August 10Aug 10 Popular Post Texas doesn't owe Tech the time of day. Texas helped Tech "abandon" its conference mates in the Border so it could play big boy ball in the SWC. Tech rode our coattails into the Big 12. Tech was all too happy to be a part of the hate-on-Texas program that saw our league commissioner, no less, take sides against us. Maybe if Tech wants to play us in Austin occasionally as one-offs, we could meet. Two problems with that: (1) it would mean a loss of the opportunity for a less hateful school to boost its profile, and (2) Tech, so far as I know, thinks instead they should be in the bucket with Michigan et al-- home and home. No. TLDR: sorry the single biggest day for your economy every biennium got canceled. Well, bye.

I can imagine it would feel really good to all the Red Raiders if a Tech flex could bend UT to their will, but that plan shows a combination of naïveté, aggression and ignorance Texas gave the proposal the old “yeah, sure, we’d be open to that” while trying to get the early exit deal done. Shortly thereafter, it became clear that that wouldn’t help any part of the early exit deal. As well, Tech was politicking with the state legislature to work their way into the PUF. They trying to align a bunch of Baylor and UH people to get themselves in with the “let’s stick it to the bastards” notion. Once all that was known and shut down, it’s since become Texas’ desire to give Tech the UH treatment in almost all sports. 11 minutes ago, Brian Fantana said: You guys care way too much about petty shit.

August 10Aug 10 Looking back on some of those tweets does make me laugh, though. I'm glad Cody decided to stop running his mouth and actually take real steps to help improve the program. He was acting like that for a while, and the Tech AD didn't want anything to do with him. He even tried to push for Hocutt to be fired because he wouldn't hire Dana Holgersen at Cody's recommendation and Hocutt basically cut him off from the department for a time. Lots of other stuff behind the scenes. He wanted to basically sacrifice the basketball program's rise and basically every other sport to go all in on football. Fast forward to today and he's a regent and the face of all our NIL efforts across the board. Really a stark contrast between what he says in public now about "saving college sports" and how he was behaving just a few years ago. I'm not sure who got in his ear to tell him to clean up his act but sheesh brother...

UT doesn't have to schedule Tech and I can't imagine why CDC would agree to a 20-year agreement. Based on history, UT has no reason to be scared of Tech, Mr. Campbell. You should know better. What years did he play OL for Tech, anyway? Not that it matters.

Tell me what one has to do to become a recruiting expert because I know the guys who do it for TCU don't really know shit about football when it comes to knowing who projects where in schemes. I am sure you can find a number of people on here can talk about Ketch's abilities to spot talent. Hell, the NFL spends how much to evaluate players for each year's draft and continually miss. How hard can it be to evaluate each year's prospects and each year's group of transfers and project them into a specific scheme and there ability to master that scheme in a matter of months to weeks?
