I love Mike Leach, and this program.  But he is at fault as well.  Mike had an out, and he refused to comply with an order from his bosses, then sued them.  Those actions would get all of us fired. As angry as I am at the administration over their handling of this mess, and as much as I believe Adam James probably does have work ethic issues, Mike handled this the wrong way.  When they gave him an out, he escalated the situation. Ego is a dangerous thing when unchecked.  Thanks for everything, Mike.  I wish you the best.

ESPN article

Crazy, but true.  We are not out of this.  If someone would have told you at the beginning of the year that if we beat Baylor, and OSU beats OU at home, we're in the Big 12 championship game, would you believe it?  Tech stumbled against  a good team at their place, but that doesn't take away from the body of work.  If they pull it together, and get a little more luck from the football Gods, they may just get a mulligan.

The BCS guru at ESPN sums it up.

I believe, baby.  I believe.  You have to as well.

Was that the same Nebraska team that played Mizzou last week?  The Nebraska coaching staff had an excellent game plan, and the Husker offense executed it to perfection.  Raider fans have seen teams milk the clock AND score points while in the process keeping the ball away from our offense for years.  An absolute nightmare to watch as a Tech fan....happy to get the win, but definitely feel fortunate, as Tech beat a good football team with tons of upside.  Good luck the rest of the year.
