Mike Leach recapped Mississippi State’s 39-33 win in overtime over Auburn, and concluded that the Bulldogs have trouble enjoying success.
“I guess you could say we’re tough and dumb,” he said. “We’ve got to enjoy prosperity more.”
The win gave Mississippi State a 6-3 record, which means it’s eligible to go to a bowl.
In a reference he has made earlier in his career, Leach referred to his players’ “fat little girlfriends.”
Leach also referred to the time during the game when he folded up chairs on the sideline.
“We were a lot more interested in sitting in that chair than being on the football field … We had everything but playing cards over there,” he said.
Mike Leach: “I guess you could say we’re tough and dumb. We’ve got to learn to enjoy prosperity more.”

Paraphrasing Mike Leach here, who admitted he might get in trouble for this:
Instead of playing hard and getting a first down… some guys were sitting under a tree and drinking lemonade with their fat little girlfriends.

Leach on being bowl eligible: “It’s an expectation. It’s a deal where you have an opportunity to work and develop some guys.”

Leach said the kickoff from Ben Raybon was a squib kick to prevent them from returning.
