I was there for ‘04 game as my first away game. Transferred to TCU 2nd semester freshman year and sat next to the then newly hired Chancellor VBO…we had a great conversation and 2 days later he had mailed me a TCU T-shirt. That was a the good part of the day.
Leaving that stadium I could have used some bodyguards.

I believe someone else on here lost a few grand to Boykin.
So disappointed in that knucklehead. He had so much talent.

That guy, sheesh. Guess maybe he needed the money for all the ramen in prison.

Looks like he’s got a release date of 5/22/2034. He’s at a low security federal prison in Texarkana.
I was there. Pretty bad day. First time many of our players saw Lubbock. That TT crowd is loud and unrelenting.

The helmets Mississippi State will wear for their bowl game.

Those are incredible.
Anyone know if you can hang a flag at the Fiesta Bowl? Someone needs to hang the Jolly Rogers flag to honor Leach.

Saw this post on Facebook.
How welcoming, how kind was Mike Leach?
Jeff Tyler of Wetumpka, AL contacted me to tell me a great story.
It’s a story that reminds us of Coach Leach’s patience, his keen memory and his interest in others.
I think you will enjoy this tale!
“Three years ago, I took my 11-year-old son to a Mississippi State game.
Jackson wanted to see pre-game warm-ups, so we were practically the first fans in the stadium.
We took our upper level seats, and my son asked if he could walk down to the field level seats to watch warm-ups, and I let him.
Well, this kid somehow managed to convince a security guard that he was supposed to be on the field.
The next thing I saw was my son walking up to Coach Leach and fist bumping him.
“The two started talking, and a few minutes later Coach Leach was calling over a couple of his players.
Now, my son was a center on his YMCA team- Coach Leach had his centers showing my son how to snap the ball!
I was in the upper deck, totally dumbfounded that an SEC coach just spent time in pre-game showing some kid he’d never met how to snap a football.
My kid comes back to our upper deck seats beaming with pride- I saw it as a memory of a lifetime.
“Two years later we went to another game- my son was again in the front row watching warm-ups.
A graduate assistant ran over and yelled, Are you Jackson?’ and my son said, ‘Yes!’
The graduate assistant said, ‘Coach Leach wants to see you,’ and he took my son out on the field.
“Coach Leach asked my son if he’d been practicing, and then made him do several snaps.
Coach told him to keep working on it, gave him a football and sent him on his way.
I was in the stands dumbfounded that a coach remembered my son’s name, remembered that day, and knew what spending five minutes of his time with a kid could mean.”
Thanks, Jeff, for this wonderful story.
I’m asking myself as I write this, “What other college football coach would do such a thing?”, and the answer is, “Pretty much none.”
If anyone wonders why Mike Leach was and is so loved, they need only listen to the story of the coach and 11-year-old Jacksonsnap.ler.
Then we will all understand…
In a snap.

I’m hearing vaccine injury but hasn’t been verified. On 61. Look at 3 young journalist die at World Cup. Ok - stay in denial.
