    Re: Mike Leach suspended from Alamo Bowl

    Who do I believe, the "pre-madonna" son or the Pirate coach?

    I've never liked Craig James and since it's his kid, I'll go with the Pirate.

    They wanted Leach to write an apology to the kid? Anyone here think that isn't Exhibit #1 in the civil suit they will inevitably be filing? If I was Counsel for Texas Tech and/or Mike Leach I couldn't in good faith actually tell him to write that letter. If Leach did what James said, but honestly believed James was faking and this was done during allotted practice time then good for him. Leach is pure bad ***.

        I guess I'm just a softy...

        You can't do what Leach did (If in fact it's proven to be true) and expect to get away with it.

        And Sting..

        I'm glad you've been spending time in closets and can speak on your personal experience with it

          Wow the more this story develops the more it looks like a whiny kid who wanted out anyway and a butthurt administration going after a coach for for exploring other jobs and using them as leverage.

            Fact of the matter is this: anytime you even think a kid has a head injury, you refer him to a trainer and step back.
            "Maybe I can't win. But to beat me, he's going to have to kill me. And to kill me, he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me. And to do that, he's got to be willing to die himself. I don't know if he's ready to do that."

                OTL says TxT is going to use this to fire Leach for "just cause" w/in 2 days.

                  Former players have said that James the player is a prima donna and known to be soft. While his father has been called a helicopter father.

                  Great article about how Leach is handling it.

                    from what I heard/read, Adam was not place alone or locked into any room. he was place in a dark room to help his concussion along with trainers to watch over him. the team doctor supposedly said that it even helped Adam's condition or at the very least that it did not put him in any danger.

                      I'm not taking sides, but how credible is the doc? Whose employ is he under? If he was the doc in charge, what kind of trouble would he be in if he knew this went on as some kind of punishment & he stood idly by?

                        quote:
                        You people will never know the full story. You will also never know what it is really like out there on the field. As a red shirt TTU football player let me say this. Coach Leach is in the right. Adam has been nothing but a pain all season. We all know who his dad is and are reminded of it constantly. My dad is a cop. Therefore I show up to class and drive a honda. Adam has been a prima dona since training. As for the allegations. I will say this. He is not the first raider to get a concussion. I know of two good friends who have been in the same dark room. When you have your bell rung you don't want to be out on the field. You want a quiet, dark place. And..as student athletes we are required to report to practice. So, we either stay in the training room or the trainer finds a dark place for us. Adam showed up late and in shades, Coach let him know being late was not acceptable and then let Doc take care of him. Standard procedure. You people might wanna just wait until the truth comes out. Adam James will be in the wrong. Or maybe his ESPN daddy will save his butt. I know the team is behind Coach on this one.

                          Good post. Be careful though, a lot of these posters are a little on the Charmin side.

                                The doctor for the team said that what Mike Leach has done caused no further harm to the kid. In fact he said it more then likely helped him. Do not see the big deal here except a kid and his dad being primadonnas.
