Mississippi State’s Mike Leach Doesn’t Care for ‘Dink and Dunk’
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — It's never boring with Mississippi State coach Mike Leach.
Even the first question on the break out of the gate Monday afternoon got him off and rolling when the phrase "dink and dunk" got involved in the very first question.
Absolutely perfect.

The Bulldogs beat Arkansas on Saturday, 40-17, and the first question brought out one of the buzz words that can trigger one of college football's best quote machines.
He was asked if quarterback Will Rogers was dispelling the notion of the Air Raid being a dink and dunk offense. He was 31-of-48 for 395 yards and three touchdowns through the air in the win over the Razorbacks' out-manned secondary.
"Every time I hear that it says more about the person that refers to the person who refers to it as that than it does the Air Raid," he said.
And, here we go.

With Leach that's how it goes. You just give him an opening and takes it to the house.
Which, really, is how his offense works.
Listen to the complete video here for about as good of a condensed description of the offense as you will get.
And keep counting on Leach to deliver these gems.
