Tell me about Texas Tech
I don't think it's so much about "pulling your head out", which to me implies a lack of intelligence (maybe you mean it in a different way), as it is about looking at the situation with a modicum of objectivity. (For me, the truth is Leach was <10% of the problem - but was part of it - and the admin and GOB guys who made it happen were >90% of the problem.) Instead, most Tech fans' reactions landed closer to the two extremes of either "he fucked over my school so fuck him" or "Tech fired my coach so fuck Texas Tech for all of eternity! I hope Tech never wins another football game!" And that's because too many Tech fans are thin skinned and hypersensitive and tend to quickly circle the wagons to defend their position as soon as things get difficult. We're probably not the only fanbase like this, but we're collectively definitely like this. The saddest part of all this - besides, of course, the last decade of shit football we've been served up - is that while the GOBs back in the '00s definitely got scared that the football program would start to get too big for them to control anymore, the current GOBs are ready to pay a fortune to get us back where we were as of 2009. Maybe they wouldn't be so determined if football hasn't been so bad for so long (with all the negatives that come along with being bad at football, besides just watching the futility on the field), but it just sucks that we had a coincidence of petty, small minded leadership at the same time that we could have invested in the future and built on 2008 instead of blowing it all up.

Tell me about Texas Tech
Yeah, I think it's a good idea to help the transition to the new regime, first and foremost, but I also think it's smart politics from McGuire not to cut him loose now, so no one can say Cumbie didn't get a fair shake. I think he's a pretty mediocre OC, but there are a lot of Tech fans that still really like the guy.

2021-22 Big XII Basketball Thread of Fuck Baylor
I don't think they really give a fuck, at least not relative to what they put into football and baseball. It wasn't so long ago that most Texas schools had this attitude towards men's hoops. Now it's just them and aggy.

Tell me about Texas Tech
They let it all hang out last week against ISU - and it worked - but I don't think they had anything else left to pull out of the bag after that. ISU wasn't ready for our redshirt QB, but OSU was.

Lincoln is a pussy, so whatever the pussy move is in this case, that's what he'll do.

Texas Tech v. ISU Tornado Birds
We've had 6 losing seasons out of the last 7 and 5 in a row. OSU fans wouldn't be turning up for that shit either.

The refs are trying their best to give this to ISU, but they're just sucking too much.

Texas Tech is hiring a new Head Football Coach
I would have thought so before that game happened. I never expected they would fire him mid season, but it sounds like one or more of the big money guys were already pushing to get rid of him and the KSU choke job was the final straw for them. I'm sure Kirby Hocutt would have liked to have given him the last four games to win another one, as unlikely as that would've been. Wells was 100% his guy, so this is a big black mark on Hocutt's resume.

Texas Tech is hiring a new Head Football Coach
OK, short answer: he's not shown improvement this year. We've beaten UH (barely), SFA (even more barely), FIU, WVU and KU. We lost to UT 70-35 and TCU 52-31 (in Lubbock). We weren't competitive for even one quarter in either game. Last weekend, we led a bad KSU team 24-10 at the half, then got shut out in the 2nd half and lost 25-24. We still have OSU, OU, ISU and Baylor left on the schedule, i.e. the best four teams in the Big 12.
