  1. Get rid of this bum! Mike Leach is a joke and should never head coach again. Air Raid style offense is a joke! Wazzu should get a better coach and system in. The ground game is WHY you win games! Chucking and hoping for a miracle will get you nowhere. Name me the last team to win the national title with an Air Raid offense………. But if you dumb enough to keep Leach then I guess you don’t care about winning. Pro Style offense is the way to go. And you lost to Rutgers and Nevada two joke schools. I’m not a big Wazzu fan (I do enjoy watching Wazzu) but I would like to see them do better then UW. Sincerely a B1G Ten fan living in the PacNorwest. Go Bucky!

  2. Just read the most absurd quote from Mike Leach and figured I had to share it haha

    “I’m not really good with technology. All this button pushing and whatnot. I mean, you can just imagine based on what’s happened in the last 15 years. Conversations won’t happen 10 years from now. There aren’t going to be people to talk to, it’s going to be this (mimics pushing buttons). ‘Do you want to go out on a date with me?’ ‘I don’t know, what do you look like?’ ‘Well I look kind of like this.’ ‘OK, what are your interests?’ ‘Well, what do you think my interests are? Looking to this thing and typing into this just like yours are.’ ‘Yeah, no kidding, that’s what everybody’s doing.’ ‘Well, where do you want to go?’ ‘Well, what difference does it make? Because all we’re going to be doing is looking into machines anyways.’ Well, that’s true and in the end, it’s going to tough to perpetuate the species. There’s no question about that. So we’re all going to look in this box and eventually be extinct. That’s how it ends.”

    This guy is a genius on and off the field. I know he’s caught a bad rap but it’s hard to relate to the rest of society when you’re from another planet. Give him some slack!
