Naw it will be cool IMO, the conference is too boring.

Now Leach at LSU would maybe be a little too scary because LSU is just too talented on average to deal with them having a Big 12 offense.

I just checked; Wazzu and Texas Tech's five year recruiting rankings are 49 and 50, respectively.

Tennessee's is 15.

Leach is not a recruiter and doesn't care that much, but if he had a top 30 class, yikes.

Recruiting to Lubbock or the Palouse is probably very different than to Knoxville but I think the bigger factor is his system.

It can't be any worse than coining the phrase "champions of life" or bringing a trash can with the team number on it onto the field.

I don't give enough of a drat about the gators outside of when they play FSU to root against them. I'm not a florida native so I have no natural hate against them.

I've disliked Bama since that last second field goal won the cotton bowl against tech in 06. I was at the game and it sparked my hate for bama that has grown significantly since moving to the deep south.

I'm a Pitt fan so I know that nothing matters and we all just live and die over and over to no discernable end.

That being said, I am fully in favor of Pirate King Mike Leach to the SEC, it'll be hilarious whether he goes 0-12, 12-0, or anything in between.

Leach has been asked for dinner date recommendations for Lubbock and Pullman, which took him ~10 minutes per city to compare the decent places.

Can you imagine how long it will take for Knoxville if he's had a bit of time to understand it?

Give us Leach. Not to poopoo hiring him, but a friend and I were discussing Leach and he felt like Leach would probably top out as 3rd best in the East. I’m inclined to disagree with that take on the basis we get lined up with a solid DC.

The air raid is supposed to make it easy on QBs, but Tennessee's current quarterbacks would really test that theory.
