I have a masters degree from Tech and don't even know who these people are.
It seems like every decision they make is not based on any kind of thought process about football but rather keeping their big money boosters and fans happy. Well, guess what: you don't win games, then people aren't going to be happy.
Had that Chancellor not gotten all butt hurt about getting out maneuvered in contract negotiations by Mike Leach and drummed up some bogus accusations in order to fire him, Leach might still be there. That set off a revolving door of coaches I've lost track of. They seemed to have arrived at the idea that there's enough coaching acumen (white guys who coached HS) in the area west of Ft. Worth to Amarillo to Midland (and maybe Odessa). Reminds me of the time someone joked that David McWilliams thought you could win with guys from Wink, Texas. Turns out, you can't.
I'm tentatively planning on going to Thursday night game on November 2 when TCU comes to Lubbock. Haven't seen a game there in ages.
