Tech 41, Michigan State 31

Very satisfying game. Glad to see Ruffin McNeil win it. Gutsy decisions,  going for it on fourth down several times and, especially,  switching QBs near the end.

Pflugerville’s own (Steven Sheffield) passed for the go ahead touchdown and then handed off to RB Brandon Batch for the second one.

The only problem I foresee for McNeil is his physique. He’s as fat and waddly as the fired Mark Mangino of Kansas was. But from all I’ve heard and read McNeil has no hint of the punitive “coaching” style of Mangino or the fired Mike Leach.

The pirate walks the plank

Posted on December 30, 2009 | Comments Off on The pirate walks the plank

Something tells me we’ve seen the last of Mike "The Pirate" Leach. The flamboyant lawyer-coach, whose QBs put up high-flying numbers but never seem to make it in the NFL, claims to have a doctor’s okay for making that player stand in a closet for two hours. Hardly matters that the player had a mild concussion or that his daddy is a big shot television talking head. Punitive "coaching" doesn’t sell anywhere. Not even on the High Plains. At least not when you get caught. Adios, coach.

UPDATE:  Indeed, he sued and the university fired him. No surprises here. Said Chancellor Kent Hance on ESPN: "When you sue your boss, it’s not going to turn out well." Heh.
