UT Longhorns @ Texas Tech Raiders

[Cant_Be_Faded]

49 - 35 Longhorns



post score predictions here

Our Dibbles' are going to own, we gotta hope our Geiggar doesn't make any mistakes.

[The Reckoning]

ill say this one is close

UT 55
Tech 45

[MajorMike]

For whatever reason I see the score being lower than everyone predicts (ala OSU/Mizzou & OSU/UT).

37-32 UT

[Blake]

Tech 98 UT -3

UT gets pummeled so badly that their kicker kicks it through the wrong set of uprights.

Mack Brown gets so furious that Leach is running up the score that he quits coaching and takes on an acting role as sherriff Roscoe P Coltrain in the new and improved Dukes of Hazzard.

Leach is so content with the victory that he quits as well and goes back to doing what he does best: singing country music duets with his wife Amy Grant

There is no way Cap'n Leach stops at 98. None. Speaking of kickers, how did the kid from the contest do last week?

[Blake]

he made all 9 extra points. The one field goal try was attempted by the regular kicker Carona.......who of course missed it.....

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Leach send the new kid in to a kick a field goal.

[Holmes_Fans]

I sick of hearing about that stupid kicker. He kicked in HS so it's not like he had never ever kicked a field goal before that contest.

To each their own. I dislike Tech but I'll be at the theater the Friday Disney releases this kid's movie.

[shelshor]

Since, if the weather forecast is correct, the sand storm doesn't come thru until Tuesday:
Texas--47
Texas Tech--44

[tlongII]

Texas Tech 38
U of Texas 28

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Why do people call Leach a pirate?

[CubanMustGo]

He is somewhat obsessed with them.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Texas - 45
Tech - 41

As much as I'm looking forward to this game, it's still only #2 on my list of games I have interest in on Sat.

[Kermit]

Butt pirate.

[GaryJohnston]

Anyone ever hear the clip where Leach is giving dating advice to his players? Freakin hilarious. Leach is an awesome interview......

Texas 56
Tech 35

[benefactor]

45-38 Texas. Tech will bring it but it won't be enough. The defense makes big plays late in the game.

[Thunder Dan]

I think Texas will win

I also said the Rays would never make the playoffs and Ohio State would beat USC

[j-6]

Texas 49, Prairie Pirates 41.

[Roxsfan]

Longhorns win.

[IronMexican]

I think Texas will win

I also said the Rays would never make the playoffs and Ohio State would beat USC

OSU could win next year.

[leemajors]

sweet way to show up.

[Whisky Dog]

Holy shit, is there no longer holding on the offensive line in college football? Tech's line has held on virtually every passing play, most of them blatant as hell. Come on zebra, do your fucking job.

I was afraid Texas has just played too many big games in a row and this was Tech's only chance to win. Texas is going to have to step it up big and gut out a win in this one.

[Slinkyman]

Texas getting fucked by the refs, phantom face mask right after a delay of game penalty wasn't called. bullshit.

[monosylab1k]

This is just too many big games in a row for Texas. The team looks mentally tired. Not even Black Jesus could have survived this gauntlet of consecutive games.

[leemajors]

nice to see Greg Davis and 2007 Colt show up!

[Slinkyman]

play calling couldn't be worse right now, just pathetic.

[crc21209]

Texas just needs to calm down and go one play at a time right now, because they are playing Tech and the refs at this point right now.

[crc21209]

That offensive line of Tech holds on every damn play! Geez! Wheres the call?!?!

[leemajors]

Blake = prophet

[leemajors]

Greg Davis is killing this team, and Colt refuses to get rid of the ball. awesome.

[Holmes_Fans]

play calling couldn't be worse right now, just pathetic.

What are you talking about? It makes perfect sense to pop TT in the mouth with 2 runs for 10+ yards right after a turnover and clearly have momentum, then decide to do a long developing run that hasn't worked all season and give up 5 yards..................

[Whisky Dog]

That playcalling was pure shit. If we can't run right up the gut on techs 3 man line with safeties 15 yds deep the this team deserves to lose. Establish some run and hit deep as techs DBs can't cover deep. Malcolm and Shipley already got behind them easily. Gonna have to wake up and fucking ball to pull this one out.

[dallaskd]

Horns are going to win this.

[dallaskd]

Fuck Texas.

VY could win this game. Colt needs to grow a pair and a take an old lesson from Vince.

[leemajors]

Fuck Texas.

