Don't listen to podcasts so i've no idea what was said. However, I will note that what one suspects and what one reports often aren't the same. If all credible/official sources insist one thing, it would be irresponsible of any journalist to come out and insist the opposite without having a credible/official source to cite.

Being relatively informal, maybe there's more latitude for podcasts, but I would think they'd still have to choose their words carefully because, unlike some rando on YouTube, their careers and reputations would be on the line.

ok I had to laugh at "careers and reputations".  no one at the statesman gives a shit about that, this much is obvious.  they just need a body to write a story about "something something Texas sports" to hopefully generate clicks.  Whatever they pay them is too much but if you were their boss would you fire them and then have to replace the body?

personally I would just use AI to generate a story from generally available data on the internet and fire them.  they are all shitty people who do shitty work.

Playing two road games against probably the 2 worst teams in the conference. Need to go 2-0 this week.

[texasstrong12 4668]

Need to go 2-0 but the worry this season is going to be Covid. 

Hopefully, we aren't missing guys. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Another huge advantage tonight assuming we're healthy.

The AAS usually knows by now if we are short handed.  They knew the WBB team was going to be shorthanded days before the game.

[texasstrong12 4668]

Apparently, several coaches are out for K-State too. I would be shocked if this game is happening.

I'm not sure. Schaefer was asked a question about Covid numbers and he simply answered "Texas will have enough to play." 

I don't think AAS knew anything...... Schaefer just gave them an answer that made it sound like Texas would be down a few players.

I don't want to hear any excuses either from other programs. If you have 6 players it's time to play the game. 

Texas had to play against OU under similar circumstances last season.

Well Brian Davis said he just got into Manhattan and the Texas plane was right behind them.  So we are there.

Ksu probably testing players every 30 minutes looking for 2 more positives. 
 

odds of our guys not picking it up and being out for the next game if they do play this one?

No clue but K-State likely has Covid issues now because they played OU on Saturday who was down multiple starters out due to Covid. 

 

[Horns RD Standard 67]

So is the game NOT televised tonight? Looks like it's only available on ESPN+

[ztejas 43526]

This should be an unmitigated ass beating if they do tip it. No excuse to not come out and drill these guys. 

That said - new team - 2nd conference game - just don't sweat it out at the end and get to 2-0.

Unfortunately ESPN+ is part of the Big 12 tv contract for MBB.  

[HookEm 2467]

Somebody gonna need to post a viewing link up in here.

[texasstrong12 4668]

It's amusing to watch how many Tech fans show up to comment on anything related to Beard. They have truly lost their minds over Beard. You know they weren't bitching about this last year when Texas was down to 7 players against OU. 

 

[Js1 85493]

Yep, because Chris Beard made the rules for Big 12 MBB. 

[Guest Lobo]

Chris Beard also decided to start league play during the start of Winter/cold-flu-covid season.  

Chris Beard is also making covid-19 tests more scarce.  

This is about on par with the fucking ignorance I've come to expect from Texas Tech Red Raiders.  My little cousin who attends there got Covid in April or May of 2020.  Her and her friends brilliant solution was to ride back to Dripping Springs together, meet up with some other Tech students there who weren't on campus and go on a brewery tour together in one of those shuttle vans.  Everyone ended up with Covid, some of them hospitalized.  It's amazing to me that people pay money to attend institutions that actually de-program your critical thinking skills.

I also forgot that K-State's bowl game is tonight. Not sure many fans will be showing up for this one.

Lets get weird.

Just AJ1? Not the end of the world 

[UTGrad98 2281]

This is a good year to have quality depth

[texasstrong12 4668]

So K-State really only has 1 big tonight that's played any minutes in Massoud. Lingaurd has only played in 2 games. 

Get the ball inside. 

 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Febres is back.

Just finished showing The Rose Bowl game. Yes, THE Rose Bowl game. Already 15 years ago. Christ.

[texasstrong12 4668]

K-State likes to play slow like us.

It will be interesting if Texas runs more full court press like they did against WV to 1) get them in foul trouble with limited bodies and 2) try to wear them down.

It's pretty shit. They're a vocal minority that make us look bad. These kind of people get quickly shouted down/ridiculed on Tech boards but there's no way for us to stop them from making an ass of themselves on social media.

[Js1 85493]

So 3 missed threes and 2 turnovers? Cool 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Terrible start early. 

[TexArcher 38002]

Can we not afford game threads anymore?

I didn’t start one because I’m not watching thanks to ESPN+.

Disu is legit. 

[Js1 85493]

Stop. Taking. Threes.

10-4 Kansas state at the first timeout. injury/covid depleted opponents scare you to death

Edited January 5, 2022 by perfectchaos007

[texasstrong12 4668]

Texas is asleep early. Getting wide open 3s but can't hit them. 

[ztejas 43526]

I'm fine with taking threes. But Febres passed up on a more open look to take the 2nd look. It's frustrating. 

[texasstrong12 4668]

Disu scored easily both times inside. K-State is gonna pack the paint and force us to hit some open 3s. Somebody has to do it.

They’re down their best bigs. Go inside or drive and get them in foul trouble

Honestly it's questionable to even play the game, from KSU's side I mean. Seems like you're just endangering other teams for not any real reason.

This.  I think an argument could be made that 100% of our shots should be in the lane tonight.  The fuck are they gonna do about it?

[texasstrong12 4668]

K-State hitting some tough shots and we're missing wide open 3s.

Careless dumb turnovers

Ramey is completely lost early.
