© Arizona Republic-USA TODAY NETWORK
Mississippi State stole head coach Mike Leach from Washington State on Thursday. If you didn't know, Leach had a thing for pirates, some even refer to him as “The Pirate,” so this is how Bulldogs AD John Cohen announced the news of Leach's hiring on Twitter...


Leach, welcome to the SEC. Let's get weird.

Looks like the LSU vs Miss St game will go for a 1000 yards combined.

Starkville was named in 1837. It’s taken 183 years for anything of note to happen there. Good luck to Leach, he’ll need it there.

No prob. Disney owns ESPN, who is one and the same with the SEC (per Buckeye fans). And they wouldn't sue a member.