VY could win this game. Colt needs to grow a pair and a take an old lesson from Vince.

if you mean ignoring G Davis' play calls, then yes.

[dallaskd]

if you mean ignoring G Davis' play calls, then yes.

VY did his own thing. If Colt wants to win he needs to do the same.

[Whisky Dog]

Those dirty dust fuckers finally got their perfect storm and got helped by the schedule.

Congrats, you dirty, ugly, inbred bastards.

[Spurtacus]

This game fucking blows. Hopefully we won't drop too bad in the BCS rankings.

[Spurtacus]

Holy shit. I hope I eat my own words. I'll eat my own shit for a Texas comeback tonight.

[dallaskd]

I don't believe this. Tech might be better going for this. The kicker will shank this one. watch it.

[dallaskd]

well he hit it. only down by six though.

[CubanMustGo]

This drive isn't taking enough time off the clock.

[CubanMustGo]

o shit, fg range.

[baseline bum]

What a fucking drive!!!!

[IceColdBrewski]

Ball game

[CubanMustGo]

Good to see Tech get one after all the second-half collapses in the series. Ladies and gentlemen, your new leader in the Heisman Trophy race is Graham Harrell.

A texas tech QB will never win the heisman

[timvp]

UT will win it all next year :tu

[Whisky Dog]

Cant believe were losing to this team. Worst team we've played in 4 weeks. OSU and OU are going to murder them. What a fucking disgrace, but that's the way it goes.

[dallaskd]

Tech is about to lose 2 in a row.

[tlongII]

USC will be sending a Thank You note to Texas shortly.

[Whisky Dog]

Tech plays the best possible game they are humanly capable of playing and we play like shit for 3 quarters and still had the game. I hate losing to inferior people because you blow off most of the game. Mother fucking damn son of a fat ass bitch.

[txallstar]

TT blew their wad this game. OSU will win and OU will drop them quick It always happens. The safety just walking over to grabtree he could have knocked that ball down. then just look and takle the guy game over.

UT wasnt supposed to be this good this soon, still have a chance. 2ndary showed their inexperience.

TT once again showing their usual 2nd half collapses.

[IronMexican]

What a game.

[Whisky Dog]

Fuck shit ass got damn mother fucker.

[The Reckoning]

tech fans are horrible. i threw up in my mouth watching them storm the field twice when there was still time on the clock and almost blew the game for themselves with two unsportsmanlike penalties. colt will be back, and the young team will mature, so im optimistic about next year when i get student season tickets. hook 'em.

[Anti.Hero]

hahahahhaha

That was awesome.

[leemajors]

akina still needs to be fired

[Whisky Dog]

Still need to win out and probably go to Big 12 title after tech gets handled by the Oklahoma schools. Got damn I feel like a USC fan who just lost to inferior ass Oregon St.

[Borosai]

Texas' defense sucked hard, especially the final two plays: an EASY interception that would've ended the game was dropped, and then weak coverage/tackling on the TD pass.

[IronMexican]

Red Raider in korea, and BUMP are gonna post at 4 in the morning after partying

Except Oregon State never came close to being (a) undefeated or (b) ranked in the top 100. And yet those bastards at USC have a better chance of playing for the championship than Texas will. The BCS fucking sucks putrid green donkey dick.

[The Reckoning]

its that incredible academic program

[Slinkyman]

Are you surprised people at Tech have a hard time reading anything?

[txallstar]

fucking sucks, i thought that ball was picked off and game over.

[robbie380]

USC will be sending a Thank You note to Texas shortly.

tell them to send the note to blake gideon. even fucking dikembe mutombo could have caught that interception.....:pctoss:pctoss:pctoss

[IronMexican]

What a crappy way to lose. You guys must feel like me after the Rose Bowl.

[Slinkyman]

What a crappy way to lose. You guys must feel like me after the Rose Bowl.

No, USC lost to the better team that night. Tonight we beat ourselves and lost to a inferior team.

[Fabbs]

Quit yer whining Texass fans and spouting about how your team is better. Greasy pass interferance calls against TT largely helped fuel your comeback.
1st defensive then the lame offensive call when Texass db flopped after minimal contact.

I will say this Texas, what was t-h-a-t on the final play? 1st the db could have just batted it down, but what about the help db? The help guy did nothing but run all the way over to the play and run out of bounds upfield beyond the TT reciever and teamate db. What a joke. Was he taking himself out of the play so his uniform wouldnt get dirty or what?

Game would not have ended with tackle tho. Easy field goal by TT and ballgame.

