Lol do you think the average fan gives a shit about what Kirby Hocutt has to say. He is a politician after a soundbite and the internet chatter that fuels shit like this is not real life.

All this over pieces of bread, my position is literally can we please talk about literally anything else. I could not possibly care less. About this or any grievances anyone has about what ADs and/or conference commissioners have to say to each other.

Doesn't sound like you are having much of a conversation to me. I'm calm as can be, my point is that this thread exists to make fun of your shithole university and we'll talk about whatever we want. Currently that happens to be Kirby's campaign against tortillas, which by his own admission, he leaned into himself this summer.

Which one?

Also based of my very unscientific observations of my friend group's resident Tech Alumni this tortilla toss business isn't getting forgotten anytime soon. Dude is 100% on tilt wanting to burn college football to the ground over the tortilla toss ban. Been trying to make quasi legal arguments of why Oklahoma States paddle people should be banned too since the paddles "enter the playing envelope", and of course this whole thing is really UT's fault for throwing trash on the field during the Georgia game last year...

I love Tech football and other sports.

I used to think the tortilla tossing was a cool tradition, but it has gotten entirely out of hand.  Fans were given ample opportunity to police themselves AND maintain the tradition.  They failed. Miserably.

So fuck it.  If people throw shit, usher them to the exits.  Bottom line.

Big XII TItle game will either be Arizona State vs. BYU or Tech. Cincy has at least two losses coming. I think everyone would much rather see ASU and Tech play again. That would be a great rematch to watch. If those two are playing they should both get an invite to the playoffs.

Either game would be entertaining as hell....I would say Houston could luck their way up there but I don't think they survive this weekend. Probably lose to TCU and Baylor as well.

I would like a BYU v ASU rematch thank you

There's also another scenario where (probably involving Sam Leavitt getting hurt again) ASU loses a couple of games (like their two remaining road games) and it ends up being Tech/BYU.

I can't seem to find it but I read a scenario a few days ago where we end up playing BYU 3 times.

Shit if it's ASU vs Tech in a rematch I might buy a ticket to the CCG. That would be epic.

Snake bit is right.

Doesn't help we have an OC who continues to call QB-designed runs even though the QB is injured (talking about Morton, not Hammond....Hammond's was just freak bad luck, non-contact).

So help me God if Leftwich calls, or Morton checks into, any QB run on Saturday I'm done with this team until we get serious coaches who aren't fools in place.

Burton saying he heard a rumor if McGuire doesnt get it done this year (whatever that means, big 12 championship?) there could be interest in Lincoln Riley.

TLDR it got Streisand'd by the Big 12 office in the offseason so the fans said fuck you and the tortilla throwing has been amplified this season, and then the Kansas coach made a big deal about it in the week leading up to our game, then he lied about someone throwing a knife from the stands at one of this assistants and then the Big 12 fined him for lying about it and also fined us for throwing tortillas. Big 12 then amped up the fine so Tech officials said enough is enough and banned tortilla throwing. The dumbest fans are making a big deal about it on Twitter and everyone else is just shrugging their shoulders. It'll be forgotten about soon enough.

Lol, no it won't. It will increase and amplify because people are fucking stupid and will quadruple down. Think Cracker Barrel logo, but for the second half of an entire football season and probably for the next several years.

Just want to point out that I was completely right about this, the only people that gave a shit were the Twitter freaks who always make every little thing a big deal. Everyone else just shrugged their shoulders, went to the game, and nobody threw a damn tortilla.

I do appreciate the K-State trolls that were throwing tortillas in Lawrence this past week, though.

USA Today projects Texas #9 on the road in Lubbock for round one. 4 weeks left so likely clickbait but nonetheless.

As I understand it, conference champions aren't give an automatic first round bye this year.  So USA Today is predicting Tech to not be ranked in the top 4.

