Summary

As you can imagine, Melanie and I were heartbroken to hear about Coach Mike Leach's death earlier this week. We actually recorded this episode before he passed away, so we talk about a lot of the stuff you might expect: Melanie's hunting wardrobe, the trip that David and I took last week, A&M's continued search for an offensive coordinator, and our thoughts about the college kids coming home for Christmas break. All fun things - and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

There's also a special little something at the very end.

Let's continue to pray for the Leach family - as well as for the Mississippi State football team and coaches. Coach Leach was a treasure, and we lost him way too soon.

0:03.0	Hey, it's Melanie. It's Big Mama.
0:05.0	We actually recorded this week's episode before we knew the very sad news
0:11.0	that Mississippi State's football coach Mike Leach passed away Monday night.
0:17.0	Yes. And we were, we had talked about how sad we were about, you know, hearing that he was not in good health
0:23.0	and he was in the hospital. And I just, I keep thinking about him today.
0:26.0	And I'm like, what a guy. Like, what, how much he brought to the game of college football and how much he'll be missed
0:31.0	because you know that my, my fondest wish came true when he became Mississippi State's coach
0:37.0	because I wanted him in the SEC.
0:39.0	Yeah.
0:40.0	And what a loss. I mean, he did so much for the game.
0:43.0	And I'm just so sad for his family and his friends and, and the world of college football.
0:47.0	I know. I've thought all morning about the fact that, you know, Mississippi State people,
0:52.0	we, we don't like a lot of pretense. And we're not super interested generally in keeping up with the genders
1:00.0	because we, we kind of think maybe the genders are mortgaged up to their eyeballs anyway.
1:04.0	But his just sincere affection for people, the fact that he was so genuine, he was so without any sort of ego
1:16.0	or without any sort of pretense, it just endeared him to us on every level.
1:23.0	And I feel like he fit just the whole Mississippi State community. He just fit us like a glove.
1:29.0	And so, yeah.
1:30.0	I'm so sad for our players and for his assistant coaches and obviously so sad for his family.
1:37.0	But I just, I think over and over, well, golly, we were just the luckiest to have almost three years with him as our head coach.
1:45.0	And he will, he will for sure be missed.
