Recapping the Cougars' Pac-12 media session

Give Mike Leach a microphone and whatever comes out of his mouth is going to be gold. I know it, you know it, even the casual college football fan knows it. The final day of the Pac-12 media session in Burbank, Calif., was no different for Leach. In addition to some actual football stuff -- recapped here -- these are just a few of the things we learned:

• Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez shared a hilarious story about Leach that included a lagoon and a speedo (no, really)

ICYMI: @CoachRodAZ just recalled the time he watched @Coach_Leach surface from a lagoon. No Joke. #Pac12fb http://t.co/KlKxEZjRVG

• Leach tried to punch open a pinata and had to be held back by Jeremiah Allison

• The Cougars don't spend enough time at the Palouse Ridge Golf Club

• Jeremiah Allison and Joe Dahl shouldn't be allowed in the dress up box anymore

• Leach sometimes acts like Jesus

• Had he been a character in Harry Potter, Leach would be housed in Hufflepuff

Mike Leach recommends the Warner Bros. Studio tour. "They tell you what tribe you're in. ... I can't remember, it was Huffle something."

Although his post game pressers can be awfully dull and sleep-inducing, Leach is far and wide one of the most entertaining figures in college football.
