You fellas just ain't gonna let me wallow in my Eeyore moment, huh?
If you two are going to remain optimists, someone around here has to play the role of the pessimist.

OK, but why is this more relevant than how we played in our 5 wins so far?
I feel like we've regressed a bit. Somewhat due to Bowman's injury, somewhat to coaching adjustments, and somewhat due to the defense getting back to its undisciplined ways.
But look, I'm 45. I've been watching Tech play football since 1980. To me, it just feels like we've slipped back into our recurring pattern of following up progress with regression.

Did you happen to watch the last two ISU-Tech matchups? It was kinda the same thing in those as this year, except this year we kept it close. I mean, they beat us by, what?, 50 something points when we had Mahomes at QB, and you're surprised they made it hard for a true freshman?
Yes...I'm more upset that Tech was its own worst enemy this past Saturday. It is a recurring mantra with us.

I just don't get this "we lost to ISU so we suck" business. They're a very good team, and we lost a competitive game to them in Ames while not playing our best.
We can beat OU and UT. Not saying we will, but we can. Weaker Tech teams have beaten better OU teams than this one.
I agree...ISU is a very good team.
But it doesn't change the fact that we still have an undisciplined team at times making stupid penalties during key moments. And it doesn't change the fact that Kliff, to his detriment at times, can be extremely stubborn. And let's face it...he got outcoached Saturday somewhat due to that stubborness.

that ISU loss must really have stung you.
Yep, it did. As did the WVU loss. I know, I know...we played much better after the first 1.5 quarters of the WVU game...but still. That was just bad.
This past Saturday against ISU I saw our HC/OC get completely out-coached. He could not adjust to the ISU defense at all. At one point I was like, just put Jett in so we can at least throw some sort of different wrinkle at them.
And even though a couple of the penalties were pretty ticky-tack, a couple of them were just fucking dumb that extended the ISU drives. Why even give the refs a reason on 3rd and long to throw a flag? Just really dumb and lack of awareness of the game situation.

i think if texas or tech wins their game this weekend it will be at night.
We aren't beating OU.
We probably aren't beating UT.
If we don't screw around, we should beat BU & KSU. Thus, 2-2 over the next 4 games, finishing with 7 wins. That may be enough to save Kliff's job unless he just gets absolutely humiliated in the bowl game. But by then all the good candidates will have been hired anyway, so he's safe for another year.

I sure could have used those six points lost when Gurley decided not to run in for the TD at the end.

Wow. Some of you really don’t understand the concept of sarcasm, do you?

That looks like false start to me.

I respect Texas Tech. Posts like this make me rethink that. You guys played a great game and came up just short. Tech will still have a good season. I'm not going to go full Sam Ehlinger vs OU but damn. Stay classy Lubbock.
Why? Because I'm frustrated at lack of discipline and poor game calling and poor game management year after year after year?

KK has lost 3 straight to IOWA FUCKING STATE.
No one should still have a job after that.

Well Bowman has been the MVP for Iowa State.

God, we’re desperate to fuck this up. Gifts from refs, Bowman, nah, we’ll fuck this up of course
Hey now, Tech wrote the book on fucking things up. Dumb penalties and retarted play calling trump anything ISU has done today.

Freshman gonna freshman.

Nevermind. Bowman is going to take the job over from the refs instead.

Like finish them off?
No. Like PF calls against Tech that are utter bullshit.

We are literally dropping this game. ISU AF
Don’t worry. This Big 12 crew is going to take care of you

You have to be fucking kidding me. I don’t know this modern game of football.

That mom was kind of hot.

How did Johnson not intercept that? It's like he had his eyes closed.

Tech looks fairly competent on defense, it's very confusing.
Well except for all the fucking penalties you mean.

He got a targeting call for doing exactly how I was taught to tackle.

He hit him in the chest. I hate these new targeting rules.
Tell me about Texas Tech

It is quite possible that he is not entirely stable.
