Well done!

5 mil. He'll play about 25 games if he doesn't bruise his pu55y.
yeah that's a lotta pizza.

Red Raiders are not messing around. Things just got real.

Stay tuned…

I was wondering how Tech would outdo last year's preseason HYPE (with a 5star signing), that preceded your big OT win over Abilene Christian. and a 5 loss season.
If you put a freshman on your OL it'll be funny to watch.

not as funny as watching the most overhyped college qb ever continue the expectations crushing horn train.....

And that 5 loss team we had last year still beat the team your overhyped Sarkwagon lost to in the playoffs.....

Who believed the raider preseason HYPE last year, but then cried all over his keyboard....

Tech was outplayed, outcoached, outphysicalled, outdisciplined by an FCS ACU team that was 5-6 last year.

ACU deserved the win
Joey and his head cooordinators should be fired today


funny stuff

"What about THE TWLEVE?"

"The twelve?"

"You're scared of THE TWELVE, ain't you?"

"Uh... no I ain't."

"What is in THE TWELVE?"

"Nothing! There ain't nothing in THE TWELVE! But you ain't got no business going in there anyway. So, stay out of THE TWELVE. You understand? Stay… OUT!"

The Texas game was scandalous! I saw 38 missed targeting calls!!!! players at numerous positions leading with their helmets, helmet to helmet, two helmets one head, helmet to head and neck areas, it was awful.


The State RB and QB were amazing. Those two guys deserve an award. Zona state was tough. I also like their coach who said after the game, "what is targeting? nobody can really even explain to me what targeting is."

"McGuire is in way over his head" (confirmed by 5 subsequent losses)

Excelente! More Big 12 star power.

Most folks haven't realized that the power paradigm has shifted in college athletics.

And now it's too late.

Stay tuned…

Not bad for an also-ran. Probably paid him softball pitcher money.

Weird to post this here

Anyone think it odd that for years the perennial powerhouses broke the rules and paid players, but now that it's not against the rules and Tech's doing it better than anyone, it's somehow tainting college football?

What record will Joey need to save his job now that the obligatory sacrifice of coordinators has been done?

And seriously, I don't think it was cool for WSJ to describe Tech as an also-ran. between Leach and KK and Mahomes y'all have had a number of notable folks come through Lubbock that sets you slightly above "also-ran."

Gosh it is fun reading tehc and t.u. fans having a vagina slap fight in a Texas Aggie fan site.........

Just the two Lone Star Big Boys discussing Big Boy things. The two best athletic programs in Texas have a lot to discuss.

Stay tuned...

Just two little attention hoers begging for attention
By the way, you must have forgotten SMU made the football playoffs, thus have a good case for one of the two best programs in the state

I sure know I forgot.

Hmm, I must've missed SMU making the Elite Eight in basketball and playing for a softball Natty?

Football is king, pays for all the other money losing sports (spoiler alert- which is all of them), so more meaningful.

But I said Tech and UT have the two best "athletic" programs, not just football. Please leave the discussion to the Lone Star Big Boys.

Just because you're fat, doesn't make you a sports "big boy"- just saying.
You and your ilk remind me of Mayo in an officer and a gentleman when the DI tells him to leave and he sobbingly yells "…but I ain't got no place else to go…" Maybe one day, you guys will be importantly enough to have your own fansite.

B12-0, will just 3 losses and a bowl win save Joey's job?
coach on the hot seat, program spending cash crazily to stay relevant. wild contracts to teenagers.

One point of view is that Tech football is in a chaotic situation coming off a 5-loss season. kind of like a squirrel in the throes of death. and there's a burning wall of money between your delusion and reality.

Speaking of "Boom"…..not only did UHgrade land the best 5 star QB in the nation….but also saw two 4 star wide receivers commit to UHpgrade.

It is beginning to look a lot like Fritzmas….

Go Coogs!

Good question, and one I've been struggling with as well to answer. Tech has to get to the playoffs this year, that is certain, and though most fans would be thrilled to only have three losses, there's no way a three-loss team gets to the playoffs unless their school's name starts with the letter Alabama, Notre Dame, or Ohio State. Joey has to do it this year, no excuses, but not sure if Tech would fire him for a three-loss season. The powers that be would probably freeze up NIL money for the next season and start looking for a new coach to replace him after a .500 finish.
