I just did a search on “animated GIF” & came across it. But I have watched the original video about 40 times this week. It’s like a David Lynch film outtake. It must have been staged.

I tend to speculate tech will score points against this OSU defense. I think it’s a footrace but our defense keeps us from taking a large enough lead.
WILL THE TEXAS TECH DEFENSE BE ABLE TO HOLD OKLAHOMA ST. TO UNDER 175 YARDS RUSHING?
Seriously doubt it unless a whole new defense shows up that we haven’t seen this year.
WILL THIS YEAR BE LIKE LAST YEAR AT THE WOUNDED WARRIOR GAME, AN UPSET OF A RANKED OPPONENT?
It’s possible but I have say I think last years team was better than what we have this year defensively. Seems like our guys are less aggressive this season and give up easily.

WILL TEXAS TECH SEE AN END TO THEIR SCORING DROUGHT FROM THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND BE ABLE TO PUT 30 ON THE BOARD?.
Tech is overdue for an explosion of scoring .Tech has the tools but they need a full up effort wherein the O line, Qb and receivers supported by the Running backs to get moving. RB’s need to break a collective 20 plus touches and 100 yards. The "O" must avoid egregious penalties like hands to the face or personnel fouls and just make routine plays going down the field. A couple of years ago Seth said something like this score more than 24 points and all the options are on the table. I think it breaks down to this: scoring on 4 plus possessions by Tech or anybody.. Demoralizes and exposes the defense. They start playing like very play is a must win situation and therefore make mistakes. Each mistake leaves a window open for exploitation..it’s that exploitation which will allow the Raiders to crack 30 points.
WILL THE TEXAS TECH DEFENSE BE ABLE TO HOLD OKLAHOMA ST. TO UNDER 175 YARDS RUSHING?
Get a mismatch some place and ram it down the opposing offenses throat. Problem with holding these guys or getting a mismatch is they have a lot of options. I expect OSU to run it inside the 40 yard line – to the end zone or put another way anytime it is 2nd short look out. So as far as holding them under 175 yards its going to take some excellent tackling for a loss(4 to 7) and QB sacks (2 plus). Just math baby so I guess I am not optimistic they hold them down but perhaps the stunts work better this week and the Raiders nick them up and force a few bad throws? Okay Weeden doesn’t throw badly just errant throws. I’ll settle for that.
WILL THIS YEAR BE LIKE LAST YEAR AT THE WOUNDED WARRIOR GAME, AN UPSET OF A RANKED OPPONENT?
I think the team will be fired up.. You’ve got a Medal of Honor winner on the sidelines and the other Wounded Warriors Purple heart fellas talking it up. They simply need to dominate some aspect of the game blocking, blitzing, tackling, pass break ups and then run routine plays down the field when they have the ball. Will it take a few forced fumbles? Absolutely. Fired up Raiders can take the fight to these guys.

WILL TEXAS TECH SEE AN END TO THEIR SCORING DROUGHT FROM THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND BE ABLE TO PUT 30 ON THE BOARD?
Yes, the OSU defense is not that good
WILL THE TEXAS TECH DEFENSE BE ABLE TO HOLD OKLAHOMA ST. TO UNDER 175 YARDS RUSHING?
No way no how.
WILL THIS YEAR BE LIKE LAST YEAR AT THE WOUNDED WARRIOR GAME, AN UPSET OF A RANKED OPPONENT?
If we hold OSU to 3-4 field goals instead of TD’s, we have a chance. I think this is the second straight game where our opponent is not forced to punt. But is they kick field goals on 3-4 possessions, we have a chance in a shootout.

I’m pasting a youtube of Tech vs Ole Miss in 2003. I think this game could be that kind of game. I was at the game in Oxford, MS, one of a few hundred Tech fans there. The Tech defense was horrible that year, but managed to hold Ole Miss to filed goals a few possessions, and force a couple of turnovers. If we do the same against OSU, the score could be the same -— Tech 49 OSU 45
And BTW, the intro to this video really fits the Veterans Day theme!
Great video
Our guys looked much bigger on defense IMO. Also, the passing game was solid with receivers that knew how to catch a pass. Ahh..the good ole days.
"You've got to find your inner pirate" - Mike Leach
Yes, the good old days....
BJ Symons, Wes Welker, Carlos Francis, Taurean Henderson, and the Captain on the sidelines…..
BTW, the Ole Miss defense was recruited and trained by Tubs. He left in 2002 for Auburn. And their defense that year looked a lot like Tech’s this year. Coincidence?

one time just north of Denver. It was almost as awesome as a choklit fountain. I tried to make some buffalo burgers on the grill a couple of years ago and they just fell apart because they’re so lean.

I love buffalo burgers
have to agree with you on the steak though. Never understood why people think filet mignon is so great since it’s so lean as well. Little to marbling = no flavor in my book. Marbling is fat. Fat = yummy flavor!!

Tuby is losing this team and this will be the third straight week that we will be embarrassed, Tuby will now be 1-7 at home and like Obama I predict on Monday he will blame the loss on “not having the athletes” and partial blame to Leach for his recruiting class from a few years ago…
On a side note the Iowa St fans are most likely not saying that their drumming of us a few weeks back was because they had"superior athletes" but that they have better coaches who attacked our weakness and ALL of our coaches could not make adjustments
