I think everyone agrees with me when I say we have the personnel to possibly win a big 12 title. I think it is up to the coaches to narrow the players’ focus to one game at a time and play ALL three sides of the ball well EVERY game. I see our annual inappropriate road loss at Kansas this year. We always have a letdown after we beat a&m. Here’s to hoping I’m wrong.

Speaking of kickers, did anyone see the kid win that contest for free rent by kicking a 30 yard field goal? I was sitting right behind the goal posts and he booted it twenty yards behind the uprights into the student section! Someone sign that kid up! lol

I dont undestand why they are talking about getting a new kicker when carona had a perfect game…. i think he deserves a pat on the back instead

Last thought…..

Unless a tough/strong short yardage game emerges and unless Techs defense has transformed into a hard-nosed defense rather than a finesse squad, then it will be the same result as in recent years.
I do feel though, the defense tackles better. You don’t see the tackles being broken. I like that!!
But still not there, alot of open receivers at times.

True.

As a Texas Tech fan all of this feels familiar.
Whoop the teams we should whoop.
Then what?
Beat some of the teams we think we should beat, some beat us.
Teams we shouldn’t beat we usually don’t beat, but do well enough overall to go to a bowl.
We will have a good chance to win that bowl game, but no elite titles.
Some teams at this point in their season though(Texas A&M), would settle for a bowl game win, any bowl game, but we expect more. Call us spoiled, but we are ready to take it to the next level, and this year as much as I want it to be the year, it will not be the year.
This all feels familiar.

(As a mosquito goes across my computer screen)

I really do feel, next year will be our year.
I think the three year back-up, Taylor Potts will shine and stun and Texas Tech will be force to be reckoned with.

You’ll see, you’ll see…

Now, now Ed…… Mass is a good team. But they aren’t division 1. We’d love to play some good teams…but they don’t our type of offensive firepower that early in the season. It’s also hard to get teams to Lubbock….

Ed. Take a pill, sorry your school couldn’t ahng with the raiders, but why all the bull, All of the top teams have played lesser opponents this year so maybe you should call your coach and ask him not to try and elevate his program, because you don’t want to watch them take a little whoopin

Now Now don’t soil yourselves about beating a lower division team at home. Worst of luck on the “important stuff”!
