This one hurt

No safety has ever botched a play that badly.

“This loss is on our offensive coaches.”

But, echeese has always said GD has never cost us a title.

Greg, why don’t you pay attention to me anymore?

I have to disagree with you on this one HJ!!

 There were so many crucial drops in the first half, it was ridiculous! Colt had quite a few throws that were off target, and he held on to the ball for an eternity quite a few times. When you see a speed rusher go all the way around and come back to get a sack…… the ball should have been out a long time ago!

 We have all banged on GD and crew for a long time, but this one wasn’t their faults. On that first play both guards got whipped one on one.

 The offense just flat out choked, and got us in a hole so deep, we just couldn’t recover. Our offense is what it is because of personnel. These guys know what they need to do, but they just didn’t get it done!

“No safety has ever botched a play that badly.”

I totally disagree!

On that first play both guards got whipped one on one.

That’s not the point. The point is a coach is supposed to put his players in the best position to make plays and succeed.

Handing off to your slowest tailback five yards deep in the endzone is beyond stupidity.

Throw in that it is your first snap on the road, with the home defense ready to fire off and hit anyone within reach borders on insanity.

We had forced the Tech offense to punt, and with one play we totally changed the momentum of the first half.

I am fatigued beyond the point of return on this holding thing. If this is the way games are called, then let’s coach accordingly.

I understand we won’t recruit the same as some schools but on the field, let’s play the same game.

I feel horrible for Blake Gideon. Keep your head up, Blake. Lots of football left in your career.

Enjoyed your post, HJ.

I have been on this site all week and have been telling everyone that UT has played NO ONE on the road.

Everyone ignored me, disrespected Texas Tech, and didn’t think this would be a problem at all.

Guess what Scipio, HenryJames, EyesofTexas ya’ll do not know what you are talking about.

To say that the Tech O-line held on every play is an absolute joke and a pussy’s co-op. What about the obvious phantom pass interference on Crabtree, what about the TWO block in the backs on Shipley’s punt return? The ref even say it, threw his flag, and then decided to pick it up.

Texas Tech is 21+ points better than UT, but some absolutely terrible calls kept UT in this game. It shouldn’t have even come down to Crabtree having to make one of the greatest plays in College Football. It should have been over early in the 4th.

Texas Tech’s o-line absolutely made Miller and Orakapo look like they need to be playing in the Sun-belt conference.

Oh, and to the fool that did a post about how weak our two-deep on D-line is, you are a complete idiot and shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a computer.

I tried to tell all of you how good this Tech D-line is, but all of you refused to listen and kept coming back to Orakapo.

Colt McCoy is not even the third best QB in the Big 12 south more less the entire Nation. They guy can’t keep his eye’s downfield, he can’t take a hit, he has an average arm. He’s surrounded by more talent than some NFL teams, yet he can do nothing agaisnt the Tech D.

Where are all the blog post about how crappy Lubbock is now?

Where are all the blog post about Orakapo and Miller now?

Where are all the Colt for Heisman blog post?

Where are all the Lubbock is an easy place to go win a football game post now?

Oh, what do I expect from a bunch of UT bloggers, not like any of you cowards will write a blog about how wrong you were.

Tim, with the most accurate post of all time.

It is well documented that Colt signs autographs for sick kids.

Even with the great win, Tim shows that some Tech folks just can’t stop being Tech folks.

If you want to know where the “How crappy is Lubbock” posts are, check back in two years, because LUBBOCK WILL STILL BE CRAPPY.

It’s the same as when we say “OU sucks”. The quality of the Sooner football team is immaterial. The latter doesn’t negate the former. The same goes for Lubbock, you fucking tard.

As for the rest of your claims, well … looks like you watched a different football game that the rest of us watched, and have been reading completely different posts than have been made around here.

Congrats Tim. You’ve managed to out-Aggy Aggy.

Tim – Good win for your program. Do you think you’ll win out? Is Tech ready for a National Championship appearance?

If you have followed this blog through its long and storied (and award winning) history, you would know that we are unabashed fans of Mike Leach. His accomplishments in Lubbock are beyond admirable and he is a first rate character.

We also helped our great friend dedfischer start a great Texas Tech blog, The Tortilla Retort.

Anyway, we do have to root against you as it is our solemn desire to see Mack Brown win a conference championship sans Black Jesus, but as a fan of college football, the notion of a Texas Tech vs Penn State/Florida/USC/Alabama national championship has me a bit intrigued. So, like, don’t fuck the pooch, you know. And if you do, we’ll expect you to show back up and let us know how bad OU holds.

You’re the man now, dog.

Tim, you’re venting, and that’s fine. Lord knows I’ve heard enough condescension at work this week to justify such a post.

Truth is, I’m glad to say that Tech front 7 finally matches up with UT. Felt good to stop the run most of the night.

I agree with HJ, it’s on the UT OC in the first half. We disguised nothing and basically said, Come and get us. Not the case with Muschamp.

Loved what he did disguising pre-snap alignment. We ran I think three screens in the first half and they all got blown the fuck up. Loved how he shut us down inside the 20.

I’m drunk, so I’ll have to finish this with a salute to Crabtree, because BIG TIME PLAYERS MAKE BIG TIME PLAYS IN BIG TIME GAMES.

We have two 4-star players on offense. One threw to the other, and that’s history.

fucking bullshit it’s on the offensive coaches. you give the supposed best defensive coordinator in america the lead with 1:35 left and he cant close the deal, after giving up 35 and 24 the past 2 weeks. get a clue

Hey guest,

Not be unkind, but Tech has a very good offense. Muschamp had good coverage on the next-to-last play, and Gideon drops the INT. Then he has a corner and safety on Crab, and it’s not enough. I know Muschamp is ultimately responsible for the outcome, but I’d say he called the right defense.

Then again, if we hadn’t scored I’d be bitching about Ruffin McNeil giving up a long drive to seal the UT win.

College Football…It’s fantastic!!!

i understand they have a good offense. that’s why we hired the best offensive coordinator in the country to defend them.

bottom line- we had the lead with 1:30 to go, and muschamp’s defnese couldn’t close the deal. we put up 33 points – that should be enough. muschamp’s defense blew it.

So, should we hire the second best DC in the country?

I’m hoarse from yelling at my tv during our last drive that we were leaving way too much time on the clock. We could have easily burned an additional 45 seconds off starting with Colt running out of bounds followed by at least two plays where we snapped the ball with 20 to 25 seconds on the play clock. Unbelievably bad clock management.

Yup, there is a lot of saliva on Texas fans’ TVs as a result of that drive. It’s almost a meme at this point.

It won’t make you feel any better, but UT was far and away the best defense Tech has played this year. Plays that gained 8-10 against KU or A&M gained 3-5 against UT, or were incomplete. Harrell consistently froze because his first read was covered.

Not gonna comment on LG’s lament regarding the holding calls, or lack thereof. We all know bitching about officiating sounds hollow after a loss.

no, sailor ripley, we shouldn’t hire the second best DC. The “supposed” best DC should do his job and get these offenses off the field. It gets old watching him get depantsed by OU, OSU, and TTU.

RRR:
 
Regarding holding, I think our bitch is more along the lines of why aren’t doing it more ourselves?
 
It’s like traveling in the NBA now.

“starting with Colt running out of bounds”

The clock didn’t stop when Colt ran out of bounds.

To be more specific, once they reset the down markers, the clock started back up.

That’s part of the new rules.

This clock management stuff has now become a thing – or, to get in the spirit of BC, a meme – but I think it’s a red herring. IMO, you take the points when you get the points and trust that your D can make the ensuing stop.

Or that your fucking kickoff team won’t resume its porous ways on its most important play of the year.

In any case, no one’s griping about not milking the clock if Gideon holds onto the ball, or if Brown/Thomas make better plays on the Crabtree touchdown.

Or if we don’t start our offense with a safety.

Or if Colt doesn’t throw a Pick 6.

Et cetera.

Tim:

Some facts -
- If Gideon doesn’t drop the INT, the game was over. You lucky bastards.
- Beating Texas isn’t the same thing as being Texas.
- Lubbock still smells.

Have a great life.

Wow. Tim, you are an idiot. I saw that not because you are a Tech fan, but because you very literally are an idiot. Quite possibly, you are the single most idiotic poster that I have read in the last 6 months, and that’s saying something.

