URGENT MESSAGE! Please read…

All kidding aside, there are rumors going around that there is chance that Florida and Alabama could end up playing for the National Championship. Basically, the argument is that the BCS has them both ranked so much higher than Texas and the rest of the teams that even if they play for the SEC Championship(which they will), they could end up playing again for the National Title. Meanwhile, Texas has to stay undefeated and win more convincingly. We could perhaps afford to lose one game at the most, but either way at the end of the regular season, we need to have defeated as many ranked teams as possible. The more the better Texas looks in the eyes of the BCS people. So, we need you Tech to win the rest of your games and win big to ensure you get ranked in the BCS poll and stay there. The same goes for O-State, Kansas, and perhaps OU. Only then could Mack Brown make a compelling case to get Texas the BCS nod to play in Pasadena against either Florida or Alabama. So, we need Tech and the rest of these Big 12 teams ranked and winning so that Texas gets to play for the National Championship and bring the trophy back to Texas where it belongs. Right?

Ah, too bad, hope for a speedy recovery for Sheffield. We are praying for you Sticks. Potts, bro, come on we need you to keep winning. Come on Tech, get your guns up…

Report this comment

Wow, really! Sheffield has done a great job. But this is kind of funny. Potts goes out with a concussion, then Sheffield shines, now the roles are reversed. Hopefully this A&M game will give Potts a chance to get on his feet and gather his thoughts. Best of luck to both QBs. Hopefully @OK St Tech can run a dual QB system, not that Leach would do that!

Sticks, you get better little buddy. Come on Tech fans, it’s time to rally around your team and make sure you win big. If you look good, we look good to the BCS system. See, who said Texas and Tech fans couldn’t get along?

Well looks like this would be a good time for an injury to occur (if there every was a good time.) Potts is back in the saddle, which can be a good thing. Hopefully he has had time to get his head right. Whatever QB is in I support. Lets go Taylor….. I want to see you earn that starting position back.

I have full confidence in Potts. He will get the job done. Remember, he was leading the NCAA in passing by a wide margin at the time of his concussion. If the Defense will keep doing their job we will be fine until sticks returns for the OSU game. Who knows, the concussion may have knocked some since in to Potts.

Sorry Texas fans, but in a perfect world O$U BBQ’s some cow in stillwater and then our dearly beloved Ags destroy your sesson. That is the only way that the Big XII can put it’s best foot forward.

Since TT’s D came alive and the O hit it’s stride, any rematch with you guys would just result in an arse whipping for the horns. Sorry but your little pony just can’t measure up any more as teams figure out that UT can’t run and he can’t throw deep.

Tickles me to see a whorn wanting us to help them out. Maybe y’all should’ve thought about that about 500 troll posts ago. The only reason the rumors are flying around about Florida playing Bama is because UT is a distant 3rd in terms of quality. Don’t know why, but any fool can see UT isn’t the team they were last year. Why they would want to go to the NC game and get humiliated is beyond me. Maybe they ought to stick with Ohio St where they belong. Or one of the other undefeated but not very good teams like Boise State.

The difference between us and them is that we are getting better and better this year. And just wait till next year when the whiners come to Lubbock.

Its nice to see tech play as a team on both sides of the ball, makes me think of the days when tech’s defense was pretty tough when we had a linebacker named Zach Thomas. With a few breaks we definetly could have been undefeated this season but as in life it happens. Now everyone knows when you plat Texas you have to play the refrees as well. Its sad to see a UT fan in our website asking and begging for our teams help to make them look good. I thought you should be judged by your merit not your crying and begging. Of course you must of followed the Mck Brown 10 steps of cry, whine, beg, plead,lobby, and make excuses to make yourself look better, oh can we forget how to bail your players out of jail prior to a game
so if you want to look good actually get some class and a coach who can coach and not be a lobbiest, hell you sure hes not a congressman? anyway i am proud of our team, hope they beat the dreaded aggies and continue to improve.

I lean in your direction too Techfanski. Potts is good. Was great in high school, but looks like he has lost his touch in college if you ask me. Too long a lay off or what. If he truly was a gamer, like Sticks, we would’ve beat both UT and UH when we had ample opportunity. But we did not. He gets the job done for a 7 and 5 team, but Sticks OR DOEGE! go to 12 and 2. I’d love it if Potts could get us there and hope he does, but I would not bet on it. What I’d bet on tho is the Pirate will leave him in long enough to nearly embarrass us against the Ags and probably lose in the 4th with Kansas just agonizingly like at UH. Please go with the hot hand Coach Leach and if Potts stumbles after 3 or 4 drives please don’t get brain-locked on us and get DOEGE in there. We are a blessed team with several good QB’s. But just you wait til Scotty Ryan gets here and Doege grads – ooh – the field won’t be long enough for opponents and our stadium won’t hold enough people!!!

