Texas Tech coach Mike Leach went off on his team Saturday night after a 52-30 loss to Texas A&M. The Red Raiders, coming off victories against Kansas State (66-10) and Nebraska (31-10), were 22-point favorites over the Aggies, who had lost the previous week to the Wildcats, 62-14.
"We talked about not listening to our fat, little girlfriends," he said. "We said we're not going to compare [Kansas State] scores. Well, ha, ha, ha. Hee, hee, hee. I'd like to have a dollar for every time somebody said how many points we’re going to score. It's all a bunch of crap. We got what we deserved. … If it was easy, I'd be coaching the Swedish bikini team."
Leach was still steamed on Monday.
"As coaches, we failed to make our coaching points more compelling than [the players'] fat little girlfriends," he said. "Fat little girlfriends have some obvious advantages. For one thing, their fat little girlfriends are telling them what they want to hear, which is how great you are and how easy it's going to be."
