Mike Leach: Washington State Seniors Have “Empty Corpse” Quality

All, College Football Jason McIntyre October 9th. 2012, 12:15pm

Mike Leach, coach of the Washington State Cougars, on the team’s senior leadership:

“I think with some it’s stellar . . . some of them have been great and some of them have been very poor. Some of them have had this zombie-like, go through the motions, that’s how it’s always been and that’s how it’ll always be.’”
“Some of them, quite honestly, have an empty-corpse quality,” he said. “It’s not pleasant to say or pleasant to think about, but it’s a fact, which is why it’s been necessary to have the youth movement we’ve had. We play a bunch of (redshirt) freshmen and true freshmen because we get a higher effort level out of them.”

The Cougars are 2-4, but still have an outside shot at getting to .500 and a bowl game. They’ll need to win the rest of their home games (Cal, UCLA, Washington) and one road game (Stanford, Utah, Arizona State). Enter pirate/booty reference here. [Sports Press Northwest]

Weis told most of the seniors to go lift weights on Sunday while the underclassmen practiced. I think both he and Leach have finally reached the, “There is no I can coach up this shit. Let’s just start over.”

Just know that if he lives, you can expect to see the video in the roundup in 3-5 days. If he dies, expect a “BREAKING” video post.

KC, thanks. Of course I have a meeting at one and won’t be able to watch this. Kittinger’s jump is one of the coolest, least recognized aeronautic achievements in our history. The footage from that is mind-boggling. Can’t imagine what this will look like with HD cameras and modern technology providing video.

Also, if he pulls this off and lives, I think it is written somewhere that it is free pussy for life for him.

First it was a post about Tuel being a heisman dark horse and now saying the Cougs have an “outside shot” at a bowl game. Haha, cut your losses here, they are terrible and would be lucky to match their 2-4 first half. Lets not forget who those 2 wins were against…

It’s really the top most edge of the atmosphere, but nowhere near actual space.
He’s doing it to break the record held by Col. Joseph Kittinger, which was set in 1960. I’m sure there’s a science component as well, but what that could be, I don’t know.
Kittinger, if you’ve never read about him, is one of the biggest badasses to ever walk planet earth. I think his balls are made of titanium.

Not sure about the French guy, but the Soviets did high altitude parachute drops as well in the 60s. The guy who held their record died their the decent though because he bumped his helmet on the gondola as he leapt out of it and cracked his visor.

Honestly, Glenn’s orbit around the earth in a tiny metal capsule with limited fuel and communications would terrify me more than jumping from the balloon. The sheer emptiness coupled with the knowledge that you have no idea what to expect because you’re the first one up there for any extended period of time would cause my mind to melt.
Wolfe’s description of his ride in The Right Stuff will make you sweat.

Queefer, while I agree to an extent, he also had an entire team of scientists and engineers monitoring what he was doing and making corrections. This is what Joe Kittinger saw as he jumped in 1960.
Jumping out into nothingness and giving all control to gravity is about as scary as it gets. I can’t imagine the balls it takes to see that and say “Yeah I’m going to jump out into that”.
