Over the years I've had conversations with former WSU football players about Mike Leach. And what they had to say didn't seem to jive with his public persona. In my first story for @TheAthleticFF I decided to delve into that contradiction.

Love him or loathe him, there's more than one side to Mike Leach

Maybe the Mike Leach college football fans think they know isn’t the real Mike Leach. He’s certainly not the Mike Leach his players know.

Mike Leach's passing had us thinking back to our interactions. Some of them were short, some long. All interesting. Our daily column, with lots of links.

I've never been a big fan of SportsCenter highlights. Until last night. Our daily column, which not only covers a monster dunk but also puts a spotlight on tonight's GU game at Arizona. And, yes, we have a lot of links.

Why is it when change comes, we have to take one side or the other? Can't both be OK? Our Moos column, with links.

One of the more amazing stats Hank Aaron put up is his 3,771 hits. If you look at baseball's top 10 players in hits, Aaron has 280 more career home runs than anyone else (Stan Musial, 475) on the list. He wasn't really a home run hitter. He just hit the ball hard. All the time.

@GeoffONeil I have a different take. As a journalist, it’s your job to research the issues before you say something on TV (or in print or radio or online). You may not agree with it, or you may. Either way, do the work. Or change professions.

Improvised way to Dodger Stadium. Train then bus. Lots of Dodger fans. Who would have thought?
