LUBBOCK – Coach Mike Leach brandished a replica of a pirate's sword at Sunday night's team meeting to stress teamwork. Leach is a something of a pirate buff and gave a similar speech with the sword before playing Navy in the 2003 Houston Bowl.

Leach said the speech was about how pirates used teamwork to attain a common goal. No players were in danger because Leach said the sword isn't sharpened.

"Actually, it's not, because I'm afraid I'll cut myself," he said.
