This episode is brought to you by a Twitter wager wherein Sophie and I were able to get over 1,000 likes on a tweet asking if Coach Mike Leach would be a guest on our podcast. As it turns out, sometimes Twitter can be used for good.
The result is a delightful conversation with Coach Leach about football, which SEC coach would win in a bar fight, his favorite books and some thoughts on bad calls by officials. If you know me at all then you know I brought up DeShazor Everett and that wrongful targeting call back in 2013. I will never let it go.
We hope you enjoy because we sure did.
