The East Coast actually loves Mike Leach. It's voters in this area of the country (Mack Brown, Bob Stoops, Les Miles,et al) that never give Tech any credit. That's simply because it would take away from their own programs and recruiting.

Leach has been featured in the NY Times Magazine more than once, and it good friends with Donald Trump. Tech gets plenty of love in NYC, Boston, Phillie, etc because the NYT likes to cover them.

This game is a huge hurdle for Tech. A win will mean that our program has finally arrived. Hopefully we will be in Miami on January 8th and the Big 12 will have it's 3rd national title in football.

I can't believe that no one has commented on the fact that the fire started just 8 minutes after he left the house, and he just 'happened' to take his dog with him this time. Curious.

Why won't these people just let it go? They don't give a rat's a$$ about the electric bills for people in other states. They care about lining their own pockets. Their crooked / bought politicians couldn't get the job done for them, so now they're suing. What a bunch of BS. The judge should toss it out of court. Unfortunately, they will probably win.

If John Bible or Randy Christal is reffing this game, then KU is screwed. Both of those guys have strong UT ties, yet the Big XII still allows them to ref UT games. They are part of the crew that screwed KU in 04, and they have screwed TX Tech against UT in 06 and 07.

Texas Tech went to the Gator bowl last year. Some friends of mine and I went to the Gator Bowl to watch Tech, then traveled to Miami to watch KU in the Orange Bowl. If KU goes to the Gator Bowl, I would encourage y'all to make the trip. This bowl was well organized, and we had a great time. Jacksonville was a nice city, and there was plenty to do before and after the game.

It was way more firendly and less “corporate and business like” than the Orange Bowl. It would be nice if the Big XII would get a permanent tie-in with this bowl.

Two things:

The lawsuit should never have been filed to begin with, as the woman was obviously a gold-digger.

I'm not surprised, however, that due to this being a high-profile individual the whole thing just “went away” with nothing happening.

I'm sorry but this is absolutely absurd. Comparing charitable organizations, girl scouts, etc to the bums and winos is just ridiculous. This is simply another attempt by the liberal majority in Lawrence to cater to the homeless and encourage them to come live on our streets.

The reason I say this is catering to the homeless is because the commission knows the charitable community in this town will put up a fight on this. The effort will fail because of protests from the charitable community, and therefore the bums and winos will still be allowed to beg on the streets. The homeless advocates win, again.

Maybe Checkers? I never have to worry about buying a turkey, b/c the company I work for gives every employee a turkey for Thanksgiving.

“He did wonderful things for our school, but during that era, during that time that was built, that was before we realized that imagery had a damaging effect in a lot of ways on different cultures of the world.”

Sounds like she's saying “thanks, but no thanks”. Typical ingrate.

consumer, you are right. I can picture the nuts taking to the street to protest these people. It will be very sad if they do.
