The latest rumor that ive heard is that the Gator Bowl has extended an invitation to Tech already. I dont think its true since it doesnt make much sense to give an invitation without the confrence championship still to play, and the big 12 still not garunteed 2 teams in the BCS. Though I do think that the gator bowl kinda secretly wants Tech to play their this year.

yeah it's been out in the open for a couple weeks that the Gator Bowl wants Tech.
i'm too lazy to dig up the articles, but their chairman has already said they'll pick us when it's their turn. the big 12 will have 2 BCS teams either way things happen imo. situation #1: mizzou wins the big 12 and goes to the MNC, while Kansas gets an at-large bid situation #2: ou wins the big 12 and gets the automatic BCS game, while mizzou gets an at-large bid. go mizzou. --------------------  |

and Trump wrote a letter to the Miami president about hiring Leach
i really hope Leach has no interested in leaving. seriously, next couple years...we're supposed to be badass. Graham's 3rd year as a starter, Crabtree, possibly JUCO guys coming in... right now we're the 2nd youngest team in the country, so just imagine how good we should be next year. oh yeah, and our defense will be much better after a whole offseason with Ruff (or a new guy, either way). -------------------- |

I've heard the "in the next couple of years we are going to be really good" routine for the past 6 years.... I predict a magical 8-4 season next year, and the year after that, and the year after that.... -------------------- |

Yeah, i can only hope tech breaks past the era of: every year pulling off one upset, but losing 3 games to crap teams we should easily beat.

Harrell won the Sammy Baugh Trophy... Kliff and BJ won that too, though.
Leach/Arkansas isn't happening. They aren't looking in his direction. I would root very hard for UCLA this weekend, though. |

UCLA won't happen either, it's just a rumor. Leach won't leave Tech when we have so many starters returning on both sides of the ball. Not to mention he has a $1 million bonus for finishing his contract, which is up in what, 2010? Nobody is going to buy out his contract and/or pay him his $2 million/yr he makes at Tech. Leach probably wouldn't be drawn to UCLA, it's not that much of a step up. Michigan maybe, but I doubt they're looking at him. He also has nowhere to go but up by sticking with Tech for at least another year. If he can ride the backs of Crabtree & Harrell, take advantage of OU & UT starting to show weakness, and pull out a 10 or 11 win season next year he'll double his value and draw the looks of the big teams.
