Retiring Michael Crabtree's jersey number is the right thing to do

It is time for Tech to thank Crabtree by giving him the highest honor that an athletic program can give a former player - retire his jersey.

What do you think? Should we honor Crab before Thomas and Welker or all three...none...someone else?

NFL draft: Searching for 'The Next Tom Brady'

Graham Harrell, Texas Tech

Why he'll stay on the board: He has average arm strength and lacks a big frame. It's tough to tell whether he can improve his arm strength, like Brady could and Ken Dorsey couldn't. After playing in shotgun at Tech, he struggled with dropback footwork in workouts.

Why he should come off it: Like Brady, he is accurate and polished in the pocket and possesses every intangible such as how to attack defenses.

Draft forecast: Round 6 or 7.

Part of the agents’ Dec. 16 counter-proposal to Tech’s offer was for Leach to become athletic director for football and report directly to the chancellor. The A-J reported that Saturday.

The new correspondence shows Baldwin also included Leach’s desire for more say-so in the Dec. 5 e-mail to Bailey. He told the president, "Mike would like to have more control and authority over the football program, including managing the budget and scheduling.’’

Any comments on this part of the article? I would love to have leach as the AD.
