College football fans are generally idiots. Reading the stuff that is written about Tech’s HC situation is almost painful.

“Kliff is going to Bama as an OC and Bowman is transferring with him.”

“Bob Stoops is coming to Tech.”

Here’s a post from 2011 that has me feeling depressed about where there Tech football program is:

Tech has beaten 21 different AQ BCS Teams since 2000.
Tech has been to a Bowl Game every single year since 1993 except for 2010

Since 2000 Texas Tech has won more games than..

Penn State
Iowa
Clemson
Tennessee
Arkansas
Alabama
Notre Dame

they have won more than over 100 FBS Schools since 2000.

Aside from last year Tech has won 8-11 games every single season since 2002, and this is while playing in the Big 12 South.

The played a National Title Participant in...

2000
2001
2002
2003
2004
2005
2008
2009

Other games of note..

Its not like they have been playing anyone.
I would love to see a list of all the ranked opponents teams like Boise State have played since 2000. It wont be this long.

And although TTU has not had the toughest OOC schedule. They get down and play with the big boys every year and when they go to Bowl games they usually beat BCS teams or barely lose to them.

They have no Big 12 Titles, but Texas Tech is...

2002 Tangerine Bowl Champs (beat Clemson)
2003 Houston Bowl Champs (beat Navy)
2004 Holiday Bowl Champs (whipped #4 Californias ass IN California)
2006 Insight Bowl Champs (beat Minnesota)
2007 Gator Bowl Champs (Beat Virginia)
2009 Alamo Bowl Champs (Beat Michigan State)
2010 TicketCity Bowl Champs (Beat Northwestern)




I have no problems with Tech. They play the big boys before every season is over and they compete every year. And you know what? They beat them lots of times.

TEXAS TECH's BEST VICTORY Each Year since 2000
________________________________________________________________________
2000: beat Oklahoma State 58-0
2001: beat #17 Texas A&M 12-0
2002: beat #4 Texas 42-38
2003: beat a (10-3) Ole Miss team that finied #13 in Oxford, and hung half a hundred on them.
2004: beat #4 California in the Holiday Bowl (also beat Nebraska 70-10)
2005: beat Nebraska in Lincoln
2006: beat A&M at Kyle Field (this A&M team was 6 points from being undefeated and going to the NC. Cal blew them out in their bowl game though and all memories of said A&M team have faded. lol)
2007: beat #3 Oklahoma
2008: Beat #1 Texas
2009: Beat #13 Ndamukong Suh's Nebraska team 31-10...in Lincoln
2010: beat #14 Missouri

I think Oklahoma loses today. This is a game where I don't think they'll be able to overcome their own defense.

I think West Virginia wins something like 53-44.

Maybe so but the defense of WV isn’t all that great.. O State pretty much scored at will on them and beat them. It will be another horse race.

Apparently he’s having emergency surgery because of internal bleeding. Prayers for that dude.
I thought they always performed surgery immediately for breaks like that.

Supposedly, the initial report is that it’s a dislocated knee cap and no determination has been made if there was a fracture or ligament damage. I find no ligament damage hard to believe, but I’ll hold out hope.

I really hope Lincoln Riley says screw and and attempts a couple of onside kicks tonight to try to steal a possession or two. Because that's about the only way I see them getting a "stop".

So Lincoln Riley and then a middle round pick on Murray for Dallas... The next Russel Wilson.

Murray's already guaranteed millions playing baseball. Dallas would simply be wasting a pick if they drafted him. On the other hand, I guess using a 7th round pick on him wouldn't be too bad if you just wanted to secure his rights in the event he washed out as an MLB player.

[MENTION=22]Texas Ace[/MENTION] the rematch is set.

Early prediction is 48-44.

The winner will be whoever has the ball last.

Yeah I've read he will play baseball. It is sort of odd that he wanted to play a year of football anyway. Sort of makes me wonder if football isn't his true love.

Very likely.

I'd love to win that because we'd get a NY6 game which I never would've thought was possible before the season started.

11 wins, a Big 12 Championship, and a NY6 Bowl win would be amazing. I'd be over the moon.

Still, while I would be a little disappointed if they lost that game, I would still very much be happy overall with how this season turned out as 9 wins and a shot at the Big 12 title is more than I could have expected. All I was hoping for coming into the season was a real sign of progress and a reason to believe that the arrow was finally pointing up for us.

I think that Texas has clearly accomplished both those things regardless of what happens in that game versus Oklahoma, and I can't wait to see what next season has in store.
