This is the accurate story.... Also this is why I don't get all the people rooting for Tech. Don't get me wrong I'm not rooting against them but I could give a fuck if they win and if they do it's not like they will handle it gracefully. Remember this is Texas Tech where the boys will slap you in the face with a tortilla and the girls will give you syphilis faster than you can say Byron Hanspard.

April 8, 20196 yr This is flat-out embarrassing. The one moment our hard-working, respectful, and classy program steps onto the national pedestal, our student body does this. THIS is what people will think about Texas Tech. Not our hard work but our ignorance, irresponsibility and irrationality. These idiots have to realize that they represent Texas Tech University. Being known as a hostile and toxic fan base is not the reputation that Coach Chris Beard wants Tech to be known for. We should act like how Kansas Basketball or Oklahoma Football acts: this is something we are used to. Chris Beard is the mark of a new era. So why try to trash the reputation of that era? I know our students have historically been dangerous and ill mannered, but this makes me embarrassed to be a Tech fan. And seriously. It was the game to make the natty. Our students better pray for the best Monday because now all of America knows that Texas Tech students lack class. This needs to be addressed NOW. I am sick of tired of Tech being a laughingstock of college athletics. It’s time for a change or else, Texas Tech athletics may never be able to garner the national respect that our rising athletic programs deserve. Posted by WreckEmRiker on Apr 7, 2019 | 1:10 PM

April 8, 20196 yr Fuck it, Tech should embrace the wild child persona. They will never be considered an elite program or school so why not roll with it?I get where you're coming from, but Jesus... please no. I did undergrad there 1992-1996 and just can't relate to the way students (and plenty of non-student locals I'm sure) behaved last night. Yeah, when the women won the title in 1993 there were crowds and craziness, but there wasn't any property destruction like that. I realize it's a different level of significance to an extent, but god damn- there's not a bone in my body that would lead me to behave in the manner I saw in the various videos posted today. It's embarrassing & disappointing to say the least, and I just can't relate to acting that way.
April 8, 20196 yr the lime scooters burning is one thing...when you leave that rental detritus laying all about what do you expect (still does not make it right) turning the car over pisses me off though especially since the dickheads that did it either are too broke to have their own car, they would be the first to cry they did not have full coverage or got fucked on the value, or they have plenty of cash and will cry if they get caught and get a heavy charge and get booted from school (as they should) some poor sap probably did not have full coverage on that car and now they are fucked I still can't figure out how you get a lime scooter started on fire in the first place much less what kept burning like that on them even with a big pile of them there had to be other shit in there with them
April 8, 20196 yr Author Yeah, people shouldn’t act like assholes and destroy stuff, but the real WTF issue for me was TechFan doing this stuff when it’s not even the championship game. I guess I’ve had “don’t dogpile until Omaha” ingrained. Edited April 8, 20196 yr by Vito Andolini

April 8, 20196 yr You know the problem? These kids aren't drinking enough...if they had, they wouldn't be able to do any of this crap. Take me for example. After a game like Saturday night's, I was lucky to stumble down the stairs from the media room to my bedroom. And why? Because I waged war on my liver throughout that entire game. I couldn't have rioted in the streets if I wanted to.
