Texas Tech field drenched; Leach commissions ark

By Matt Hinton

Exiled in a land-lubbin' burg like Lubbock, bawdy Cap'n Mike Leach has always fancied the pirate's life, but not even the one-eyed, peg-legged, swinger of swords could set his Raiders asail in the depths that covered Jones Field roughly 48 hours ahead of Saturday's 6 p.m. kickoff between Texas Tech and equally high-flying SMU:

I've heard of a depth chart, but this is ridiculous.

Seriously, folks, a rep in Tech's football office told me the field has been pumped and the game's on as scheduled. The Cap'n is disappointed, no doubt. Cuz if ye scurvy dogs didn't think there'd be cannons, ya'd had another think comin', and a supper of iron and fire on its tail. Yarr.

    That might be the only reason that the over/under total points stays out of triple digits.

    American football is for sissys. Play rugby and you'll know what a real mans sport is.

    @adfadfadf ...i think rugby is more a demanding sport but i'd wouldn't say football is for sissys...especially when it's the number one sport here ion the states...you might get away with it in the UK but you'd get pummeled saying that here

    Man...if the game is that wet...how will either team move the ball? Does tech even know how to run the football?
    I really like how not one person who called second was actually second. What's the point of doing that, anyways? Is it life affirming or something?