[samikeyp]

I had the Horns losing twice this year to OU and Tech...sadly I was still half right.

Still, a hell of a game though and UT is not out of it for a BCS game or the Big XII title, they just need some help.

Props to the Dread Pirate Leach. :toast

[leemajors]

props to leach, he had his team ready to play at kickoff

[The Reckoning]

here comes 10 years of nonstop tech shit-talking. get out your earplugs because its going to be annoying as hell.

[Horry For 3!]

I can't believe that saftey couldn't freakin catch the damn ball.

[2centsworth]

tech was the better team tonight. Defensively they played balls out.

Texas should have taken a knee on 2nd and goal, but that was just my crazy thinking.

Texas had their chances, Tech finished. Good job.

[txallstar]

cant believe the other safety didnt help out and get crabtree he was there just trotting over like no big deal

2ndary saved leach's team from the usual collapse ala osu. props for tt ready to play from the beginning but ill take it this way fuck it 9pts were freebie and ut couldnt afford that

[Kermit]

Shit. Tech opened a can of whoopass, almost choked it away, and then sealed the game in one of the best UT/Tech games I can remember. Great game sand aggies. Now lose to OU or OSU. Please.

[samikeyp]

Losing to both would be better for we UT fans. :)

nevermind all the holding and illegal hands to the face that TT got away with tonight. the refs were horrible on both sides....in fact the Big 12 officiating has sucked all year. despite the officiating, both teams put forth a tremendous effort and an exciting and memorable game.

props to TT on the win.

HOOK EM HORNS.

[BUMP]

i knew UT would come back no matter what and make a play that would make Tech make a play. (lolz if you know what i mean:p:) i just got back from it all and that was a crazy atmosphere. best athletic event ive ever been to.

i was pleased with how we were able to sustain long drives not only this year but in this game with our spread offense. that was the difference imo. but anyway gg, (and going to Norman scares the hell out of me)

[J.T.]

here comes 10 years of nonstop tech shit-talking. get out your earplugs because its going to be annoying as hell.

In two weeks, people will look back at this game and remember it as the game that Tech needed every second on the clock to beat the #1 team in the NCAA and only made it up to #2.

[redraiderinfiji]

no shit, i wish texas could kick tech's ass every weekend! :ihit
stupid bitch!

[redraiderinfiji]

yeah thats called #2! Where the hell is your team at bitch?????

[redraiderinfiji]

and normally when you are ranked lower than the number ONE team in the country...........EVERY FUCKING SECOND COUNTS! YOU ARE A DUMBASS!

[monosylab1k]

There are two etched-in-stone football truths in this world, and Texas broke one of them.

1. Defense wins championships.
2. Playing a white defensive back will always bite you in the ass.

[redraiderinfiji]

Of course every tech fan knew the horns would come back......but TECH finally shut them the hell up!

GUNS UP!

[redraiderinfiji]

Texas 49, Prairie Pirates 41.

f - you!

[redraiderinfiji]

dumb shit

That joint looked like an insane asylum - I especially liked all the Joker makeup in the student section. The TV guys kept talking about how loud and crazy it was there. I've been there during the tortilla years and it was pretty rowdy then. Last night must have been a frickin' zoo.

UT was lucky to keep it as close as it was, with a pick-six (yeah, I hate that term too) and a safety given up on offense and around 600 yards given up on defense. That Raider running game really makes a difference. Tech barely attempted to run the last couple of years against UT and even with Harrell putting the ball in the air 50+ times last night, Leach ran the ball, what, 25 snaps? I bet they got more yards on the ground than the Longhorns did.

I think Tech will struggle more with Okie State next week than they will in Norman. All speculation aside, my congrats to the Prairie Pirates. They gave it away late and took it right back - Gideon's drop notwithstanding.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Tech outhustled and physically manhandled our offense last night.

The defense got tired early due to the feeble play of our offense. We had 2 minutes of possession 18 minutes into the game. Then Cosby, Orakpo, and Roy Miller all get injured. Orakpo getting injured is like tying one hand behind the defense's back. But after that horrible horrible performance we still had three chances to win this game. And we blew all three.

[txallstar]

ut's d has given up points so it was bound to catch up with them but giving away 9pts to the tt d didnt help.

white defensive back? may have dropped that sure pick but how about the other 2 black guys that were torched all night and the last play was brutal the other safety just walking over there and the db doesnt know how to cover on a last second bomb

enjoy your championship game for the season.

