Give it up for Texas Tech head football coach Mike Leach: He might be the only man in America with something good to say about airlines or airports.

At Big XII (see, we’re cool and use your silly roman numeral thingy. Pay us the royalties now!) media day in Kansas City, Leach said the press could interview his two star players, Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree, in Texas. How should they get to Lubbock? Well…

“I recommend (Dallas’s) Love Field because (Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport) can be a confusing mess,” Leach said. “Love Field, about every hour, goes to Lubbock, Texas, where we have some great steak places. And we’d love to see you”.

And that started a chain reaction where, for the first time in world history, an airport or airline actually responded to a complaint. DFW officials offered Leach a guided airport tour, a “great Texas steak” (good lord people, enough’s enough about the damn steaks!) and a complimentary flight through American Airlines from Lubbock to Dallas. Not only that, but DFW CEO Jeff Fegan and the entire executive team will meet Leach at the gate.

“While I know the season is upon us,” the nauseating press release said, “we would enjoy making this a fun event for you and your family. In fact, it might turn into an Airport tailgate!”.

Please, gag me someone.

To his credit, Leach said the offer was nice and he might just accept, if he has the time.

So mental note to everyone: You wanna find your lost luggage? You want an answer why it costs money for a sandwich? Just yell at a conference media day. Works like a charm.
