Below is a live look at me following this huge news.
Mike Leach and Lane Kiffin in the same conference and in the same state! I am so happy right now. I am so happy!
This morning, I said all I wanted was for Leach to go to Mississippi State. Here we are several hours later, and it’s happening.
I wish you could all see the smile on my face right now.

Guess who just became a huge Mississippi State Bulldogs fan? Me. I can’t wait to see what Leach does in the SEC.
Go, Leach, go!
