Dating advice only a college football coach could give

NEW YORK, New York - Big-time college football coaches are a notoriously stiff and humorless lot, but Texas Tech coach Mike Leach does not seem too worried about his image. A freshman called his weekly television show asking for some recommendations for a first date he was planning, and he gave a rambling answer that included picking a restaurant that has "very little salad" so the woman would be "forced to eat in front of you", going to a coffee shop with "bizarre-looking characters" to give you something to talk about, and finally exchanging "computer schemes" at the end of the night if things went well.
