Now Texas Tech is trying to blame Craig James for the whole thing....and they're trying to keep a lot of e-mails and phone calls a secret from the public. http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/is-tx-tech-throwing-craig-james-under-the-bus-28033 |

The Texas Tech screw up is getting funnier by the day. TT wanted to rid itself of Mike Leach for some time and jumped on the first thing that they felt hat they could use to sever their ties with him. Now, they want to make James the goat. Sounds like TT is hiding some information and keeping witnesses quiet by hiding them in a utility closet near the practice field. |

I've coached a lot of kids and the LEAST favorite part of the process is dealing with some parents. This was on a recreation level....I can't imagine how much fun it is at the college level...... |

I finally got a chance to read the linked article. I don't get how Craig James supposedly has such influence over the powers that be at Texas Tech. I mean at the end of the day James didn't fire Leach so I'm not sure why they want James on the hot seat, as deflecting blame here doesn't seem to really help TT's cause, except to make them look spineless. Also, no matter how big a dickweed Craig James was being, I don't understand how it should effect his job at ESPN unless James was in some way insinuating that his ties to ESPN could make it bad for TT if they didn't fire Leach. Either way, it sounds like Leach has TT by the tentacles......... Does James have younger son? If so, I wonder just how many schools are going to want him on their team???? |

My understanding is that dillweed Craig James did exactly what you suggest. I do know that there was not ONE ESPN talking head who was taking the side of Leach while ALL were saying how poor wittle Adam James was mistreated. ESPN is the Goliath of sports and when they turn on you it is bad news. And BTW, you all's buddy Poley is still posting Rat-A-Tat style every time Leach is mentioned. There isn't a topic which fires up his ass any more than this one for some odd reason. He even belittled Sangle Wangs opinion on this back in January even though SW played FB at TT and was on one of their Boards at TT as I recall. Poley didn't care- he just went after him in defending the James Clan of pussy's. |

One thing I've learned about Poley over the years....he's never wrong. I had some discussions with him regarding global warming where it was clear, he didn't have a clue what he was talking about as he was interpreting scientific data completely backwards and once he finally realized it.......he somehow was never wrong to start with. I remember one time he was convinced that we had NOT broken diplomatic ties to Syria, despite the fact that we haven't had a Syria Diplomat in years, Bush had broken off all communications with Syria and the leading scholastic authority on the subject was quoted as saying that we had broken ties.....and despite my showing him all that.....he wasn't wrong. I used to defend him quite a bit back on Area 51, but when he started questioning my intelligence it would piss me off. When he started denigrating any source I provided instead of actually rebutting the data it would piss me off. When he started acting like some sort of pompous authority on ANY topic when it was clear he was googling his ass off, it would piss me off. But what really pissed me off what when he announced that Greasy G was going to come riding into the Morass to set us all straight and tuck Poley under his skirt for protection. Poley claimed he had told us all before the War the there were no wmds (which was complete bullshit - I didn't even know who Poley or Volzzz as he called himself then was prior to the war)......but Greasy never showed and left Poley dangling and looking like a fool (that's a good thing) One day several months later, apparently in some sort of terrible fit because of his impending legal issues, in rode Greasy loaded for bear...posing innocent enough questions. When he didn't like the answers however, he started calling me a liar repeatedly and it soon became clear that he was there to do what Poley couldn't do....run us off. Then I had to read for weeks where Poley would proclaim that we all had sand in our pussies (his quote, not mine) because we left, when in fact once the banning threats started being thrown out there, there was no point in staying. I would be fascinated to meet Poley in person...I have this mental image that can't possibly be right. I have this image of somebody about three hundred pounds wearing polyester pants pulled up over his belly who either lives by himself or with a man of equal girth and fashion awareness......but I could be wrong.......

Oh, those mental pictures.............. Now that is some funny stuff. And staying on topic I hope Leach takes them to the cleaners. Tech trying to involve James in the firing process will work against them in a court of law. |

Bingo- I just went after him the other day for his Pompous "I am never ever wrong" posting style. He also claims he is above the fray on any name calling but in about every other post he makes some snide comment like "it says a lot about you and your hate that you feel that way". It is classic Leftist attack style- attack the person arguing with you and make fun of all their sources. Just the other day he acted all pompous because he had pulled a COMMENT to a Boortz article as his rebuttle!!! Boortz was talking about Tax rates in 11-15 USA states being as high as any country in the entire world. Poley's retort was to pull a comment from a reader below Boortz's article that disagreed with Boortz. Poley acted like this comment was the be all and end all of the discussion and PROOF that he was right. I remember Sangle Wang almost begging Poley to just shut the hell up about something he knew nothing about in the Leach deal. This just poured fuel on the Poley fire and got him to attack Leach even more. It never says much about anyone where they will throw away all facts thrown at them and any inside info on a situation- just so you can never back down and admit you were wrong. Notice when Poley starts to get proven wrong- he will ALWAYS attack the poster or their source of info. Put you on the defensive so he doesn't have to admit he was dead wrong. He is almost as bad as RoadKill on egging people on in order to get them banned it seems. |
