Texas Tech Red Raiders @ Oklahoma Sooners GameThread, Nov 22, 2008 7:00 PM CST

I’ve often thought Tech had some collective psychological block relative to away games. I’m perfectly willing to give the opposing defense their due…..but when it appears complete strangers suited up for Tech there’s a issue.

well, we can’t stop OU… onside kicks all 2nd half?

I would really, really love to see leach start to defer: in big games our offense likes to start without our heads in the game. If we get stopped, it gives their team the confidence to make things worse.

ah well, guess it’s time to shave the beard.

The words ‘out-coached’ does come to mind as far as our offense has played, but ‘got the shit kicked out of us’ looks to be the right words for the defense so far.

I don't think it is so much a matter of Tech "not showing up"

I think OU simply is this much better than Tech.

Their OL has been demolishing your DL all night long, and your LBs are nowhere to be found.

I think your OL benefitted from generous referees in Lubbock, and that generosity doesn’t extend to Norman.

OU’s offense is simply very, very, very good, especially when you can’t stop their running game.

I don’t think it is that your team has failed to show up, b/c I think that is a denial of how good this OU team is, and how bad they’re thumping Tech right now.

This crew

also has a very liberal definition of the field boundaries as well. Two bad calls in the first quarter torpedoed two early Tech drives that might have kept this thing close

Beergut, I agree that OU is a very good team, but you can’t be saying that Tech did put its best game on the field tonight. In fact, I’d have to call you crazy (well, more than you already are for being one of the aggie faithful), if you say that the Texas Tech team tonight was the same team that played in Lawrence, Kansas.

This is one of the hardest things i’ve ever watched.

I’m still VERY VERY VERY proud of our team and the things they have done… the enjoyment i’ve gotten from this team and this school up until tonight has been one of the best things in my life so far. we KNOW our team is good, we KNOW we can compete… and this game is very hard to watch… the reason it’s so hard though… is because this is going to make it that much harder for us die hard fans to explain why we love this school so much. all our recent band wagon fans that started liking us because we were the new hot team… they’ll just pass us off and say… eh… coulda been cool… but i’m here to stay and will bleed scarlet and black until the day i die, and i am STILL proud to be a red raider!!!!!

started drinking in the 1st quarter when we were down 21-0 and failed on the 4th down. pretty dang drunk now! and still watching…..god this sucks. hopefully i dont remember this game ever happened…..

makes it more likely that Leach will stay.

get ready for next week

Just as long as we show up for Baylor! I think GH was just too hyped for tonight and never got into the game itself. We will watch them in a bowl blow out the other team!!

Musberger has been waiting all night to call Adam James’ number.

He seems quite pleased with himself.

I watched until they got to 65

and decided to watch the scifi channel. At least it is believable. Why? Why? Why can’t Tech be better prepared for games like this. This team was looking so good and was playing so well, this is a real disappointment. Leach said it best as they went in at the half: “they were all hyped up and we couldn’t bring them down.” The sad thing is this happens at least once every year to throw a cog in the season. Well, maybe they can get by Baylor. With one loss, they can still get to a really good bowl, maybe the Cotton. So much for a special and championship type season. With a loss this bad, we drop down to also-ran status. And the Horns are laughing so loud. Man does that hurt.

Cotton will take Tech over a 3 loss Missouri.

There is no contractual obligation there. Tech goes to Dallas to play LSU or Ole Miss (probably Ole Miss since they won today over LSU).

so, if let’s say OU beats Okie State and texas beats A&M

they both go BCS

does this means the Holiday Bowl for Tech?

I know. my point exactly. it would be rediculous to have a three loss Missouri team ahead of us though. Wait and see how next week goes though. Would hate to back into the Big 12 Championship after a game like tonight though.

That would be the Last Place Beat by Baylor Bowl.

by TT_ on Nov 22, 2008 10:51 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

No. That doesn’t have to happen, sorry beergut.

Key here is that the Cotton can pick “#2” in the big XII and because of the North/South setup, that’s up in the air. Missouri went to the Cotton Bowl last year and with an in-state school available, it will be TTU.

by kayakyakr on Nov 22, 2008 10:52 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

good point

I keep forgetting that they did that in ’98, bypassing K-State for texas.

So, Tech vs Mississippi? Rematch of your non-con series from a few seasons back?

That could get uglier than this year’s Mizzou-Arkansas game.

no, that was the right play to call. It’s less insulting that kneeling the ball and it’s not scoring just for the sake of scoring as kicking a field goal was.

TT_ Remember Leach did the exact same thing with Harrell

In the A&M game and has made no secret of his desire to score everytime Tech gets the ball (regardless of the score or time). For that reason, Tech can’t be pissed about Stoops running it up. It is just a taste of Mike Leach’s medicine.

seriously?

You’re going to complain about running up the score? I thought Leach calls that “continuing to run your offense”?

Besides, running the ball with your 4th string TB isn’t running up the score. They did everything but run backwards.

by Beergut on Nov 22, 2008 11:03 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

I think most Tech fans would agree. I doubt you hear Leach complaining about how Stoops tried to run up the score. Anyway, Maybe other teams will decide to keep their hands off our coach after this game.

by willthetechfan on Nov 22, 2008 11:10 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Dude, I think Leach will leave if he can....

