PrintIt's a Thursday during basketball season, yet the Cougars do not play tonight. In fact, we have to wait all the way until Sunday to see the Cougars men's team in action. Honestly, I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I'm not sure if many of you were actually looking forward to watching the Cougs play tonight.
In an effort to help pass the time, I gathered as many links as possible. They may not keep you busy until Sunday, but they should take up at least a solid 10 minutes of your morning. No point in wasting any more time, let's get straight to them starting with an update on Mike Leach's lawsuit against Texas Tech.
Leach lawyer resigns | Bohl Games
Mike Leach’s lead attorney has filed a motion before the Texas Supreme Court withdrawing as the lawyer for the fired Texas Tech head football coach, Leach’s attorney in Lubbock confirmed to the American-Statesman on Wednesday.
Washington State Cougars - Spokesman.com - Jan. 12, 2012
OUTLOOK: The Cougars posted two fairly dominant wins over the Huskies in the regular season last year before Washington claimed a win in the conference tournament.

PULLMAN – There was a time, assistant coach Curtis Allen recalls, when Washington State’s recruiting presence on the west side of the state was so scant that many Seattle-area prospects weren’t interested in taking visits here.
Very early morning links as Wednesday turns to Thursday - SportsLink - Spokesman.com - Jan. 12, 2012
FROM PULLMAN – There's a bit of WSU news and lots of links to get to, and I’m all hopped up on Mountain Dew and feeling a little antsy. So we’re not going to wait until the morning to pass along our coverage and our conference links. Read on for a late-night (early morning) snack.
Levenseller goes, but not far | WSU Cougars - The News Tribune
Longtime Washington State assistant coach Mike Levenseller has been hired by Idaho, FootballScoop.com reported Wednesday.
WSU HEADS ACROSS THE STATE TO TAKE ON WASHINGTON: Washington State University men's basketball (9-7, 1-3) hits the road for its third-consecutive road game and sixth-straight game away from Pullman as it takes on cross-state rival Washington (10-6, 3-1), Sunday, Jan. 15 at 4 p.m. at Alaska Airlines Arena. The game can be seen live on FSN as Steve Physioc and Ernie Kent have the call with Rebecca Haarlow on the sidelines. It can be heard on the Cougar Radio Network with Bud Nameck's call.
Motum on the rise | WSU Cougars - The News Tribune
PULLMAN – Washington State basketball coach Ken Bone was trying his best to criticize Cougars post players Brock Motum and Charlie Enquist, and he was doing a darn poor job of it.
Trip to Seattle familiar for many Cougars - Spokesman.com - Jan. 11, 2012
PULLMAN – There was a time, assistant coach Curtis Allen recalls, when Washington State’s recruiting presence on the west side of the state was so scant that many Seattle-area prospects weren’t interested in taking visits here.
Husky Men's Basketball Blog | Pac-12 Power Rankings: Week 9 | Seattle Times Newspaper
Washington State stormed into Pac-12 play with a six-game winning streak, but is 1-3 since. The conference-opening home defeat to Oregon is probably worse than the loss at Utah considering Pac-12 teams are 5-17 in league road games.

Can someone tell me if we travel to the bay area this year?
If you are looking for somewhere to eat before or after that game
Check out Original Joe’s in downtown San Jose. You won’t be disappointed.

It doesn't sound good for Leach's legal case if the plaintiff is requesting a settlement
The blood of "The Five" cries for justice.
I am assuming this is the wrongful termination case
What is left? The ESPN case and the case against the PR firm that released the youtube video?

Leach probably doesn't want to waste his time and draw it out.
He has job at WSU and probably doesn’t want to deal with this anymore or have it be a distraction. Probably sick of it.

Was just typing a similar thing...beat me to it!
At this point he probably isn’t looking for damages or that big bonus he was due. Just his salary from the final season he coached that was never paid.
This suit is against Texas Tech and the state of Texas right? Since they’re a public institution? My guess is they’d be willing to drag it out a lot longer than he thinks is worthwhile.

I doubt that this is a major distraction for him
save a few updates and memos from his attorneys. I think in as far as he has a chance to collect damages, he will pursue all of this to the full extent possible.

His suit against Tech was a battle against sovereign immunity, which … Good luck.
by Brian Floyd on Jan 12, 2012 8:51 AM PST via mobile up reply actions
OOPS!
hit the post button too quick. Sovereign immunity has been removed from every State college EXCEPT in Texas. If he is going to take this to the end it will appeal to federal court.

Sovereign Immunity
is hard to fight. ESPN and Craig James can’t claim immunity, so I would expect those cases to continue. Is it true that CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS
WHILE AT SMU?

I can't wait until we're done with the Craig James hookers talk.
Craig James is an idiot. But, he is a HUGE part of why Leach is now at WSU. Texas Tech should blast James all they want, I personally am grateful for him and his whiny son. They were the catalyst to Leach being fired and eventually coming to WSU. James isn’t even on ESPN anymore and will soon be laughed out of his run to senate. Coug fans has so far gotten everything we could possibly want out of it. James is Tech and the state of Texas’ problem.
Go Cougs!
I hope we never forget!
The question if CRAIG JAMES KILLED 5 HOOKERS WHILE AT SMU? Must be answered. Hookers are people too!

The Appeals court
upheld the Captain’s right to sue … just that he could NOT recover monetary damages. He’s said before, if the Texas Supreme Court did not overturn that part, he would roll it into the ESPN/James suits. All the briefs are in, they are just waiting to hear from the Court.
But, whatever …. Coach Leach and his family have what they value most … a good home … and, as you can see, most of the College football world’s support. (Thank you Wazzo!)
Now … let’s see the scoreboard with the words “WE WIN” - “WE SCORE ALOT” - light up that stadium!! -———- GO COUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS: I’ve seen NOWHERE that CRAIG JAMES HAS EVER DENIED THAT HE KILLED 5 HOOKERS WHILE HE WAS AT SMU!
And Rose
As those of us who have read “Swing Your Sword” or “Double T Double Cross” know that the depositions and emails involving Kent Hance and the unethical members of the Board of Regents discussed how to set Leach adrift without paying him his due from the time of signing his last contract. Hence, Hance & cronies are guilty parties in that whole fiasco and the emptying of the stands at Jones Stadium is their not quite eternal reward.
P.S.
I now have to see if the Pac 12 Network will have streaming WSU football games available as I doubt very seriously that any local cable/satellite network will provide the Pac 12 to rural Texas.
If a game is being televised anywhere
You can probably find someone streaming it online.

You are right
I just don’t want to have to go hunting here and there, would rather make a contribution to the conference if they sell streaming inexpensively.
Internet viewing is part of the Pac 12 deal but I'm not sure they have the details worked out.
An article I read said it would be something similar to ESPN3.
I'm pretty sure that's part of the plan.