You have not only shown yourself to be completely incompetent at giving relevant football analysis, but you have further proved that the average Tech fan is, and always will be, a classless asshole.

It is obvious that you are so caught up in proving that Tech is the perfect team of all time that you are incapable of watching another team’s performance and judging it for what it is.

Your posts over here have been asinine and reek of what I can only assume is a hatred that stems from you not being academically good enough to attend UT. I would highly recommend that you go back and watch every game that UT has played this year and see how EVERY POINT that you mentioned is such a laughingly ridiculous statement that to respond directly to them is completely unnecessary. If you had even half of the football acumen that the BC bloggers possess, you never would have written the above post in the first place.

Beyond that Tim, I have to say that I really hope that in real life you are more of a man than your posts over here make you out to be. Because what I gather from them is that you are a complete waste of oxygen and quite possibly the most insecure little bitch I’ve ever come across. You are the type of person who cannot admit when he is wrong and instead throws a fit like some 4 year old who isn’t getting his way. The people who have to deal with you on a daily basis have my deepest sympathies.

I will thank you, and all of your little Lubbock friends, for reminding me why I need to start thanking God every day that I’m a Texas fan. Example? After the OSU game, which I attended, as the Cowboys were walking to the locker room, the Texas crowd began to applaud them. It was in recognition of the amazing game they had played and it a way of giving credit where credit was due. The crowd then began to chant "Beat ou," to let them know that we did think they were good enough to do so.

Enjoy your win now, Tim. But for the love of everything that is good in life, shut the fuck up because you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about.

It was a great game where Texas did not play well. In fact, if you take away slow developing play to open the game and add a catch by Shipley, the game may have been tied at half-time.
We dropped passes and our line got whipped in the first half. Yet, we were still in it and made some decent adjustments at the half. Could have won, even.
I figured this was bound to happen. These are young kids playing a killer schedule, and it was probably just too much too many weeks in a row. USC couldn’t go undefeated. Neither could Florida. At least our loss was respectable. Alabama’s time is coming. Penn State is in and will send Joe Pa out with a BCS championship game, which he may win, unless he plays USC, Texas, OU or Florida. Might could beat Alabama. No chance against Tech, should they complete their own killer stretch.
As for Texas Tech, well, congratulations on your win and fine season to date. The unfortunate reality is, however, you’ll lose your coach and go back to being an also ran at some point in the near future. Schools like Tech can’t maintain excellence for the long haul. You don’t have the resources, the fan base or the recruiting base to do it. Those are simply the facts.
Be proud of your team, folks.

Just ignore Tim.

People sometimes say really stupid things in times of stress.

Most Tech fans are honestly not like Tim. They truly admire not only the resources of UT but the ways that they have been applied and implemented during Mack’s tenure. There were great kids on both sides of the ball who played their hearts out.

I feel sorry for all of those kids who must have been worn out from rushing the field three times. They must have been in Raiderville when their Professor covered what one second on the clock means.

I’m not going to apologize for my post. I will say that it came from a combination of; this blog dissrespecting Texas Tech all week, being at the wildest game of my life, alcohol, HenryJames claiming that we held the entire time.

Texas Tech’s offensive line played one hell of a game vs. a very talented defense and a very talented defensive coach.

If we would have lost I would have came here and taken my lumps. I doubt I’ll see that here, all I’ve seen so far are excuses and more of the “Tech’s classless” (how very Aggie of you), and “Lubbock still sucks”.

Good to know you guys arn’t sore losers, and can man up to all your pre-game talk.

I have blamed the coaching staff too, but this one isn’t on them.

 There will be bile spewed on this blog for the next few days, but we all need to realize that this one was on the players……

 I laugh at the notion that we shouldn’t line up in the I from our 2 yard line. So what would be better, putting Colt in shotgun and throwing from there? Then when he gets sacked, or we throw a pick, people would even be more appalled. That was the right call. You give yourself a couple yards of breathing room before you drop back and throw.

 The fact of matter is that we stunk it up in the first half. People are trying to blame GD, but we had a chance to advance the sticks enough times that the score should have at least been 14 in the first half……. at least.

