Mike Leach Press Tour Day: A Schedule Of Events

It's a busy day for new Washington State Cougars head coach Mike Leach, as well as for those of you planning to follow along with his media mini-tour. Leach flew into Spokane on Monday evening, heading over to the Davenport Hotel for a night of rest and relaxation. On Tuesday, he'll head to Pullman for his formal introduction to the world, which will be preceded by a meeting with WSU president Elson Floyd.

If you'd like to greet the coach -- and we highly encourage anyone in Pullman to do this -- head down to the Colorado Street side of Bohler around 8:30 a.m. He'll be getting into town right around then, so give him a welcome.

Before he runs the media gauntlet, he has some business to attend to. Leach needs to be re-certified by the NCAA in order to call recruits and do all those coach-like things, so that test should be happening on Tuesday morning, probably first thing. The rest of his schedule can be found below.

8:30ish a.m.: Arrive in Pullman.
11:30ish a.m.: Meet with Elson Floyd and Bill Moos, plot world domination.
12:00 p.m.: Introductory press conference in the CUB Ballroom. It is open to the public and there will be a live-stream. We'll also have an open thread, because that's what we do.
4:30ish p.m.: Board jet, fly across the state.
6:30 p.m.: Another event in Seattle. This will be a closed event. I'll be there and will have something on it after.

Again, we'll have all your streaming and threading information closer to game-time. Until then, try not to explode with excitement.

Video of his Arival

For those of you who are able to attend his arrival in about an hour or so, can anyone take a video or at least some good pictures for the rest of us not able to be in Pullman. I will assume there will be a good crowd and would love to see the reaction he gets when he finally arrives.

Merchandise

Where can I buy cougar-pirates stuffs?

Nowhere

WSU hasn’t approved it’s usage yet. Check CougShirts.com when it becomes available.

wsu won;'t be selling pirate merch.

I was curious where I could find a pirate/wsu flag like on GameDay on Saturday. I called the Bookie; they won’t be selling a pirate/wsu flag. Just their regular merchandise. I assume that means also no T-shirts etc. but i didn’t specifically ask that question. I think this is incredibly short=sighted, as they would sell a ton of stuff, but i shouldn’t be surprised. maybe something will change in the future.
==Perhaps one of the T-shirt type shops in Pullman will pick up the slack.

They don't want to compromise the integrity of the WSU brand

Hard to fault them for that. In fact, I applaud them for it.

I say let's let Leach get a few wins under his belt before we go whole hog on the Pirate thing.

My mother-in-law already thinks we’ve become the Washington State Pirates. And if she thinks it… then it MUST be true.

That said, when I finally get my WSU flags for my garage I may swindle my wife into sewing some swords on. Maybe an eyepatch too.

yeah, you guys kinda need to earn

your pirateness or swagger.

I checked the Pullman weather today.

37 degrees and clear sky. Great day to welcome The Captain to Pullman. I am bummed, because of work obligations I don’t think I can be streamin’ and threadin’.

Wait, this is real?

because this is when I usually wake up and realize I’m not married to Jessica Alba.

I don't recognize him in a suit.

That’ll come off as soon as the formalities are over. After two years in Key West, I bet he’s getting chafed around the collar. See there, he’s already making sacrifices for WSU.

Many reports of new special teams coach

Eric Russell currently at Tenn…former Tech staff

by footballin on Dec 6, 2011 9:35 AM PST reply actions  

That dude is a stud ...

He is as crazy as Mike is … is one of the premier ST coaches in football. Was on Tech staff for only one year before implosion.

I was there to welcome Coach Leach at Bohler this morning.

Sad it was only my two friends and I plus the Coug Guys and Gals flag wavers. Kind of disappointing, I’d hope all these excited fans would show up.

Yeah and I'm definitely not a morning person.

But I couldn’t miss out on this! There were plenty of people on campus, just no one down there.

by Brett the 49er on Dec 6, 2011 10:38 AM PST up reply actions  

There are two types of college students I remember

Those that get up early (before 10 am) and go to class.

And those that don’t get up early.

by 02Coug on Dec 6, 2011 10:39 AM PST up reply actions  

Never understood that.

Why wake up early to get to class on time if you’re just going to sleep? I’d rather do that in the bed I was previously in. Not that I haven’t fallen asleep in class before, totally have. Just don’t understand the kids that do it every single day.

by Brett the 49er on Dec 6, 2011 10:42 AM PST up reply actions  

Because class is boring and it made me fall asleep.

I wore hoodies every day just so I could prepared with something to lay my head on.

Well, I get part of the lecture.

Then I fall asleep. Better some than none!

True true.

I always struggle attending classes fall semester, but go incredibly regularly spring semester. Not sure why…

by Brett the 49er on Dec 6, 2011 10:58 AM PST up reply actions  

It was always backward for me,

I had no problem in the fall, but good lord I struggled in the spring.
