apparently related to Adam James and the equipment bin incident

I thought maybe it had something to do with scurvy...

however, after reading about the incident w/ AJ, and all that's going on re: concussion awareness, that sounds pretty chickensh$t of Leach. I don't know the whole story, admittedly

Completely unsubstantiated, but I got a call that said it has to do with Craig James son and a concussion he had received. For whatever it's worth.

More from Lubbock:

Until the investigation is complete, Texas Tech University is suspending coach Leach from all duties as Head Football Coach effective immediately. The investigation into this matter will continue in a thorough and fair manner.
Coach Ruffin McNeill will assume duties as Interim Head Coach and will coach the team during the Alamo Bowl.

By the way, SMU's first opponent for 2010 is...Texas Tech in Lubbock!

here's a detailed version of one rumor-quite frankly I love it when [deleted] Coaches get shown up for being assholes-not that I'm saying it is true

another unsubstantiated report...but for what it's worth:

Adam James , son of Craig James, had a concussion this year. Toward the end of the year he wasn't practicing and Leach was not happy. Leach made him walk around the practice fields every day all day during practice. Apparently Leach was pissed that James showed up at practice with sunglasses on and when asked why he was wearing sunglasses to workout. James said he was sensitive to light and the doctors instructed him to wear them due to symptoms of the concussion.

Leach then instructed Adam James to take out all of the equipment in the equipment bins and sit throughout practice inside of them. He had to do this 2 or 3 times.

hopefully this embarrassment will leave them in some disarray next September when we play them. we've got a tough schedule and could use a few breaks...they're going to be loaded next year. Gotta think Leach will really want to move on if he can't coach their bowl game.