 Defensively, we did the best we could with the personnel we were left with. It was pretty obvious that Curtis Brown fell asleep in the footwork drills. He repeatedly got turned around on the easiest of moves, and allowed just about everyone to get deeper than him. He may be an athlete, but he has a long way to go as far as technique goes.

  In this day and age people are afraid to blame the players for fear of hurting their feelings, but come on guys!!! Guys were in positions to make plays all night long, and repeatedly failed all the way up to the final gun!

our defense is shit, they cant tackle for shit, and each reciever or back would always get 5 or 7 more yards after the tackle, hope those guys had to walk home, slpoppy job on the d side, te offense is a whole nother ramble

I didn’t see Tech line up in the I when they had the ball on their own 1.

“This team has already exceeded my expectations though. They refuse to quit, and they always play hard.”

This sums it up for me. Before the season, I could have seen three losses by now, and they had won them all. They could have won this one — they just didn’t.

Tim-

 Your offensive line DID hold the entire game, or are you really naive enough to believe your O-line is the ONLY one in the country that can pass block for 7 seconds without holding? When you rewatch the game you will see it, but you will not admit it.

 The so-called “phantom” pass interference call was on the money, and wasn’t the first time that it happened. On the last drive it happened right in front of the ref on the back-shoulder throw.

 How do you drop back and throw it 53 times, and not get called for ONE holding call? Leach was right when he said he was gonna “work” the officials! No one else in the country can block for 5-7 seconds for 53 snaps without holding. You have the best O-line the world has ever seen. They should all be first rounders!!

i think tim may be gay

“I didn’t see Tech line up in the I when they had the ball on their own 1.”

 I saw Tech run it from the 1, and get positive yards. HJ, we don’t play their line splits. We all know our running scheme isn’t the most effective by design without a Pat White type at the helm. That being said, had we dropped back and thrown it and turned it over everyone here would have said we should have run it. For example……. last week on the fourth down call.

“Where are all the blog post about how crappy Lubbock is now?”

Here’s one. Your lightweight fans swarmed the field not once, but twice, before the game even ended.

Learn the lesson famously taught by Darrell Royal: “Act like you’ve been there before.”

But he won’t learn the lesson. He’s a Tech student. The only lesson they had to learn was one number: 800. That’s what a prospective Tech student had to score on his SAT for admission into the Texas Technical undergrad currriculum.
Shit, even Ricky from Boyz-n-tha-Hood scored that! Right before that Blood bastard mowed him down with a sawed off. Damn, Ricky…

They haven’t been there before, DBH.

The defense had only given up three points in the second half prior to the last drive…. that’s what’s disappointing.

Tim,

Your guys came out and hit us in the mouth on both sides of the ball. That coupled with the loss of Cosby had Colt rattled early. Props to you for achieving that. You have a great coach and a very solid team. We showed some character tonight at the end. But it was your night and you deserved to win the game.

I know a couple of folks from the east who moved to Lubbock and fell in love with the people, the Mexican food, and the weather (Lubbock beats the Northeast every day of the week).

So congratulations on your win. Some of us Texas fans are sportsmen who do not whine and make excuses. Especially if we lose a close decision after suffering a couple of first round knock downs.

The players couldn’t overcome the horrible coaching, again. Mack has resumed his flaccid, nice-guy persona which kept him from raising holy hell about the blatant holding that Tech was taught to do. Or going over to the offensive line in the first quarter and threatening to expel the next fatass that whiffed on a block [this means you Tanner].

Davis is a complete idiot who should not be allowed on a college campus. When he called a draw play on the first play from scrimmage to our slowest rb, the AD should have gone into the booth, slapped him, and fired him on the spot. It took him almost 3 quarters to figure out that Tech was rushing 3, dropping 6 into the mid-zone, and keeping 2 safeties back. My 7 year old could see that. Moron.

