It amazes me that TT hired Bobby Knight and fired Mike Leach. WTF?

Sweet Nebraska could never beat him

lets lock Craig James' kid in a closet!

Brilliant!

Sure-Oz 12-30-2009 02:01 PM

The guy deserved to be fired for that, regardless how much of an idiot AJ is

And this is the same school that hired Bobby Knight .... :shake:

Most of those letters submitted from coaches and former team members certainly paint James as a huge problem. I don't understand why they just didn't kick him off the team and take away his scholarship.

On the other hand, some of those letters may have upset the school administration even more because it talked about "punishing" players for a lack of effort. Not the best word to use. Way too similar to hazing.

In any case putting a kid in a darkened shed was pretty dumb.

I wasn't aware that Bobby Knight stuck his players in dark locked rooms for hours on end while under guard.

Enlighten me.

I'm sure Adam James was a pampered little ****...no question about that.

Exactly. Whatever else Leach might have on his side is trumped by this one idiotic, inforgivable action.

Knight favored choking over mental abuse.

Interesting plays on words:

Light of day: which you don't want to see with a concussion.

Hush-deal: NCAA "Death Penalty" SMU team, on which Craig James had played.

Leach is going to be a rich man after his lawyers feed on TT.

Personally, I'd take that over mental abuse.

At least I can fight back if someone tries to punch or choke me.

Locked in a dark room under guard?

That is ****ED UP.

It is clear you are a Leach supporter.
If you think TT doesn't have access to attorney fire-power equal to or greater than Leach think again. These actions aren't taken by TT they are taken by the TT attorneys.
Leach may come out with some money but IMHO it will be less than the value of his contract including the $800k he was due tomorrow.
