Too bad Sheff did not begin the season as the starting QB. And too bad that he got injured against Nebraska. I believe that Tech would very well have been undefeated at this time with Sheff at the helm. Oh well, theres always next year. I am stoked about this Young (QB from Denton). I watched his televised high school game. This kid is going to be spectacular. Hopefully he will hold true to his verbal. Wreckem Texas Tech Should a, Could a.

I'm not convinced Doege has the accuracy needed or the arm strength. Maybe he was king in high school but he will have to improve over the next couple of years to be great in college. I like that he got some playing time early in his career, that could help build confidence. Potts appears to have just been really rattled by a hit against UT and it was worse when NM whacked him. He looked better against KU. We look to be back on track and no longer under estimating our opponents like A&M. So the aggies got a win this year, first time I heard "Whoop" in Lubbock since 1993. They were going to upset someone this year like the Red Raiders used to do, sucks it was us, I was hoping for UT. We will beat OU this year in Lubbock, count on it. Tech steps up to the big games and I think we will again. And next year we will beat OU in Norman for the first time under Leach. Stoops said he would never let it happen, but next year it will happen. I'm realistic and an optimist, we have a chance to win out the season if we play tough. Nobody left on our schedule is a dominant force, everyone is vulnerable, including us. WRECK EM! Kingsbury is at UH now… he helped out the Red Raiders by beating us this year…but hey, everyone needs a job right?

Recovering from the Kindle cheap shot, the concussion against New Mex, and sitting on the bench surely left a lot of rust. Also hard for the offense to adjust tempo after playing with Sheffield, especially with the unsettled line. Batch and the running game can cure a lot of those timing problems, and this defense looks like it can give Tech a chance to win all three remaining games. All in all, this is a good time for a week off. Then we'll find out just how good of a coach Mike Leach is...... By the way, remember "The Kingsbury Hop" -- the one he used to do just before getting hit by defenders? Seemed to take a lot of force out of the hits. Plus, he seemed to know how to position himself to avoid getting whiplashed to the ground the way Potts was against New Mex. Kliff, if you are out there, a fellow Raider QB could use your help........ It’s hard to believe that a guy who looked as fearless as Potts did against UT is washed up.

He is young but coming from a guy who has played with him during high school, Doege if given the shot to start again, he will pull through as long as the line holds their guys. Expect huge numbers if Doege starts thats all im saying. Doege should be the man, although he looked timid, he still made a big play in the first half earlier in the game.

We're 6-3 with three to play and could realistically win all three. Yeah, that's right, I said it. We could win all three. OSU has consistently shown all year that they are beatable. Loss to Houston (at home), barely squeaking by texas a&m, and then the monumental pile driver from texas (again at home...emphasis on "at home"). They're wounded and vulnerable, and you guessed it, they play us AT HOME. ou comes to OUR house this year without the almighty and enlightened brad samford...do you think a little revenge might be on tap in Lubbock? Don't you think we might want a little piece? Who else has circled this one after last years train wreck in Norman? Lastly, Baylor is absolutely reeling from the loss of their QBs. With our defense and offense showing some resolve and consistency, a win is definitely within our grasp. I feel if the coaches do their jobs and the kids' heads are right, 9-3 is extremely realistic, 8-4 at worst. What say you? Why is everyone packing it in for next year?
