Mike Leach's greatness is that anything you say about him seems moderately believable.

Ben Jones @benjones88.bsky.social · 2d

I appreciate the reading of this that implies Mike Leach has voluntarily gone missing and we are uncertain, which is honestly a timeline that probably exists.

I never heard of any such thing, but idk if I'd go as far to say it was a blind spot but it's certainly unique he was there for 12 years and nothing of any sort has his named slapped on it. And I'm not talking a library obviously.

Finally got to experience the “please rise for the national anthem” and then the wrong song playing. In this case it was Crazy Train.

Trump is really the dumbest version of a bad thing which is probably the most disconcerting part of anything he tries to do or says. Somebody will do all of this better.

At a high school football game where the opposing coach got mad postgame because the play call sheet in the QB’s wristband went missing in the opposing team’s bag and an assistant coach started stripping to show he didn’t have it.

Skipping a pointless Penn State watch today and paddling out to an island to camp. Will subject myself to the game later.
