and as a university, UNT is ranked by USNews as third tier - really not good at all. The average SAT score of their students is among the lowest in the state. They have a long way to go to even break into the top 100 - and it won't happen in any of our lifetimes.

CJ can't do anything to Leach during his campaign for Senate. It will make him look even more ridiculous bringing back the Tech fiasco to the public's eye. However, after he loses, I'm sure he'll sue The Pirate. They both have egos the size of Texas and won't stand idly by.

He is desperate for attention since he is going to the only loser college that would hire him. Leach will disappear in nowheresville of Pullman, Washington. Once he starts losing, we won't hear much from him.

Once he starts losing??? Good luck w/ that. Everywhere he's been he's won. 10 years at Tech, 10 straight bowls. Now taking over a team that had one of nations best passing games last year despite using three QB's. Leach will have them winning 7-9 games this year and it will only get better after that.

As far as all this "CJ is going to sue Leach" talk, that's hilarious. Leach is being asked to sign a book w/ a certain inscription. And he is obliging. Last time I checked there is no law against that. And all those claiming Leach is lying... :lol: Holy crap, I know CJ went to SMU but unless you've been living in a cave the past two years then you know that all CJ did was lie about Leach AND helped to get him fired AND hired a PR firm to promote on You Tube how "evil" Leach was. Talk about defamation.

Jesus... homer-ism only goes so far, at some point you have to face the facts. And the facts in this case show that Adam lied, locked himself in the closet because, according to his own words in his deposition, he thought it would "be funny." Then his dad stepped onto the national spotlight at ESPN to rip Leach apart and he is still doing it on his pathetic Senate campaign as he recently did an interview where he called Leach "evil" and said that he never lied about any of this.

And he admits to taking a "small portion" of money whilst playing at SMU.

The guy is a politician through and through - he takes money illegally then lies about it, he uses his kid to get someone who was innocent of any wrong-doing fired and lies about that and then has the nerve to call said coach "evil," all the while hiring a PR firm to bolster his lies. When it's all said and done Leach will own CJ's butt and WSU will be winning a lot of games.

Sorry dr death - leach lost his suit against tech. And writing stuff line that makes him look line the insecure and immature s. o.b. he is. It is a lot easier to win at tech than WSU. We will see and if he does win, I will be the first to say I got it wrong.

Uh, no, Treadway21, he didn't "lose" his lawsuit against Tech. There is some antiquated law in Texas that provides Sovereign Immunity to Universities and the courts in Texas upheld that stupid law. However, Leach still has suits against CJ, ESPN and Spaeth Communications, the aforementioned PR Firm.

ESPN just announced that WSU's first game vs BYU has been moved to Thursday night and a national television audience. Hmmm... perhaps they are trying to make some strides to lessen the blow in their wrongful acts, but CJ and Spaeth won't get any break at all.

FWIW... During Leach's 10 years at Tech they had the highest graduation rate of any football program in the country. The guy has a law degree from Pepperdine Law School. All of which means two things: He takes education quite seriously and he knows the law. He knows what he can and can't do.

And how is it easier to win at Tech than WSU??? Because of Texas??? Leach had a very good recruiting class this year and after this year he'll be pulling kids in from Texas as well as California. Keep in mind, he did what he did at Tech w/ mostly 2 and 3-star players. He'll do better at WSU because he spent time during his two years off talking w/ people about defense and is placing a greater importance on that side of the ball. His offense will still be lethal.

As far as your comment about his being "insecure and immature" you should check out fans of other teams who have met him. There are clips on You Tube as well as stories from Texas fans, Nebraska fans and A&M fans who all met him at various times and said he was as nice as could be. My feeling is that if some idiot got you fired, lied to the nation about you, and then hired a PR firm to spread those lies, you'd be a just a tad ticked off too.