[FromWayDowntown]

Tech and UT each had 28 snaps characterized as runs. Texas gained 80 yards on those 28 snaps; Tech gained 105 yards on those snaps. But Batch and Woods each averaged better than 4.5 yards per carry, which honestly amazed me.

I noticed that the Tech o-line, which has kept notoriously huge splits for years, seemed to play something closer to the traditional 2 foot splits last night. It really surprised me that Tech could close down their splits like that and still effectively run the ball against that UT front. But I also think that Tech effectively wore out the UT front early; over the first couple of drives, Texas got consistent pressure on Harrell, who was sacked at least once, pressured several other times, and hurried or forced to evade on a few other downs. But after about the 5 minute mark of the first quarter, Texas really seemed to struggle with putting on pressure (particularly in the first half) and Harrell had all kinds of time to read the defense.

With all of that, why so much bitterness towards Tech from Longhorns fans? It's not like Baylor or Iowa State won that game last night. Tech might not be Oklahoma, but somehow I suspect that UT fans would be less bitter if that loss had been at Stillwater instead of Lubbock.

[j-6]

Texas Fan's perception of Tech Fan is a classless hooligan in a dirt-caked F-150 with their Greek letters, a double T, and a Rebel flag decals on the back window, drinking Kentucky Deluxe out of a Jack Daniel's bottle, a Copenhagen can in each back pocket, calling everyone in different colors a cocksucker and a motherfucker, looking for singles and pairs to go jump with the rest of his spring pledge class after the game.

And I'm sure they think of us as oxford and khaki pantywaists with Denali's full of Heineken.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I'm really pissed off how that guy basically got orakpo in a choke hold and twisted him around letting his lower body just dangle and wait for another hit like that.

Orakpo got injured last year in the first game by someone taking out his knees on a block, now this shit. He's probably done for the year with a fucked up ACL or MCL. I'd rather we get blown out by 50 points and have Orakpo healthy. Him being out puts the entire season in jeopardy IMO.

it really was, luckily i got to sit right by the tunnel where UT comes out at.:devil

i yelled most of the time but nothing too harsh to any of the UT players except for one player that i hate. Dan Buckner.

he KILLED our high school in football and i knew he was only a freshmen, so as soon as i saw him i poked my head under the curtain and screamed "You're out of your league Buckner!" he actually turned around cause he was really only a few feet away. i mean most of the UT players were smart and ignored me and #37 (Melton?) just looked up and laughed at me. Buckner did drop his first ball thrown at hi though, he's only a freshmen. im smart enough to know that heckling usually doesnt effect players especially #1 UT but its obvious he heard me and he's probly not used to getting individually heckled like that cause he's only a freshman so was it I that actually rattled him?

who knows.

a couple of other stories, i collected, was two hours before the game there was a guy sitting on the other side of the tunnel from me with his burnt orange and a UT afro with white and orange on. he was standing up making himself known that he was a fan sitting in the middle of the student section, so it didnt take long for everybody to notice him. it started from individual heckling, to "kick his ass" chants, to throwing ice at him, throwing other stuff at him, (i didnt throw anything im not a dick) somebody actually came up behind took his hat off, racked him in the balls, then ran off with his hat, and then later he gets drenched when somebody nails him with a beer cup.

then a cop comes, and his friend then gets hit with a water bottle. the guy gets pissed and throws it back and then the cop IMMEDIATELY ESCORTS HIM OUT?! then later the UT guy gets escorted out. there were probly three or four UT fans who were escorted out of our section before the game even started. they didnt do anything wrong, so i dont understand what went on there

[J.T.]

Tech outhustled and physically manhandled our offense last night.

They did that by committing about six hundred holding penalties per linesman, none of which were called during the game.

[J.T.]

yeah thats called #2! Where the hell is your team at bitch?????

I really have no vested interest in UT winning a national championship other than the fact that I live 20 minutes outside of Austin and want to go to NC parties again. Have you ever been to a national championship celebration party? They're pretty bad ass. But I doubt they would be as bad ass if a team from a dry county won a NC.

[cash459]

:whine :lmao

[CubanMustGo]

I guess the defensive linemen were holding too, because UT's offense sucked most of the game.

[Holmes_Fans]

The 5 dropped passes in the first half including Shipley's dropped touchdown pass is what did Texas in. Way to many shit drives in the first half.

Greg Davis sucks. Malcom Williams owned the man guarding him every play and yet they only went deep twice...
