Texas Tech is hiring a new Head Football Coach
Million dollar question. His next good football hire will be his first, going back to his time at Miami. Everyone says, "But he hired Beard, he hired Tadlock, Track is awesome". Well, allow me to retort: 1. Beard: That fell in his lap. Anyone with half a lick of sense would have gone after Beard the moment Tubby submitted his resignation. I'm sorry, but I can't give him credit for that one. That was the quintessential definition of low-hanging fruit. 2. Tadlock: Again, low-hanging fruit. First, Tadlock was already on the Tech staff. Second, everyone knew before Kirby ever arrived in Lubbock that Tadlock would be the eventual pick to be the head baseball coach. Kirby would have been fired if he had NOT named Tadlock the head coach. 3. Track: Doesn't count. Wes Kitley was at Tech before Kirby. 4. Other sports: a. Don't pay the bills. b. He whiffed twice on women's basketball coach. Kirby should have been fired at the same time as Wells. This disaster of a hire was all on him, as was KK before him, as was the Miami coach who sucked.

Every school that's ever played OU can appreciate this meme.- klanaggy pirate @ soldier texums :: 6pm SECN
My first thought as well.- Battle for the Iron Skillet SMU vs TCU on FS1
SMU has scored more points. hope that helps.- College Football Imperialism Map 2021
Ah, got it. That makes perfect sense. Thanks!- College Football Imperialism Map 2021
I don't understand how Montana doesn't have any of the state of Montana??- WVU @ Maryland, ESPN
#9 gonna get his ass chewed by the ST coach. If he had just looked to his left he could have made the block to spring his teammate into the EZ.- Realignment talk not going away
Wow, I feel like Tom Hagen all of a sudden. Tech is out? I didn't think we were bad a consigliere.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Matt Wells doesn't know jack squat. He needs to just focus on football at this point and figure out how to no longer suck. Maybe if he had done a better job coaching the past two years we would have better TV ratings and be in a better spot to land in PAC12.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
That site is a beating. I quit reading it years ago. So did a lot of others, apparently.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Somewhat. But the transfer portal, NIL, and the "super league" are going to finish off the job.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Tech checking in. Crickets from Lubbock. The administration either (1) has absolutely nothing going on; or (2) for legal reasons has to keep quiet. My bet is on #1.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Well said. I think what ESPN and the SEC and others don't really realize are the numbers behind the numbers. I think fans of "Tier 2" schools watch their conference mates play in other games because there is a related, vested interest in how those games turnout, or in how one conference is matching up with another. If we are relegated to a 32 team super conference/premier league and then all of the rest, there are going to be a lot of viewers who used to watch those tier 1 matchups who no longer are interested because there is no longer any connection to their team and/or region. I don't think that manifests right away, but over a few short years it could be. And then ESPN is going to wonder why these matchups aren't pulling in the viewership like they used to. CFB doesn't work like the NFL, it just doesn't. So making an NFL junior will not ultimately work. One this is for certain: It's going to be interesting to watch it play out.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
You're missing my point. CFB had a unique brand. This will destroy that. It's now NFL 2.0. It's like Coke coming out with "New Coke" to compete with Pepsi by basically eschewing it's recipe for Pepsi 2.0. The fans didn't like it. Full disclosure: I'm an old fart in a relatively young body. I think the jumbotrons were the beginning of CFB giving up it's unique gameday experience. This is just the final step in the complete conversion to a minor league of the NFL.- Realignment talk not going away
I can't handle all of the irony in that. ESPN is the architect of this whole thing. Doesn't he understand that the people who sign his paycheck (authorize the direct deposit) are the ones he's upset with?- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
In my opinion, that would be the only scenario that saves CFB from a fan-interest standpoint. If this happens, you keep a lot more fans and interest. But if the other scenario of only two mega conferences with a total of only 32 teams happens, then I think after a few short years viewership drops dramatically because it's basically NFL 2.0 and CFB would have successfully shot itself in the foot by ruining what made it unique from the NFL.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
I'm guessing the AD was Kirby Hocutt (Tech) and the "high-ranking Texas source" was Chris Beard.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
If the MWC and AAC had an illegitimate love child...- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
1. No, Grandpa Bill. The Big 12 is dead. 2. I'm a Tech alum and do not feel what UT did should be "illegal". At this point, ESPN is the evil truly behind the demise of college football. I'm not going to be interested in a semi-pro league where you have the same basic matchups every single year. Nothing about that sounds appealing to me. I hope Tech lands on its feet in the Pac 12/14/16 whatever, but I am not looking forward to what "college football" is going to look like in the next five years. I already hated the product that is today's game experience (jumbotron that fills every second between plays, blaring loud commercials and music, etc.) If I wanted that, I would go to a pro game. I miss the college football of just 20-30 years ago...where it still felt like you were on a college campus. And if I think it's bad now, just how much worse will it be when there are only 20-30 teams in the new "league".- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Truest thing written to-date.- Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
As someone who is deeply entrenched with SMU and Dallas, I can tell you this is false. Tech outdraws SMU 10:1, except maybe at The Barley House.- Realignment talk not going away
1. I think the legislator from Lubbock is just doing that to make it look like he tried to fight for Tech & Lubbock. I personally wish he would not do that because at this point it's a done deal and Tech needs to focus on making itself an attractive candidate to the PAC-12. 2. Like Yuk said, there is no way the Pac 12 or Tech would do anything publicly until after the UT/OU move to the SEC is official.- Realignment talk not going away
The Big 12 will be no more. And that will be a good thing. As a Tech alum, I am hoping we end up in the Pac-12/Pac-16. I would like to see us, Okie St., KSU, and either ISU or KU packaged together to finish out the PAC-16 (either one of KU or ISU is probably headed to the Big10). I hope Baylor and TCU end up relegated to the AAC. - 2021 TX/OU MS Paint - Gif - Meme Thread of Dominance
