch out.

IAmRight: Athletic donation site at WSU supposedly crashed earlier today due to high volume of donations.

F*ck yeah, WSU is going to start acting like a BCS-caliber program!

For once you may actually be right, I like Leach, he got farked at TT.

bighasbeen: Leach only got in trouble because the James family are prima donna biatches and ESPN had an interest in making sure there weren't any threats to the Longhorn network in Texas.

Sure, I believe that last part right now. Because I'm obviously angry and not thinking clearly.

Or you are thinking clearly, I still dont understand the rationale behind the longhorn network, its not like they have people clamoring to see their games in every market, I think the local Comcast office has had about 25 requests to carry the network, out of a subscriber base of around 2 million.

This theory would probably make more sense if Leach wan't 2-8 against Texas.

Was/is Texas Tech even one of the top five choices for high-class Texas high school football recruits?

It was probably 4th or 5th. Something like Texas, OU, A&M, then Tech/OK St.

See my other posts above. I love Leach, and think he is a great coach. I also hate Craig James. I just think pulling Texas into this particular conspiracy theory is a bit silly.

Leach was 8-2 (I think) against A&M.

it's more like Craig James has a lot of powerful friends in Texas and got really really butthurt by Leach, coupled with Tech not wanting to pay Leach his bonus. I don't think LHN was a factor.

And the hopes and dreams of Kentucky football fans are crushed (again).

So...OSU will be going 0-5 in the division now?

MisterLoki: I just think pulling Texas into this particular conspiracy theory is a bit silly.

Well, sure.

I don't even know if they'd be that high. I was just pointing out that he can do good things.

The problem was that was changing, kids wanted to go to TT to be part of the flash of the new style offense, I was kidding about the conspiracy theory shiat, I just think Texas having their own network is stupid.

Mentat: . I don't think they ever intended it to be limited to Texas.

All the Texas fans I have met have an inflated ego of their school and of what other people think of them as well. Its a nice little school but outside of a little run in the 2000s what have they really done the past 20 or so year? I remember them not being a big deal back into the 80s even when people were trying to talk them up.

F*ck Craig James.

Also, f*ck ESPN for aiding in screwing over Leach and for firing the reporter that helped write Leach's biography.

*snert*

why? no seriously why?

this

well now WSU will win or lose their games by like 52-49 and it will be fun to watch. TT under Leach was a lot of fun to watch. As has been said many times upthread he got screwed over by James, ESPN and his own school that he turned into a winner.

/grats WSU fans.

5th largest in the US is little?

We sucked in the 80s and most of the 90s, but it has a huge fan base and cfb is fairly cyclical. Because of the enrollment and the (up until last couple years) fairly consistently strong performance throughout the modern BCS era they get a lot of attention. Plenty of other schools with large fan bases and a pretty abysmal record during the BCS era (A&M, Notre Dame, etc.) get lots of attention too. You'd be hard pressed to find a football team thats been good for a few decades in a row, especially back when national championship were even more retardedly decided than they are today.

That said, the Longhorn network was idiotic - not even Longhorns care enough to watch a channel that shows one or two crappy games and sports nobody cares about - but hey, if espn drove 300 million to your alma mater's door they would take it and be idiots not to.

Peter von Nostrand: Not sure why I stopped in this thread but I'm highly amused at the Texas conspiracy theories. DeLoss Dodds is teh anti-christ. Awesome

/not even a UT fan

The best ones recently where when people were whining that Texas's (unearned IMO) BCS ranking is because of the secret ESPN cabal - ignoring the fact that the ESPN/AP poll has no bearing on BCS rankings and the fact Texas is not ranked in that poll. Apparently Deloss and ESPN are hacking into the computer algorithms and boosting UT's Rank so that more people will subscribe to the Longhorn network and they can spend the money covering up the second gunman on the grassy knoll, the fake moon landing, and the 9/11 conspiracy that they are also behind...

I knew they killed Kendy Kennedey!

And for the first time since I saw his name, I realize it was Kenoy and not Kendy.

mike leach is a offensive genius. WSU football will become great fun
