It’s a dumb move by a smart coach in the wrong era
It’s a dumb move by a smart coach in the wrong era A college football coach can’t do what Mike Leach did to Adam James and get away with it. Not if the player and his family don’t allow it. Not in 2009. Did Leach miss the announcement about the new millennium? Leach picked on…

Power keeps college coaches in the dark
Power keeps college coaches in the dark Lord John Dalberg-Acton could have been referring to college coaches when he wrote: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” The men who steer the big-business football and basketball programs are the giants of college campuses, usually untouchable so long as they win and fill the…

Mike Leach-Texas Tech saga may not end well
Mike Leach-Texas Tech saga may not end well Unlike Urban Meyer, Mike Leach’s absence will almost certainly last more than one day barring legal action – and maybe much, much longer. As details continued to emerge Monday afternoon in the wake of Texas Tech’s decision to suspend Leach indefinitely, the possibility arose that this will…

Bizarre Bowl belongs in New Orleans
Bizarre Bowl belongs in New Orleans NEW ORLEANS — Where else would you hold the Bizarre Bowl? In a city that never sleeps. Where men dress up as women. Where women show off their assets to get cheap beads. Where the gastronomic goal seems to be to set your intestines on fire. Where you can…
