1)Tech quarterback Graham Harrell reacted angrily after Tech fans booed him during a turnover binge last week against Missouri. But Coach Mike Leach had a jab for Tech fans when asked about it after the game.
“If anything, it’s comforting to me that we’re in the presence of a few people that are so superior at what they do that maybe some of it will rub off on me and Graham,” Leach told reporters earlier this week.
2)A&M’s gaudy No. 13 ranking in rushing belies a couple of facts. The Aggies have padded those stats against weak opponents in its first six games, including Division I-AA foe The Citadel, Army (102nd in rushing defense), Louisiana Tech (117th in rushing defense) and Texas Tech (72nd). And in two of three situations when they really needed a crucial first down running the ball this season – against Tech on the final drive and against Army on fourth down late in the fourth quarter – the Aggies’ running game bogged down. We’ll see how good the A&M running game really is on Saturday when it faces Missouri, ranked 10th nationally in rush defense.
3)There was an interesting letter to the editor in the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal earlier this week from Kyle Rowland, father of third-string QB Ryan Rowland.
Rowland implored Tech coaches to give his son a shot at playing time.
Ryan Rowland is best known for an altercation earlier this summer in training camp with second-string QB Chris Todd. Rowland suffered a broken nose in the exchange.

Thought that quote was funny too - but in another classic one, Leach basically said the same things I was saying, and that is that Harrell should shut up and play. The only way to shut up a boo bird is to make plays, and not to throw immature tantrums.
