Yeah, never have been one to celebrate signing day or 'recruiting titles,' but am glad for the players we got. It matters more how they turn out. 
 

It's always a crapshoot.

That's a hot take coming from an Oregon fan.  The absolute closest comparison to what is happening at Tech now is what happened at Oregon when Knight started pumping in money, only they were a much, much shiitter program than Tech was before the cash.

I'm still puzzled how this narrative even got started.  Tech was outspent by several programs this year, including . . . wait for it . . . Oregon.  They spent $12 million more than Tech did on NIL.  Get fucked, Doug.

Biggest individual award at Tech since Crabtree's B2B Biletnikoff Awards.  CJM called out the D-line for making J-Rod so visible at the LB spot...  only for Cody Campbell and James Blanchard to break up the meeting and present the award to Rodriguez.

Awesome award.  Still work to do.

Go ROHO!  Wreck EM!!!

That wasn't Cody Campbell and James Blanchard.  It was Dick Butkus' son and Demarcus Ware:

If Tech had the offense when Crabtree was playing, they’d be unstoppable. He’s is a beast and it’s well deserved.

So J-rod doesn't get invited to NYC for the lil presentation by the DAC.

Guess he has to settle on going to Miami twice.

Wreck Em!!!

Enjoy outspending everyone else in college football and not even making the playoff lmao

Enjoy figuring out how weak your big 12 competition was once you start playing real teams in the CFP.

Has tech just landed their next QB from the portal???  (we all know what's undefeated)

Brendan Sorsby’s girlfriend committed to Texas Tech.

Yeah there were already rumblings that we would go after a proven veteran for next season because it wasn't clear if Hammond would be ready to start, but after he tore his ACL in week 9 it became a necessity because the nature of that injury means he won't be physically even ready to play until halfway into next season. Sorsby starts next season for Tech.

The conference this year was Tech and 15 randos. No one else in the conference did anything that mattered, including ASU. 
 

The runner-up in the conference had two shots at Tech this year. They totaled 14 points in 8 quarters. They had a grand total of 455 yards IN EIGHT QUARTERS of play. I will never not find this funny when it comes to BYU supposedly being good at football now. They are not and will not be.

However, Tech can’t help any of that. Their money guys threw obscene amounts of it at the team and it worked out. Money won’t win it every year, especially when the head coach is a middling buffoon that would have been fired and looking for a job right now if not for getting that cash infusion. McGuire is who he is and he’ll hold Tech back until Tech realizes it needs an elite head coach to go along with the players.

Tech’s defense should be good enough to keep them in the game no matter who they play in the playoffs. Offensively I am not convinced because they don’t really have an extra gear there. Defensively though I like them and @Iceman deserves something good from the football program after having to watch those clowns toss Leach out in favor of the James Family. I’ll also pull for Tech because one of my best friends had a daughter who played soccer for Tech and was really good before she graduated and went overseas to play professionally. I also always enjoyed the teams coached by the Pirate so Guns Up! Wreck ‘em Tech! Bring some tortillas to toss in the playoffs.

Let he whose 21 year old version of yourself would not follow this young lady to her next college destination cast the first stone.

No more academic smack and tard jokes. We just took transfer portalling to the next level. 

Anybody can just throw a bag at an athlete. But we are going to throw him a bag after we’ve portalled his girlfriend. 

This is 4D portal strategery. 

😂😉

I think the cost of doing business went down a little after portaling the girlfriend :)

Meh. That's how CJK5H ended up at SMU in the first place.

Can’t hate tceh for playing the game, can hate them for basically being exactly like aggy without the “golly gee” overlay.  There’s a reason the moniker sand aggy has stuck around here.

Tech has always under performed, so who cares they are winning this year, they should be the Big 12 champs every year without NIL.  Time to get used to it. But again, I don’t see them beating Ohio state or Georgia probably not Indiana, and well Texas A&M, yeah they could beat them, A&M ain’t that good. 

all I know is this guy must be proud

No one cares and the bolded part is just about the dumbest thing I've read on this board all year. Congrats, idiot. Go back to your cave.

Wait so Tech doesn’t possess inherent advantages in the Big 12 being a major Texas school with facilities and proximity to recruits such that Tech should be favored if NIL didn’t exist?

I think you just admitted Tech sucks donkey ass but for the cash payments.

nice work.

I assumed you meant our inherent advantages with regard to the Big 12 as it currently is means we should win the conference every year even without paying players, which would be an absolutely insanely stupid thing to say, but I think that's a reasonable assumption for anyone to make based on the shitty sentence structure, bad grammar, and general "12 year old that stole his mom's phone" nature of your posting.

And yeah, guess what, Texas would "suck donkey ass but for the cash payments", too, unless you are one of the posters around here that labor under the delusion that Texas isn't paying players.

I’m pretty sure they accept that it’s all because of Campbells money, just as I’m willing to accept that if Boone Pickens hadn’t built us a stadium and spurred others to donate for the indoor practice facility and other infrastructure we’d probably be in the new Pac 12 with Wazzu.

I have to be honest, I think Hammond is going to be a first round draft pick. I knew nothing about him coming into the year, but after seeing him play I am buying all the stock. The ACL tear is super unfortunate, but he is legit.
