Everyone is out to get me!!! Read Below Bitch

How many times have you seen a coach during a press conference look like a man about to pass a kidney stone when asked about the officials, knowing he “can’t” comment on it? How many times, in your eyes at least, has your crappy team been the subject of an conspiracy of the officials? My team hasn’t, they suck. Well, according to the Texas Tech head coach, Mike Leach, you can think and say it. Fight the power coach!!!

Mike “Fuck the officials” Leach ripped into the officials that “the man” assigned to work the game between Texas Tech and Texas last Saturday. Though he didn’t call any official out by name, he made a reference to Randy Christal who live in Austin by stating:

“I think it’s disturbing that Austin residents are involved in this. People work too hard, too long, there’s too much money invested in these games to allow that,” Leach said.

“Am I condemning the crew? Hell yeah, I’m condemning the crew,” Leach said.”

Mike “I am 40 I’m a man!” Gundy better watch out. The Big Twelve has a new renegade coach that appeals to every coach who has been to much of a wuss to speak out. Lead the way coach!

Of course the Big 12 spokes people were to busy cowering in fear of the awesomeness that is Mike Leach to return any telephone messages. They were probably to busy sobbing while being holed up in some bomb shelter in Kansas. However more likely than not, after a heavy drinking binge, they will muster up some liquid courage and fine him.

The fact that the game officials disallowed 2 Texas Tech TD’s, is what spurred this verbal slaughter of Mike Leach.

“Unless this can change, the Big 12 Conference needs to take a serious look at having out of conference officials officiate the Texas Tech-Texas games and perhaps other games where there is proven to be a bias by officiating,” he said. “It’s unfortunate and does the bowl picture enter into it? I don’t know. Does the money enter into it? I don’t know.”

Come on Coach Leach you know, share it with the world. Just don’t mention the fact that one of the TD’s you’re upset about clearly hit the ground during replay, cause then people might not be gun-ho to follow you.

“It may be incompetence, bias, I don’t know. Maybe it’s something as simple as guys sitting over the water cooler at their office in Austin talking about how the great game they’re going to see — and then perhaps a preconceived notion develops as to how it’s going to come out,” he said.

Asked if expects to be punished by the league for his remarks, Leach said, “I expect to be coaching. I don’t know what will happen but I’m not standing for this.”

Sweet use of the conspiracy innuendo there. Oliver Stone should do a movie about the great official cover-up that is occurring within the Big 12. Horatio Sands can play Leach while Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller play the officials. The evil Big 12 commissioner can be played by Jack Nicholson.

Leach is so adamant about this, that on Monday he basically refuses to apologize.

“There’s a certain amount being taken out of context but the full context of what I said, yeah,” Leach said. “I think it speaks for itself.”

I’ve always said that “the man” has been keeping Texas Tech football down. I wonder if Bobby Knight is on board about this as well.

“He qualified some of his responses Monday, emphasizing he wasn’t commenting again on officiating. One reporter asked if he would prefer there be no replay.

“I’d almost need an attorney to figure out whether I’m supposed to answer that or not,” Leach said. “Suffice it to say, referring to nothing even remotely related to officiating, I think as far as how we do instant replay maybe ought to be looked at, maybe other systems looked at.”

All in all sometimes officials make bad calls, unless their SEC refs, because SEC refs seriously suck. However, to claim that there might be some conspiracy going on is rather foolish. Texas Tech is a high powered offense, with no defense, much like a Big East team. They just ran into a better offense last Saturday. I still might write a screen play about this and discreetly slide it under a bathroom stall while Oliver Stone is taking a dump in Spago. You just never know what it could lead to.

So I profess on this day 11/13/07
