What James did to Leach was fricked up.


I was living in Celina, Texas when the dust up happened, and I expected everyone to side with the James family since they were locals. Not one person I talked to took their side. Everyone I spoke with said they were assholes.

That senate try by James was hilarious. He found out real quick how hated he was after that Leach dispute.

I wouldn’t let it go either if someone tried to frick up my career.

It’s not just James. He’s stayed on TTU’s arse for not paying him what he believed he was owed until the end but TX has something called sovereign immunity which I think prevents public institutions from being sued. It’s not something Leach ever forgave, forgot, or stopped battling.

People forget at that time, Craig James was actually relevant in sports. He’s all but vanished now, his career pretty much tanked partially due to the Tech stuff.



huh, didn't really think about that, but you are right. He sucked as an analyst.

Craig James could not be in the pimpin trade

I used to talk to him on radio about this shite when he was in time out, his real anger was at Texas Tech and how they screwed him over. Much less so about Craig James, he think he was overprotective dad, etc but I never heard him get fired out about Craig James but he I did him going a few times about Texas Tech. He felt like the James thing was a set up and they were just looking for an excuse, yet they were immune from suit

If Tech wanted to do the right thing they would pay what he was owed to his family.

You'd be wrong. Leach talked about it way back when he did it.

Plenty of websites indicate that it is real, and I can't find one that says it isn't.

Done by request for someone named Nick Gustavson at a Barnes & Noble book signing, from what I gather.

Leach was talking before MSU’s bowl game against TT last season about how they owed him money.

He definitely never let it go, and justifiably so IMO. The judge or judges who dismissed his case against TTU were Tech grads. He got absolutely railroaded.

The only thing you need to know about Craig James is that his son's a sloppy pussy. Really sloppy.

I will never understand why some people downvote something like this.

Must be Craig James fans.
