Fuck the elevation.  Is Wyoming gotdam undefeated in Laramie?

Tech has better depth and coaching allegedly.  WTF have they been doing the last 9 months?

I’ve personally seen them lose in Laramie but it was both more frustrating and colder than I would’ve liked.

I know, however:

1) Lubbock is 3200’, so it’s not like they were coming from sea level

2) Tech had a complete offseason to prepare.  They played well for the 1st quarter and then died.  That’s fucking coaching. You mean to tell me Tech was caught off guard by substitution scheming or needs?  Bullshit.  That’s what they get paid to do.

The day was fine and the people were cool, but once that wind got going I was regretting not hauling around a jacket. 

Yeah. I was walking around that day thinking "hey Wyoming is pretty nice! How come nobody lives here?"

That night: "Oh..."

I understand what you're saying, but what does Texas "throwing its weight around" even mean? It's said often enough, but is rarely followed by actual, concrete examples of it happening. It usually amounts to Nebraska, aggy, and others rubbing their vaginas. The only example I can think of is getting rid of partial qualifiers, thereby destroying Nebraska's future. As far as I can tell, that's it. That's the list.

It means “Texas used the LHN to package its tier 3 content and kept all the revenue to itself instead of sharing with the conference and supporting the fiction that ours has value, too”.

Big 12 will be 2nd tier, and if the SEC/Big 10 add Clemson/FSU/ possibly UNC from the ACC there won't be any tier 1 programs left outside of those two conferences. If they decide to form their own super league of top tier college football the teams would come from those 2 conferences plus Notre Dame. Some teams like Northwestern and Vanderbilt may get left out but I can't see any teams from the outside being let in other than ND. 

The big 12 is becoming the new Mountain West. It's just how it is but by all means be delusional. 

But Prime is coming…

Kansas didn't share their Tier 3 basketball revenue, but all you fuckers didn't give a shit. 

Sorry you didn't get your handout, leech.

Elevation is no joke when you're coming from lower altitude.  Simply try taking the stairs at 7,000 ft and see how long you go before your sucking wind.  

All this talk of 7,000 ft elevation has me thinking of some tasty 7K IPA from Santa Fe Brewing.

Edit: Damn, first time I've had the AB effect on a pic.

I was there, but I don't really remember who won that game.

I honestly have never been that drunk at a game.  And I've been really drunk at a lot of games.  Some genius on this board had the foresight to call over to a bar near campus to get them to open at 8:00 AM, which is when I showed up and started pounding the 9.1% ABV double IPAs they had on tap (I think they were brewed on site).  That was a huge mistake a 7,200 feet above MSL.

We went back to that place after the game.  I have some vague recollection of standing on a table singing The Eyes of Texas.

That's all I have to say about that.

I was warned about the altitude but I’ve done my share of drinking at 8400 so it wasn’t too bad. We walked around a lot and I think just about everyone offered us beer of one sort or another  

At least you remember enough to know you had a good time, so there’s that.

The coldest game I've ever been to was the 2004 Vegas Bowl where we lost to Wyoming.  Fucking froze my nuts off.  But warmed them at Crazy Horse II later on.

The coldest I’ll mention by opponent was Nebraska 2002, mostly because we were out there for 12+ hours. The other was in Dallas in January.

Is this douchebag serious or what....he didnt even mention the DVD programs! How they gonna be the cool kids of Texas without a DVD program. And nicknames...does Joey have a cool nickname yet? Is it "High-school"?

Quote

Joe- Thanks again for lunch. Great to hear how much success you are having.

Recap:

Redesign masked rider logo- More nod to the Spanish heritage of Llano Estacado. Think the six flags and the image of a masked rider. I suggest you consider allow a test on how the logo works from a design element stand point. The past logos the designer thought looked cool. Its a nightmare to design around for artist. We need to see how well a new logo drops in under multiple elements.

Bring Back Vintage masked rider and double t logo for vintage graphics. This is the most requested art from the TTU fan base that we can not deliver. It would open a whole new world to design..mainly because its flat. The 3-D versions of logos are limiting in terms of design and production. We are missing a flat logo that will sell.

DVD programs- Let me help with the distribution to make it more successful. We can coordinate designs like OU did with its program. When you have time let me know how to get these DVDs of womens BBall at wholesale. I will reissue the 1993 national champion shirt we did and make it a combo.

Kliff- Can rest. We need to craft his image. His agent doesn't give a damn. He has his money. TTU always successful when it works outside normal channel. Normal channel closed down by media outlets.

Pete Carroll= worked an angle of the Rock and Roll Coach at USC. It was placed. He was seen with Rock and Roll bands & music industry execs.

Bill Synder= Works as the wizard. Does more with less. Media loves the wizard angle.

Mike Leach= the strange one. Offensive genius. Media loved the straight forward answers. He embraced the strange answers with the press and grew his image.

Phil Jackson- Zen Coach. press loved talking about the Zen approach to basketball coaching.

Bear Bryant- Father of coaching. Media loves talking about the "sons of the bear"

Tom Landry- The Gentleman. The Hat.

Kliff- We place his nickname..GQ, Hollywood, Swagger..(we talk to him and see what we can place) we need to dial in Kliff's style and hammer it as a the "cool kids" here at Texas Tech.

