Red Raiders

The mess in Lubbock is unfortunate. Mike Leach was always a guy who was accountable to no one. That’s never a good idea when you’re dealing with college athletics. There are, I’m sure, two sides to every story. I grew up during a time when coaches grabbed face masks, gave swats, kicked desks and threw chalkboard erasers at sleeping players. If you want mistreatment of college athletes read “Meat on the Hoof” sometime. That said , there just isn’t room for the kind of antics Leach employed at Tech. They are antiquated and kids today don’t respond to that kind of approach. This was good fodder for a sports cartoon.

Just a side note. Today’s cartoon was drawn completely on computer on a tablet called the Cintiq. It’s amazing what technology can do.