That would be a great game because it would show McDui and Cody Campbell what parity in talent really looks like. I don't actually "hate" tech the way some do, I guess because I have two cousins and friends who graduated from there, so I've been to so many games and met a ton of solid tech folks. At one point I hadn't missed a game between us vs them until around 2014? or so. Then I just checked out because we were just so bad. I went to a few games like when ND came to town and mostly marquee games and the RRS.  I would like to actually see how far ahead they are vs other Big XII teams to gauge if they're more in the realm of USCe who has some 5* talent but you can't count on them, or if they're just Kentucky with a better QB most years.

88 passes attempted. Wow. Has that ever been done before? That's absolute negligence to your QB. The fact he hasn't had to have elbow or arm surgery to this day with the way he was used and gets hit is nothing short of divine intervention. I know he had wrist surgery, but how his arm is still intact should be signed up and studied by scientists for The New England Journal of Medicine.

I'm not sure but I seem to remember Hawaii with Timmy Chang or Colt Brennan and some games with some ridiculous stat lines.

Mayfield had just under 200yds less than Mahomes, but with 52 less attempts and 25 less completions. 75% comp percentage, 7TDs, 545 yds, 21yds per completion. Pretty amazing.

Yeah, Mayfield's stats were pretty bad ass, and I hate myself for acknowledging that. 

Forgot about Hawaii with Chang and Brennan. Wasn't Brennan accused of rape or something at the time? I seem to recall he was actually a USC commit but something happened.

We squeaked out wins against two of the worst teams in our conference and lost to 3-5 Florida who fired their coach after they beat us. This is not the time to get cocky about the prospect of playing in Lubbock in the playoffs.

Or about a "McDui" coach when your head coach literally got fucking fired from a prominent head coaching job because of his alcoholism, literally in the same year.

UF: That Florida team has more talent in its two-deep than tech has on either side of the ball. It's a coaching issue witth Florida, not a talent issue. We lost to a team that had as much talent as we did, with a QB who happened to be ahead of Arch in learning since he played in real games, and he's not some 3* kid punching above his weight. He was the #3 overall player in the country and #1 QB. He has high 4/5* WR's he's throwing to, and a run game. Shouid we have beaten them? Based on record ar the time, yes. But Sarkisian got out-coached, which has already been an issue, we had the worst OL in the country because Flood, but we can't say we lost to a team with lesser talent. That same talent took Georgia to the wire. Transitive property or not, that team has the skill to beat anybody if they had a modicum of coaching. 

Miss St: And again, getting out-coached has been a problem, but Lebby can coach, we see that, and the blame goes to both Sark, Flood, and PK regarding Mississippi State, but the heart of our defense, our defensive QB, Taaffe was out, and it shows how much he's needed. Regardless, the Mississippi State offense is miles better than tech, but defensively, yeah, they're fucking abysmal. This same Mississippi State offense somehow has Brennan Thompson with over 700 yards receiving and 6 TD's. Yes, the same Brennan Thompson who was a pussy at both Texas and ou. He has 100 more receiving yards than our #1. They also have two RB's with close to 500 yards a piece, combined with 13 TD's between the two. 3 players who have 19 offensive TD's. I would say that's a pretty fucking impressive considering what they were last year. It's embarrassing that we had to come back and go to OT against them because our offensive was more necrotic than a body Ted Bundy keep going back to for pleasure. 

UK: Kentucky, yeah I've got nothing. That's just inexcusable, but the Arch from that game and the CTE Arch we have now are miles apart, as is the OL. Every team has a game where they're arguably punching below their weight and playing to the same level, which again, Sark loves to do for whatever reason. I will call this our mulligan game, but realistically Arch and the OL had no rhythm as we were starting a true frosh tackle at G for the second time (really the first since his start against UF didn't come until the 3rd when Sarkisian knew he was getting clowned by a then fixing to be fired coach, but the defense showed up against a frosh who was 31/39 248 and an INT, while Arch was an embarrassing 12/27 132 0/0. Rock fight

Vandy: I don't care if they were overrated or not, they were still ranked #9 with a 24-year old QB and a weapon at TE in Stowers and WR Junior Sherrill. Arch absolutely lit their asses up, but we took our foot off the gas because derp derp derp, Sark. Their comeback was almost 90% ref-paid. Unbelievable bullshit calls on par with the Rig XII, which if we're being honest, it would not surprise me in the least if they were in that conference at some point in their careers. The 2-pt pylon bs, the no-call DPI on Moseley's endzone missed catch, the roughing the QB shit against Filsaime that unsurprisingly wasn't reviewed, or can't be, I don't know. But yeah, Pavia and co, as much of a pussy as he is, would still take tech to the brink, if not outright beat them. We still put up as much points on them as Bama, but Bama didn't get screwed. 

