Two minutes into Mike Leach’s interview with 710 ESPN Seattle’s Danny, Dave and Moore on Wednesday, the WSU Cougars football coach wrapped up a fascinating explanation of the Finns driving Russia out of Finland early on in World War II.
The question Leach was answering? How the Cougars’ first meeting of 2019 spring football went.
If you’re familiar with Leach or the previous times he’s called in from Pullman to chat with Danny, Dave and Moore, the fact that he would have a reply like that might not be all that surprising. It doesn’t make it any less enjoyable.
Normally we would transcribe some quotes from such an entertaining interview, but with Leach it’s always better to hear what he said than to read it.
