  1. No one thinks it is, but it does help when it comes to trying to analyze what's going on with Texas Tech football.
  2. We had a pretty good power run offense under the guy before Leach.
  3. "Chris Beard will never leave Tech. His family is very happy in Lubbock, and he has the 5th highest salary in the country already."
  4. Actually, multiple coaches before Leach also proved it was possible to win at Tech. The issue is rather that Kliff, using his superior good looks, convinced everyone that it must be hard to win at Tech because he couldn't do it.
  5. We don't actually think this. Most Tech fans would be thrilled with Traylor.
  6. He was the OC at Tech under Tuberville, but our offense sucked when he was at Tech. Besides that, he was the only guy Matt Wells could actually beat, outside of Kansas (who he even lost to once).
  7. Sonny Dykes is a also a Lubbock native that played baseball for Tech.
  8. Tech fans should know as well as any fanbase in the country that not every 5-2 is a good 5-2. If you got suckered by this team, you're just fucking stupid. (EDIT: They sorta had me going there at one point.)
  9. In retrospect, it doesn't seem quite so bad, but at the time, the whipping Tech took in Austin in 1995 (48-7 UT) really hurt. That was my senior year at Tech, we had a really solid team with Zach Thomas playing his last year, we had beat UT in Lubbock the previous year with the biggest final margin ever for a Tech win over UT (33-9 Tech), we had a big over A&M earlier in the season, and the game was more or less a showdown for the SWC title. We got killed from the start of the game, never competitive. It was maybe the only big downer amongst a lot of other good memories that season. That was also the game where our punter got killed by Tony Brackens, creating an evergreen UT highlight, so that's another reason why I hate that game.
  10. Someone needs to tell him that Surly has already determined that it's un-possible for Tech to ever be good at basketball again.
  11. The problem is, there's only one Liberty University but so many candidates to coach there.
  12. Two more wins to bowl eligibility. Best get your mind right.
  13. That was a win as fuck. I'm celebrating.
  14. Sonny would take the Tech job in a heartbeat if offered. He's Texas Tech through and through.
  15. It doesn't help when 4 of your best players are out.
  16. Good win for WVU, even if it didn't need to be so close.
  17. He'd make a perfect AG for Texas, and by perfect I mean horrifically bad.
  18. Probably closer to where they'll actually finish than Everton is.
  19. If the season ended today, Everton would be in the Champions League.
  20. No person representing Texas Tech in an official capacity has ever publicly bitched about UT prior to the SEC news, unless you want to cite Mike Leach complaining about the refs after a Tech-UT game in the mid '00s.
  21. So OU and UT are leaving because of an unprovable hypothetical? Huh. I thought it was for more money.