We beat ou's ass with a switch my grandmother personally picked out. 
 

We, like most teams have gotten better, and some worse. I can say with confidence we would beat tech if we had to play them Saturday. Would they put up points? Yeah, probably. We've yet to shut out a team not named SHSU. Would we? Without question. I don't know what clicked in Arch's head after his concussion in the 4th or whatever, but he not only got better, but our line play got better. I'll also say tech would have no answer for Burke, Simmons, Hill, Lefau, Brad Spence, Hero Kanu, Ty'Anthony Smith. We lead the country in sacks with (34), which honestly surprised me. Sack leaders - Simmons (8), leads the country, Hill (3.5), Lefau (1), Smith (1), Taaffe (1), Kanu (2), he's been a blessing, Burke (3), Trey Moore (3), Maraad Watson (2), Muhammad (1), Lance Jackson (2), Spence (3) another blessing who is a beast, January (2), Z. Umeozulu (1), Orogbo (1) I keep forgetting about him. Even our front four are getting to the QB. It's our secondary that's been the issue the last 2 games (sans UF's 29 pts in week 5), not the DL front. Guilbeau is absolute dog shit and someone needs to step up so he can step down to the bench. But he's the only one with experience on that side of the ball, so we're stuck with him. Littleton has been the biggest surprise, #7 in tot tackles on the team, with 31 tot tackles overall, and 2 INT'S, 2 PD, 1 fumble recovery.  Guilbeau is #6 in tot tackles with 34, 1 INT his entire career, and that was this year, 3 PD. He's been picked on repeatedly the last 2 weeks because we don't have Mcdonald or Taaffe backing him up. 
 

Taaffe has been out the last two games. He's #3 in tot, with only Hill (#1) and Jelani Mcdonald (#2) ahead of him, and Mcdonald was also out last game after the 1st qtr I believe, as was Muhammad, so we had to play Filsaime (RS-FR), Jonah Williams (FR), Kobe Black (SOPH), Derrick Williams (JR). That's not a recipe for success with only Williams having started for the first two seasons and coming back from a torn ACL. Everyone else basically has mop up duty experience. 

We even now have a power-up with Niblett finding his balls and taking them to the house in 2 out of the last 3 games. Niblett is #2 in total yards with 420, behind some kid at Louisville who has 2 more yards, but Niblett leads the nation in avg. Our DL would push their o-line around due to sheer strength and size combination. One of their top OL is listed at 6'0 290, and their starters are a mix of an FCS transfer, a MAC transfer, and a transfer from UNC. Only two returning starters at C and G. So no continuity going into the season. As for their defense, it's hard to tell considering the league they play in. I have no idea, and the Rig XII is massive step down from the SEC/B1G. Their OOC schedule was an absolute joke, so pick between a winless a winless in conference Oregon St at 2-7 overall, a 3-5 Kent State, or an FCS bottom-feeder AR-Pine Bluff. Tech has beaten one ranked team, #17 Utah. 

I guess we will find out how good they are (I guess) when they play BYU Saturday. They are still coached by Joey Mcguire and got beaten pretty handedly by Sam Pittman's Arkansas in their bowl game last year.

Meh..... BYU beat Utah by 3 at home, tech beat Utah by 24 in Salt Lake City. And outside of that Utah game, BYU's schedule is pretty fucking soft.  I don't expect tech will have much of a problem at home with BYU. And what the fuck does last year's bowl game have to do with anything?
