FROM BUZZMASTER'S DESK
And the count down continues as we are just one day away from turning the calendar to 2010. On a not so good note, Mike Leach will start the new year off unemployed as Texas Tech fired him two days after they suspended him. Bobby Bowden runs his last practice as head coach of Florida State. Oh yeah, we know how much you LOVE SportsNation TV but Michelle and Colin will be on hiatus until Jan. 4. However, you can still send in your Weird Web Stories!
OVERHEARD
“Hi Mel, Have a happy new year. With Tech firing Mike Leach, what effect do you think it will have on players deciding to stay at tech next year or going pro?
” -- John (Texas)
“Interesting question. It seems like he's had support from the players in this situation. It's unfortunate. He did a great job at Tech. It's a bizarre situation. I never remember any problems with him there. All he does as win and produce staggering offenses. This is a shock to me, to see it unfold so quickly. I don't get it. All the facts aren't in yet, but something doesn't seem right to me. This is bizarre, to say the least. All I can say is that he's a great football coach and gave Texas Tech some phenomenal seasons, putting them on the map. They have some guys playing in the NFL who have done a great job. It can't be good for them going against Michigan St. These are Mike Leach's guys. This is a huge distraction and can't be good short- or long-term. This is not an historical power. It's got to be a huge shock for the Red Raiders. I've seen a lot of crazy things in my years covering the game, but this is bizarre to say the least.
