About us
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

Thanks for the link! I didn’t read the Sunday paper last weekend and missed this one. BTW, I think Leach may have just offered up one of the best Aggie quotes ever:

Outstanding article. I love when he says stuff like
“Our notion of balance,” Leach says, “is that the five guys who catch the ball all gain 1,000 yards in the season.”
“I’ve thought about going a whole season without calling a single running play,”
Sounds like me playing Playstation.

I like Leach a lot and really respect that he never really played football and is still having this success. That said he suffers agaisnt fast teams. Texas kicks his ass every year. They beat OU on a bad call this year and OU stinks this year.
I like his passing game and its hard to argue with the numbers, but the fact remains that to win consistently on a bigtime level you HAVE TO run the ball effectively.

Is Leach trying to combat global warming by training a new generation of Pirates?? Maybe the FSM is a Tech Fan.

I wonder if Leach hisses and melts into a puddle when he’s shown the wishbone formation? Like vampires to a cross.
Alabama’s defense is very fast. Should make for an interesting bowl game in Dallas.

Maybe coaching football like one of us plays Madden is really the way to go. I want to see what happens when a)he overshadows bobby knight (if he doesnt already) and b) how good his offense is with first-class prospects.
And a question to the football historians, when was the last time an offense really changed the game (not to assume Leach’s will)?