Bottom line is this: Leach will win at WSU, CJ will NOT win in his political chase, Leach will continue to prosper and CJ won't be welcome back at ESPN. And CJ will be out of a good amount of money too.

lets get back to reality here

lawsuit with Tech

Leach was going to lose the lawsuit against Tech one way or another.....Texas Tech had 100% of the right to ask the idiot mike to sign a change in policy dealing with the treatment of injured players....the letter he was ask to sign was made public and it in no way shape or form admits guilt to anything it merely clarifies and sets future policy for dealing with the treatment and return to competition for injured players period...head injuries to players especially in the NFL were a MAJOR issue when baby mike had his Adam James tantrum and even if mike had not had his tantrum Texas Tech would have had 100% of the right to ask mike to sign a change in policy dealing with injured players and if mike refused they had 100% of the right to fire him

mike even said he agreed with the policy, but would not sign it and to stick a copy in his "file" and as someone with a law degree he should have known this was 100% not acceptable to Texas Tech and was actually worse and exposed Texas Tech to even more issues if a player was injured in the future and returned to play too soon

further more mike was even given the opportunity to have his legal counsel craft an acceptable to him agreement and he refused and sued to keep being in the supervision of student athletes without accepting a legally allowable policy dealing with the treatment and return to competition of injured players and because of that Texas Tech had no choice but to fire him PERIOD....there was never anyone asking him to admit any guilt only ask to accept a new policy dealing with injured players after allegations of abuse of an injured players.....it would be similar to Arkansas asking their coaches to sign an agreement about them banging people under direct supervision of them and one of them flying off the handle, cussing out the AD and refusing to sign the letter and still trying to keep their job....no university could allow that behavior after an allegation or an incident

as for the lawsuit against Craig James and Speath......it will go like this....."mike did you tell a trainer to stick a player with a medically diagnosed concussion in a room so dark he could not find his [deleted] if it was in his hand"

"yes"

"is there any medical doctor on earth that would prescribe standing in a dark training shed or in a dark room or closet for a concussion"

"no"

"does Texas Tech have millions of dollars worth of training facilities available for the treatment of injured players"

"yes"

"why did you not use those facilities instead of a dark room, closet, or shed "

"I don't know"

"dismissed"

other teams thinking how zany mike is and how nice and wacky and cool

ask any of the fans of OU, UT, Tennessee (twice), Auburn(twice), Miami(twice) if they would consider zany wacky mike for a head coach for their program and the answer gets met with laughs and "hell no he is good for a program like Tech"

which shows that it is always funny to have a wacky zany coach when he is not beating your team, when your team is not paying him, and as long as you can point to a program you don't have much respect for and say "he is good for them but not for US" and after 11 years with people still saying that about Tech it shows that wacky mike put Tech on the map for having an idiot for a coach and nothing more because no one really looks at them as a football power just a school that put a lot of points on programs that often sucked

mike won 8.4 games per season over 11 years with a horrible OOC schedule that had 2 D1-AA teams on it several times and he never won a 12 team conference or even division of the conference a single time in 11 years.....that might be "lighting it up" for SMU, but not for programs that have aspirations of actually doing something and damn sure not for the money he was paid all those years

mike had a #53 recruiting class this year so that might be a great class "for SMU" but is sucks for any team that is trying to actually accomplish something of significance and here soon when WSU continues to recruit in the 40s and high 30s like mike did often at Tech their fans will grow tired of paying for cult of mike and all his off season zany wacky mike BS while their program continues to do nothing of significance and mike continues to ask for more money, get turned down begging for "better jobs" and generally spending his time building the cult of mike VS a major program that is accomplishing things of significance

in 2011 WSU had a #57 class and sure it was his "first season" but many coaches have an improvement in their first season recruiting at a new team especially an improvement over a #57 and sure #53 is an improvement over that, but not much of one

Tuberville had a significant improvement his first year and has continued to recruit better than airraid mike did and mikes OBVIOUS poor recruiting the last several years at Tech is pretty apparent on the field especially last year and with the total lack of talent going into the NFL

mike is great for programs that will be happy with 7-9 wins with [deleted] poor OOC schedules and really no chance of ever getting above that no matter how long you have him and continue to tolerate his continued public demands for more money and his total lack of attention to defense, special teams, or recruiting and his constant attention to building cult of mike and as long as you enjoy fans of other programs that are actually accomplishing things telling you how they love your coach because he is so carzy, wacky, zany, mike

A man that actually knows the facts-I think I remember you on the Texas Tech board during this time.One last despicable thing that Mike Leach did. Rather than work through established administrative channels he decided to get up on his coaching soap box and rally the rabid fanbase of a large state university to demean and castigate a College student athlete-what a classy guy. For that reason alone no university should ever hire the guy and no parent should want him to coach their son. Mike Leach is an immature [deleted] who could take lessons on Class from the kid who he ridiculed.

