Leach to Tech: suck it
The Lubbock Pirate just stared down Texas Tech and AD Gerald Myers while patting his inner thigh and pointing toward his cutlass.
Doesn't anybody ever knock?!?
This is one of the best off-season trainwreck stories I’ve seen since Dave Bliss took a dump all over Baylor.
Apparently, one of Leach’s hangups has nothing to do with money, as you might suspect. Some guys at the Sporting News say he was pissed that Bobby Knight got his parking spot:

Here’s more background: A close friend of Leach told me a story last fall that sums up the situation. When Bob Knight arrived at Tech in 2001 to coach basketball, Myers gave Knight Leach’s university parking spot.
Even though Leach was given another spot in the same lot, the move didn’t sit well. For the rest of the semester, Leach parked in a commuter lot and walked to work.
Looks like Leach is primarily objecting to no-interview clause, which says Myers will extort him for $1.5 mil if he decides to interview elsewhere. That’s merely doing what all most some men do when they’re getting bored in a relationship and don’t feel like they’re being respected: they try to trade up.

“I don’t have to have hall passes on this one,” Leach said.
Scipio over at Barking Carnival says Leach is the Sand Aggies’ boob job and now they need to pay for it. Actually in Lubbock, I guess 76 wins in 9 years does qualify as a cosmetic enhancement since Leach got the school some sweet and tender love from 60 Minutes and 2nd-tier bowls (the Holiday Bowl is their booty call).
The two sides will meet again Friday. Leach could be gone by Saturday.
Get’cher popcorn, folks.
