When the typical college football coach uses Twitter it's to announce an upcoming football camp, thank the fans, or make grunting sounds to celebrate a recruit. Mike Leach is not your typical college football coach.
If you follow Leach on Twitter you likely know he's a big movie buff. He's tweeted about movies he enjoys before, but he's now taking it to another level. Late Monday night, Leach Tweeted he'd come up with a list of 50 movies that "command attention."
I've come up with a list of 50 films, in no particular order, that command attention.

Leach decided against dumping the entire list at once, so you'll have to wait until Tuesday for the next 10.
10 more tomorrow.

Mike Leach is still the best.
Football:

11. WSU- Pullman is not Texas, and the ready access to great Texas recruits in Lubbock will not be there in Washington. Leach is a good coach, he has a lot of wins to his name, but rebuilding Pullman is not really the task I would have put him in. I personally find it unlikely that the air-raid system will flourish at WSU, and see them continuing to be the pincushion of the North.
