I will be unable to hear him from the stadium

8/17/2010 9:10:45 PM

damn we always get firsts with announcers/reporters

i think the game against south carolina was erin andrews' first game back wasn't it?

8/17/2010 9:12:40 PM

I always get him confused with Mike Gundy

for whatever reason i feel like espn wants us to be relevant in football. it seems like we've had some great opportunities over the years we just havent capitalized on them.

gameday in 04
ncsu vs vt game in 05 being the first game of the year. also being marcus vick's first start.
seemingly always having thursday night home games.
kicking off college football w/ south carolina the last two years.
two home thursday night games this year.
chickfila game next year vs tennessee

maybe i'm crazy though.

8/17/2010 9:52:24 PM

You're crazy.

^^i feel that way too. especially when amato was here. before things got really sour, they were really rooting for amato and the program it seemed.

8/17/2010 10:21:50 PM

we've got the chick fil a game vs tenn in 2 years

I've thought the same before. After 4 straight losing seasons, it's a miracle that we have not one, but two ESPN games this season. Granted they're on Thursday nights, so we're not really competing with other games, but still.

8/18/2010 9:24:51 AM

Sucks that our game vs UCF is on at the same time that Penn State plays Alabama

I'll keep my eye on the state game, but any real college football fan will have most of their attention tuned to Tuscaloosa

8/18/2010 9:31:45 AM

well yeah, that's to be expected of the general college football fan. Just like the Miami - Ohio St game will be the primetime game that same afternoon.

But if you were a real State fan, you wouldn't just have your "eye" on our game.

I'd rather watch NC State play so I am not a real college football fan. Oh noes!! I'll be checking in on the PSU-Alabama game, but damn if I am missing any plays in the State-UCF game unless it becomes a blowout.

8/18/2010 11:01:45 AM

Soooo... after last night's fantastically entertaining commentary does anyone know when the next Mike Leach game will be?

It could be the only thing (besides being in Houston with my family) that could get me to watch a C-USA game.

9/12/2010 8:04:35 AM

He's doing the State-ECU game in October.

9/12/2010 8:33:03 AM

and he's looking forward to it.

9/12/2010 8:40:04 AM

lol yup- I came in here to say that he was "excited to see how that young linebacker looks" later this season

he was a hoot

9/12/2010 9:48:40 AM

So remind me why I was supposed to watch the Al-PSU game over our game? Fucking snoozefest.

9/12/2010 10:16:24 AM

I'm looking forward to hearing him announce our ECU game and uh

9/12/2010 10:48:56 AM

seriously? he was fucking terrible. the only good part were the lol's he delivered at his own expense (hells bells, that UA shirt and tie combo, etc)

[Edited on September 12, 2010 at 11:26 AM. Reason : .]

9/12/2010 11:25:50 AM

9/12/2010 11:41:16 AM

that UA shirt was absurd. not to mention him in general.

9/12/2010 12:04:22 PM

Did someone DVR the game? We need a capture of that last farewell segment.

9/12/2010 12:24:40 PM

i only caught bits of the game in between sets at city plaza, but what i did hear from leach was fucking hilarious

i really, really like him.

9/12/2010 12:27:18 PM

Tom O'Brien has America all over that hat and it reminds me of this story about the 4th of July.

9/12/2010 12:27:59 PM

Think about who ECU's coach is and how bad the listening experience will be for us.

9/12/2010 12:28:36 PM

Well, it's not like he was all "yay State" in this game either. There were turnover plays that if you heard his commentary you wouldn't have thought anything had happened other than an incomplete pass.

Excepting, of course, his crush on Audie Cole.

9/12/2010 5:02:56 PM

I can't believe everybody enjoyed him as a commentator. I mean, he's quirky and odd and that's somewhat amusing but for such an offensive guru and pretty good coach, his commentary was awful. His "breakdown" of our 2nd touchdown was "he's over there, the cornerback is over here, something happened to make him go over here when he should be over there."

I'm a pretty big fan of Leach the coach, but I really hope he adds some actual analysis to his random musings for the future

at the end of last night's game the main commentator said the two of them were partnered up next week for a game in Dallas.

9/12/2010 7:51:02 PM

Gonna be interesting to hear him comment on how Riley has tweaked his Air-Raid offense into the ARRRRRRR-Raid offense.

Basically his entire former staff and some former players comprise ECU's new staff.


"And uhhhh..."

9/12/2010 7:56:46 PM

Leachisms, for future reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mPnzXTxCWE&hd=1

9/12/2010 8:53:20 PM

LOL great video

9/12/2010 8:55:15 PM

^^ nicely done.

love the comment about using timeouts, and the ending. this stuff was even funnier on the repeat.

9/12/2010 9:18:50 PM

great job! was the part about meat and potatoes in there?

9/12/2010 9:38:09 PM

ah i must have missed that one. by the middle of the 3rd quarter i was only following along matching the timestamps from the game thread to the game video, it was too late for me to watch the whole thing

9/12/2010 9:38:59 PM

Meat and potatoes was during ucfs last drive

9/12/2010 9:41:44 PM

at one point he referred to UCF as "we" then corrected himself

he was like "we need to .. ucf needs to blah blah"

9/12/2010 9:46:49 PM

Really nice job, I liked the little text touches here and there, almost all of the Leachisms, and the HD quality is really good.

I think the only significant one I missed was the "Look at that catch! He catches it with his hands. Look at him catch it with his hands!" one, but most of it is gold.

9/12/2010 10:05:21 PM

thanks, this is excellent. I didn't get to watch the game, but now I feel like I caught up with all the stuff from the game thread....

i'm hoping Leach is coaching at CU next season, not producing more Leachisms....

actually, i didn't know he was doing the game, he sounds like Dennis Hopper after he's smoked a pound of pot.

however, he was actually pretty insightful during the game. He was explaining how our defense could be neutralized by running receivers at certain angles, stuff i had never heard before at least, maybe he was making it up.

9/13/2010 12:32:46 AM

Well you're getting a little love already from Joe Ovies, of course no credit is given.

Maybe a part two with the 4 or so left out.

You've never heard of a slant route?

9/13/2010 2:29:13 PM

I got him to retweet me, good enough for me

ive heard of it but he explained in a fairly concise way what it does. I never played organize football beyond middle school and of all the football ive seen (which is tons) ive rarely ever heard "analysts" discuss anything i thought was all insightful

9/13/2010 11:34:17 PM

imagine if hank hill huffed a bunch of paint and called a football game

9/14/2010 12:18:39 AM

This is a game played by people.

9/14/2010 12:37:08 AM
