[QUOTE="UltimoIce"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] Tis sad, sad days for Tech fans :cry:rawsavon
So were you a mad scientist (pirate)supporter? Not sure what to think about that. Maybe you can give me some perspective.
Just checked, we don't play you next year, its A&M we go to. Too many Texas schools...
I like beer and shots...no wine (so as not to derail thread) It is a 'complicated' situation... 1. The admin. did not like Leach 2. They did not want to pay him what he earned -but they were forced to after he got to #2 in the Nation -they wanted him out and this was their excuse -there are emails b/w admin and alumns that make it clear they wanted a deal where it was easy to fire him 3. He did a stupid thing -but it was not that bad -the kid was put in the press conference room and a 'garage' that is bigger than my office, overlooks the practice facility, had ice and fan, and overlooks the practice field 4. Craig James tried to strong arm the coach and university...called weekly to complain about playing time -same parent that moved his kid around HS's trying to get him playing time 5. Lubbock is a difficult place to recruit (small, ugly town...no history/tradition...medium size school) -you need something that sets you apart to get kids to come -Leach brought that -we were finally getting good recruits after the success of Wes Welker and Crabtree 6. I just liked him -had a law degree from Pepperdine (very smart) -did it his way (no kissing up to school/alumns) -brought something to city we never hadYeah, the guy was obviously brilliant. Unfortunately he was too brilliant, and thus borderline insane. I think he might have survived the allegations if he had just apologized, instead of attacking the school with lawyers. Was a tragic end.
He would have survived, but not been 'him' (if that makes any sense)...on of the things I like about him is that he stayed true to himself -but they would have fired him eventually anyways -the writing had been on the wall for a whileYeah, the guy was obviously brilliant. Unfortunately he was too brilliant, and thus borderline insane. I think he might have survived the allegations if he had just apologized, instead of attacking the school with lawyers. Was a tragic end.

I used to smoke nearly a pack a day but have quit for a year now since the 1st week on January 2009. My favorites were Camel Wides & Dhajrum Black, Cherry & many other flavors(sp).
I enjoy drinking Whiskey & Rum. Brand name is subjective depending on how you drink your whiskey or rum but to drink it straight up or on the rocks, I prefer Jim Bean & Ballantines for Whiskey & for rum I prefer Bacardi Gold.
I enjoy having some wine or a beer or two but only beer that has flavor & depth. No Mass Produced American Piss Beer please. Here's looking at you Budweiser. :)
