Wreck 'Em Tech!

[Ranger Mom]

My youngest step son is there...I'm jealous!!

Hubby is quite put out that he has to listen to it on his radio at work......I bet he sneaks home early like he did for the Texas game last week!!!

[DDBooger]

This is going to be BAD.

[ivchris]

Tech may break 100 today.

Tech's run defense looks like they're asleep. :rolleyes:

[Lion_Addict]

Aggies go for FG after a missed pass and it's good.

3-0 A&M

Good play calling on that first drive. Tech should win this game but 100? DId you not see Tech play last week?

[LH Panther Mom]

Heck of a return by Crabtree! :clap:

[LH Panther Mom]

TD, Tech - Harrell to Crabtree! 7-3, Tech :clap: :clap:

[eagles_victory]

Ags put up a little more resistance than I thought they would on that first drive.

[popcorn screen]

gig em. yes, we can hold them under 100 but probably not 60:(

100? what about the wreckin crew?

[STANG RED]

Tech D is looking like their D of old today. Looks like the O may have to score lots of points to win today.

[pirate4state]

Aggies need 7 here, not another FG

[pirate4state]

Dude....it's gonna kill 'em in the 2nd half...tragic.

[LH Panther Mom]

I had to leave for a bit so I missed a part of both quarters. I got home in time to see the interception. :mad:


Thank goodness Harrell hit Batch! Now defense needs to step it up and remember that teams do actually run the ball from time to time. :doh:

[coach]

never mind

[LH Panther Mom]

POW! That had to hurt! :D

[pirate4state]

Aggies killing themselves with penalties :speech:

Was that the 3rd string QB that caught the pass after the fumble?

[pirate4state]

'bout time :clap:

AM looking better than I have seen them look in a long time. Is it them, or just Tech not looking so good??? Either way, Ags looking good right now.

Yes, Tannehill, nice article in the Houston Chronicle sports this morning about how he always wanted to go to Tech.

A&M has definitely played to the competition and looked very good the first half. We'll see how the second half goes.

[coach]

these announcers are annoying

[sinton66]

Tech needs to hang on to the ball. Giving them way too many chances.

[LH Panther Mom]

Nice sack!!!!! :cheerl:

need to get pressure on Harrell.

[JR2004]

2nd week in a row that Tech has looked less than stellar. Their defense looks to be regressing the deeper they go into the season.

[STANG RED]

A pretty sloppy game in a lot of respects by both teams. But both are playing hard and it's still anybodys game. Good to see the ags being back to being competitive for a change. This is the first time I've watched them this year. But I've seen Tech on several occasions. They are very good, but probobly a bit over ranked. I think Texas will handle them in a high scoring game. But it'll be in Lubbock, so anything can happen.

Gotta pick your poison though. 8 DBs has had some success. I think Harrell eats them alive otherwise. IDK whats the best way to go really??? Glad it's not my job to figure out!

Isn't next week UT-TT? If so TT is probably looking ahead a little.

Tech's got a rough rough rough rough next 4 weeks. And finishing at Baylor for their final game may not be a picnic.

[ILS1]

I'm far from being an Aggie fan. But Texas Tech was that last TD really necessary!!! Up by 11 with :26 seconds left on the 2 yard line!!! They score on a run by Harrell. Wouldn't they just be classy and kneel the ball and end the game???

Tech and A & M have a brutal rivalry but that last TD was not necessary. Class says that you have win in the bag and take a knee. I am not an Aggie fan, but I would be pretty upset with the Tech Staff right now. Congratulations to Texas A & M on a super performance today, give Sherman time and they will be winners in the not too distant future.

[JR2004]

Originally posted by LH Panther Mom

Offense had another good day. A&M dropped eight most of the 2nd half because they weren't going to let Tech beat them deep. They showed they could go on some time consuming possessions which is good. That defense has to tighten up though if they want to beat Kansas, UT, Okie State and OU. I hope they win all of them except for the UT game.

I enjoy watching the "Tortilla Throwing Classless Clowns" (My Tech friends get a good laugh out of being called that by other fans) and like to see them do well!

In Tech's position right now, and the possibility of what could happen from here on out, they would have been stupid to not go for the score. Just another example of one of the many flaws in the BCS system, but it's the system they have, so you have to do what you have to do. And I guarantee the Ag coaches are well aware of all that, and would have done the same thing if the shoe were on the other foot. That one TD could possibly be a huge piece of the equation when bowl time rolls around.

i understand that...but you are in a rivalry game...i believe A&M fans would go nuts if A&M kneeled it on the one against Texas it wouldn't matter if the score was 35-0

If I were one of the A&M defenders, I would have drilled Harrell about the time he let up. The punishment would have been worth it. That was a classless thing to do BCS or no BCS. Totally unnecessary, but that's Leach.

I disagree 1000%. Sherman would not have run that last TD in if the roles were reversed, and neither would Mac. I would bet everything I own on that. Leach runs up the score when there are no BCS implications.

Well you may think Sherman is stupid about how the BCS works, but I seriously doubt he is. If your ranked #5 and undefeated and have a possible chance at a NC, youd be a fool to kneel on that ball, and I'm sure Sherman is smart enough to know that.

