MIKE LEACH IS COOLER THAN YOU WILL EVER BE, PT. 1.
Via The Wizard of Odds and pointed out to us by SMQ…Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach, doing the weather this past April on Lubbock local television.
Quotes, unencumbered by framing from lesser minds:
“My favorite weather pattern is when it rains mud.”
“Now on Monday, it says bad stuff, serious storms, but you’re gonna be dead in a hundred years anyway. Live dangerously. I would go opposite of that. That’s just too strong, too much bad weather, that thing on the screen there is just too sure of it for my tastes. Me personally? Expect sun. Don’t be a coward, stay out in it and enjoy it, and if you run into the bad stuff don’t let it ruin your day.”
“I actually look forward to hail.”
Somehow, we knew all of this was true before he ever said it.

Methinks your SMQ link up there is faulty. He’s now at sundaymorningqb.com I believe.

Nothing to do with this post, but news just the same. Whitlock fired from the WWL, according to his KC Star newspaper article today.
Maybe he, Mark May and Bob Davie can broadcast the next ND game together.

Does the fact that when Leach described how he checks the weather in the morning, and I automatically assumed he probably does it naked, mean there’s something wrong with me…?

Mike Leach is like Satan, only with a slightly more gimmicky offense than that “fire and brimstone” crap.

He gives every lawyer the hope that they can give up their day job to run a hokey offense in the Big 12. Thank you, Mike Leach.

Close you eyes when you play this. I could swear that Mike Leach and Bob Knight are brothers.
Raining mud, that has to be a sight.

Is the video quality poor or is that a thick layer of sarcasm dripping down the camera lens?

That’s one wierd dude, but I’ve actually seen it rain mud before. Some freak dust storm in Oklahoma migrated north and it hit Nebraska the same day a storm system came through. My white car was brown after that.
At least, I’m pretty sure that wasn’t remnants of the shitstorm from when Adrian Peterson borrowed a Lexus from Big Red Sports And Imports.

I’ve been to Lubbock (only once, thank God) and it did rain mud while I was there. A big dust storm (it’s like being on Mars, I suppose) met a big thunderstorm, and the raindrops picked up the dust on the way down. It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.

I’ve seen it rain mud as well. Dust Storm in Aridzona followed by rain = raining mud.
I’ve also seen it rain men, but I was stoned, high, and in the wrong section of town. I’m also going to fire my hypnotist because that memory was supposed to be permanently suppressed.

For some strange reason I find this so freaking entertaining. No human being on earth could be that weird…it’s just not possible.
“I look forward to hail”…Leach is the next daVinci.

Yea, a gimmicky offense that was one last second FG away from beating ‘bama last year.
anyways, back to the intended point of my post, I give to you Leach on A&M’s Corps of Cadets:
As his team raced onto the field, he gazed into the stands filled with screaming fans and wondered about the several thousand “cadets” from Texas A.&M. clustered in one end zone. They wear military uniforms and buzz cuts, holler in unison and stand at attention the entire game. “How come they get to pretend they are soldiers?” he asked. “The thing is, they aren’t actually in the military. I ought to have Mike’s Pirate School. The freshmen, all they get is the bandanna. When you’re a senior, you get the sword and skull and crossbones. For homework, we’ll work pirate maneuvers and stuff like that.”
The story also mentioned that the wife of an A&M assistant coach created a scene in the Jones AT&T Stadium skyboxes after Tech’s victory, saying that she would rather live in College Station than Lubbock.
“First of all, we just beat them, 56-17,” Leach said in the article. “By all rights, she should now be a Red Raider slave.”
…and for all of this Mike Leach is the greatest man in coaching.
