Culver…um, Tech won last year. So by all accounts, that means that Tech was the better team. You UT boys need to quit huggin the trees so hard and squeezin your boyfriends hands so tight, it makes you look darn right silly.

Did anyone else notice that every time Potts would run up and bark to his center and line that he was changing the play to a run. Seems our running game would improve if the defense wasn’t tipped off on each running play. Go Tech!

Tech put up A fight , how-ever , they still lost . You cannot accept losing , just because you lost by ten points . Everyone is talking about how hard they played , but what about Texas . If anyone would have told me that Tech would have 3 points at the half , I would have said that you crazy . Let ’s give Texas credit for playing good defense also . Tech is improving every year , but if you cannot beat Texas on A consistent basis – playing hard means nothing . Accept the truth and that is Texas is A better team every year .

I know this doesn’t appear in the stats…but what the heck has happened to the Tech Band? I’ve seen every band since 1970 and this is without a doubt one of the worst efforts I’ve ever seen. Have been at home and at UT…their songs are “artsy” but not powerful marching songs given with little emotion and the rows and spacing are horrid. Without a doubt the worst halftime shows I’ve ever seen a Goin Band give. What’s up with that? I thought we could always count on winning halftime, but not this year. Even tiny North Dakota’s band outperformed us and they drove for 24 hours and got there 30 minutes before gametime. Where is the spirit of Dean Killion?

Although Tech didn’t dome out on top, it was truly a great game to watch. Much closer than what the score showed. Hats off to Texas, they did a great job. Colt McCoy is a great kid.

What is inexcusable is the fact that Texas Tech is not ranked. This is the system that is flawed.

It’s been in the rule book for at least 10 years, and probably longer, that a QB can’t simulate “taking a knee’ and then come up and run a play. It’s inexcusable for Leach not to know this.

The refs got the call on the trick play before halftime exactly right:
