somehow I doubt this is the real bleed.....

either lebomb, roadies or tony........I think it's 50-50 between tony or lebomb.........my coin says tlfan.....

too much.

Actually I think it is him. I know lebomb and tlfan are usually not dumb ass posters (well they have thier moments when it comes to UTSA). Roadies and bleed were nothing but garbage from the moment they signed on.

[lebomb]

I'm not sure what is in the UTSA water. I usually like lebomb as a poster and now he's going to pull this?

I've stayed out of it but this is getting beyond ridiculous now. UTSA fanbase is way out of line. They have such an inferiority complex that it's impossible for any type of civil conversation between UTSA fanbase and the outside world. It's just not going to happen.

And really, Kori was being nice about that 95% number. I think it's closer to 99%. A re ed amoeba could get accepted into UTSA with their current admissions policy. Has anyone heard of someone getting rejected by UTSA? I've never heard of that and I know someone who was turned down by SAC. UTSA is basically a giant community college. In fact, I never knew there was anyone proud of its sports programs until I saw a couple pop up on SpursTalk.

So yeah, if UTSA fan wants to fight fire with fire, let's go. I've sat idly long enough. You gonna call out the wife, you better get ready to defend that embarrassment of a so-called university that further makes San Antonio look like an uneducated cow town. As a neutral observer who doesn't give a fvck about any college, UTSA is a joke and the UTSA fanbase on SpursTalk is somehow turning into an even bigger joke.

Either grow the F up, stop talking UTSA sports or settle down and try to act like fans of a school that has an actual admissions process. I give UT fans a lot of ish but I've never seen them act like a bunch of sissies like the UTSA fanbase following the birth of their football team.

F UTSA and F the UTSA fanbase if they can't get their mind right.

Texas Tech's 5 p.m. deadline Tuesday given to football coach Mike Leach to sign its latest contract extension offer came and went with still no resolution.

"Coach Leach has declined our $12.7 million contract," Tech athletic director Gerald Myers said in a statement Tuesday. "We will enter the decision-making process and should have some announcements by next week. Our decisions will be based on the best interest of Texas Tech and all of its supporters."

The Texas Tech Board of Regents, however, announced Tuesday a "special called teleconference meeting" from 2 to 3 p.m. Friday, when in executive session, they will have a "discussion and consideration of matters ... including but not limited to the position of the football head coach."

In a phone interview Tuesday evening, Leach was asked if he was worried about being fired.

"Not really," Leach said. "We have an agreement both parties signed. We agreed to do two more years, and I don't see how that could be unsatisfactory to anybody. Why anybody would have a problem with two years left on my contract, I don't know."

He admitted disappointment with the events that have led to this point.

"Yeah, me and a lot of people are," Leach said.

About 40 people showed up at a rally on Leach's behalf just before noon Tuesday at the school's football offices in Lubbock to show their support. Leach, who returned to Lubbock late Monday after attending a rugby match in Wales on Saturday and the Daytona 500 on Sunday, briefly addressed the crowd, many of whom were students holding signs.

Tech chancellor Kent Hance said last week that if Leach didn't sign before the Tech-imposed deadline, then the coach would continue to operate under his contract that runs through 2010.

He is due to be paid $2.65 million next season and $2.35 million in 2010, which includes an $800,000 contract completion bonus at the end of 2009 and another completion bonus of $200,000 at the end of 2010.

Tech has the right to terminate Leach's current contract "without cause at any time and for any reason." Tech would, however, then have to pay Leach "liquidated damages" in an amount equal to 40 percent of the remaining guaranteed compensation and benefits. Since Leach is owed a guaranteed $4 million left on his contract, Tech could terminate him without cause and owe him $1.6 million.

Hance, who was in Austin on Tuesday and could not be reached for comment, has said that Tech possibly could make another run at extending Leach's contract after next season.

Tech officials and Leach's International Marketing Group agents, Gary O'Hagan and Matt Baldwin, have agreed in principle on compensation terms of $12.7 million over five years. However, negotiations have unraveled since Tech added four provisions Jan. 9.

