Very sad news. Leach was an offensive genius and, a fascinating character

Veteran college football coach Mike Leach, 61, died Monday night following complications from a heart condition. Leach, who led Mississippi State since 2020, was transported to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson on Sunday to receive treatment for a medical incident suffered in his home.

Acclaimed as the architect of the innovative and record-setting “Air Raid” offense alongside Hal Mumme, Leach was a three-time national coach of the year and three-time Power Five conference coach of the year. He won a pair of Power Five division titles and led his teams to 19 bowl games during his 21-year head coaching career.

Say a prayer for Coach Leach folks

Mississippi State coach Mike Leach was hospitalized in critical condition Monday, the day after what the university called “a personal health issue” at his home in Starkville forced him to be airlifted to a medical facility in Jackson.

Leach was admitted Sunday to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, about 125 miles (200 kilometers) from the Mississippi State campus.

Come on coach, pull through

Gators run wild, thump Gamecocks

Down big to Georgia, the Gators rallied, made a bit of a game of it, then, two defensive starters were booted from the program by Coach Napier. Since then, this is a different team.. Better defensively, better offensively, just all-around better. With, again, a top ten recruiting class coming in. How great it would be to run out and win whatever bowl game we get and finish 9-4.

RIP Vince Dooley

Man, as a kid, I remember my dad hated Coach Dooley because they beat the Gators a lot. Of course he did not literally hate the man, well except for the last Saturday in October every year. Hearing of Dooley’s passing yesterday, I was filled with admiration for an old rival, that “hate” was really respect, and I wish the best for his family, and offer condolences. RIP Coach Dooley

Queen Elizabeth ll dies at 96

0 0
Read Time:52 Second

I never was a big fan of royalty, or obsessed with the “royals” or any of that. But I always admired Queen Elizabeth. May she rest in peace.

The longest-ever reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the only monarch most of her subjects have ever known, is over. Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor died Thursday at Balmoral Castle, her estate in Scotland. She was 96.   

“The queen is dead, long live the king!” Bells will toll and gun salutes will soon be firing throughout the United Kingdom as broadcasters, proclaiming heralds and Twitter mark the passing of one sovereign and the ascension of the new one. 

Her eldest son and heir, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, 73, immediately became king upon her death.

As the 41st monarch since William the Conqueror in 1066, Elizabeth was the symbol of stability as Britain and its 1,000-year-old monarchy sailed through roiling storms of the modern age, including a deadly pandemic.

Best two words I can hear? GATORS WIN!

I expected a tough contest with the Utah Utes, and, I was right, back and forth game, and, a late TD by QB Anthony Richardson, who ran for three TD’s and looked very much a team leader. And, finally, after Utah looked to have the game, a pick by linebacker Amari Burney, at the goal line sealed a nail biter!!

Matt Baker, Tampa Bay Times

GAINESVILLE — Florida Gators coach Billy Napier spent the offseason trying to lessen the pressure and hype on star quarterback Anthony Richardson.

Good luck doing that after Saturday night’s showing against Utah.

Richardson dazzled with three touchdown rushes, an unbelievable two-point conversion attempt and a daring fourth-down conversion and the game-winning score in the Gators’ 29-26 upset of No. 7 Utah in Napier’s debut.

Huge win, like what I saw. Defense needs to get a bit grittier, and definitely pass rushing is a must improve area. Offensive line played well, running backs are talented, and the receiving corps looks good. Richardson might prove to be very, very, special. Overall offense looked like it might be very dangerous. Tough schedule ahead. Good win, now next opponent up Kentucky, in the Swamp.

Now some highlights!

The two-point conversion play, DAMN!
