Swirling tired head
After fast-forwarding through the UT/A&M game last night just to check out the train wreck, I found myself once again managing the struggle between my id and superergo. My id says we should put together the most negative, wide-spread campaign against all things UT football highlighting the appropriate 39-33 headline. My superego tells me to rise above the level of the logic-challenged brain that is the UT fan.
In case you missed it...
As I was fast-forwarding, I saw some dude in a UT t-shirt on the sideline with a headset on. I hit play and it appeared he was a (the?) UT student who either put together the 45-35.com site or put together a Facebook group of the same name. Not sure. Didn't feel like rewinding and having to tolerate the dude any more than I had to. So here is ABC, giving full coverage to this guy in the middle of the game...not a football player, not a coach...just so he could shill the whole 45-35 concept. When the guys in the booth asked him about the fact that Tech beat them he said something along the lines of (paraphrasing) "if they were as intelligent and as politically active as us maybe they could put something together that is as good"...blah, blah, blah. Don't remember the rest.
So not only do they have a completely baseless campaign going that drives my math brain crazy, ABC was nice enough to give them the biggest stage in America on Thursday night to push that agenda.
But, despite all of that, the superego again pushes aside the id as it does for so many of my level-headed brethren that share this site. Let the chips fall as they may.
GO TECH!

He came up with that line after they gave him a commercial break to think of a comeback. His first response when they asked him about 39-33 was a bunch of stuttering. The announcers laughed and said ‘I guess we could take that as a no comment’.

The UT student said (paraphrased) “if they were as intelligent and as politically active as us maybe they could put something together that is as good”…blah, blah, blah. Well if intelligence is involved, according to the released graduation rates, UT is in THE BOTTOM 10 along with OKLAHOMA! Meanwhile TEXAS TECH IS IN THE TOP 10. SO, intelligence is really on OUR SIDE. TEXAS TECH ROCKS!
