    I live in her district, and my impression is that many more want it, but those against, as usual, are making more noise.
  2. It's fertile territory for banter.
  3. The one and only time I went to a Texans game (in 2006), my buddy and I stopped at the concessions stand before heading to our seats after getting into the stadium, and there were not one but two guys in line in front of us wearing cowboy hats and aggy style denim overalls with shit written all over them (in maroon lettering), most of it stuff about the Cowboys. My friend I went with is a big Texans fan and a UT grad, but that image is seared into my brain and will always define Texan fan for me.
  4. Texags is all over the "but Hillary did it too" angle.
  5. The exact same thing happens with t-shirt UT fans at Tech home games.
  6. Lol @ 4. College football message boards tend to be prone to groupthink, but RP is particularly bad about that.
  7. You can say that again. There are a few good posters on RP, but it's mostly mouth breathers who live down to the worst stereotypes of Texas Tech fandom.
  8. Bad QB play very arguably cost us 3-4 wins last year, and I'm afraid it may again this year. (Bad place kicking also hurt, but that's more understandable, as our starting guy got hurt and most teams don't have two good PKs.) It would be ironic if that's what ultimately gets Kliff fired, but then his rep for coaching QBs got him the job, so "live by the sword, die by the sword" I guess.
  9. I wouldn't be opposed to that. Gibbs has far better credentials now than Kliff did when he was hired at Tech.
  10. How has UT been doing with their resources? In both cases, bad coaching decisions (i.e. bad hires, but also keeping Mac Brown too long in UT's case) has made for some bad football. That's it, just like TCU has succeeded by finding a good coach and keeping him.
  11. OSU started kicking our asses on the regular just after Mike Leach got fired. Coincidence?
  12. Is that you, Mom? How did you find out about surlyhorns?
  13. One of the best decisions Kliff has made as HC was to stop with the stupid uni designs in year two. Others, such as Okie State, press on however.
  14. Tech lands 4 star guard Kevin McCullar: https://texastech.rivals.com/news/red-raiders-land-four-star-standout-kevin-mccullar
  15. Agreed, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I think if they let Hocutt make the call, he'd hire a pretty good coach, but I don't think he's the one calling the shots when it comes to football.
  16. I know what you're saying. I did that the day Leach got fired (got drunk, but just watched cable sports news talking about it) and never have invested that much emotion in Tech football, or sports in general, ever again after that.
  17. Yeah, he's probably the safest bet because he has head coaching experience at a P5 school. I would also expect him to fare just about as well at Tech as Kliff has.
  18. Once that season ended, I put that one aside, i.e. I've never watched it again, though obviously it's hard to avoid seeing the one play by Crabtree. I knew that it could very well turn into some kind of fetish object with a lot of Tech fans, and it has.
  19. I would really hope we hire someone who doesn't have direct ties to Leach (or Tuberville) when they fire Kliff, but I know that's exactly what they'll do. The Tech big money guys who make these decisions really seem to want somebody who can run Leach's offense but has a docile, easy to control personality, so whoever's out there that's most like Kliff will be the next Kliff.
  20. As long as there is no alcohol in it, yes, human blood is acceptable for Mormon consumption.