Sure sounds like a lost case to me. Isn't that how most cases are lost? Some pesky law preventing you from doing whatever the heck you want to do? Darn those laws.

Rather than quote all three of the above posts, I'll just respond quoting this one. As far as the one I am quoting, what you have to realize is that antiquated law gives Universities free-will to do whatever they want w/ no recourse for those they are screwing over. It would be like you driving 55 in a 55 zone, a cop pulls you over and writes a ticket that says you were going 110, yet the cop has no evidence to prove this, but the law - or court/judge - side w/ the cop because that's just the way they run things.

Pesky law? Damn right. When a University plans - a year in advance - to fire a coach, and numerous e-mails bear this out, and said University is not held accountable, doesn't even have to face questioning about it because of this horse**** Sovereign Immunity law, then yes, that is a "pesky law" and a law that is an absolute injustice.

Now, to the other posts, Leach was asked to "apologize" to Cry Baby James and he refused. Seems reasonable to me; he did nothing wrong. So why would he apologize when he did nothing wrong? Cry Baby - or Daddy's Boy - however you want to refer to him, showed up w/ an alleged concussion and Leach told a trainer to "place him in a dark place" because the doctor said in the note that he - Cry Baby/Daddy's Boy - should not be in sunlight.

The trainer then placed him in a massive area right near the practice field and checked on him every 10-15 minutes. Cry Baby/Daddy's Boy even admits in his own deposition that he "thought it was funny" and when he sent the video to his jerk of a father he said, "You're going to like this."

Yeah, sounds like he was really endangered! :lol:

Look, I get it. CJ went to SMU. And since he's an alumni a lot of you feel the need to defend him. Despite the fact that he was one of those taking money which ultimately resulted in your Death Penalty and a complete absence from the college football scene for 25 years. Why you would defend a worthless, lying piece of **** like him is beyond me, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

But he, his cry baby son, ESPN and Spaeth Communications have all lied and will, ultimately, pay a helluva price for it. As far as Tech... Tuberville is recruiting better but how's that W-L record??? :lol: Yeah, that's working out real well. As far as Leach's recruiting this year, first of all he arrived after the season was over. And grading recruiting classes based on some magazines score is no different than the idiots that grade NFL drafts the day after the draft ends.

Enjoy the crow you'll be eating when Washington State is winning and going to Bowl Games and Tech is going 4-8. Of course w/ Tuberville's great recruiting skills, that record could elevate to 5-7.

No one is really defending CJ, they are attacking Leach. Leach is a [deleted] and most people recognize it.

"Seems reasonable to me; he did nothing wrong."

Punishing a player for an injury that he suffered playing for your team seems wrong to most people.

I said the day Leach filed his lawsuit that his attorneys had essentially committed malpractice. Posted on the Texas Tech Scout board his administrative remedies in the Texas Tech Bylaws which provided procedural due process which he was required to follow BEFORE filing suit. If that procedural due process failed his remedy of last resort believe it or not is to petition the Texas Legislature for payment of a claim. Its delicious he got ZERO plus mountains of attorneys bills from attorneys who [deleted] up.

Enjoy the crow you'll be eating when Washington State is winning and going to Bowl Games and Tech is going 4-8. Of course w/ Tuberville's great recruiting skills, that record could elevate to 5-7.


1. how does a university plan for a year in advance for head injuries in the NFL and for player abuse at USF to become national stories along with their idiot coach to make an [deleted] out of himself and refuse to sign changes in policy for the treatment of injured players so they can fire him.....one would have to be plain stupid to believe that

2. the emails you mention were discussing what to do with titty baby mike during the contract negotiations that year and only that year (a year earlier during contract negotiations that mike wanted to concentrate on all year VS having his team ready to play OU and Ole' Miss in the Cotton Bowl).......they were spun to be discussing the events that happened a year later and they were spun by the cult of mike machine to somehow be relevant to something a year later....one only need actually read the emails and be aware of what was going on during the contract negotiations to realize that.....and again how was it possible to conspire for a coach to put himself in a position to get fired.....if the idiot had just signed the documents or had documents crafted by his legal team he would have kept his job......that is some great plan of course with mike being such a moron it probably would actually be possible to count on him doing something stupid

