    where Dallas takes a 1 point lead with 23 seconds left in the game, kicks a touchback.  and Rodgers throws a wounded duck 35 yard sideline pass and Dallas gets called for inteference, and Mason Crosby kicks the 57 yard GW FG.

    Or something like that.

    I mean one needn’t be “outside the tech community” to know it. All it requires is the execution of a technique known as “not sticking your head up your ass.” 

    I don't think it's so much about "pulling your head out", which to me implies a lack of intelligence (maybe you mean it in a different way), as it is about looking at the situation with a modicum of objectivity.  (For me, the truth is Leach was <10% of the problem - but was part of it - and the admin and GOB guys who made it happen were >90% of the problem.)

    Instead, most Tech fans' reactions landed closer to the two extremes of either "he fucked over my school so fuck him" or "Tech fired my coach so fuck Texas Tech for all of eternity! I hope Tech never wins another football game!"  And that's because too many Tech fans are thin skinned and hypersensitive and tend to quickly circle the wagons to defend their position as soon as things get difficult.  We're probably not the only fanbase like this, but we're collectively definitely like this.

    The saddest part of all this - besides, of course, the last decade of shit football we've been served up - is that while the GOBs back in the '00s definitely got scared that the football program would start to get too big for them to control anymore, the current GOBs are ready to pay a fortune to get us back where we were as of 2009.  Maybe they wouldn't be so determined if football hasn't been so bad for so long (with all the negatives that come along with being bad at football, besides just watching the futility on the field), but it just sucks that we had a coincidence of petty, small minded leadership at the same time that we could have invested in the future and built on 2008 instead of blowing it all up.

    The season is only a month old.  It's going to take time to figure out the best rotations.  Nothing about Beard suggests that we will still look like a hot mess on offense in March, but we'll have to wait and see.  The good news is that, while there is still room for improvement, the defense is going to keep us in most games.  

    Nothing, except for his two most recent seasons as a head coach prior to this one.

    Keep KSU and have Arky in the mix instead of Baylor.

    Obviously I'm aware that you can keep rivalries in different leagues, but it's a different story when the schools in question were never in the same conference.  OU and OSU have been in the same conference for 60+ years.

    UT and Baylor have been in the same conference for a lot longer than that, FWIW.

    Most of my local friends are all legit Horns or TShirt aggies, and tease for me being constant doom/gloom on my Pokes.  I need to send them here to see it’s a religion among us OSU folks.  Until proven otherwise I expect heartbreak.

    Though a senior-laden, experienced defense gives me hope they’ll perform despite Gundyball.  

    aggy would be doom and gloom too if they weren't so fucking stupid and delusional. They really should be.

    Keeping Cumbie for at least 2022 seems like a good move by the new Head Coach...  

    Yeah, I think it's a good idea to help the transition to the new regime, first and foremost, but I also think it's smart politics from McGuire not to cut him loose now, so no one can say Cumbie didn't get a fair shake.  I think he's a pretty mediocre OC, but there are a lot of Tech fans that still really like the guy.

    How can TCU possibly be that bad?  There is no reason they shouldn't be a tourney team at least half the time.  By my look, in what will be the 10th year of being in the big12 TCU has gone to the tourney exactly 1 time and doesn't look to be going this year.  They should be able to recruit 3* guys in their own backyard and get the job done.

    I don't think they really give a fuck, at least not relative to what they put into football and baseball.

    It wasn't so long ago that most Texas schools had this attitude towards men's hoops. Now it's just them and aggy.

    Bought $1 tickets to the Okie State v TTU game last night to take the kids (yes, tickets were $1 each). From parking, to stadium entrance to actual game atmosphere, it was pretty solid. I was impressed. The crowd was probably 75% capacity so that was cool as well. 

    The girls enjoyed the pregame festivities and seeing the tribute to the mascot that was being retired. 

    The product on the field, however, was terrible--and really for both teams. I was shocked that Okie State looked at inept as Tech. I went to a 4A high school playoff game on Friday night and there was more creativity on offense and passion displayed by the players. I was particularly shocked that Cumbie didn't go for broke and let it all hang out on offense. If you are going to score 0, do it with style. 

    We left a little after the third quarter started because everyone including me saw that it was not getting any better and we were all tired (I had gotten up at 3:30 a.m. to fish a bass tournament). 

    BTW, the biggest cheer of the night was when the suspended radio crew came on the field to help present an award to some retiring media producer that worked for TTU. Also saw several "Free Jensen & Harris t-shirts"

     

     

    They let it all hang out last week against ISU - and it worked - but I don't think they had anything else left to pull out of the bag after that.  ISU wasn't ready for our redshirt QB, but OSU was.

    I heard the tech announcers just today in the rant “I’ve never seen worse officiating ever” or whatever they said.

    My first thought was they are new and didn’t see the game maybe 10 to 12 years ago with that douche o lineman from tech with the clown paint that wrapped his arm around Rak’s neck and hurt his knee. Also the defensive lineman for texas getting a holding call. There was a video with all the phantom penalties.

    Oh well, suck it tech. Hurts doesn’t it?

    Since we won the game, no, it doesn't hurt all that much.

    The refs are trying their best to give this to ISU, but they're just sucking too much.

    point taken. Im fucked up but I meant Hudson Card. I promise I will post less when drinking.  Yeah, this season has made me drink more. I can wait another offseason though here on shagg. Thats where the most fun is anyway after so much of our failures. 

    First you mention Herb Hand, now Hudson Card and the Shag? Congrats on waking from your coma! You can resume now..

    But when are y'all finally gonna get rid of Greg Davis?

    So if Tech scored two more points against KSU, you think he'd still have his job?

    I would have thought so before that game happened. I never expected they would fire him mid season, but it sounds like one or more of the big money guys were already pushing to get rid of him and the KSU choke job was the final straw for them.  I'm sure Kirby Hocutt would have liked to have given him the last four games to win another one, as unlikely as that would've been. Wells was 100% his guy, so this is a big black mark on Hocutt's resume.

    That's why I asked the question.

    OK, short answer: he's not shown improvement this year.

    We've beaten UH (barely), SFA (even more barely), FIU, WVU and KU. We lost to UT 70-35 and TCU 52-31 (in Lubbock). We weren't competitive for even one quarter in either game.  Last weekend, we led a bad KSU team 24-10 at the half, then got shut out in the 2nd half and lost 25-24.  We still have OSU, OU, ISU and Baylor left on the schedule, i.e. the best four teams in the Big 12.
