TT's Mike Leach Suspended

[RGV Pony]

Just got this from a friend who works for CBS News:

Just saw the paperwork filed by Mike Leach's attorney seeking an injunction to allow him to Coach the Alamo Bowl. My prediction: Leach will be on the sidelines come Saturday.

I think Stallion scooped your buddy at CBS news

Boy- these James kids are quite the program killers. Anymore of them coming up?

Sorta like Wacker?

(Craig James hadn't a d@mn thing to do with SMUs dp, and Adam isn't to blame for Leach's idiocy.)

I've always been under the impression Wacker was a good man.

Sure, he may have been a good guy. But they were cheating too.

I always liked Wacker too. If James hadn't actually taken money, then I would agree with you. And while I don't know what all happened yet with the situation up at Tech, I can guarentee you the James kid being a huge [deleted]/wuss-puss played some part.

You don't know crap, toady.

Could anyone even have dreamed this up in a bad novel? Throw in the potential Senate run by Craig James and you have quite the mess on your hands.

I'm thinking this looks like more of a "Meat on the Hoof" kind of episode. I suspect that James was not working out as a tight end for Mike Leach and he'd like to get a vacancy to offer that scholarship to a better player. Leach put him probably in some tackling dummy drills where James was essentially the tackling dummy. He gets a concussion. Leach then puts him in a closet to "treat his concussion", then puts him in a smaller closet later on. Leach probably asked him to quit at some point and James probably said "no" which led to the stand off. Again, this is my speculation, I just remember those bad old days when coaches would try to run off players by sheer physical punishment.

***Just got word that Rivals.com has a story that Adam James filed paperwork at Texas Tech two weeks ago to transfer to an, as yet, unnamed Div. 1 school and was DENIED because he wanted to maintain his eligibility instead of sitting out the required 1 year. If anyone has a Rivals subscription, maybe they can post it.***

One of the threads in that Tech board somebody linked to said it was a release to SMU.

And you believed something you read on a Tech board? Please....

I've heard that from numerous sources.

Tech does not grant transfers without the required one year to any Big12 or Texas division 1 school.

I do believe that the transfer was to SMU. <editorial content kept to myself>

Kevin Sherrington from DMN weighing in on the Leach issue:

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/122909dnsposherrjamesqt.2724b21b.html

The comments are rabid from the Sand Aggie faithful - expect a bomb threat to the DMN soon.

somebody post 'go ponies' in the comments. I'm too lazy to register, but want to watch the carnage

Someone did under the name 'goldenoldie'.

However this turns out it is going to be UGLY. Tech's recruits and their parents must be having serious second thoughts and the team will probably fall into separate camps depending on the kind of experience they have had under Leach. Possible scenario leading up to this:

James is unhappy with playing time. Has laundry list of complaints against Leach. Leach knows it and overreacts. James family asks Myers and Kent Hance for an apology and a release. They agree but Pirate boy refuses. Power struggle between Leach and Myers ensues. Hard feelings from last years contract negotiations which were resolved at last minute by Hance and Pirate boy persist. Myers and Hance drop the hammer. Lawsuit.

Well what I still don't know is if there are any more James kids, or if we have to wait for Adam to sire an heir so we can see what kind of havoc he can wreak. I'd love to see one go to Baylor, it would be like beating a dead horse!

Wikipedia says Craig James and his wife have four children. Their ages are not listed.