And then there is the always overrated Duane Akina. Here are the 3 things you learn from the Akina Secondary School: 1. Never ever ever look back for the football, even when your man is holding his arms out, stopped and giving a postgame interview about the catch. 2. Avoid physical contact at all costs. If Thomas knocks the ever-loving shit out of Crabtree on the last play, instead of purposely avoiding hitting him and dancing a ballet move behind him, game over. Not a single hard hit on a single Tech receiver in the game. Not one. 3. Never ever catch a ball, even when they hit you in the hands. How many int’s have we dropped this year that were right in our hands? 4. Give a scholarship to a guy like Deon Beasley so you can watch him regress from being a mediocre cb to one that is actually painful to watch.

Oh, and a special shoutout to Muschamp. Brought to UT as some kind of Defensive Genius, qb’s are giving themselves permanent shoulder injuries throwing for miles of yardage against his “bend and eventually break” defense. His lines are getting mauled and the LB’s techniques are worse than Baylor. Hey Will, it’s called a WIDE RECEIVER SCREEN. Teams are averaging 15 yards a play with it against you. After 8 games, figure it out. Go check out a book, something, anything.

This was a game Texas should have won and piss poor coaching gave it to the worst top 20 team in recent memory. Yeah, I’m pissed.

Tim reminds me why I generally wait awhile after a close game(win or lose) to process it before hitting the intermemes.

Congratulations Tech, and most especially to dedfischer. I assume, given the night’s debauchery and an extra hour to party, you’re waking up about now in the bed of a ram charger parked on the shoulder of a dirt road between Post and Tahoka wearing only a pair of women’s panties and the brash confident smell of Hai Karate! and vomit.

Your guys played a helluva football game.

First off, thanks for the post HJ. It’s downright cathartic for me to the point where I’ve read it multiple times. This one stings mainly because you can what if the motherfucker for hours on end.

As an aside, I don’t blame Tim for talking shit. It’s not my style, but I understand where he’s coming from. He has scoreboard whether we like it or not. Tim’s responses, metaphorically speaking, are his way of rushing the field. Don’t hurt yourself on the goal post, bro.

Congrats on the nice win. But there’s still a ton of football to be played, partna.

You know, one of my best friends went to Tech. Even she says that Tech fans are complete morons when it comes to games like this. Of course, her father played in the NFL, so she is able to actually watch a game from an unbiased standpoint.

Tim, you won’t apologize for your post because you are an idiot who possess no ability to watch a football game objectively. And since you can’t, your opinion holds no weight.

And again, just shut the fuck up and stop proving how much of a completely classless asshole you actually are.

ESPN projects Texas will be #4 in the BCS behind Alabama, Penn St., and Texas Tech.

If so, this is nice. When Tech loses to Okie St and/or ou(sux), we should move up to #3. I don’t think ou(sux) will ever pass us as long as we both have the same number of losses.

Here is the way I see it. We are now in the same boat as Florida and USC. They have one loss, just like us. Both teams were beaten by inferior teams. So, we have some company, and that company is good company.

Here we are, playing with no TE at all. We lose our starting WR and DE, and that DE is all world. Our secondary is super young, half freshman. Our OL are young. We have no great RB, like just about everyone else has. We don’t have any fast LB’s (assuming Kindle is a DE now). This is not a script for an undefeated team. Find me ANY top team with these issues.

I think we have some pretty good coaching and some fine players elsewhere that have us at 8-1.

Our inability to run the ball is our biggest problem. I am not a coach, and I don’t know how to fix it. But a mediocre RB squad and a lack of a TE could be part of the problem. Without that running game, we have no play action. Its a problem when a defense is amped.

I think TT played out of their minds last night, good for them. Props to them. They beat us.

We are the only team that has played all the South big boys. We came out 3-1. That is likely the best that anyone can do, although Tech could go 3-0. Lets run the table and be 11-1 and let the chips fall where they may for our bowl matchup.

Muschamp knows that you have to defend the forward pass, too, right?

Geoff Ketchum called Harrell a “wuss” in the pregame show. Called on it, he said it again.

Whither thee, Geoff Ketchum?

“Here is the way I see it. We are now in the same boat as Florida and USC.”

From a rankings perspective we have better wins than USC and just as good, if not better wins than Florida. And our loss came to a top 10, soon to be top 3 team, unlike both of them. So in my biased opinion we have the better resume. Of course the pollsters tend to see more of a linear relationship to the polls.

