I hope Tech destroys everyone else on their schedule...

[slpybear the bullfan]

...as it just makes the rankings for my Longhorns look better and better!

Take heart Tech Fans and remember with every Potts TD pass and every W you post you are doing your part to boost those Longhorns a bit further in the rankings!

;)

LOL, just a little fun.

GO RED RAIDERS!!!!:D

Texas didn't look good at all against a mediocre Tech team.. I'm guessing OU ruins texas' chances of a national championship

[sinton66]

of course YOU would.

[Move The Chains]

Tech is going to get beat by OU and OSU, and hopefully UH, A&M, and Baylor. :)

Tech puts all of their strength and power into beating UT. They don't usually do much after they play UT, win or lose.

With that said, they played a great game. I was impressed. I also think they played the best they will play all season. OU will beat them 56-14, as usual.

The Texas defense last night impressed me. Muschamps second try at Leach's madness turned out well. Colt still hasn't had a game like any of his last year and Texas is still winning ball games. Texas will roll into Dallas a month from now and whip the Sooners. With or without Bradford.

[Daddy D 11]

Oh, and it goes against conventional wisdom, but I hope Case Keenum and Houston beat the hell outta Tech next week. Only because I've got way too many friends that go to Tech that think Texas Tech football is gods gift to college football.

Go Cougs!

Yes, Tech could lose to all of those teams ... but so could Texas.

Of course, Texas won't lose to UH unless they play each other in the Alamo Bowl. Which isn't that big of a strech. :eek:

i don't see that being against conventional wisdom at all.

i think this year, UH might have a better offense than Tech. neither team is that good defensively, but with UH at home in a sold out Robertson, I think they might have the advantage in this one.

Good thing you added the disclaimer, slpy. I was about to have to start defending my alma mater. And even though I think Dodge has potential, that was going to be tough!

[jockcity33]

OK, I am lost, last week most people on this board was saying that TU was going to blow Tech out of the stadium, and score atleast 50, I believe I even heard Mack himself say something about his team is averaging 50+ a game this year and expected to put that many up against Tech. Now after the game and Tech played very well both offensively and defensively, and got beat by the #2 team in the country and all of a sudden, eventhough Tech held TU to 34 their defense is not very good. And even though they put 24 on the board in Austin their offense is gimmicky and not very good, not even as good as Cougar High.

Can somebody explain this to me?

Tech played better than expected and got beat by a Texas team led by Colt McCoy that played subpar.

Colt played no differently than he did the first two games of the season.

@Rocket...the Tech-OU game is in Lubbock where I believe Tech won last time. I doubt it will be a blowout.

I think UH might be on the cusp of being a top ten team if their defense can improve a bit. They can score against anyone. I think they will beat Tech.

not really too much Colt played like he has all season...the Tech D really didnt have too much, Colt was his own worst enemy

When your accuracy has been off for the majority of the season, then it doesnt matter what defense you're playing

[jockcity33]

this is part of the reason that I cannot stand texas, even when they are played tough by an opponet that they feel is inferior, they(fans) cannot give any credit to the opposing team. If Tech wins like last year it was all the officials fault for not calling holding, when texas wins like this past weekend in a close game even when it was not supposed to be close, it is all texas' fault for not playing very good, not that the opponet just played very good. Give credit where credit is due.

While it's true that Colt and Romo both had an off night I believe you have to give credit to the defenses that kept both quarterbacks off stride and uncomfortable in the pocket all night.

Are you sure that part of the reason you cant stand Texas is because the all time record stands in favor of Texas 44-15... Nowhere have i stated that Tech didnt play Texas close, Bravo to them, but when you look at how Colt has performed against Lousianna Monroe and Wyoming, and then you see the Tech game and you want all the credit to go to Tech's defense when Colt kept over/under throwing open recievers even with no pressure on him, Tech did good but not good enough to get credit for making McCoy subpar, hes been doing that all season...in all reality if Colt wasnt a returning Heisman canidate from last year, with his numbers as of now I dont think he is a legit contender...JMO

[jockcity33]

I could care less what the all time record is, I pay attention to this season because the past has no bearing on how this years teams will do.

I still believe that if Colt misses his receivers that badly against air in practice he would not be the starting QB at texas. So the defenses must have something to do with him playing subpar.

Okay, so you do the same. I said Tech played better than expected. (That is a compliment). I also said McCoy played Subpar. (That is true as evidenced by numerous poor throws without pressure on him.)

Do you think Colt would have thrown for 500 if not for the Tech D? I don't.

There is ZERO chance that Colt McCoy will sit, even if he missed all his passes at practice.

[jockcity33]

I don't think texas played like the #2 team in the country, I think they listened to too much of the media and actually thought they would win by 50+ by just showing up. I think Tech was more mentally prepared for this game and texas was able to survive. Texas is the better team, they should be they get the best recruits in the state.

[shamu85]

Texas did not impress me at all except in their running game. Their "much improved" secondary gave up quite a bit to a Tech team that does not have any really stellar athletes at WR. And Colt McCoy, to your point Slpybear, was not subpar. My contention is that he is only as good as his play so far this year. Tech D did a good job getting pressure on him, but that allowed the running game to be sucessful, especially since they finally figured out Trey Newton is their best RB.

If Texas does not improve, they will lose 2 games this year. And for the reord, I think if they did play UH right now, there's good chance the Cougars would come out on top. Texas has a lot of talent and a lot of room to improve because of that, but they better get their heads out if they plan on being in Pasadena in January.

Okay, one last time...

McCoy was making bad throws without being pressured and generally making a very un-Heisman like appearance.

Tech played better than we expected and almost beat us.

I am a UT Fan.

I am admitting all of this.

What do I not get?

You could not have watched that game and thought McCoy played very well. No one is saying Tech's D did not play a role in that. Just saying that McCoy looked very bad when he wasn't pressured and had receivers open.

I am not a Tech fan per se, nor a Texas fan, but Colt McCoy played like that against La Monroe and Wyoming. I don't think the supposed flu bothered him.

[Z-RO]

I am not saying he didn’t play bad against either one of those teams because he did. If you noticed though once they started to let him scramble around and make plays he was more "Colt'ish". I believe it is a combination of him trying to do too much, and Mack and Greg trying to protect him after seeing what happened to Bradford in somewhat meaningless games.

Against Tech ill bite on the flu bug excuse. However if he comes out and stinks it up again this week against UTEP then I will start worrying.

That's an opinion. No one truly knows that for certain, key matchups between personnel dictate which offenses are better than other.

One thing we do know is that UT's offense is good enough to beat Tech.


It's gonna be a fireworks show in Houston Saturday between UofH and Tech.

the steer lickers won't go undefeated this year so none of this will matter.....they will lose to the land thieves and probably in stoolwater the way they looked this weekend...

colt is no way a true heisman hopeful as pedestrian as he looked....probably 125 or more players better than him in the country so far....

I know that. But I wasn't going to attend Texas Tech for the football team. No one attends a certain University because of its sports teams or it's fans. I loved Lubbock and I was going to double major in Engineering and Political Science but decided against Engineering in the end and just stuck with the latter.

And I go to Baylor, our football program is pretty much non existent. I just seem to always see a trend between pre-game tech fans and post-game tech fans. That is all. Not knocking the University at all, or even you. Mostly my close friends that are Tech fans do this, and JockCity reminds me of them. That is all.
