Well the media seems to have doubled down and critiquing Leach's post game comments.Quote:

This shit is becoming unbearable. It was a damn fight. They happen all the time in all sports. What this is is nothing more than a bunch of people that hate the SEC and MSU and don't think we should have been in a bowl game. The same ass hats that said we should have taken our hat in hand and given Army our spot begging forgiveness the whole time we were selected and not them. They want a another reason to hate us and this fight just gave them one. Then you have dickheads like Horka who is pried off his mama's tit long enough to write a hit piece with incorrect information that just flames it up all the more. 17 em all with a jackhammer.
I think we should turn it back on ESPN. They don’t seem to have this many issues when hockey or MLB teams get in brawls? In fact, they play it and laugh about it. What is it about college football players that has them so worked up, I wonder?
There's a certain quality that applies to most college football players that does not apply to very many MLB players and virtually no NHL players. Hmmm...Quote:

Yes, exactly. It's as if they're (media/SEC officials/take your pick) accustomed to certain institutions just rolling over and acting like a puppy that keeps coming back for more abuse. They'll keep playing their role and won't change until we say "no more. You better someone else to beat on." Meanwhile, anytime one of their treasured moneymakers and fortune builders handle a matter "internally," they get characterized as paragons of virtue and grace.Quote:

I wish y'all would Man Up and stop watching sports!! That would show them! C'mon do it!!Quote:

It's little different than your coming on here. But you know that already. We, us, they whatever get something we value or appreciate from the experience despite all the BS.Quote:

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy started his demise with a stupid polo shirt he wore at a practice. That act will impact him during his remaining career.Quote:

As far as giving ole miss the upper hand, I wouldn't worry about that. They have a coach on staff who killed a kid in practice. A slap fight between 3 players doesn't trump that.Quote:

Because of social media, all coaches are subject to observation and consequences for anything they say especially in recruiting.Quote:

I've seen tweets from one of our recruits that has no issue with the fight. I have a feeling most recruits have no issue with it either.Quote:

I guarantee you every one of us has had thoughts at work that had we spoken out loud would have at least gotten us a reprimand and at worst fired. It's the world we live in now. Public figures like Leach are in even more of a spotlight. While he was speaking yesterday I was cringing thinking he was going to say something out of line that was going to get him in trouble and reflect on MSU. I hate it, but it is what it is. During something like that you just have to deflect it away from yourself and team by simply saying I didn't see what happened or what caused it and I'll have to talk to those involved and watch any tape of it to figure out what happened, and we certainly don't condone any type behavior such as this. That is generic and not what espn and the like are looking for so they'll look for something else to focus on. That would have taken Leach completely out of it and put the spotlight someplace else.Quote:

It's all for ratings. Leach is a nationally known personality. Who even is the Tulsa coach?Quote:

The only way something, "out of line," could not have come out of his mouth was if his lips were sewed shut, for the press was going to take whatever came out of his mouth as being out of line.Quote:

They are prepared to destroy this kids future bc it went against their G5 narrative. Sure he made a dumb decision, but as far as dumb decisions are concerned, this is minor. Perhaps one of these ESPN talking heads would like to step up and be a mentor. Use this as a teach point rather than destroying another future.
They are mad he even has a job. As it defies their authoritih from when they got him fired from Texas Tech over bullshit and media uproar.Quote:

That's all it's about, clicks and views.Quote:

That's a pretty accurate assessmentQuote:
