LOBO OFFER
Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach may be heading back to sidelines sooner than expected with the rumors surfacing that he'll be the new head man at the University of New Mexico.
TURN THE PAGE
The Bruce Feldman saga at ESPN has already caused quite a stir about the former Texas Tech's coach's new book and now there's even more insight as to why he was let go by the Red Raiders.
TRIAL AND ERROR
Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is trying to get the last laugh in the debacle that ended up costing him his job by suing both ESPN and Craig James' PR firm for defamation.
YOU'RE HIRED?
Forget about Jon Gruden. The Donald would like to see Mike Leach takeover at the U, so much so that he gave university president Donna Shalala a hand-written letter of recommendation.
OLD TRICKS
Busted Coverage Afternoon Dump Editor Kevin The Intern sent this one over and said, “Isn’t this on your bucket list?” A 90-year-old former Texas Tech cheerleader? You pig! Damn near just pulled the trigger and fired his ass on the spot. No reasoning, just a simple ‘Your WordPress account has been deleted’ email.

After a marginally successful 7-5 regular season finish for the Texas Longhorns in 2011, it’s easy to see the positives going forward, but weaknesses are equally as glaring.
Sure, injuries to Fozzy Whittaker and Malcolm Brown derailed what could have easily been a 9-3 regular season, but the lack of consistent production from Texas quarterbacks was believed by many to...
HEATED RIVALRY
Texas A&M's athletic director wrote on Twitter that the team's bus was vandalized in Lubbock. He paints a pretty gross picture, too.
An open request record filed by the LUBBOCK AVALANCHE-JOURNAL unearthed a bombshell involving Craig James and Texas Tech attorneys.

A LOBO'S LIFE FOR ME
Mike Leach's name has been brought up every time a job opens up in college football? Could New Mexico be his next destination of choice?
The oustanding college football writer Bruce Feldman is a great example of what can happen to an ESPN employee when they get on the wrong side of the mothership.
After working with Mike Leach on his book Swing Your Sword: Leading the Charge in Football and Life, Feldman was summarily punished by ESPN for something which they authorized.
In a bizarre situation– one covered...
KICKING THEMSELVES
And I can say that without the slightest bit of hyperbole—it wasn’t just that Baylor scored a touchdown after the Red Raiders ill-fated surprise onside kick, it was the comical way it all went down.
Nothing against the surprise onside kick mind you. When executed properly, it can totally catch the opposing team off-guard. More teams need to try it.
Just not like this...
