  1. Sure. Whose opinion should be considered here? Yours?
  2. On another note, what the hell is the point of the Wesley Hunt commercials that are everywhere?
  3. Do all of the career FBI officials being fired for no good reason have legal grounds to sue?
  4. Offer it up, as Sister Perpetual Help would routinely say. All for Jesus through Mary.
  5. That’s not what the BMDs have said. They view their portal and recruiting hauls as a starting point of a deliberate process designed to elevate their program long term. Because McGuire’s tenure has been the most successful of their recent coaches, there’s very little reason to believe they won’t continue to improve, especially given he’ll coach their most talented roster ever.
  6. Sadly, you’re correct. They know light and willingly choose darkness instead.
  7. Stop being so sensitive. You’re acting like there’s some comparison to made between Austin and Lubbock. I guess you really don’t want to be told about Texas Tech on a thread about Texas Tech. Go figure.
  8. Relax. Big cities can handle the criticisms that often come their way because they accept the fact that they are many things to many people. Even after putting in my time in Austin, it’s still just okay to me. Its trying too hard to become uber cosmopolitan while many of those 30,000 millionaires from Dallas and elsewhere are taking up residence there. It’s congested and not as ethnically or culturally diverse of similar size. It’s okay but just as it is Calcutta, it’s not Shangri-La either.
  9. Even if one takes your post at face value, it hard to understand why schools similarly situated in (what are to some) unappealing places don’t get the same kind of smoke. East Lansing, Ann Arbor, Stillwater, West Lafayette, Stark Vegas come to mind. You have to know this. While many of us think Austin is it own version of Shangri-La, others of us think it’s Calcutta without the cows. It all about the eye of the beholder: “Author James Michener described the Spanish Renaissance-themed Texas Tech as "the most beautiful west of the Mississippi until you get to Stanford."
  10. That so much of the bagging on Tech has to do with location is particularly telling, imo. Listening to the recruits, you have people dragging Lubbock who’ve never been there. It strikes me as a sign of desperation when your negative pitch is reduced to that. The Georgia guy provides some insight here: https://atozsports.com/college-football/joey-mcguire-did-what-again-inside-texas-techs-shocking-five-star-commitment-and-why-it-might-not-be-its-last-ladamion-guyton-joey-mcguire-james-blanchard-cody-campbell/
  11. But then there’s the current national champion, Ohio State. Sometimes you eat the bear. Sometimes, the bear eats you.
  12. That was kinda my point.. Since my earlier post, I’ve learned Tech is going head to head with Texas for this QB: The Red Raiders would also position themselves well for other elite targets, including Rivals’ No. 1 quarterback Kavian Bryant, who lists Texas Tech and Texas in his top two, and Rivals Industry five-star offensive tackle Cooper Hackett.
  13. Yeah, boy. They’re out and proud: https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/05/politics/video/texas-republican-redistricting-digvid
  14. What is it with all these Sec coaches wanting to become maga politicians? Tuberville has dumbed down the senate. Now Bruce Pearl and Derek Dooley are looking to join him. Why?
  15. Ten of them should schedule elective surgeries that require weeks long convalescence.
  16. His first three years at Tech were better than Briles’ first three at Baylor and Briles was a genius .
  17. Texas has gobs of money. But it doesn’t have all the money. Could very well be.
  18. Georgians are pissed. They are reporting that Tech will sign the #1 edge and. the #3 OT prospect in the 2027 class who is currently a Georgia commit. Looks like they’re following the Texas model - spend lavishly on linemen and fill in everywhere else. Surprised they haven’t upended the QB market to date.
  19. Flicka and Silver.
  20. Agreed. The owners of my local pro sports teams have caused me to lose interest in all of them. Now, I can see the college game slowly slipping away as well. Damn shame.
  21. Can they accept “loans”?
  22. It’s a non criminal “probe” designed to screw with Smith and cost him money. This is petty Betty doing his thing.
  23. Cody Campbell will have his close personal friend issue an EO admitting Tech to the Sec and nobody will have the balls to do anything about it. Watch.
  24. Trump has fundamentally changed us as a country. Based on our collective non response, I fear the change may be irreversible.
  25. After all these years, finally some moral clarity from the Western democracies. Notably, the US is not among them. France, Canada and the UK have decided to grant statehood to the people of Palestine.