The four points involve the guaranteed termination compensation Leach would receive if fired, the buyout amount he would pay if he left early, a penalty for interviewing for another job without permission and who controls Leach's personal property rights.

After 10 months of fruitless negotiations, Leach effectively enters the realm of a lame duck coach with a cloud of uncertainty hanging over his head.

Tech's Junior Day, when many of the state's top high school junior football recruits will be on campus, is a few weeks away. With Leach's future filled with insecurity, the Red Raiders' 2010 recruiting class could certainly take a hit.

All this comes after Leach led Tech to its best regular season in school history and an 11-2 record last year.

"If this doesn't come out favorably, which is mind-boggling because where did I fall short ... ," Leach said. "My only concern right now is coaching this team."

Gerald Myers and the rest of the Board of Regents are flat out idiots.

Leach obviously wants to stay. Give him the friggin castle.

LOL i hope he doesnt hahahah Sorry blake!!

[Trainwreck2100]

I know i'm probably late, but what the did you guys do to lose the college forum this time.

[IronMexican]

TTech must be run by idiots if they are going to let Leach leave.

[Blake]

TTech must be run by idiots if they are going to let Leach leave.

The Tech athletic department and booster club are run by a bunch of insecure, arrogant, tightwads that don't want Leach talking to anyone else and also think they can get someone as good as Leach if they let him walk

The only way I might think this would be even in the least bit plausible is if they knew for certain they could bring in Art Briles.....

but even so, they need to bust that f-ing piggy bank open, pay Leach what he wants and meet his contract demands in regards to opting out and interviewing with other schools.

[stretch]

lol, tech

[stretch]

in all seriousness, tech had a great year and have been a pretty decent team here lately. what is the issue between them and leach?

[johngateswhiteley]

I know i'm probably late, but what the did you guys do to lose the college forum this time.

i'm not entirely sure, other than it involved utsa fans.

[johngateswhiteley]

BUT, it never would have gotten there if the anti-UTSA assholes hadn't gone overboard in their ing. Escalation is always the fault of both parties.

thats no excuse for their behavior. sure it can escalate, but that doesn't mean utsa fan loses their mind b/c some posters were giving them . thats unbelievably immature.

[stretch]

wow i didnt even realize until just now that the college forum is gone again. wtf

in' A, UTSA fans. in' A.

[stretch]

thats no excuse for their behavior. sure it can escalate, but that doesn't mean utsa fan loses their mind b/c some posters were giving them . thats unbelievably immature.

agreed. there are lots of fans that give fans of other teams . lakers, spurs, and mavs fans all giving each other . jordan knobslobbers giving kobe knobslobbers fits. all teams giving the suns (because the suns are gay). its no big deal, nothing to get overly bent out of shape for, the way those UTSA s were.

[IronMexican]

wow i didnt even realize until just now that the college forum is gone again. wtf

in' A, UTSA fans. in' A.

They started talking to Kori.

[mookie2001]

its funny that this is the most popular other sports thread of all time

[pkbpkb81]

the utsa fans are a joke there is not a person on the collage board that hasent giveing me about being from oklahoma but i havent called someones work or ed out kori over and the texas,osu,a&m,ttu,usc, and that troll uf fan have not ever gottin out of line like the utsa people

[fyatuk]

thats no excuse for their behavior. sure it can escalate, but that doesn't mean utsa fan loses their mind b/c some posters were giving them . thats unbelievably immature.

Not an excuse, just saying the blame is shared. Those guys went overboard bashing the UTSA guys. It's funny in that basically they kept ragging on them for being immature, then get upset they do something immature.

I don't understand the point of spending like 10 pages of posts calling each other gay. Not like that's entertaining after the first 2 or 3 times.

[CubanMustGo]

I don't understand why both sides won't just let it go.

Anti-UTSA fan: ha ha the dumb UTSA s got the gotdamned College Sports board killed again

UTSA fan: Well, it wasn't just us, we were provoked and nobody did about it

Anti-UTSA fan: WGAF? Nobody is as arrogant as UTSA fan.

UTSA fan: Well you and do you want me to call your boss again

and so it goes. Just let it go, all of you, already. Move on. Please.
