Comments on: Lady Raiders upset No. 8 Texas, 65-62 http://www.redraiders.com/2009/01/10/lady-raiders-upset-no-8-texas-65-62/ Texas Tech University Sports presented by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:58:50 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: LMII http://www.redraiders.com/2009/01/10/lady-raiders-upset-no-8-texas-65-62/comment-page-1/#comment-12693 LMII Mon, 12 Jan 2009 16:52:58 +0000 http://www.redraiders.com/?p=5093#comment-12693 I agree with x806x! Come on Tech Fan 86, give the Lady Raiders some credit. I have been critical of them this season for their play, but not for what they have represented for Texas Tech. The Lady Raiders brought national attention to this university years before our football team did. They were a perennial powerhouse with a raucous, enthusiastic, and loyal fan base. I am one of those fans. The heart, pride, and just toughness of so many of those Lady Raiders was just enormous. If I am critical it's because I want them to be the elite team that I know they should be---that they are capable of....NOT because I am being ironic or denigrating. I am looking forward to their ascendancy back to a nationally elite team. WRECK'EM Lady Raiders. We love you. I agree with x806x! Come on Tech Fan 86, give the Lady Raiders some credit.

Okay so you don't like women's basketball, we get it, but your tag is tech fan, we won act like it. Why try to put us down? If you do not like the sport don't watch it, and don't read or comment about it. Oh..., but you are trying to be sarcastic and funny... not working, and trying to get under the skin of your fellow Raider fans, not cool, and very little of you. Anyway, great job girls, Guns Up and horns down! Tech Fan 86, wow really….. Okay so you don’t like women’s basketball, we get it, but your tag is tech fan, we won act like it. Why try to put us down?

You can just sit there. You don't have to do anything. It's fun for the elderly. Womens basketball is great! You can just sit there. You don’t have to do anything. It’s fun for the elderly.

That's a direct quote. By the way, he won MANY state titles.

It is always a high moment in the season for me. This victory made me so excited and hopeful....then I remembered....oh yeah, we beat UT at home last year, were 10th in the league (bottom dwellers), we lost to MIssouri and just about everybody else. How different is this team? Let's see: almost didn't get it done AGAIN at the end because of defense. They threw away a large lead, and squeaked this out. Good side--the girls are young and they remained gritty. They withstood the onslaught of a top ten team that has beaten some very good teams. IF these girls stay focused and realize that EVERY possession counts, that you have to take care of the ball EACH time, they really might surprise us all and become the sleeper team of the year. I wish Coach Curry and the girls that destiny. I know that they all work so hard, and that Coach Curry has so much fire to win. Now, if she can just continue to instill that in these ladies. GREAT WIN, Ladies, and the best of luck for the remainder of the season. IF YOU BELIEVE (and execute) YOU CAN DO GREAT THINGS!
