Biggest game since Oregon 2023.
Both times this team has had a chance to really grab national attention this year as a true contender, it's lost. Once in humiliating fashion. Between all the bwalking going on and the playoff discussions everywhere, this looks like a prime spot for an epic meltdown
this is actually a fair take. I am hoping this is a much tougher and improved team than the one that lost to kjuco state and the fuskers. week over week, we have seen improvement and we are watching them win games on the road by double digits.
Texas Tech is the definition of a trap game. but, I want to believe!
This team also plays better on the road. However, it will be the first time they are truly playing with elevated expectations and not with the slighted, chip-on-their-shoulders, underdog mentality.

Think Positive and life will be Positive.
Have we won off a Bye with coach prime?
Luckily, the team is getting sh!t on plenty by the folks who desperately want Prime to fail.
Shedeur took the OL to Vegas. Bucky flew to vegas to record the trip, but for some reason got no video. They will be recovering all week.

Good thing about Big 12 is there are no trap games since no great teams on schedule to be looking ahead. I suppose BYU in conf champ could be a trap game.
I think Kansas could be a "trap" game. They're a team with good players and athletes at key positions that have lost some close games to reach a poor record. Toughest game left on the schedule, IMO, and if they are sitting at 8-2 going into that game, with everything in front of them, I could maybe see that being a "trap" game. Also, playing at Arrowhead in late November can be a very cold and miserable experience.
Not only in the b12, they are almost last in FBS is sacks.
And we all know how good #2 is when he has time.

I don't know what to expect in the Vitamin B12 but Tech HAS lost 2 of it's last 3. A win over undefeated ISU in Ames is a good one, but the weather last Sat was an equalizer or at minimum a crazy free variable. and ISU is a play to the level of the opponent team and won a couple crazy ones, Iowa, UCF.
Weird things happen in Lubbock, so the expression goes. At least it's not a night game. I have an uncle who coached HS football in OK and TX for many years (and is in the OK HS Coaching Hall of Fame)......he was pretty tight with coaches from Ark, OSU, OU, ATM inna day.....sending recruits there. and he used to tell stories he heard about officiating in the SWC in general and especially Lubbock.....games are not on TV, no replay......just outrageous homer calls at crucial junctures of the game. Great stories.
That said: Tech seems amazingly adept at winning 5-7 games no matter who the coach is. McGuire seems like the latest iteration.
I like us to be too dangerous on O to lose.

I actually think playing at Mullethead, sorry, Camarohead (@Hank) is an advantage for us. It is going to be a sterile environment with not much home field advantage for KU. We can go there on a business trip, it's ****ing Kansas City so there's not going to be much in the way of distractions, and KU misses out on any advantage they would have gotten from being in Lawrence.
As an aside, no 'home' games should be played in NFL stadiums unless it's actually the college team's home, too. Neutral site games where neither team is giving up an advantage, sure, but as we all know from moving the CSU games from campuses to Mile High, the home team loses advantages that they normally have at home. It's a dumb move.
Yeah, I don't think we need to worry about a hostile environment playing a 2-3 win KU team at Arrowhead. I was more referring to the weather where it could easily be single digit temps, snow, wind, freezing rain, etc.
Something must have happened with Hayes
Sent the tortilla video to my tech coworker. Maybe we’re not so different after all…

We used to throw oranges.
Way more dangerous than tortillas. Esp since it was November and the mofo citrus was half frozen. Lucky the players were wearing helmets.....
Even the Red Polyester Greatest Fans in All of Sport did it. OU did it.

TT is a tough team, but I think our D is more than up to the task. They;ll take their shots and hit a few of them, but I think their running game isnt' as tough as some we'vec seen this year.
If we can start out running successfully like we did against UCF we'll be fine.
I"m going to hte Kansas game, so we'd better do well there.
BYU is legit this year, not a trap game at all. They're good. End of story.

Wtf. I guess we’re missing Buell, possibly Cokes, and Carter
DT depth chart is now paper thin. Need Cokes back. Buell is also dinged up iirc. Pretty unfortunate timing going up against the best offense in the B12 that runs the ball 60% of the time.
Unfortunate, but predictable
Kinda like Snow