Starting point: if we are going to place KK in the media spotlight. He must be spot on in terms trend & look. That is what we can hang our hat on... I have reached out my friend and owner of Fred Segal LA. http://www.fredsegal.com/ He has dress and made the image of many stars: He has helped style Micheal Jackson, Brad Pitt, Madonna, Ashley Olson, Bruce Willis, The Beatles, Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert. List goes on. He's a go to guy for helping read and place the stars image in terms of looks. I sent him Kliff's pics. He said he would help me put Kliff in what on trend for his style...and more importantly body type. If he puts his signature on Kliff, then Kliff also gets introduced to the Hollywood A-list. He will then assign a stylist to Kliff for season review and help.

Middle point: We hire a branding firm out of LA that specialized in getting our boy on the B-list. We need him to be seen at NY fashion week, some Hollywood events, and the hip scenes around the nation. ( I know we have a firm working the TTU image) I suggest we use a firm that specializes in placing people in the scene. I am told there is 3 main firms. Why? We get B-roll for your normal sport channels. (espn , ABC, ect) We ask Under Amour to help with the cost of branding their coach.

Middle Point two: I help you get TTU logo and merchandise placed in Music, TV, and Movie. Goal: to make that logo cool. Love the logo, find out about our team. Its what happened to licensing in the early 90's. I saw it work. Why? you guys are killing it with our fans base. I want to help open the brand to a national fan base. WE WERE ON TRACK in a huge way with MIKE....60 mins ect. We can do it again with Kliff.

End point: By year two....I want Kliff on a cover of national magazine. I want him invited to bigger events in LA and NYC. Oscars, Grammys, ect. Everytime he is seen in an unconventional setting....TTU get free advertising. We need this to level the playing field with TEXAS. Also, we can turn the tables on TEXAS. its old, tired, its the Nike to your kids generation.

UA showed us....we are already the team that wears the cool brand in Texas. We can brand as the Hippest school in the game. Swagger on and off the field. It will draw stars to lubbock and the program. You have a two part machine. UA investing big time in the image of the program and Kliff (the need another coach to sit with Steve S at USC) They need an icon that can knock down NIKE huge list of personalities. They are missing this in all sports. (Kirby can sell the hell out of it to Kevin, but its about striking at the right time...soon while we are hot) He will get it. We need a $1 billion firm helping to power us. It Kevin best investment in college sports. Maryland is his love, but TTU is his best investment. We need him to consider adding additional funds to help grow UA's TTU investment. The more we win, the more it pisses off Nike in Austin. It's a natural cool kids school, with cool kids clothing brand. Offering the firm in LA 100K to get kliff into
the b-list is chump change for the return and image for UA. Kliff=GQ and Kliff only wears UA for sports.

I have more but I have to run to meeting. I did not proof read, because of time and you know where I am going with this Joe. I am typing as fast as my mind is thinking, so excuse my errors.

ALSO- We need UA to start by PLACING Steve S and Kliff in a national college football commercial. We need Kliff side by side with a power figure to set a tone day one. We need him elevated in the national public mind. KEYWORD FOR THIS MONTH.....NATIONAL. You are killing it in the state......you took risk by interviewing 3 coaches with no head coach title. Now consider risking on unique channels in blowing up the brilliant hire.

All humble opinions and ideas...I would not be a good friend to you unless I keep pushing you for greatness. Keep charging!!! Rip the wave...don't ride it.

This hits close to home. I coached my daughter's 4th grade soccer team in Houston. We played a game that was probably 55 degrees and half the team was convinced they had frost bite.

Just some slapdick from lubbock who went viral about 10 years ago when sand aggy was convinced KK was the next Saban.

I played junior high football in Amarillo (we moved to the coast before I started high school).  That ground when it gets cold is hard as concrete by November because the grass has been torn up and it's just solid, rock hard frozen tundra dirt.

80*C would be…. Uncomfortable

 

 

appreciate it though, I didn’t know you could do that on an iPhone.

good catch, 80℉.  On the iphone, type 80 then hold down zero and the degree symbol appears and slide finger over to it.  I have 3 teenagers in the house, they are my IT dept.

I did too. Mighty Rebels were undefeated in sub-zero temps. 

Yeah, I should clarify and say once, I didn't grow up in Amarillo so it was pretty shocking.

"Texas used the LHN to package it's tier 3 content and kept all the revenue to itself after the rest of the conference rejected Texas' idea for a big 12 network to share tier 3 rights, and after A&M rejected Texas' offer for a joint-network once the other 10 members balked and that makes everyone so mad"

I very much doubt he'll have to roll out of bed to neg it. Loser sleeps with shaggy on his phone cradled close to his heart, because like the public loser Mormon he is, he can't get enough of his embarrassment fetish.

Hopefully this is an interesting matchup, and not a blowout with Shough facing his former team and Nix finding  redemption in Eugene.

I'll be in attendance.  Not real optimistic after seeing our lack of speed and scheme last week vs. Wyoming.  But at least I may be watching the eventual Heisman winner for the first time in-person since Robert Griffin III.

Laramie 2009.  Freezing.  Flew into Denver and rented Harleys with hubby and friends and rode up for the game then rode around Wyoming and Yellowstone NP for a week.  Never experienced windy conditions that bad before or after.  Also remember many WTF moments early on in that game.   Good times.
