reading this Mike Leach thing on Grantland
i mean dude seem legit crazy on some of these stories
if you was a QB could yall play for him

yeah you gonna put up numbers but it seems like playing for Leach would take a grind on you mentally

being a Leach quarterback is in the inherent freedom of the offense: Every play call that Leach makes is meant to be viewed as a suggestion. If the quarterback sees something different — if he spots an opening to audible to a running play, as Halliday says he looks for on every single down, even though the Cougars running backs are averaging 62.5 yards per game combined this year — he is free to change the play call at any time. There is a moment early in each of his quarterbacks’ development when Leach will signal in a play during practice, and the defense will shift to adjust to that play, and the quarterback will run it anyway. And Leach will say, “Why did you run that play?”
And the quarterback will respond, “Because you called it.”

And Leach will say, “I let you change any play you want. So why did you call it?”

Last year against Oregon, the Cougars fell behind 55-24 in the fourth quarter and Halliday sprained the AC joint in his shoulder, but Leach kept calling pass plays, and Halliday continued to sling it, wincing every time, throwing an NCAA record 89 times in a 62-38 loss, a performance so gratuitous that then–Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti condemned it as “low class.”

during a game against Oregon State. On the sideline, Leach started yelling at him for something neither of them can remember.11 Halliday snapped. He said, Shut up already, I get it, and from there Leach’s fury worsened, and Halliday got angrier, too, and his emotions led him to force several passes, so that he threw a fourth-quarter interception, and then another, and then — “I just said, ‘fukk it’” — a third pick. Leach pulled him from the game, and later that night, Halliday cried in front of his father for the first time since he was a kid. (“If it weren’t for my dad,” he tells me, “I’d probably be in an insane asylum.”) It was, he says now, the worst experience he’s ever had playing organized football.

The next day, Halliday went to see Leach in his office. He explained that he didn’t mind getting yelled at in the film room or on the practice field, but that getting reamed on the sideline just didn’t work for him. And Leach, Halliday tells me, said something like, Well then, play better.

If FSU does lose to Louisville, I wonder how far they drop though..... :patrice:
i dont expect them to lose either but say all the higher ranked teams win otherwise.
1. miss st
2. auburn
3. oregon
4. alabama
5. tcu
6. michigan st
7. kansas st
8. notre dame
9. georgia

obviously they'd have to be above the bottom two teams on the list above. anywhere between 4-8.
