Honoring Leach

[TXDawg.sixpack]

Sorry if Germans. Haven't seen this discussed yet.

Not many details in the article, but it looks like we're planning to honor Coach Leach throughout the SELA game including a presentation with his family after the first quarter:

State Set To Pay Tribute To Mike Leach During Opener - Mississippi State

Mississippi State is set to pay tribute to the legendary Mike Leach as part of the Bulldogs' season-opening game on Sept. 2 against Southeastern Louisiana.

Good to see this happening!

I might have missed it but is there any kind of uniform tribute the team plans on wearing for the season?

 

[Ghostman]

Players will have swords at their side for this game.

 

[The Fatboy]

Seriously I really hope they fly a bulldog pirate flag somewhere in the stadium

Probably not the most popular opinion, but I think it's time to move on.

Since the family will be there the first play should be out of the air-raid. One and done.

I agree. Honor him this game since it's the first home game since his passing. Show his family some love and give them an opportunity to thank the fan base for the support. All of that is appropriate. And then let's move on.

It will be after we have the first game, and our first opportunity to pay tribute to him on the football field.

No. We need to milk it: put a bust of his head where the players come out of the tunnel so they can rub on it, like the flagship does.



**** - just in case you need to see these.

Not just an unpopular opinion, but a very wrong one. This is the first home football game since he died. We absolutely have to do something to honor him.

I agree. This along with a helmet sticker or jersey patch for the year. Something small

 

[Ghostman]

The sword cowbell will be on sale in the book store. Nothing like ring a sharp long cowbell in a stadium filled with people. Get yours today.

 

[Ghostman]

The offense will play with a patch over an eye in the 1st quarter and the defense will do the same in the 2nd quarter. The coaches will wear a patch over an eye in post game interviews and press conferences.

Maybe. It's my story and I'm sticking to it however.

I expect stubbornness out of folks with bad opinions.

First home game I'd say definitely tribute. But I would agree after that need to move forward. CZA isn't the interim. He's the guy needs to be his program not Leaches because Leach isn't here anymore to do it how he would have and only he could have. Need to move forward snd see what arnett can do

One of the greatest coaches in college football history died while coaching at our school. There has to be some type of memorial (even if it’s small) somewhere in the stadium that stays until DWS is no more.
