per Joe:
While Gophers players staged their two-day boycott last week, leaving their Holiday Bowl status temporarily uncertain, Washington State coach Mike Leach made it clear he just didn’t care.
“I don’t pay attention,” Leach told reporters Dec. 16. “If somebody decided to boycott here, I’d cut them.”
Leach, 55, always has been a maverick, unafraid to shoot from the hip, like the quarterbacks in his Air Raid offense. He’s best known to Gophers fans as the former Texas Tech coach who turned the 2006 Insight Bowl into Glen Mason’s worst nightmare.
Minnesota led that game 38-7 midway through the third quarter in Tempe, Ariz., and Leach’s Red Raiders rallied to win 44-41 in overtime.
“It was a game where Minnesota totally dominated the first half, and we totally dominated the second half,” Leach said. “And I’ve got to be honest: I’ve never seen a game contrasted quite like that.”
