Comments on: Future players, assistant coach relieved Leach is staying http://www.redraiders.com/2009/02/19/future-players-assistant-coach-relieved-leach-is-staying/ Texas Tech University Sports presented by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:08:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Austin Raider http://www.redraiders.com/2009/02/19/future-players-assistant-coach-relieved-leach-is-staying/comment-page-1/#comment-16137 Austin Raider Sat, 21 Feb 2009 14:56:57 +0000 http://www.redraiders.com/?p=6167#comment-16137 I heard the ESPN guy trying hard to be funny. That's ok, he is a wanna be big announcer and Chancellor Kent Hance is so much more of a man and responsible human. THANK YOU CHANCELLOR HANCE, if it were not for his level head this deal would not be done. He definitely made lemonade out of lemon. I was extremely impressed with his demeanor and the way he controlled the media room. You could tell they just stuck ole Gerald in the corner and told him not to say much. Even when he did speak, it wasn't near the positive tone Mr. Hance used. Tech is so lucky to have men such as John Montford and Kent Hance as representatives of this great Univ. Wreck 'em Tech!!! I am so glad I get to keep wearing my Raider gear in Austin. I heard the ESPN guy trying hard to be funny.

For two days Tech gave them all the juicy news they wanted...constantly replaying the interview with Leach, etc., but as soon as the news was good for Tech it was time to make Hance sound like a hick. Really made me angry that a national media perosn would act so poorly. Eric in New Mexico-

An ESPN announcer making fun of the way Kent Hance talks. He was mocking the Tech Chancellor's accent. Are you kidding me? I thought the Tech Chancellor deserved better than that. This is something I will not forget. And this may be a new low for ESPN NEWS. Way to go, you jerks. I thought you vetted the people you employ.
