Alamo Bowl

[DMX7]

Is Craig James at the game, lol? :lol

[Doug Collins]

They brought in Bob Davie to avoid the "conflict of interest".

Adam James looks like quite the douche on the sidelines. Glad he's wearing his uniform so everyone can point him out.

I fuckin love this! Go spartans.

lol, I saw that. He even has his headband on. Reminds me so much of kevin federline.

What's wrong with headbands?

Nothing, as long as you're not a rich daddy's boy.

Back when k-fed was still riding the Spears gravy train. Current k-fed is pushing about 400 lbs of pure fat, it really was an amazing transformation. Depression is a hell of an emotional disorder.

[CosmicCowboy]

ESPN is really slanting the coverage anti-Leach. "He can't treat Adam any differently than any other player"...What a surprise.

[samikeyp]

Sparty is looking surprisingly good. :toast

They're playing great and they've gotten some breaks. Considering what's transpired, its hard not to pull for them.

[CosmicCowboy]

Yeah, this turned out to be a good game. Tech killed themselves at the start of the second half with those two turnovers...

[BUMP]

I guarantee you if Sheffield was the QB all season, we'd be 11-1 the lone loss coming to UT.

This guy was lights out while he played.

Threw 5 TDs in one half against UNM

Threw 7 TDs against KSU

Completed dominated the Nebraska defense in Lincoln in a 31-10 Tech rout

Got hurt after that and Tech dropped a head scratcher at A&M

"We'd"??? You're a Lobo now, lol.

But in all seriousness. I'm happy for Tech. I was pulling for them because this would have been a really bad loss even without the head coach.

[DMX7]

I'm not quite sure who the ESPN commentators think should be the new Tech head coach.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This was one of the best bowl games thus far....everything a casual fan could have wanted.


Tech going for it on fourth and 5+ TWICE on their game clinching drive took so much fucking balls....but rolling the dice paid off....give mad prahps to Tech for being on point today.

Anyone who says Sticks should be the Tech QB is out of their mind....in NCAA Potts arm strength would be 95 and Sheffield's would be 81. Using Sheffield game after game would basically turn Tech to a defenseless team with a shitty poor man's Colt McCoy. Potts played pretty fucking well, and I don't get all the Potts hate from the Tech fanbase. He has a gun.


Mich State sucks. Tech took care of business, bet Leach is proud.

Fuck ESPN, they were so slanted on the whole Adam James thing everything they ever say after this day should be suspect to even the casual fan.

Also LOLOLOLOL at Holth and Mark May saying how bad Ole Miss pwnt OSU on that INT for a touchback, while not showing or mentioning the over-the-top blatant offsides that was not called.

[Chris]

I was at the game and James got boo'd badly by the majority of the crowd twice when he left for half-time and when he came back for the second half. Was a great game and MIchigan State crowd was completely stunned when we converted the 4th and 4 and walked right into the endzone. I was surprised they benched Potts but it worked out for the best.

you're a part time Aggie, so it's hard for you to pull for Tech.

I'm hoping Sticks gets the starting gig next year.

Imo,

Potts has an NFL arm but has cement for legs and his decision making and accuracy are suspect at times.

Sticks has average college level arm strength, but can move, make good decisions, has a nice touch and he has a strong competitive nature that seems to spread to his teammates.
