Ole Miss fans , you have been total class!

Ole Miss fans have been 100|% class about Mike Leach's passing.


Almost hard to pull against you guys. I do think the relationship between Lane Kiffin and Mike Leach did a lot to soften the hatred between both schools.


This has been hard for us MSU fans , and yes, LSU and Auburn and Alabama reached out like the entire SEC and gave us somewhat comfort. There will never be another Mike Leach. I wish MSU could claim him exclusively but we can't.

He did say he loved Starkville and how it was the perfect fit, he would keep his house regardless of his career. He was one of our own, always spending many hours talking to a cashier wanting to know her background, This was Mike Leach , the man.

I only met him twice in 3 years, once just lined up shaking his hand, the second time getting him to sign a T-Shirt outside of Bulldog Burger. He could spend an hour breaking down a perfect hamburger, I'm dead serious.

Something a lot of people didn't know including our own fans. Leach was a big fan of little things, like the Mississippi River and how low the water level was. He loved things like MSU basketball and Baseball. He really liked our coaching staff in athletics , especially Sam Purcell, our new Women's head coach.

He could go hours and hours about anything. You could mention a Delta 747 and he'd explain why it was built and how it functioned , like a mechanic. I will miss him like no other. We lost a national treasure.
