"Sleeping with the Enemy?"The winningest coach in Tech history was interviewed in the Dallas paper for today. My favorite part is below:
Brush with greatness: Dykes had beaten Oklahoma in his final game at Tech in 1999. The next day, he was shaving when his wife said he had a phone call. It was Sports Illustrated, she said. "I nearly cut my jugular vein," Dykes recalled. "I was thinking, 'Here I've coached 50 years and Sports Illustrated has never called me." After rushing through the bedroom and nearly falling over the furniture, he made it to the phone with his heart racing. "They said, 'For $49.95, we'll send you 52 issues plus the swimsuit [issue].' So that was my claim to fame," Dykes said.