Good luck Potts. This is your chance buddy, so have fun and put on your dancin shoes!!!

Is this pony boy thing for real or is it sarcasm. Colt gets hurt riding a horse. Now thats funny. Potts will be fine because football is a team sport and the rest of the team if they are the competitors that they are will rise above the adversity and kick butt. As for the ut whorns, I personally would like to see them lose every single contest in every athletic event until the end of time. I would like to see the school burn down to the ground and the ashes swept out to sea and then eaten by the ocean wildlife and then crapped out onto the ocean floor where it will be stomped on by a yet to be discovered species of animal that has anger issues. I REALLY HATE UT. Why would some utie patooty be here asking TTU for help to advance uts chances of NC. Sorry, I know its just a game. Dear god i pray that whoever the TTU QB is on saturday that he throw for 750 yards in the first quarter and keep doubling that in all subsequent quarters. Amen. To colt: Please die.

Dude, Bernie. Chill dude. I hate UT too but don’t wish anyone to die. Sup with that. Let it all play out. The experts had it all worked out last year and they were wrong then too. As for Potts, what happens if he starts to play like he is supposed too, throw 8 TD’s, no interceptions, ect…. We still rally behind him. Not because it’s A&M (which where are all those fans on these message boards) but because it’s who we are. By the time the OSU game rolls around, and Potts is playing well, we could have a full blown QB controversary, which is a true distraction. Gotta look at the overal picture and not just 2-3 weeks.

This football season has been very uneasy for myself and I’m sure the rest of us TECH fans. There is a strong possibility that we will go in to next season not knowing who are true starting QB is. What is great about this though is that we know and all the sport pundits know is that we have a arsenal of QB’s that can come in and do the job….now that to me is satisfying. Potts…go in there and fight for your job because you know the guys behind you are going to do the same. GO TECH!!!!

BTW….no way tu gets in the NC they are so washed up on themselves….and brown will clog up the television once again this year before you know it….actually he kind of has already. Lastly, it just seems to me that arrogant tu fans are trying to put mccoy’s so called legacy over young’s…that is how distorted tu fan base is. Really the best qb in tu history….get over it he has not shown anything close to being a HC.

To all TTU fans, I have witnessed 2 of Potts’ starts this year. I can count the number of times Potts checked off his primary receiver on 1 finger. Also, Potts has the worst throwing mechanics of any TTU quarterback during the Leach era. Unfortunately, I believe that A&M and Kansas will now pose much more of a threat.

Tech could beat A&M with there 3rd string kicker playing QB. How bout we have a throwing contest before the game with three fans and the winner is the QB for the game. We kill Kansas State by 50 and Kansas State kills A&M by 50. Lets win by 100 and show everyone how great the faggies are.

Not knocking Potts here. Just stating the facts and the obvious. I hope he plays lights out and up to his potential. I’ll be the first to send praises if he does so! High tide raises all ships!!! That being said, ibrab is spot on.

A&M has everything to prove and nothing to lose at this point. This is one of those trap games. I stated the same before Tech played Houston. This week has an eery similar feel to it.

This is one of those weeks that is real coaching challenge. Tech coming off a big win and being ranked for the first time this year. Starting QB gets hurt. A&M is reeling from a disappointing blow-out loss and is ready to prove something. Our Red Raiders better come out swinging their swords!

If Tech plays the way they have the past two weeks, they win by three TDs. If they revert back to a level of play as in Houston or New Mexico, you’ll see an upset.

I’ll always pull for Tech, but will also post it as I see it.

Good Luck Taylor!!

This week will be an opportunity for Potts to redeem himself. And you know that he knows that! He has seen how the team rallies around Sheff and how their support seems to swing in Sheff’s way. But the main thing to remember is that Potts started the season as the starter! There is a reason for that. If Leach didn’t think he was capable then he wouldn’t have received the starting nod. Potts is going to come out and make things happen. He has been practicing hard and he knows there is a lot rinding on this. As Red Raider fans, we should all get behind our QB and our team. One guy doesn’t win a game. It takes a team effort….we’ve shown this year that we are capable and we can do it! Go TECH!

Wrong! Alabama and Florida are so much better than that rag-tag team Texas has this year that I would rather see them play twice than see an undeserving TU team play in the NC. Heck, I’d rather see SEC vs. USC. You barely beat Tech, in Austin, and that was pre-Sheffield and minus a healthy Baron Batch. You barely beat OU minus their two best players. TU & Boise State are the most over ranked teams in the country right now. There’s no way you are going to get through the rest of the schedule.

