  1. NCAA is such a mystery on things like this. All other UNLV transfers were approved. And the NCAA doesn't have to state a reason.
  2. I'd be interested in seeing a little Maverick McIvor. Just out of curiosity. He is supposed close to a 100% at this point.
  3. Leach would have more than willing to return to Tech as long as they paid him the money he felt they owed him. This verified by numerous credible sources. Cody Campbell played for ML and is a friend. As one of the guys who writes the big checks he was willing to make it happen. Hocutt, like a dumb bastard, would have none of it. Of course it's worth mentioning, Hocutt has yet to make the first good football hire in his entire career, even going back to Miami.
  4. Good question. It's certainly not officially listed that high by the university and a number that's very hard to believe. You see his salary.listed at a variety of levels but with extra income that number is often cited.. I'm skeptical.
  5. Even though Hocutt makes over 10 million a year, 2 or three boosters passed the hat after lunch today and within 3 hours or so had already gathered a hundred K to pay Hocutt's fine.
  6. Dad is former head coach at Lubbock Monterey and Midland Lee.
  7. You're right about it not meaning anything. Thank you sir, may I have another? i don't know why the officiating crew couldn't at least get together after the play and discuss what each saw. Too much to ask though.
  8. As I read somewhere, the thing about this call that seems to set it apart some, is it appears we might have crossed the line between missed call and sheer incompetence.. The Big 12 today admitted they were wrong.. That and a few bucks might get you a cup of coffee.
  9. Pretty interesting non homer piece and video about the royal screwing Tech got in Waco today. Don't suppose I've ever seen as baffling a call. https://larrybrownsports.com/college-football/texas-tech-robbed-turnover-illegal-snap-penalty/518503
  10. I agree it's very unbecoming to whine about officials. I just don't do it. Further, I'm not suggesting Big 12 games are rigged. Pretty interesting non homer piece and video though of Tech getting a royal screwing today. Never have seen one worse. https://larrybrownsports.com/college-football/texas-tech-robbed-turnover-illegal-snap-penalty/518503
  11. Texas Tech has received commitments from what appears to be a couple of decent recruits over the last few days. Derrick Lewis, a LB out of Schertz Clemens who picked TT over Neb., Oklahoma State and others, as well as A&M Consolidated DB, Nate Floyd, who selected TT over Missouri and Ariz. Tech now has 18 commitments.
  12. There has been no formal announcement as to either the nature of his injury nor his playing status for this week end against Baylor. Informal word is that it's a concussion. If a concussion is the issue, obviously his playing status will be determined by his ability to get through the protocol.
  13. Chance Adrian Frye might be back. Would be a big help in the secondary. Good player and punt returner.
  14. TT is really thin right now at DB due to injury, but they played well enough. LB, Jordan Brooks, was the star of the show with 19 tackles, 4 tfl, 3 sacks, a forced fumble. He's been playing really well all year.
  15. Yost most certainly has a rep as something of a qb guru. He's given credit for his coaching of and association with Brad Smith, Chase Daniel and Blaine Gabbert among others.
  16. Nah, don't think at all we would have won or played them closer with Duffey starting. It was just what to me was a startling poor decision by Wells/Yost that I fear doesn't bode well for the future.
  17. I don't know if that's it or not, maybe it's just poor judgement in general that's the issue. I'm not sure. Something obviously possessed him to start a guy 99% of the people who care knew he shouldn't. It's not just me I'm alluding to here. Everybody (but Wells) was aware. Further, you saw how his decision worked out for him.
  18. I think he could be. Coaches make player evaluation mistakes all the time. He's never had a coaching job at a power 5 school. Even as an assistant. He didn't play at a power 5 school either. Of his last 4 seasons as a head coach, three have been losing ones. This in the Mountain West. Perhaps he had to experience personally, playing OU in Norman isn't the same as playing New Mexico.
  19. Well, of course, Maverick McIvor should be healed within the next 3 weeks and could see some action in 4 games and keep his red shirt. Actually, Tech has a qb commitment for 2020. He's the son of a TT asst. coach. Played qb at Bishop Gorman on the sub varsity level. As a Jr., he started at WR for them given the starting qb was already held by a Penn State commit. Moved to Lubbock this fall and is starting at qb for one of the high schools. Very athletic kid. Donavan Smith. TT also looks likely to get a 2021 commitment from Behren Morton. Pretty decent offer list. He's made 6 or 8 Tech visits already and has ties to the school and Lubbock.
  20. We'll have to disagree about that one. If he was trying to simply make a "work hard" statement then I think he'd have played Tyner more than 6 plays--especially given the futility of this TT team trying to win in Norman. At least put him back in the game at some point or something. Wells certainly didn't hesitate to give some of those recent transfers playing time in the early season in any attempt to provide a work hard lesson I think there's a good chance he's just that much of a dumb ass.
  21. The Rice transfer had seen very limited action in two of TT's previous games. He was beyond awful in those brief tries. Literally everyone, fans included, but Wells realized, even in spite of Duffey's shortcomings, he was the better option of the two. This was a guy who couldn't play at Rice and he's going to play against OU and 84000 fans and be successful? it took a total of 6 plays for Wells to become aware of how stupid his decision. Duffey played every offensive snap thereafter.
  22. He was a complete dumb ass for thinking otherwise.
  23. A better than decent example of your complete lack of objectivity, willingness to try very hard to criticize and desire to nitpick if that's what it takes in order to try and put ML in a negative light. He went to 10 bowls in 10 years at TT. Not wanting to give him credit for the Michigan State win is a laugh.. He only recruited the entire TT team, put it together, formulated and implemented the game plan, led practices and prepared the team the entire week of the game and so on. Absurd on your part.
  24. He pretends he's not being paid a lot of cash to get his team ready? Did you just hear him say in the video he didn't do a good job getting his team ready? I suppose not. And his teams "always" come flat for a bowl game? He won 60% of his bowl games at TTU beating among others, I believe it was number 3 ranked Cal, Michigan St., Clemson, etc. So if you're inclined to criticize, don't just make shit up.
  25. One coached baseball at UT, the other coached football at TT and WSU. So let's not pretend your silly little Augie to Leach comparison is valid shall we. Tho no title, it's hardly as if ML has had no success in the coaching profession.
