I'm gonna be pissed off if this bunch of quitters decides to show up and actually make an effort on Saturday when Tech is playing for a conference title.

Fire Shaka Smart
Is Shaka really "running UT basketball into the ground", or is he just a frustratingly mediocre coach whose teams play ugly basketball?

A lot of time left, but the Jayhawks seem to be going out with a whimper.

Game 30: Texas at Texas Tech, 8 PM, ESPN
Choking when the stakes are high is part of the Tech sports DNA generally speaking, and I'm a probably more pessimistic than the average Tech fan. That being said, though, if UT wins tonight, it'll be because the Horns play their asses off, not because Tech is flat or unmotivated. I say that because the Tech fans, particularly the students, are always out for blood when it's UT. They'll be in to it, and there will be energy in the building. That game against OSU last week was a proper trap game, as everyone thought Tech would cruise to an easy win and weren't worried about it.

Not the point, I know, but too bad it didn't work for Jimmie Dale Gilmore to the Tech guy.

Yeah, he scored 35 in that game and was 9 of 14 on 3s.

Tech was playing at a lower gear than any of the previous games in this winning streak, but you can't account for a white guy shooter getting into an insane hot streak like that. That's how a terrible Tech team beat KU back in 2009. Not to take anything away from Waters at all, but guys can't just will themselves into a zone like that. It just happens sometimes. Tech found a way to win is the important thing. We're still the title hunt with three games left in conference.

We've had exactly one season like 2008 since the late '70s, and then we fired our greatest coach ever for no apparent reason and replaced him with a moron. You're getting good crowds in football because you're winning, just like we are in basketball. I mean, y'all have had some of your best football teams ever the last couple of years while we've had one of our worst stretches since the early '80s with 3 losing seasons in 5 years, and you outdrawn us by what?, 2-3K the last two years?

Nobody "deserves" anything. Tech fans care more about football than ISU fans do, but y'all are winning now in football because you have a good coach. That's how it works. Great fan support can be a recruiting tool, but if your AD isn't hiring good coaches, it doesn't matter. Also, Tech fans always support the basketball team reasonably well - as well as anyone else in Texas, at least - whenever our team is even moderately good. The problem is that, at least since the '80s (when I first started paying attention to Tech sports), when Tech isn't NCAA tourney level good or close, they're fucking terrible, and unwatchable. That's as opposed to our football team that is as mediocre as mediocre can be historically speaking. And I don't mean, mediocre in terms of our all-time winning %, though that's also true. I mean, lots and lots of 6 and 7 win seasons.

Yeah, my thought when I saw this on TV was that someone needs to explain this to them and ask them to stop.

Not a great showing this weekend for Tech, but at least we ultimately just lost 1 of 3.

Tech rolling. Culver, Mooney and Moretti have all stepped it up offensively, which is good to see. The team seems to have found an identity compared to early in conference play.

That's right. Swedish people are smart and well-educated and don't get suckered by clowns like Donald Trump.