The think UF has over us though is that they are in the driver’s seat to get to their conference championship game.

horncasting: I agree with your quibble regarding the quality of our competition. I was speaking a bit more generically: We are an elite team with 1 loss, and we are in good company.

This team is not dominant enough to run the table. You need to add a run game, a shutdown corner, a more experienced secondary and a TE. Maybe not all of them, but give us a damn TE at least!

Reasons we lost with % basis.

45% UT offense (players & Coaches) had head up ass until 4th Q
35% Texas Tech deserves Top 10 ranking, they’re a solid team, defense is better than expected
10% Individual mistakes like Gideon dropping INT, Colt not running more time off clock, receivers dropping passes, poor tackling on last play of game, and a few others
10% Tough schedule that lead to this game. If this was the first of the four, I think the outcome is different.

While staring at my ceiling half the night mulling over a cadre of increasingly far-fetched what-if scenarios (i.e. why somebody didn’t go Haynesworth on Crabtree’s ankle in the 1st quarter), I realized from a slight crack in the paint that my house might have foundation problems.

Despite this searing loss, Texas Football’s foundation is rock solid.

I remain impressed with what Tech was able to do in the trenches, including the holding. Wish we could do that.

Despite this searing loss, Texas Football’s foundation is rock solid. These are the type of deep metaphysical connections my mind defaults to after a loss. Deep shit there.

I remain impressed with what Tech was able to do in the trenches, including the holding. Very impressive.

Our D line looked gassed at halftime.

Love what Tucker and Malcolm Williams had going on with the rugby punt.

Gideon’s going to need his bible this week.

Glad this four game stretch is in the books even if it wasn’t 4-0.

“I remain impressed with what Tech was able to do in the trenches, including the holding. Wish we could do that.”

If Texas had been able to do that, it would have won easily.

Re: the safety.

I don’t have problem lining up and running it up the gut. Damn near every team does that from their own one hoping to get a two yard cushion.

The only thing I had issue with is that the handoff was 5 yards deep.

As far as blaming the coaches, the only thing I was upset about was putting our flunkie tight ends on their defensive ends. That was an absolute disaster. Other than that and handing off deep in the endzone, it seemed like a well called game.

Most of this is on the players and injuries. Dropped passes, dropped picks (Gideon’s was the only time that I recall actually falling to my knees in horror during a game).

As far as injuries go, there are 5 individuals we rely on in games: Colt, Shipley, Quan, Miller, and Orakpo. 3 out of 5 of those missed significant time because of injury.

Tim, you cant possibly argue that Miller and Orakpo (until he got hurt on an obvious holding call) were playing well, especially Miller. He whipped the guard many times through out the night. The other linemen didnt fare so well, but Tech does have a good line.

And for you to say that Colt isnt even the third best QB is just purely wrong. He had six drops on the night, one of which was a TD, and he still brought us back, even after being knocked around because our OL decided not to show up. He still deserves the Heisman, more than the product of the system Harrell.

You act like us “disrespecting” Tech has anything to with anything. Should we have bowed down to the almighty Tech juggernaut before the game? Like they had even proven anything in the first 8 games? Its a rivalry for a reason. You didnt “respect” Texas, why would we “respect” Tech? Thats the whole point of a rivalry, you stupid fuck.

Now, I’ll admit that Tech is a good team and showed up to play on both sides of the ball, but dont act like they didnt get just as much help from the refs as we did. Its just intellectually dishonest. Congrats, on the win, but at least I woke up in Austin while you woke up in Lubbock. Have fun with that.

Tim> eat a bag of dicks. Thanks

“They haven’t been there before, DBH.”

True. I guess class is something you either have or you don’t or maybe it just takes 100+ years to develop. Perhaps if they’d stop doing childish shit like that, fans of traditional powers would stop referring to them as “Red Raider High.”

laugh at the notion that we shouldn’t line up in the I from our 2 yard line. So what would be better, putting Colt in shotgun and throwing from there? Then when he gets sacked, or we throw a pick, people would even be more appalled. That was the right call. You give yourself a couple yards of breathing room before you drop back and throw.

You give yourself a couple of yards of breathing room by running the fucking QB sneak.

We don’t line up in the I on first down at any other spot on the field, and to do so on your own 1, on the road, with a defense just coming on the field ready to fire out and hit someone is beyond stupidity.

