I am not a huge college football fan but I would love for Tech to win big today
and finish the season undefeated.

So are the boys over at BON
Enjoy the game…don’t get too nutted up…though I’m a FREAKING NERVOUS WRECK!
I'm away from the computer
so keep it going. If no one opens a new thread , I’ll do it at halftime. I’m half drunk.
Go Raiders . . .

Let's Get This Party Started!!!!
Raiders win so I can be an absolutely worthless individual for another week. I am so pumped I think I will freak out if I have to wait another second.
Wreck Em!!!
Agree – but their secondary is nothing special

Tech D
must step up and penetrate the backfield like they did on the safety. Make McCoy uncomfortable and doubt his line.
Still a long way to go. Tech MUST score a TD on this drive.

Tech’s receivers are much better than UT’s secondary

Much more work to do. Far from a done deal

I believe this year’s team is quite focused on playing 4 quarters

I smell blowout if this keeps up in the second qtr
Texas will be gassed by the second half if we can dominate on the next two drives
antibiotics will clear that up in 7-10 days

This is looking good
Just keep doing what you’re doing boys, altho that screen for a loss wasn’t the best. Go Red Raiders!!!
TOUCHDOWN E.Mo!!!!!!!!
Keep it up Raiders!!!!!!!!! If we can get ANOTHER stop here and score ANOTHER TD, this game might be out of hand as long as we play a good second half. No “Red Faders” this year please.
if Tech wins the game do you think the D will get some credit

I hope he gets a chance in the NFL

Almost...
Nice play from Daniel Charbonnet. Should have been a pick, but I’ll take a 3 and out on Texas any day.
the D is killing it tonight

Love that we've

running back have plenty of room to run

should get away with in the first half but i bet not in the 2nd

Halftime
22-6. In order to win this game, Texas Tech MUST keep playing well. In 2006, they expected to win while they were up 21-0. This team is different, because they realize that you have to play the whole game if you want to win and it is VITAL that Tech does that in the second half. If we can stop Texas on their first drive and score a touchdown, we are setting ourselves up to hold on to the lead. Running the ball will be CRUCIAL for those long, sustained drives. I say that if Tech has two scoring drives in which they score a touchdown and eat up a total of 10 minutes, we have a GREAT chance to preserve a win.
Agreed
The last drive by UT with less than 2 minutes to go in the half shows how explosive they can be if Tech lets them. They must continue being aggressive in all phases to put the game away.
by jeffinhouston on Nov 1, 2008 8:52 PM CDT up reply actions
yea, especially when you factor the 40 yard swing on the shipley/penalty play
looks like the UT offense woke up
Coverage
We must keep the pressure on McCoy and his O-line, while locking down Cosby and Shipley. If we can do that, McCoy will be forced to throw to his other receivers, who are still really good, but not as reliable in his eyes.
I'm far less worried.
Anything can happen…..but Tech really wants this thing. There’s a significant difference in attitudes and body language. Texas can pull it out…no doubt. But I don’t see any signs of “typical Tech”.
he might have been concussed from that big hit
by jeffinhouston on Nov 1, 2008 9:35 PM CDT up reply actions
I don't think they break that easily
They’ll eventually begin to creak and sway if you stand on them
They are breaking off b/c for some reason, the students seem to think it is their job to try to rip them off
it will be one score if they convert here
by jeffinhouston on Nov 1, 2008 9:51 PM CDT up reply actions
If you had told me that Tech would be up by 10
beginning 4th quarter and they have the ball, I would take that every time. Now let’s finish what was started in the 1st quarter.
I think these next two plays are MASSIVE. We have to stem the Texas tide. We have done s*** on offense this half.
With such a dominant yardage (442 to 203) advantage
and even larger time of possession advantage you’d think Tech would have this game in hand by now. But they don’t. They must score a TD on this drive.
Man, I get absolutely NO sense of urgency from the offense. Who would have thought the defense carried us into the fourth against Texas??
nickerson will be a target the rest of game . . he is a marked man . . he has
no gas
by sleestak nation on Nov 1, 2008 10:15 PM CDT reply actions
quit freaking running the ball…let’s freaking attack!!! Running has been nice to eat clock, but our scoring is WAYY down.
or at least run it with batch if it’s going to be between the tackles
by jeffinhouston on Nov 1, 2008 10:24 PM CDT up reply actions
and can you imagine if tech needs a fg to win at the end?
by jeffinhouston on Nov 1, 2008 10:29 PM CDT up reply actions
how
the hell do they call pass interference on that play?
Go Big Red Nebraska!

that 1st and goal situation was largely on harrell. he had a lot of room in the middle of the field, could have moved it back to at least the 10 with an underneath shot.
bad pass interference call
but they should have tried to move the ball a little instead of just going for the kill
nice
defense on that shovel.
good job of keeping everything in front of them.
Go Big Red Nebraska!

I don’t think anything can be done. However, I wish the administration would address that rushing the field crap.

Crabtree Legit Heisman Candidate
As good as the QB’s are, including Tebow, Crabtree is really unique.

Congrats guys
That was awesome. What a game, what an ending, what a win.
http://www.rakesofmallow.com
I thought you guys played a terrific game.
I’m just sorry I’m on the losing end. My sister and her husband and kids went to Texas Tech as did my cousin. I went to Texas. I was out numbered. I thought we had you but that was a great finish. I’m usually on the winning side of that score.
Great game TT guys and gals!!
This is the happiest day of my life..............
Thankyou Seth and DOUBLETNATION……..I love everyone here and I todl you so………if we can keep this intensity………TTU NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now you guys get to go through the grinder!!
We’ll we won three of the four. Let’s see how you guys do. Good luck to you regardless of the outcome!!
UT
Boy, hat’s off to UT and McCoy on that comeback. That was a dagger, I thought. I honestly felt like Texas won that game at the end. I totally underestimated Tech’s ability to beat Texas. Yeah, we’ve had some pretty awesome comebacks at the end but they were against the likes of Minnesota and UVa. But Texas?
We really won this game. Texas didn’t blow it.
Great game
Tech played a hell of a game and M.C. is amazing please tell him to get in the NFL ASAP! Good luck the rest of the way
3 out of 4???????????????????????????????
Since when would Texas ever be happy about 3 out of 4? Especially to Texas Tech.
This sounds alot like OK last year saying they lost with their back-up quarterback. So this is the dawn of a new age. Could it be Tech and OK State have begun to turn the tide? Anyway, I can’t wait to next week as I will be traveling from Jackson, MS to the South Plains for OK State game. We really beat #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Destiny was on our side—-500th win in TECH history against #1 Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wreck’em Tech
Wow.
We really played hard and TECH won the game. Texas didn’t hand us the win, that’s for sure. I really hope this is the push over the brink for Texas Tech football and athletics as a whole.
OMG
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
THIS IS AMAZINGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! I’M FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fun has just begun. Now the 2 ok’s to dispose of and a managable mizzou (31-28 over BAYLOR??) One game at a time and keep up that freakin’ awesome INTENSITY!!! Great game Defense and special teams!! Oh, and offense, you played pretty well also! If Crabtree has a couple of ballbreakin’ games, he will be atop the heisman list after that last play that all of America just witnessed! And Graham is already atop that list, too (sorry colt). TTU!!!!!
You can all thank me now...
…for inspiring the embarrassing admissions that surely gave the Raiders the win. All kidding aside, great win and congratulations. That was one of the most exciting games of football I have seen in quite some time.
