We're just one day away from what's expected to be a rally of thousands, on the Tech campus.
Team Leach started as a Facebook group, quickly growing to 60,000 members -- all upset over the way Mike Leach's firing was handled by University officials.
So with the help of a PR firm out of Dallas, they've organized a rally for tomorrow at 1 p.m. at Memorial Circle in order to, they say, find some answers.
Charlie Hodges, 'Team Leach' Rally Organizer: "The school song, the last verse, has the term 'strive for honor, evermore.' We just feel there may not have been some honor in the way that Mike Leach was terminated from the university." Organizers say they invited both Chancellor Kent Hance and President Guy Bailey to the rally, both declined. Athletic director Gerald Myers and Coach Tommy Tuberville are also invited, but it's not known if they'll attend yet or not. Again, the rally's set for one tomorrow afternoon at Memorial Circle on campus.
