Mike Leach will not be seeing heaven (nor will pretty much any football coach) but the sport is less entertaining without him. Harrell2Crabtree to beat Texas is one of my favorite college football games as a neutral observer.

In non Mike Leach news, Grayson McCall hit the transfer portal. Only arguably the best player in the Group of 5.

Early speculation lands him at Auburn.

Well that'd unfortunate. I see one of the other names mentioned as an early rumour is reuniting at Liberty with Chadwell. That would be grim, good things shouldn't be allowed at Liberty

Technically, The Rock was the first civilian to know about that. It was just relayed to Cena, possibly from The Rock.

Look, at the time, there was no better person to be the first to publicly announce it to the American People.

Yeah me too. This is pretty much exactly what happened with my dad a few years ago. That 10-15 minutes before Leach received medical attention after he had his heart attack that was thrown out there to means he is likely brain dead and they are just waiting for his body to give up. It's really one of the worst things anybody should ever have to deal with and my heart goes out to his friends and family.

My Dad, too. He was the same age as Leach and it was this time of year as well.

On top of that, we went to a bunch of (post-Mumme/Leach) Valdosta State games. The Air Raid had grown from being Mumme's gimmick to VSU's full-fledged thing. The coach who came after Mumme didn't do Air Raid and people were upset to the point that VSU made it priority to get Chris Hatcher off Mumme's staff. After Mumme was canned at Kentucky, they'd gotten Dusty Bonner back home as a transfer and he absolutely lit it up.

Crazy enough today, Georgia Tech hired Buster Faulkner as OC. Mumme and Leach coached Hatcher and Hatcher coached Faulkner. So it's kind of a grandchild of the Mumme/Leach coaching tree.

Given the Rock can't shut the gently caress about literally anything he is doing, I think it's safe to say he wasn't on the op.

Obama is in Joe Biden's phone as "B Rock" and the Rock is in there as "Da Rock" and, well, mistakes were made.

Terry Hoeppner was the Indiana coach who died. He only coached at IU for two years, and they weren't even spectacular seasons, but he was really positive and instilled a lot of hope in the program. He died of a brain tumor before his third season. They finally went to a bowl game that year :gbsmith:

Yeah that's exactly how I / my feed basically feels. College football is automatically less interesting without him in it.
