I just don't want

it to be close in the 4th quarter. Last year was too stressful.

Go Raiders . . .

4th quarter

I'm ok with it being close in the 4th as long as we're not trying to pull off another 31 point comeback again!!!

by mctrees02 on Jan 1, 2008 10:29 AM CST up reply actions

Agreed.

I do not want to be down 31 to Virginia.

Go Raiders . . .

by Seth C on Jan 1, 2008 11:00 AM CST up reply actions

2nd Half

will be our half. I think Virginia keeps it close and may even lead at half, but Tech defense and offense play wide-open coming out of the half, and wear down Virginia. Texas Tech 34-21

One incredibly long hour to go.

Go Raiders . . .

Crabs goes nuts on the jailbreak.
GH goes on the national stage as a favorite for the Heisman next year.
Ruff seals his future as DC.
We set the stage for a strong finish in recruiting and our 11 win season next year!
Agroids are scared shitless about how dated their 1930's offense is.

GO Raiders!

touchdown Detron

by Freneau on Jan 1, 2008 12:27 PM CST reply actions

TOUCHDOWN RED RAIDERS!

Nice grab by Lewis and nice job by Winn and Carter containing Long. I think they doubled him the entire drive.

Go Raiders . . .

by Seth C on Jan 1, 2008 12:27 PM CST reply actions

Defense is looking

porous. Frustrating to see a blitz w/ no containment.

Go Raiders . . .

by Seth C on Jan 1, 2008 12:37 PM CST reply actions

horrible horrible

by Freneau on Jan 1, 2008 12:40 PM CST reply actions

Virginia made the defense look

absolutely awful, and then to top it off a freaking jump-pass. C'mon.

Go Raiders . . .

by Seth C on Jan 1, 2008 12:41 PM CST reply actions

Nice sack

by B. Williams.

Go Raiders . . .

by Seth C on Jan 1, 2008 12:48 PM CST reply actions

What a turn of events

LaCour gets off a punt that he shouldn't have and then the defense makes some plays. Sewell cannot throw the long ball.

Go Raiders . . .

by Seth C on Jan 1, 2008 12:49 PM CST reply actions

that

was a pretty cool play by the punter. talk about focus.....

Go Big Red Nebraska!

Come on pirates

The Buffs and agrics already went down and we need you and the Tigers to win for the good of the conference.

Just find a short, white and really fast WR and keep throwing him 4 yard passes. Undoubtedly, these will result in touchdowns.

by UT2001 on Jan 1, 2008 12:54 PM CST reply actions

taking care of

white receiver requirement this drive.

I really want the offense back on the field.

Go Raiders . . .

If this game is close

at halftime I'm going to go to my brother-in-law's house across the street and shotgun some beers. It will make me feel better.

Go Raiders . . .

by Seth C on Jan 1, 2008 1:03 PM CST reply actions

I wouldn't worry

2nd half team and all that. Leach already has adjustments in his head and it's just a matter of time before one of the receivers break one of the short passes for a TD.

by UT2001 on Jan 1, 2008 1:11 PM CST up reply actions

I'd like to see them

force the ball to Crabtree.

Go Raiders . . .

by Seth C on Jan 1, 2008 1:15 PM CST up reply actions

After 96 yard TD

I will be shotgunning beers. Ridiculous.

Go Raiders . . .

by Seth C on Jan 1, 2008 1:19 PM CST reply actions

I'll have one as well after that

What? You think I need a reason to drink?

Pathetic

This is embarassing. We should be running all over this team. Graham can't complete a pass that calls for him to throw the ball over 8 yards. Don't get me started on defense.....we look unprepared. I hope the second half can bring something more positive....this is on national TV on new year's day.

Hit'em Wreck'em!

by Naik2001 on Jan 1, 2008 1:24 PM CST reply actions

scored

21-14 now..... hell, you guys can score in streaks, so I wouldn't be too worried until the game's actually over.

i hate being a tech fan

i'm done

by Freneau on Jan 1, 2008 1:24 PM CST reply actions

Its so frustrating

that we are always counting on a quick burst of offense at any point in the game. It would be so nice to have just a little consistency. Sorry to vent, but this is the one thing that gets to me about pirate Mike.....his teams seem so undisciplined.....the penalties, the swiss cheese defense, having to pass on third and short. Don't get me wrong, I bleed red and black, but the team we're seeing today drives me absolutely crazy.

Hit'em Wreck'em!

How can you do that bullshit

twice in a game?

by Seth C on Jan 1, 2008 1:36 PM CST reply actions

WTF???

by UT2001 on Jan 1, 2008 1:36 PM CST reply actions

what?!

This is just stupid, first that lineman releases his block and then stands in front of Harrell with his arms out. GET OUT OF THE WAY!

Just the stupidest play I've ever witnessed so far, and I'm a Texans fan.

by ayleein on Jan 1, 2008 1:39 PM CST reply actions

We're either setting ourselves up

for another comeback or at least 5 more safeties, making this a 28-7 finale.

Go Raiders . . .

I'm going to drink, perhaps

this will make the game more fun.

Go Raiders . . .

by Seth C on Jan 1, 2008 1:52 PM CST reply actions

Tech.....why do you do this to me......

I want to turn the TV off so bad.....but I just can't quit you, Texas Tech. Damn you and your novelty act of an offense. Damn you and the way you whore yourself off on defense. If we didn't have so much history, I would have left you a long time ago.....

Hit'em Wreck'em!

by Naik2001 on Jan 1, 2008 1:55 PM CST reply actions

Sitting in Charlottesville

All UVa fans banned from my house. Watching my beloved Raiders set the record for intentional grounding safeties. I guess we have to make it dramatic for two years in a row.

I've changed shirts and required my 6 year old to don his jersey.

Wreck em Tech.

Onside kick! I love it. Let the comeback begin.

Let's get a stop here.

A turnover or something.

Have they punted from their own territory?

Damnit

So frustrated, have got to do a better job of protecting the ball.

Nobody can hold on to a ball

Either a dropped pass or a fumble every play that drive.

Why, Tech, why????

Charbonnet with

a great defensive play.

I switched

over to Michigan- Florida, where Mike Hart has fumbled twice - both at the goal line, otherwise, Michigan would be kicking the Gator's ass.

I didn't expect that. How is Tech doing?