It Potts is not 100%, we should go with Doege. Because Potts does have some strange looking mechanics, you can bet that he is being coached about it ……… and that has probably been most of his trouble. He is thinking about mechanics instead of just playing the position. Tech beats Aggie and Jayhawk regardless of who plays QB, and that gives us plenty of time to have the best man for the job ready to go for oakie lite. GUNS UP !

How would Texas getting cremated in the National Championship help the Big 12 look better? Have you not seen Texas this year? Let’s see, struggled with Wyoming up until the half, stuggled with Colorado until the half, struggle with unranked TTU the entire game (sorry, it wasn’t a blow out UT fans, despite you bragging about the net with the video that vividly shows a helmet to helmet penalty that didn’t get called), struggled with a #20 ranked OU & only managed to pull out a 3-point victory because Bradford was out for 3 quarters. Don’t worry, Texas, your days are limited at the top, despite whether or not Tech wins, and then you can go back to doing what you do best, have your boy Mack “make a compelling case to get Texas the BCS nod “. When did crying become a part of college football?

My prediction, OSU settles this unsettled Texas teams’ over-rating.

I think that Potts is going to suprise a lot of people this Saturday. He has a point to prove, and that is that he won the starting QB job at the biggining of the season. He was doing fine until he got helmet butted by Kindle in the TU game. I feel that Potts has had plenty of time to clear his head. Tech is superior to A&M on all 3 sides of the ball. Tech will handle A&M with no problem. I am usually afraid to talk like this before an A&M game but we are playing in the Jones, and Tech has a very talented team again this year. Those are two things that the present day Aggies can not handle. This is only a dangerous game if you let yourself believe it is. As Leach often states “we need to go out there and just worry about doing our job”.

I agree with you East Techsan. Tech is better than A&M on all sides of the ball. However, the best team doesn’t always win. The team that plays the best wins. I believe Tech is better than Houston. I remember when a better Tech team lost to Navy because Navy played better. I also remember when Tech beat a better Texas team several years back when Kingsbury was the QB.

If A&M plays like they did against OSU and Tech plays like they did against New Mexico, A&M may well win the game. As Coach leach says, if Tech goes out and worries about doing their job (and actually does so), we win w/ whoever starts at at QB, but it is a dangerous trap game none-the-less.

This sounds crazy, but I’m more concerned with the A&M game this year than KU. Too many variables to discuss here, so will sign off. Looking forward to discussing a big win this weekend!

A light bulb just flashed on in Potts’ head. It’s the miraculous, healing promise of redemption against A&M. He’ll be there all right, throwing off his front foot. And Rev. Carter will be in the pulpit giving a sermon his line mates can tell their grandkids about. They’ll be busy on all of those draws, counters and screen plays Leach will call between homeruns.

As for the defense, they are probably camped at the 40 yard line waiting for kickoff. Talk about a 12th man, it’ll look like 15 or 16 out there on Saturday.

Special teams: there are strangers in the house. Sick ball! Erxleben: take an extra step, make the Muttleys run and fetch.

Fans: It’s Halloween and the Aggies will be wearing the masks, so let them know how normal people feel about them. Do it for Rodney Allison, do it for all of the vandalism A&M feels entitled tp leave behind in Lubbock, and for still believing that Tech isn’t good enough to be in THEIR conference. Oh, and for hiring “The Village People” as cheerleaders.

Win the game so that when Texas loses two down the line Tech will go to the championship game. Because right now, Texas Tech is the best team in the Big 12.

I think Tech will either hang 80 on the Aggies or we will lose by 3. This game scares me. Good Luck to the boys in Red and Black.

Figures…we get a little momentum and this happens. One of two things will happen: (1) Potts realizes he’s a marked man and plays lights out; or (2) Potts realizes he’s a marked man, panics, and forces too many throws resulting in a very poor performance, multiple INTs, and Heaven forbid, a loss. He just needs to realize that there are more receivers than just Swindall and Leong. Make your reads, spread it out, and dominate! OL, keep em clean!

So, if Potts plays good for the next two games…who gets the start when Sticks is healthy….?

Tech needs to worry more about the O-Line injuries rather than the QBs’. With a weak O-Line you’re going to need a lot more back ups at QB and not all back ups will be as good as Sticks is.

Tech has a great defense and a real good offense with Sheffield. Potts has no pocket awareness or mobility, but he can throw the ball pretty well. Tech should hang on the next two games with Potts making smart decisions and not forcing anything. Sheffield gets back by OK State game and we should win out. BTW if Sheffield starts the season, Tech is undefeated and going to BCS bowl if not the Nat. Championship. Ruffan is doing a fantastic job with the defense. Got em running to the football and making plays.
