Like Mike

Before I go dose myself with dressing, a bit of holiday goodwill on behalf of our alumni in Dallas:

It seems Mike Leach's won't be short $10,000 -- or not all of it, at least -- thanks to the dedication of his (Texas Tech's) fans. Leach was fined by the Big 12 for -- gasp! -- daring to question the officiating of a game.

Granted, UT did most of the damage without the help of zebras. And, yeah, a public flogging wasn't the most PC way to handle the situation. But that's Leach. Pirate flags in West Texas? Guest game introductions by Donald Trump? Such things have become part of life around Lubbock.

So this is a symbolic gesture of support, Dallas businessman Brian Mayes, who is leading the effort, told the Dallas Morning News.
