    So, y'all might remember Bob Stoops from 2008 who didn't mind running up scores on opponents as a way to impress the poll voters and did what he could do to make sure the land thieves got into the national championship game.  It worked for him, although the best team that year ended up in the Fiesta Bowl.  Do you think Herman will do what it takes to make sure the Horns can impress Pollsters to get us in the playoffs?  Or will he win respectfully?  As you know, Mack was too nice to do that, but Stoops didn't have any problem.  I don't think we'll have to worry about that this year, but starting in 2019, I fully expect us to competitive.  Thoughts?

    Thoughts?

    stoops enjoys a bag of dicks.

  2. The way you can judge a TV show's success is like a movie.  If the ratings hold in week 3, then it really is a hit.

    People tuned in due to curiosity and marketing by ABC.  I personally think she's fucking nuts but I actually liked the nostalgia it bought back from watching the show. 

  3. ...but they were good people.

    • Four Texas Tech players were arrested and booked into the Lubbock County jail on Sunday morning, according to mug shots and records posted by Inside the Red Raiders publisher Jarret Johnson.

    The four players are quarterback Jett Duffey, wide receiver Quan Shorts, defensive back Desmond Smith and linebacker Christian Taylor. Duffey was booked at 4:15 a.m. on criminal mischief charges, Taylor at 4:48 a.m. on criminal mischief charges, Shorts at 5:08 a.m. on disorderly conduct charges, and Smith at 8:07 a.m. on disorderly conduct charges. All remain on the Lubbock County jail’s active roster as of press time.

    Duffey, a sophomore from Mansfield, Texas, appeared in one game as a redshirt freshman in 2017, but is expected to compete with junior McLane Carter for the starting role this fall. This has not been Duffey’s first disciplinary issue in Lubbock, however. He was suspended by the university for the spring and summer sessions of 2017 after the Texas Tech Title IX panel determined he had “nonconsensual intercourse” with a woman in April 2016. Duffey was named the Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Mr. Texas Football Award winner during his senior year of 2015 before enrolling for the spring term of 2016.

    Shorts is a junior from Humble, Texas, in the Houston area. He has 14 catches for 233 yards and two touchdowns in 18 career appearances. Smith, a junior from Odessa, Texas, started at cornerback for the Red Raiders last fall, collecting 46 tackles and one interception. Taylor, a junior from Houston, appeared in all 13 games in 2017, registering five tackles.

    Not that there’s ever a good time for four players to be arrested, but Sunday’s arrests are an especially bad one. The Red Raiders’ men’s basketball program meets No. 1 seed Villanova for a spot in the program’s first Final Four at 2:20 p.m. ET today in Boston.

    Texas Tech did not respond to a CFT inquiry seeking comment, but one is presumably coming at some point today.
