It's been a while since we've heard Mike Leach on the radio, but the Cougars head coach was on SiriusXM on Friday.
Leach joined Mark Packer on SiriusXM College Sports Nation and while you won't be able to hear the full interview without a subscription, there is a short cut up available online. Leach covers a lot of ground in the three minute clip, including a general overview of the Pac-12, the Cougars opening with road games at Auburn and at USC and expectations for the season.
Leach was quotable as usual, including describing one offensive line scheme where "one grenade can kill everybody." The clip ends with Leach talking expectations and a quote that may catch the eye of a few people.
"I always expect to go to a bowl and I expect this team to go to a bowl."
Okay then.

And the Pac-12 blog still thinks Mike Leach will bring the Cougars back to the postseason in the next few years. But maintaining a consistent program that competes for titles every season is going to be tough -- especially in the North.

NFL/NBA drafts:
Emory University did a couple of studies on schools abilities to turn high school talent into NBA and NFL draft picks. WSU checked in at dead last for the NFL study from 2007 to 2012, but fared better in the 2013 NFL study and the 2002-2011 NBA study.
