    “The SEC isn’t scared of a team that goes 5-7 in the Big 12,” the legendary coach told the fan.

    Going to be fun playing in a conference with Mike Leach again.

    Worth Watching

    Mike Leach is a good interview. What he lacks in polish he makes up in wit.

    Until we have a couple 10 win seasons recruiting doesnt matter. 5 of the last 6 classes have been top 10. Coaching has to be better.

    2002 cost us the conference and 2008 cost us both the conference and a shot at the national championship. If those were the only two feathers in my "spoiler-team" cap, they're pretty heavy ones.

    He is just inciting his fans.
    He does not care what the rest of the conference thinks.

    Do y'all know this was a paid roast for someone else that included Texas? Recently it's a common thing for celebrities to make a video for someone else for a couple hundred dollars. Leach did this because an OU guy paid him to roast a friend who is a UT fan.

    If you hear the audio the guy being roasted has never seen Texas win a game in person and has lost ever single time. Leach told the guy he has a personal invite to every Texas vs Miss State game because they need all the help they can to beat Texas once they come to the SEC.

    Anyway, there's a bigger storyline than just Leach deciding to bag on Texas.

    Funny, but hey, no one is scared of Texas anymore. With good reason.

    You bet. I will also throw out Mike Leach doesn't need $150 (which is what he got to do this) so I'm guessing he took this prime opportunity to take a jab at Texas with a good excuse for doing it. Leach reminds me a little of Spurrier who never missed an opportunity to take a jab at another coach or team.

    Japan wasn't too worried about the US after Pearl Harbor. Realistically, he isn't wrong. There are currently tougher dragons to slay in the SEC than Texas. But Texas has been a sleeping giant, that may finally be awakening. It won't happen over night, but Sark and company could build something special here. We have to wait and see.

    No need to be scared of Texas at this point in time. Leach would be wetting his pants if this was the 2000s.

    Screw him. Sure, they beat us in 2008 and then go to Norman and get absolutely embarrassed by the paper clips. And, the 2008 game, in the hostile environment, should have been a 4 TD win for those morons seeing as how Texas shot itself in the foot as much as it could in the first half. He's a crappy coach. They should not have had to rely on the miracle last second TD to win that game.

    Now, if this was a "joke", fine. But, it just points to his overall buffoonery to do something like this. I don't think he's funny. He sounds drunk every time I hear him speak.

    I think a better question to any coach (except Mack Brown) is "are you afraid of any teams?". Really just stupid coach speak to say we ain't afraid of you. Leach poked TTU about the money they screwed him out of. was really funny and arguably correct, then got his aZZ kicked.

    WorsterMan SEC here we come!!

    The Pirate is an interesting, educated man that passed law school, IIRC.

    When he speaks to a sports reporter, the sports media or major sports cable entities, he is a combination of eclectic HC, a bit flamboyant, a witty comic who sometimes gets over his skis.

    I like him but I always take him with a bit of salt, and so should we.

    He is a bit overrated as a coach at this point IMO. Yes he had some great teams at Texas Tech when he was the one pushing the boundaries of what a spread offense could do.
    But he hasn't done squat bin a down PAC or the SEC and now the rest of the game has caught up to him and he's not doing anything innovative at this point. Genius or one trick pony?

    He is funny and I give him that, but too much deference being given go him for being witty.

    That said he is 100% right about Texas here.

    If he got paid for that "roast" they need to get their money back
    It isn't the not afraid of Texas thing (no one here thinks the sec should be)
    It was just a weak halfhearted performance

    He is right....today.
    But no one knows what we will be in 2025+, so all talk is premature and pointless.
    Here's to hoping no one can safely say this at the conclusion of the '24 season.