I almost feel like Davis had his 15-play script and he was going to run them in ordre no matter the situation.

Awesome Post, Ransom. You hit the nail on the head. However, you left out 3 things. 1) We missed Quan offensively but he should never be allowed to return a kick again, 2) We only played our best running back when we were absolutely desperate, and 3) It was nice Greg Davis finally figured out that they were not protecting against the deep pass.

Lastly, Beasley should never see the field again. I posted last week that he has been a disappointment this year and was attacked. When is chykie coming back?

“You give yourself a couple of yards of breathing room by running the fucking QB sneak.

We don’t line up in the I on first down at any other spot on the field, and to do so on your own 1, on the road, with a defense just coming on the field ready to fire out and hit someone is beyond stupidity."

AMEN.

“I almost feel like Davis had his 15-play script and he was going to run them in ordre no matter the situation.”

I had the exact same thought.

A pussy co-op would be awesome.

When someone uses the word ‘disrespect’ I just want to punch them in the mouth. When they use it repeatedly and then can’t even spell it right, I realize they’re nothing more than a whiny little bitch.

You’re a punk Tim, and so is Harrell. Nothing yesterday changed that.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?

Holding every plaaaayyyy!…give me a break!
lololol

I also cannot understand the love for Beasley on this board. He has not made a single play in my memory, consistently gets beat and avoids contact at all costs. Anyone out of the stands would be better.

A couple of points:

Even on the last play, that was great coverage. Only one guy in college ball who can make that play and it happened to be Crabtree.

And this plays well in our Master Plan to get Leach out of Lubbock. Thanks for doing your part guys…

Tech tried to choke the game away. If they don’t have Crabtree they lose

If we don’t have Crabtree, we lose. What kind of argument is that? That’s like sayin, “if the earth wasn’t round, it wouldn’t be round.” DUH!!

39-33 Tech, HAVE SOME!!!

Hey dedfisch, what did you think of Jordy’s play last night? How would you grade him?

“You give yourself a couple of yards of breathing room by running the fucking QB sneak.”

 To amswer your question we run out of the I on the goal line going in, or have you not been watching this season? We have gained positive yardage every time we have done so that I can recall. Now if you wanna talk about personnel, that is another thing. The play failed because our line didn’t execute. The left guard, instead of securing his block first, just chips the DT, and tries to get to the second level. He has to know where they are on the field, and make sure there is no penetration before trying to get to the linebackers.

 As far as the QB sneak goes……. Did you see the one we tried later on?? Had we tried that on the goal line it would have been second and 9 1/2. Then you are faced with the exact same situation on second down….. now what do you do? We can all sit here and criticize every play that doesn’t work, that is the nature of the game. Hindsight is always 20-20. If we had fired off the ball like we had a pair, and gotten 3 or four yards, no one here would be complaining. Why don’t we credit Tech for making a good play every once and awhile!!

Some of these posts are great and some kinda bring the whole place down. Tim, you’re acting like a baby becasue Tech’s not getting the respect they deserve. You have good reason to be pissed. Your team flat out won a big game, and your opponent makes childish excuses and complains. When you call them out, they fall back on tired, weak insults of your school and town. Get over it. Why do you care if they respect Tech or not? This was a great game, both teams need each other to create big significant games like this. How would you like to be USC in the Pac 10 having to tune in to a UT game every week just to see some good college football? I enjoyed every second of it.

To amswer your question we run out of the I on the goal line going in, or have you not been watching this season?

Yes I have, and we run the loaded power I when going into the endzone, an entirely different kind of formation than what we ran.

So what if you make only a yard? So what if you do it again? You are punting without giving up 2 points, which is a helluva lot better than the alternative which changed the emotional outlook for both teams for the rest of the half.

The play failed because our line didn’t execute.

True, but again, the coaches job is to put your players in the best position to succeed. Asking your linemen to reach block inside your one yard line against a DL that is jacked up and ready to fire out is moronic.

Line up, run the QB sneak, let everyone hit and be hit and settle down.

It’s motherfuckers like Tim that I hate losing to those assholes in Lubbock. You want a fucking medal or what dickhead?
