As you've probably heard by now, a frustrated Coach Mike Leach had some harsh words Saturday Night about his player's love lives, partly blaming the loss to the Aggies on the player's "fat little girlfriends" rather than listening to the coaches.
That comment, repeated more than few times, is now grabbing attention nationwide. National media even seeming a little shocked, ESPN discussing the comments this afternoon.
But for the girlfriends, it's not a laughing matter. One former girlfriend tells us her weight has nothing to do with the success of the team, and that Coach Leach doesn't even know her.
There's even a website now -- FatLittleGirlfriend.com -- that's selling merchandise with the now catchphrase on it. Coach Leach says he will not apologize.
