Read the article. It's tounge-in-cheek praise.

That's not the point. We can "not care, " all we want to.

The point is, for the last four years, we've played in them and been irrelevant nationally during bowl season.

Be nice if ole Les changed that pretty soon.

Seems like good-natured, self deprecating praise for LF7.

I'll allow it.

That was terrible. Wasn't even good hate. It was lukewarm hate.

it's not a personal thing. the article admits he's the real deal.


My takeaway is they writer has a healthy respect for a player that almost by himself made their defense look bad.

That was actually a good read...props to Leonard and a little jab at aggy because they received some undeserved bowl promotion.

The main reason Tech looked so bad is because a poor run defense was facing a very good offensive line. They would have looked very bad if Guice or Williams had been the back. Hell, they would have looked bad if Tech's fourth string back had gotten the LSU carries.

Fournett made it worse, but backs don't do anything "almost by themselves". If that was the case Fournette would have just run roughshod over Bama.

My fiance went to Texas Tech, she was a big LSU fan, because of me, until that game.

If someone asked me who we played in a bowl last year it might have taken some time to remember. Their quarterback was great, their defense was shite. Good game.

#1 on Texas Tech's list should be Craig James for leading the charge to have Mike Leach removed...

That's probably one of the weirdest things I've read recently.