Uhhh....How? You do REALIZE that's NOT a shot at Tech, right? Being that you're a Tech fan I would think you might know that. It was something that was initially SUPPOSED to be DEROGATORY, but instead Tech fans turned it into a badge of honor of sorts. Kind of like how the Redcoats called the Americans a bunch of Yankee Doodle Dandies and instead of it being derogatory it became a rallying cry.

Perhaps you might should check out this site, started BY A TECH FAN, and notice the name of it.

[BHBrave08]

A&M played fair well today The defense made Tech work for everything they got and didn't fair to bad. The Aggie offense was great the first half going into halftime up 23-20, but for some reason they couldn't put anything together in the second half to save their life. Final was 43-25.
O yea... Tech's last TD was with 20 seconds left on the clock.

I would hope she wasn't. Heck I'm trying to point our very, very good junior left and right offensive tackles towards going to Tech!

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

It's a rivalry, that's how things go sometimes. The players did what their coaches told them to do, but all in all, their players and fans acted with class and were respectful from what I saw. I didn't really like that Tech went ahead and scored when they didn't necessarily have to, but like I said, it's a rivalry, and that's the way things go. It was a tough loss. We went in expecting to win, just like every game, and everyone played hard on both sides of the ball. There are no moral victories and just because it was a close game doesn't mean we're going to feel good about it. That's all I have to say about the game, and in all honesty, I really think that's all that needs to be.

No, I wasn't talking about you, just the term "classless clown". It's not something that's ever made me laugh. And it's just a reminder of all the "love" yet to be spread on here between rivalries. :speech:

[Gontex]

That last td really angered the Aggie broadcasters and the post game callers. I listened to several call in shows driving back to Gonzales from the game and they said that most coaches in the Big 12 save for Leach, would have kneeled the ball and let the clock run out. Lots of Tech fans at Kyle today. I would estimate that one third of the crowd was wearing red.

[sinton66]

Well, the Aggies had a chance to stop it from happening. Not Leach's fault they couldn't.

[super1]

Losers worry about whether or not the other team is running the score up or not. Don't cry about it. Remember it and know that paybacks are heck!

[eagles_victory]

Could be worse Pete Carroll went for it on 4th down and scored a touchdown when it was already 62-0 today.

That may be true, but sometimes you have to show a little class. Mack showed how it should be done tonight against Mizzou when he had Chiles kneel the ball on the 15. Horns probably could have scored again, but what would it have proved? Whatever happened to playing the game with sportsmanship and respect for your opponent?

Even LSU with old Les Miles kneeled the ball to end the game agains South Carolina. That's how you should do it. There is no point to running up the score.

I would completely agree IF the BCS equation didnt include point differential and total points scored. Problem is, it DOES. Just another good reason why this BCS system sucks. It's obvious to anyone with an IQ somewhere north of 50 that D1 needs to have a playoff system just like everyone else. But until that happens, you'll keep these things happen over and over again, just like it's been going on now for years. Dont blame the coaches for having to do what they do in a severly flawed system.

Actually they have made the mrgin of victory a lesser factor in the BCS

They sure do. If they win he'll need all the stats he can get to boost his chances.

[NastySlot]

Sherman said Tech's final score didn't faze him.

“I've got my football team and they've got theirs,” he said. “I don't worry about that. Our job is to stop them. They do things their way and we do things our way

Beats me! All the BCS rules give me tired head so I don't even bother to learn what they are. :) MOV in this game was 18, but that's too many. We suck no matter how you look at it - OT to beat Nebraska by 7 and scored too many today. :(

Please remember that per the rules you are able to discuss THIS game until the end of the day. Any mention of next weeks game will get the thread closed again. Remember to keep it civil.

Last night against Missouri that is what UT Coach Brown told his QB to do after he almost broke for a td. The UT coaches told the qb to take a knee and end the game which is what he did.

Leach should be on VH1 "Charm School" - no class scoring that last TD. What goes around comes around. Eventually the big wheel will come full circle.

[bandera7]

I got to hang out with some really cool Tech fans this weekend. I heard stories about some being arrogant but since I did not experience it, and actually found class from all their fans, I will go ahead and make my statement that the Tech fans were really cool this weekend.

[Buffgal]

Game was fun to watch, certainly not the TTU blowout everyone was predicting.

Didn't think the last TD was necessary but then again, where was the Aggie spirit that shined through most of the game, attempt to make a decent red zone stand, don't just let him trot in untouched....After seeing the whole game, I expected a little more try out of the Aggie defense, not for a chance at a win but even if only to make a statement. Instead the only statement that was implied is that Harrell/Leach/TTU is arrogant when the Aggies could have made a stand and the statement would have been "It may not be our year, but we're building and we're getting better, so watch out next time we meet"

Listened to Coach Sherman & other A&M coaches philosophy of rebuilding A&M, they are on the right track so TTU will get a taste of that last TD in the future. First time to be introduced to the Aggie life, I was impressed.

AND I had a really good time sitting with the Tech fans/daughter and then moving to another seat and sitting with the Aggies. Great fun and then out to eat with both sides. Beautiful day to spend watching two good teams/fans play.

Goin Band from Raiderland is the most awesome entertainment. If you ever get a chance to see them perform, don't miss it.
