SMU to provide unusual media access ... sort of

Expect SMU coach June Jones to be extremely cooperative to the CBS College Sports telecast crew coming to town for Saturday afternoon's game against Washington State. One of the announcers, Jones said, is scheduled to be one Mike Leach, ex of Texas Tech.
"I'll probably never treat him like a media person," Jones said Monday afternoon with a laugh. When young Leach was concocting his offensive philosophy of spreading the field decades ago, he did so with the help of a few sitdowns with Jones.
As for the physical state of Mustangs players injured in last Saturday night's win over UAB, Jones expects starting cornerback Sterling Moore (knee), backup running back Darryl Fields (thigh bruise) and reserve defensive back Randy McKinnon (knee) all to be ready. Moore and Fields are already back, Jones said, while McKinnon will probably miss a few practice days.

The interesting thing about the news post is the good news regarding the health of our players.

Beat WSU...Pony UP

The last tidbit is great news. Hopefully, we can get up big early, so that Moore, Fields, and McKinnon can all rest.

hate to say it, but wouldn't mind if Leach had a little brainstorming session with Jones today.

we don't have an indoor practice facility much less a dark shed

good news on the injury front.

does JJ really mean that he'll give Leach more access? I would think that if he is a potential future opposing coach, you might give him less access/insight -- especially in light of the typical Leach coaching behavior against SMU.

great to hear that our guys are healthy.

Glad to hear about the injury news, especially Sterling.
Don't care about the pirate since I'll be at the game and not watching on TV.

I'd like to see JJ pick Leach's brain about possibly using the shallow cross concept from the Air Raid offense to help get Padron going.

Leach qualifies as "unusual media" and we are providing him access, so I'm not sure why the "sort of" is tacked on

E for Effort though,

Way good news and especially happy about Randy McKinnon as he was pretty bummed and thought it was more serious....we knew Sterling would be playing but still think we should rest him for the TCU game...

aaaa