I really do. This was the best team he has ever built here and (as of right now) they are Cotton Bowl bound. With Harrell/Crabtree leaving it will take him 3 years to have another team as competitive as this one. He wanted the UCLA and Miami jobs but didn’t get them. Now, some NFL team or college program will take a shot on him and I think he will take it. He has taken Tech as far as they can go. Now, I think he will try to go somewhere else.

by the1austin on Nov 22, 2008 11:13 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

Bullshit! as far as they can go? You would have said that what ever shit bowl me made it to before is as far as we could go. If we can do it this year than why couldn’t we do it any other year?

by willthetechfan on Nov 22, 2008 11:18 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

The only

issue I had was the Bradford bomb for a TD with the score out of hand. Running the offense and throwing a bomb are a little different. I don’t think it was running up the score, but I don’t think it was “classy” as you like to call it.

by Tech92 on Nov 22, 2008 11:12 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

I've seen Leach run it up so many times

That I just can’t bash Bob for going for the gusto there. If Leach could have beat OU by that score, he would have kept trying to score as well.

Beergut...

Dude, let’s face it. You’re obsessed…

You come all the way over to DTN to criticize our players and Tech’s performance, then talk about how much p*ssy Bradford is gonna be getting tonight. Any time you can take a shot at Tech, you seize the opportunity.

UNFORTUNATELY…

1. TAMU isn’t bowl eligible, Tech is.
2. TAMU sucks this year. Don’t give me that “we’re improving” bullsh*t, your 4-7 record begs to differ.
3. TAMU got beat AT HOME, ON SENIOR DAY by a similar score.
4. Tech played Kansas, Texas, and Oklahoma State before playing OU. Obviously, 3 straight weeks of tough games wears a team down.
5. Tech can still make it to the Big 12 championship game.
6. TAMU has NO CHANCE against Texas, we will CRUSH Baylor, a team who beat you by 21.
7. Tech owns TAMU in basically every men’s sport, except rugby (but that will change once I am on campus).
8. DTN rules
9. See you in LBK next year for a B-E-A-T-D-O-W-N

1. TAMU isn’t bowl eligible, Tech is.

Wow, I wasn’t aware of that, I totally thought teams with an under .500 record could go bowling.

2. TAMU sucks this year. Don’t give me that "we’re improving" bullsh*t, your 4-7 record begs to differ.

We suck, and yet we scored more on OU than the alleged #2 team in the nation did.

I don’t hold any delusions about how good A&M is (or isn’t), but saying that doesn’t somehow change what happened tonight.

3. TAMU got beat AT HOME, ON SENIOR DAY by a similar score.

Hence, OU is very good. Your point is…….?

4. Tech played Kansas, Texas, and Oklahoma State before playing OU. Obviously, 3 straight weeks of tough games wears a team down.

Sorry, but you can’t use this excuse. texas played Oklahoma (and BEAT them), Missouri, and Oklahoma State back-to-back-to-back before traveling to Lubbock to play Tech. And Tech needed a last second TD to win the game after collapsing in the second half. Tech had a bye week to rest from their “tough” gauntlet of Kansas and Oklahoma State around texas, so the “we’re tired” excuse doesn’t hold water.

5. Tech can still make it to the Big 12 championship game.

Sure, if Oklahoma loses to Okie State. And there is still a chance I might win the lottery, but I’m not counting on it.

6. TAMU has NO CHANCE against Texas

I’ve heard that before. In 2006. Again in 2007.

7. Tech owns TAMU in basically every men’s sport, except rugby (but that will change once I am on campus).

I guess you don’t pay much attention to baseball or basketball, do you?

What is this “once I am on campus” stuff? You’re still in high school? That explains A LOT.

8. DTN rules

wtf...

OK…I had to start drinking heavily in the first quarter and just started reading toward the bottom of the posts here…why in the hell does everyone sound so positive?!? That was the worst performance I have seen in watching 20 years of Tech football in literally the biggest game of the season. It is a complete embarrassment.

I won’t take anything away from those kids as we have had, and will have, a great season…but that performance was a complete effing disgrace.

I know there is still a chance at the South title and I hope we route Baylor and anyone else in our path until the end, but I just can’t get my brain around this one. I’m not mad, just incredibly disappointed.

by Techsan71 on Nov 22, 2008 11:09 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

Absolute and total domination. Blame can be equally shared by every single player and coach on the travel squad. Embarrased is an understatement…out played, out coached and out classed in every single facet a game could possibly have. I knew Tech would lose, but never did I see this coming. Nobody but a few hyperactive OU fans called for a blowout.

But in the end, we’re 10-1. If OU loses to the Cowboys, we are off to Kansas City. Win that, and it’s the BCS. If not, it is likely we’ll be headed to the Cotton Bowl or Holiday Bowl. I’m positive 8 of the other 12 teams in the conference would love to be in that spot.
