Covering Washington State football might be one of the best beats in American sportswriting. Not because of anything about the team, really, just because you get to talk to Mike Leach all the time.
Just within the past year, Leach has used his meetings with the media to discuss the possible existence of Big Foot and aliens, as well as to give his thoughts on planning a wedding.
Reporters are happy to ask Leach all sorts of off-the-wall questions and Leach is more than happy to answer them. On Tuesday, Leach was asked if he ever sees wildlife while out on a walk and told a story about tracking a raccoon.
