Hance and Meyers need to Bring Tech nology to us

unfortunately, Seth has asked that we refrain from things that are not fit for the women of the audience and for oldschoolraider. Therfore, lets just say they make nice with each other.

Well, Hance, ostensibly as Tech Chancellor, is a slimy politician whose means to an end is lying to obtain more power and control. Myers,as the A.D., has overseen the complete dismantling of the Tech atheltic program. That has included the precipitous decline of both the men’s and women’s basketball programs, as well as baseball. The improvement of Tech’s men’s and women’s track teams is pure dumb luck – with Tech being the fortunate beneficiary of one or two individuals who have excleed in their respective sports.

Remove the success of Tech’s football program over the past decade, and Tech ranks at the bottom of the Big 12 in success.

And that Tech alums, is what Hance and Myers have been doing: N-O-T-H-I-N-G!!!

The media information coming out of Tech is weak compared Texas and A&M. This site does the best job of all IMO and Seth among the members on here are where the best infomation comes from. I think sports information would get a whole lot better if we performed in other sports such as baseball and basketball. Basketball is just not even on the radar right now. I have hope that baseball can and will improve. If we can manage to succeed in other sports I do believe better media sources will follow but for now it’s a long journey before we see those days. Lastly, lets not forget Gerald Meyers hampers Tech’s chances of improving in anything until he heads to Raider Ranch. Hance needs to stay out of the athletics areana and spend his time politicking foe tier one efforts.

leach never allowed interviews, and tried to keep the team away from the media as possible…he didnt even take crabtree or harrell to the big XII media day in 08.

Tubrtbille is doing the exact opposit, where he is trying to get the fans involved as much as possible ie. matador march, autographs after the spring game, never calls it “his” team. I believe we will see some more dramatic changes from what we were used to.

we have that samesetup with cbs sports, just go to the athetics website and click on the link…

by the way, dont think for a second I’m a 3 stooges supporter, because I’m not and never will be.

THE TECH SPORTS WEB PAGE IS VERY POORLY MAINTAINED. It should be right on the nose for all things Texas Tech Sports. Instead, it may be 24 to 48 hours before updates are given. But, it seems most other schools have a similar problem. I am not sure who is assigned to keeping the web pages up to date, but I think it was mentioned here that it is farmed out to some source that maintains the sites for several schools. I think it should be Tech’s own responsibility to maintain the web page, not some outside entity.

however, decorum prevents me from going further except to say that the Head Football Coach, whether it be Captain Leach or John Fitzgerald Katfish, might have a say in content relative to his particular sport; neither are in charge or should be in charge of the process, website, advertising, blah, blah, blah. We at Texas Tech University have several thousand "associate "atheletic directors in charge of one thing or another, but ultimately it all falls on Dumbass Myers’ shoulders. I doubt if he can even operate a computer to get emails, much less critique a website.
hance on the other hand, needs to stay out of the atheletic department entirely and just keep stealing from the uninformed masses.

Most schools use the CBS folks (see the home page and click on All Access (http://www.texastech.com/) for their home page.

I do think that there are schools that do a better job of putting out information, but Texas Tech isn’t bad, its just that a most people, me included, don’t go there to get my information and you don’t want to go there for an opinion, which is why blogs and message boards are more popular.

And TT’s baseball coverage is usually the best covered sport, hand-down. On most games, there’s quotes, stats, notes, and sometimes video coverage.

While Myers has, ostensibly, control over information through a reporting structure, the frustration is more accurately pointed to the Texas Tech Sports Information Director’s office. Each sport has an SID aide assigned to the news and events of a particular sport. Not defending Myers, but he’s not the one who puts stuff out. The SID is.

the differences are clear…starting with quality of image. I immediately thought of the package I get with satelite providers…it looks as if UT paid for the Gold package and we paid for the Bronze—w/o maintenance.

All in all, DTN remains, IMHO, the best place to simply get good information and enjoy sharing thoughts with fans.

Can’t believe it took me two months to come up with something that obvious. His whole reason for firing was “Weeelll in Dimmitt Texas if you sue yerrr boss, you don’t got a job no more”.