3. he was ask to apologize and in the end that was stricken and initialed by Guy Bailey the president of Texas Tech and that is clear in the document that was made public and again idiot mike had a chance for his legal team to craft an acceptable document and instead he had a tantrum (I guess that was all part of the year long plan right :roll: :lol: )

4. no medical professional would state that placing Adam James in a shed or in a room was an acceptable treatment or thing to do for someone with a concussion.....the fact that Adam James was not injured was not relevant and the idiot mike was actually cleared of that.....again what you fail to understand is that after an incident like that which was highly public Texas Tech had the right and in fact the legal responsibility to clarify the treatment of injured players......Texas Tech does not have the luxury of saying well "all is well this time so lets just move on like nothing happened" they have the responsibility to all their athletes to make sure that there is a clear policy for the future treatment of injured layers.......and since mike is such an idiot (and I guess a co-conspirator in the year long plan to get mike to make an [deleted] of himself) he refused to sign off on that change in policy, cussed out his bosses bosses boss and went to court and he was rightfully fired

again mature intelligent people realize that college sports and college coaches are not dream worlds and not subjected to the real world and the issues in the real world and they understand that after an incident a major university or any organization or business has the right to craft a change in policy to make sure that there is little chance of future incidents (with or without injury) instead of just saying "oh it is crazy wacky zany pirate mike and his 8-4 wins a season so just ignore the duty to make sure that idiot mike does not have another incident with a future injured player that cost us greatly and that does result in an injury and lawsuit"

5. no one is taking up for craig james they are just pointing out that idiot mike was responsible for idiot mike getting fired and that idiot mike had a chance to save his job and instead he conspired with the BOR, the AD, the president, and the chancellor of the university to get himself fired by flying off the handle and acting like a fool instead of signing a document that Tech was wisely asking him to agree to for the future treatment of injured players

6. the concussion was not "alleged" it was medically diagnosed.......period.....the doctors are on record and there was never a dispute that he was injured and there was never a dispute that sticking him in a shed or a dark room was not and never would be endorsed by a doctor period especially at a place with millions of dollars in training facilities available

7. as for Tuberville.....he recruits better than mike did his first short recruiting season at Tech

he was playing the last two years with mostly mikes recruits....he won 8 games his first season which was only .4 less than mike averaged over 11 seasons

his second season was bad, but the total and complete lack of talent on defense and the corresponding recruiting classes from mike that match up to last year make it clear that there was a lack of talent because of a lazy coach that is a poor recruiter and goes with the "do more with less" idea that no program has even done anything of real achievement with

mike is keeping his reputation of poor recruiting at WSU and he can keep doing "more with less" while achieving nothing of consequence and WSU can keep paying more and more and putting up with cult of mike and mikes me me me demands....all Tuberville has to do is win 8 or 9 games this season and he will be right back to where mike was "achieving" for 11 seasons and Tuberville will continue to have better recruits to work with and recruits that match his system of actually trying to win a conference or a BCS game VS mikes make a bowl game and score points and build my cult philosophy

8. there is not a chance in hell that leach will win his lawsuit against the James family, ESPN, or Spaeth because it is an established fact that mike flew off the handle and stuck Adam James in a shed and in a dark closet and he has publicly stated on camera that it was because of the concussion which is not the proper treatment for that injury and Texas Tech 100% had the right to clarify policy to prevent future incidents like that and mike refused that....and it is clearly on record that mike was reacting in anger towards Adam James by the words that he said to the trainers when he said to stick AJ in a dark room where he can not find his [deleted] if it was in his hand....that is not the way for a coach of student athletes that makes millions of dollars a year to treat an injured player and to represent a university that is the way an idiot that can't control themselves behaves and no jury will see what was reported was slander or false based on that period

mike is wasting his time, money, and he is going to cost another university the opportunity to win anything of significance while he waste his time and attention on something that is over and done and that he should move on from the way that AJ did when he continued to play at Tech and when he actually had his best season representing Tech as a mature adult in his senior season

Not my area of expertise, but it would seem that if you make a statement to a 3rd party that the 3rd party knows is false and where the 3rd party takes it as a joke, damages = zero.
