    It’s possible for him to play an entire game against our D and never get touched.

    All joking aside, there's no way he plays this week. My bet would be that he's done for the year - at least he should be anyway.

  2. So is he "interim coach" level gone or is there gonna be the whole "Let's win some for the Wizard on his way out" as they finish their final few games level? 

     

    Because as a fan of a team traveling to Manhattan next week, this timing sucks.

    Oh, what sad times are these when passing quarterbacks are hoped to be injured so that Texas can grab a cheap win, when in the olden days we'd get mad at anything but their best game. There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is sacred.

    Thank you for the bullshit business lesson. I guess I prefer sports where champions are decided on the field of play and not board rooms and by players and not suits.

    You clearly feel differently. Hey there is an entire corporate world out there for you enjoy board rooms and revenue streams and branding deals and all that great stuff you prefer. You can watch all that stuff and talk about which CEO gets invited to which party and what kind of tie they should wear and all that stuff. I want to enjoy sports. So fuck this.

    And this is not about Bowl Games this is about deciding who gets to be the champion. A minority of the teams in the league have no right to exclude their competition because that competition beating them would be bad for their fucking business interests and hurt their branding. Why that is something you prefer is...well as I said plenty of places in our society you can enjoy business interests.

     

    I don't recall him saying that it was his preference.

    I took his post as a reason why things will not change.

  5. In this league, playing your best can win you a lot of games. Thing is, teams rarely achieve that. Tech's QB looked like a freshman against ISU and the Clones took full advantage.  They needed to because frankly, Saturday wasn't their best effort either.

    Lately, and all things being equal,  OU's best has been better than everyone else - but do we always see their best? That's the million dollar question and it's why no game is a given in this conference.

    And with one rather large exception, the same rings true all across the country. Alabama is so far ahead of everyone else that they can probably stay undefeated even if they have an off day.

    I hope not.  I hope Tech is fired up and circled this one on the calendar.  Tech owes Iowa St an embarrassing beatdown.  If KK wins this game I will be ok with him the rest of the season.  Unless he losses to baylor, cause fuck baylor.

    Yep. But I don't know about a beatdown. I'm not saying it wouldn't be welcome, obviously. Even though Tech has a large lead in the overall series, the games have usually been pretty competitive save for a few. I expect Saturday to be a dogfight. Tech is gonna have to play really well to get out with a W. 

  7. The very first year of the Big12 we did play oSu there but it was only for the one year. 

    Prior to their turning tale and running off to Papa Bama, there was talk about playing aggy every year in Dallas but fans from both sides shot that down rather quickly.

    Then, for some reason, there became a push for the conference to play more games on Turkey Day weekend and the '08 Tech/BU was played in Lubbock and no one was there and Tech nearly got beat. Red Raider brass said they didn't want to do that anymore and the Jerryworld matchup was created. But this was when there was still only an 8 game con schedule so it was frowned upon by some.

    Fast forward a couple years to aggy's departure and thus the void for who UT would play on said Turkey Day occurred and as you know, Tech and TCU became the visiting team on alternating years.

    And the years Tech was not playing UT that weekend would be the years they were the home team in the Baylor series and those games were also played that same holiday weekend. The games when Baylor was home were played earlier in the year.

    I think initially the $$$ from sponsors for the Jeryworld games made it worthwhile but both schools have improved their home facilities so now it's probably no longer worth it to give up the home games.

    Yep.
     

     

    That right there is why the Baylor game in Dallas never really bothered me. 5 true conf road games vs only 4 home games blows.

    Don't get me wrong, I like the full round robin but it's problematic and therefore I prefer having divisions and only 8 conf games. 

  9. Going back to his starts at Tech, last night was Mahomes' 7th time to lose when scoring 40 or more points.

    40-49 points: 3 losses

    50+ points: 4 losses

    and in case you are wondering...

    30-39 points: 4 losses

    And that's surprising how? Saul Goodman was a prick on BB. Remember when he was telling Walter White to just kill Badger when Walter takes him out to the desert?

    He's just an entertaining prick.

    I don't know why but I guess I thought/hoped that he might keep Kim seperated from the herd - that her "I'm with you" pledge might have meant something - but obviously it did not.

  11. Watching this Pedo St vs Urban St game - damn I miss night games at the Jones!!

    In just under 5 1/2 seasons KK is now 6 - 13 in games with 11:00 start times. 

    In 10 seasons, Leach's teams only played in 14 games with the early kick. I'm not making any sort of judgement just providing a stat. It's not just a perception that Tech has been playing a crap ton of early games - it's a fact that they are.

    But if you are wondering, Mike went 9 -5 in those games. He won a bunch of games here - no denying that. The gameday atmosphere was fantastic because of it. But what also made it great was that his teams never quit (usually) and they scored - a lot.

    ....and they played a bunch of games under the lights.
