Did anyone see him just say that we have the worst visting locker room? It sounded like something from the 90s which is totally un fair. When was the last time he coached against us anyways.

He thought it was awesome, previous interviews he's said thats what a visitors locker room is supposed to look like.
It's an exaggeration...
I can tell you that even the roughest locker room in the Shira Field House was never anything like Leach described. Were visiting teams put in the "Turd Herd" smaller dressing rooms? Yes. Were there nails in the walls? No. There were adequate bathroom facilities and showers for a light visiting team. There were benches all the way around the dressing room and individual wooden lockers behind every player's seat. There were two large wooden pegs to hang helmet and pads on however.
Leach has always been good with hyperbole... and we "benefited" this time from his skewed recollection of the Mississippi State locker room facilities.

On yesterday's radio show Matt Wyatt said that was '97 & '99 when Leach was asst @ KY and that it was true and that the home locker room wasn't much better.
I'd like to see a really cozy and distracting locker room for visitors. Have several Xboxes and Playstations with a huge library of games. Really comfortable chairs. Headphones with music. Netflix. Make it where the visitors want to do anything but go out and play. And at halftime, make sure the video screens are ready for them when they come back in. Ten minutes through halftime, kill power to half of the players TVs. They'll be going after each other to get to working TVs.
