Nice pick-6. Go UTES!

A team actually going to a bowl vs UT who is not. L.O.L.

This always makes me laugh. KINDLY go fuck yourself. So nice and polite. Just once I would like someone to say, "You can go grudge fuck yourself as if you were Jodie Foster on a pinball machine."

He bang the chairman of the board’s daughter? Because otherwise this is complete bullshit.

You need to rethink your life.

Neal Brown went full regard.

Here's the irony of this whole thing. Most every Tech fan had moved on about the officiating by Sunday night or Monday, and no one anywhere in the media was even aware of the Tech broadcast crews' comments. No one was really talking about any of it after that until Bob Bowlsby decided he wasn't going to be shown up by some pissant radio crew (in his mind) and wanted to flex his muscle and show everyone what a big man he was by not only reprimanding them, but by also doing the unprecedented action of suspending them and then tweeting it out for the whole world to see. He could have done a private reprimand and warning and left it at that. But no, he wanted the whole world to see how powerful he could be so he decided to very publically suspend them, which has in turn put the spotlight on the officiating of that game when it was pretty much a dead issue three days ago. And NO ONE outside of the Tech fanbase even heard the radio call to begin with...now everyone has. Bowlsby is about as dumb as a bag of rocks.

Fuck Bob Bowlsby. Never thought someone could be worse than Dan Bebee. I was wrong.

In their defense, they were due. They had quite a storied history of hiring duds between Grant Teaff and Art Briles: 1993-1996: Chuck Reedy, Overall Winning %: 0.511; Conference %: .448 1997-1998: Dave Roberts, Overall Winning % 0.182; Conference %: .125 1999-2002: Kevin Steele, Overall Winning % .200; Conference %: .031 2003-2007: Guy Morris, Overall Winning % .310; Conference %: .175

I've been asking this exact same question as a Tech fan looking back at 21+ years of really bad defense, minus one or two decent seasons (2008 being one). And it's not just Tech. It's not just UT. Look at OU under Riley...their defenses have been relatively shitty, too. Only thing I can think of is that college football as a whole has been putting their best athletes on offense, so the offenses overall are simply just better than the defenses. That's my theory...not sure if I'm sticking to it or not.

Because WVU is bad. Even Tech beat them…at WVU.

It’s coaching. Like others have pointed out, in a UT vs KU scenario, your second and third string players are going to be more talented than KU’s starters. Yesterday was 100% coaching. As a Tech fan, I’ve seen a difference in our team the past two games. Yes OU blew us out of the stadium, but the team played harder and better than they had previously this season. Yesterday was night and day different from the Tech team I watched all year. Same players. Only variable that changed was at the HC position. Coaching matters. Head coach matters.

Big 12 officials are fucking corrupt.

Did I tell you all how much I despise Big 12 officiating??

He’s Batman now. (Old Snickers commercial for you youngins)

I hate big 12 refs with every fiber of my being. Two ISU TD’s are due to bad officiating.

Oh holy sheet. I am dying.

Does a stripper’s monkey do lines of coke with her?

This win still doesn’t get this ref crew off the hook for their ridiculous calls. Total bullshit.

This ref crew should be executed on site. Ridiculous.

I may have jinxed the missed PAT. My bad.

Million dollar question. His next good football hire will be his first, going back to his time at Miami. Everyone says, "But he hired Beard, he hired Tadlock, Track is awesome". Well, allow me to retort: 1. Beard: That fell in his lap. Anyone with half a lick of sense would have gone after Beard the moment Tubby submitted his resignation. I'm sorry, but I can't give him credit for that one. That was the quintessential definition of low-hanging fruit. 2. Tadlock: Again, low-hanging fruit. First, Tadlock was already on the Tech staff. Second, everyone knew before Kirby ever arrived in Lubbock that Tadlock would be the eventual pick to be the head baseball coach. Kirby would have been fired if he had NOT named Tadlock the head coach. 3. Track: Doesn't count. Wes Kitley was at Tech before Kirby. 4. Other sports: a. Don't pay the bills. b. He whiffed twice on women's basketball coach. Kirby should have been fired at the same time as Wells. This disaster of a hire was all on him, as was KK before him, as was the Miami coach who sucked.

Every school that's ever played OU can appreciate this meme.

My first thought as well.
