((HT: KCBD-TV Lubbock))
The HQ grants ESPN analyst Bob Davie for the line of the weekend:
He claimed that, with everything going on in a very hectic week in Texas Tech football history, that Interim Head Coach Ruffin McNeill was going "95 miles an hour through a school zone all week long" having to prepare for the Alamo Bowl contest with Michigan State.
Ruffin's Red Raiders survived their audition 41-31 as they had to go for the win with a substitute QB when Taylor Potts went down with an injury to his non-throwing hand.
The HQ would like to think that McNeill passed his audition and find it somewhat ironic that the game was held at the Alamodome...
Think about it...
We also think that McNeill will, probably, end up as the new head coach for the red Raiders. Tommy Tuberville has lobbied long and hard for the gig- thinking he'll elevate the program from the point that Mike Leach has taken it.
But consider the amount of the settlement that the university will be handing out to Leach in lieu of a lawsuit from the expatriated pirate, and we think McNeill will be "economically feasible."
Shall we say...
We're skipping highlights from the game to show you the new revelations in Leach's case- as presented by the university's point-of-view. Five pages of documents and affidavits have been sent out from the Red Raiders team physician, Dr. Michael Phy, and the head football trainer, Steve Pincock, detailing the James diagnosis and the subsequent reaction of Leach at the mid-December practice.
KCBD's Tiffany Pelt has the breakdown...
Here's Phy's affidavit... and here's Pincock's affidavit...
Both Phy and Pincock are pretty disappointed in Leach's actions, and the old coach still shows no bit of remorse in the handling of the James issue.
The investigating attorney, apparently, when asking Leach about trying to make sure the only way James can find his ass is to reach around for it... allegedly... found Leach's response to be:
"If I didn't say it I wish I had."
It's stuff like that that'll keep Leach from getting a bigger settlement than he wants... bank on that...
