Fox TV Station filed a motion to make hearing public and it was apparently granted. Let the airing of dirty laudry at Tech begin.

Play by play please

only if it is officially sanctioned

I hereby officially sanction this thread

I second that, its your honor your honor.............

wasn't all this supposed to go down at 0830?

Being a "public institution"; perhaps that had something to do with it?

started at 10:30. A Tech media service is reporting that Leach will be shortly fired with or without TRO. My comment could depend on wording of TRO if granted. But basically Leach has just requested enforcement of his contract by filing only a breach of contract claim. Tech could still be within its rights under contract by selecting the $400,000 per year buyout.

Summary of the events from Tech media correspondent

Under no circumstances will Mike coach in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday. I can assure you of that. 10 minutes ago from web Was told the courtroom is like a nightclub with one in and one out policy being set by the guards in attendance. 14 minutes ago from web Mike Leach is apparently not in attendance at his hearing right now although we have heard he is back in Lubbock. 18 minutes ago from web The courtroom is packed from wall to wall right now and the hearing has yet to begin. There are 30-40 folks waiting to get in. 20 minutes ago from web Make no mistake Mike wants to remain as Tech's head coach but at a certain point these two parties can't continue to coexist. 39 minutes ago from web The Leach hearing has been delayed t0 10:30am and get this, it's open to the public! Wow, this is all very surreal right now. 40 minutes ago from web Was just told from someone at the press conference at the Cotton Bowl that Nutt/Gundy were asked about Mike Leach's situation. about 2 hours ago from web I wonder if anyone even cares about this game on Saturday anymore? about 2 hours ago from web Im told more is going to come out on the whole situation and it could be soon. It looks like the Adam James stuff is just part of it. about 2 hours ago from Echofon Make no mistake, if Mike wins this hearing this morning Texas Tech will let him go shortly thereafter. Being widely reported now. about 2 hours ago from Echofon WR coach Lincoln Riley has gone on record now as sayin that Adam James is unbelievably lazy and entitled. about 3 hours ago from Echofon If Mike Leach wins his hearing this morning (which we don't expect) then things will get very interesting. about 3 hours ago from Echofon I have been told from more than one lawyer that it is highly unlikely that Leach will win this hearing tomorrow and be allowed to coach Sat. about 15 hours ago from web I've been asked who's at fault in this ordeal and my answer is: everyone. It is the institution of TX Tech that will suffer the most though. about 15 hours ago from web No truth to the rumor that Adam James was seeking a transfer to SMU and was denied this by Leach because Leach would've granted it. about 15 hours ago from web Okay, so Mike Leach will find out tomorrow around 9am or so if he'll be coaching his team on Saturday. Stay tuned. about 18 hours ago from web Talking to Rick Hill of the @ valeroalamobowl earlier an he indicated that the crowd on Saturday is expected to be near a sellout. about 21 hours ago from Echofon Brandon Smith, Urell Johnson and Beau Carpenter have all been talked to and are good. about 22 hours ago from Echofon I can confirm that Mike Leach is still in San Antonio and doesn't plan to leave until Sunday. about 22 hours ago from Echofon Just spoke with Lincoln Riley and he said he's going to do the best he can with play calling on Saturday

would it have killed you to hit 'enter' and indent some of that and delete the timestamp and from the web? cmon man

That is Chris Level's twitter page, BTW.

from a Raider backer's fb postings:

There has to be something BIG hidden somewhere, there is just not enough stink in this Adam James situation to merit this response.
5 minutes ago

ultimately james is right .....hance likes leach...ruff gets it if that is true..
4 minutes ago

leach may regret this hearing is open....it all could come out and I mean it all...the ugly of ugly.....

***edit: also alleges the hearing was pushed back b/c the attys weren't dressed for an open hearing

Well maybe Texas Tech can adopt a new fight song following all of this. I submit the great Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry"

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry

Well, I could've been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around

We got the bubbleheaded bleach-blonde, comes on at 5
She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet?
You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry

You don't really need to find out what's going on
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone, keep your dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff, kick 'em all around

Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
Love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing
When it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry

I don't know WTF that means, but it is one the dumbest things I have ever heard.

They must not have had their 'dress boots' on today....
