Not sure if it was already mentioned in this thread or the MSB thread, but state’s bowl game is in Raymond James… where there is an actual pirate ship. Damn

That was one of the first things that was mentioned after the game was announced. State came out this afternoon to say they'll still play. I would be shocked if the committee didn't indicate that honoring Leach would be at the center of the game. They should already be adapting the State pirate flag for the ship in Tampa. I'm sure there's plenty of ways they could take the flag down after the game, cut it up, and donate sales towards the causes he supported.

I'll be shocked if they don't wear the B-B-B combination from Leach's first year at State.

A maroon pirate logo on the black matte helmet would be great.

Whatever they do to honor him at the stadium, I expect Will Rogers to go off and Illinois to get their asses handed to them. Will has been in the system long enough that I suspect he'll have a ton of input during the game (just look at past Leach QBs becoming OCs & HCs).
