Who is Tech’s competition for the Big 12 this year? It’s literally just Arizona State. Tech finished 2nd last year and has only improved their squad (by a lot). ASU returns a lot too but they lost Skatteboo. You guys are acting like I predicted Sam Houston State to win the CFP.

Colorado.

They have to replace QB, S, and CB/WR…

But they have some talent coming in and will likely be able to pull in some spring transfers with Deion signing a new contract.

Reminds me of trying to help out a guy posting stats a couple seasons back.  Totally doesn't understand how ties affect standings.

Of course, he got the "Have a blessed day" in first, so he wins.

Who cares what you were referencing, you were literally RESPONDING to someone who posted a fucking picture!

I was looking at conference overall record and there was nothing indicating the rankings went deeper than that. I guess I should’ve thought tiebreakers and head to head was included. I admit I ate my dick in this board today. I’m done.

That is technically a 2nd place finish, yes. Try again.

This is the funniest thing you’ve ever posted. If you really are a troll, the bit is elite. 

If you aren’t a troll…oh boy

Is Helobious becoming self-aware?

It’s like SkyNet setting off a nuclear war, but the mouthbreathing rube version where he just starts launching one dumb fucking post after another, setting off barrages from other counterparts with the same room temperature IQ.

We’re here to be victimized by it all, just taking blow after blow until we each throw our hands up and go do chores. We need to send one of the least messed up, most intelligent representatives of this forum back to 2018 and somehow prevent all of them from registering.

I still have some questions for the positions of need, with what is out there, I assume there is no must take WR/TE/DL left in the portal?  assuming no more coaching changes, what is the next group up? in case of a "break glass" situation? sort of like Velton Gardner at RB last year

There's a whole 'nother spring window that opens April 16th.

I wrote about the transfer/NIL outlook in the Archmania thread on the football board a few days ago. I’m too lazy to go find it, but it’s there if you want more info.

Thanks I will go check it out

I don’t think Bailey is worth the $ he supposedly wants.  Per the Cal mods, it is a $ driven recruitment, he doesn’t give a fuck about Tech’s academics and if they overpay for him, he’ll go there IMO.

No way!  Will he plug his nose and hold it high the entire time so it will not pollute his prestigious Stanford diploma? Or will he do the rational thing and get paid so he can buy women, drugs and cars like all other sane people in that situation?

I love when Tech throws way more money than rational schools, then looks smugly, then has said prospect do nothing while we are in the playoffs.

The irony of a successful oilman throwing generational money down the dry well that is Texas Tech is somewhat fascinating to behold. Also irritating, but whatever.  

 

You can’t take it with you. Maybe he doesn’t particularly like his kids. Figures might as well blow it on something that amuses himself rather than his grandkids blow it on something dumb like hookers, blow or trying to bring peace to the world or some such idiocy. 
if I had the cash I’d either be sarks biggest booster or take over Sam Houston and crowd source it to Surly to run. Both seem imminently amusing.

Campbell earned his money he doesn't have to pass anything down if he doesnt want to. Contrast that with the legacy families at a place like SMU who have had to carve out a slice for NIL out of their destabilizing unfavorable Central American governments budget. He should spend it on whatever the hell he wants.

Owning Tech sports is at least as good as owning Wrexham football team

Big change from Palo Alto to Lubbock. From green grass to tumbleweeds.

To be fair, Palo Alto only really has green grass in winter when it rains and on watered lawns.

But the golden hills of dry season are pretty, too.

The only sport that it would probably work and result in a title would be men's basketball I think.

Never heard of this scrub, let Tech over pay for him. 

You haven't heard of a player on a shitty Stanford team that was never on TV? That's crazy, he must suck.

Sounds like the kid will have plenty of extra money to pay for going back to school in the winter & spring quarters once he is in the NFL so that he can put a Stanford diploma in a frame rather than a Texas Tech one. 

He may be making the correct immediate financial call for his family.

I'm at the whatever faze. I hadn't  heard of this dude until about 2-3 days ago.

No matter who they get out of the portal, tech will never, ever, ever, make a playoff game. Not in any of our lifetimes. McGuire is just a shitty coach who can't win a shitty conference. ASU came in and in year 1 with an 11-3 record, while tech went their usual 8-5. The last time those rubes won a conference was in 1994.

And 94 was a 4 way tie.  Last outright conference title was 1956.  The border conference.  Hardin Simmons was a member of the border conference.

Discount the Baptists at your own peril, friend.
