  1. No they weren’t you ignorant fuck. Their accreditation was delayed because they didn’t fully meet the assessment documentation requirements. It is literally one of the most common deficiencies in the 10-year SACSCOC review. They had it reconciled within a year. They were never in danger of losing accreditation. But please continue to spout bs that shows you have no idea what you’re taking about.
  2. That TT board on Austin 360 had some legendary folks who helped start a couple of the great Tech boards of all-time. Wreck'Em.com was by far the best board in 1999-2002ish. Ended up having a bit of a rivalry with raiderpower, which was started by folks that got their feelings hurt at Wreck'em. Most of the Wreck'em posters migrated to RedRaiderSports.com, which eventually joined the Rivals network and now it's part of the On3 network. Raiderpower never came close to matching the posters or the content at RRS, but RRS went 100% subscription and RP maintained some free boards. But it all started at Austin 360. There are people at RRS and RP who still have their Austin 360 usernames as their names on these boards. And I know a handful who have passed on as well.
  3. I got to work out with him at one of the Leach Fantasy Camps. He is genuinely one of the nicest people you will ever meet. And very, very, very fast.
  4. Iceman = slorch?
  5. I like how they tried to incorporate uniform elements from the different decades, starting with the 1920's:
  6. Wrong. The tortillas started at least 5-6 years before that. They were throwing them my freshman year in 1991 (not nearly as many as they would by 1995, but it started either then or maybe the year before in 1990).
  7. I didn't realize OU was this poor financially... https://x.com/TreyWallace_/status/1955801954053185789
  8. I would disagree with the "...including Tech fans" now thanks to the Football Ring of Honor. Made people look him up. Amongst my circle, though, we knew who he was and he was legendary, mainly because when Arch Lamb was still alive he would tell us stories about Tarbox (they were at Tech at the same time).
  9. I was at that game. You could see the PA open up and Sammy running free with no aggie anywhere near him. The whole stadium saw it, except for the 11 aggies on the field at that moment. Zebbie just had to get it close to him and it was an automatic TD. It was glorious. My only time I ever got to travel to an away game with the team. Probably saved Rick Dykes job as well (he was OC at the time and his offense was completely anemic). Getting on the plane, he looked like he had just lost his dog...had zero emotion after that win.
  10. Colorado at 8th FRIENDLIEST negates this entire list. Colorado is by far the least friendly opposing stadium I’ve ever visited. Absolute pieces of shit.
  11. Per Accuweather, it looks like the game will start on time, but the potential bad weather could hit as early as 8:00 (49%) but shoots up to 69% starting around 9:00 p.m. Would they move the game up to try and get it finished before the weather is expected to hit?
  12. He would destroy the court.
  13. I don't think so, Sparky... https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/45464899/nijaree-canady-signs-another-7-figure-deal-texas-tech
  14. I’m a Tech fan, and that was a horrible call.
  15. And of course, we lost that game. Our first shot at a MBB National Championship and the most famous sports jinx in the Lone Star State has to show up. 🤬
  16. https://x.com/TalkinTechPod/status/1929710709933592994?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1929710709933592994|twgr^|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=
  17. But you ain’t got no boobies, Lt. Landry.
  18. Well Horns, it was fun rooting against Ou together. Good times. But that is now in the past. And I’m going to play dirty. I’m going to kick yall below the belt. May Ted Cruz show up in person for the games in OKC wearing his burnt orange.
  19. Pretty spot on quote from a poster at Red Raider Sports: For those struggling for context. This is Texas Tech football in their first year under a new HC going up against Nick Saban's Alabama in the CFB playoffs and leading 21-0 going into the locker-room at halftime.
  20. Not sure why Glasco put the bat in the hands of someone who hasn’t batted yet in the WCWS, maybe not even in the regionals.
  21. That’s beautiful, man. Pure poetry.
  22. It’s not just you. Sign me up as well.
  23. 2021 - North Texas...as you state, that 13 seed beat the 4 seed. But that 13 seed was North Texas, whose only modicum of success prior to this was years ago under Johnny Jones, and they never had any postseason tournament wins with him. You left out 2023 - Won the NIT Championship at North Texas. North Texas. This is an underrated accomplishment because UNT just doesn't support the basketball program at all. 2024 - That 11 seed he lost to went to the Final Four 2025 - Elite Eight (so far) with basically a 6-7 man rotation
