Kissing My sister......

[jtk1519]

ou sucks

[slorch]

you make me laugh JTK.

Not that I disagree...

[slorch]

Mizzou first possession
converted 3 third downs.
Chasee Daniel playing very well.
Mizzou 3-0.( tech finally tackled Daniel on a third down!!!!!!)

[slorch]

how many pills did TO take. Go ahead Graham, I think you can beat him.

Graham Harrell is killing this team! he sucks!

[Sacred Ground]

Your not at the game slorch?

Looks like a few Southlakers at the game wearing Mizzou shirts.

[Sacred Ground]

Graham Harrell is killing this team! he sucks!

I think it's the Mizzou defense putting pressure on Harrell.

Well there's another pick for a TD. What's up with Harrell.

[slorch]

just for clarification- I posted the previous post BEFORE tha 2nd pick for a TD.

[slorch]

cost us the game against the horny toads. Now this.

D is playing well, all for nothing.

leach... pull the trigger

[CLFalcon2006]

This is just a slaughter now, how good is Mizzou?


and how bad is A&M?

[Sacred Ground]

This is just a slaughter now, how good is Mizzou?


and how bad is A&M?


I read that their defense is ranked in the top 10 nationally.

[jtk1519]

and how bad is A&M?

No words.

[slorch]

at least you stopped my tears for a few moments with that one...

OMG, Leach pulled em.


A sweep on 4th down, I didn't know Coach Osbourne came out of retirement.

With this offense, nothing is safe(TCU 2 years ago) but damn...

[slorch]

D still playing their butts off. Should be 10-0 at worst.

[slorch]

OK walk the plank Leach

WTF is Harrell doing back in there.

3-5 yard dink passes rest of the game( no confidence now) just watch...

[slorch]

Tech scores.

Harell waving arms to crowd- He better chill the hell out and calm down.

Tech's D has to bail us out...

[Sacred Ground]

Tech finally found Mizzou's weakness...deep pass coverage.

[slorch]

I don't blame Mizzou, going for jugular. Nice pick for Tech at their own 40.

Tech D stay steady baby...

[Sacred Ground]

I don't agree with the play call that resulted in an int.
10 yards at a time is all you need to keep it going.
Mizzou has gone to sleep from the big lead.

[BeauxGeezy]

you mean there is another game on today???
really?

[slorch]

back to square 1.

D don't get cocky, Daniel can burn yo' butt bigtime!

24-14

[slorch]

sideline reporter must be aggy

askd Gary Pinkel( Mizzou coach) if this is the most adversity they've faced this year. (They have a 10 point lead on the road in a conference game.) WTF??????

[Sacred Ground]

you mean there is another game on today???
really?

Hey BoGZ, who won the OU-UT game? I was out running errands and missed it.

t.u. lost..Mack Brown can't win the big game ...without Vince...he is terrible...t.u. sucks

I heard Oklahoma pleaded no contest inorder to avoid further punishment.

[slorch]

Your not at the game slorch?

Looks like a few Southlakers at the game wearing Mizzou shirts.
i live in Oak Ridge( by Houston), but I am going to the Colorado-Tech game next week- i have family in Denver.

[Sacred Ground]

That's a long road trip, safe travels to you and yours.

If I know Mizzou, this game may come down to the wire. Some teams let up after big leads, unless Harrell gives it away in the 2nd half.

[Sacred Ground]

Tech finally found Mizzou's weakness...deep pass coverage.

See, Mizzou can't cover long passes, even if they are loub passes. Another TD for Tech.

[slorch]

new Tech strategy- spot other team 20-25 point lead, lull to sleep, turn loose the Air Raid. No fans see it because they already jumped off of the cliff...:)

mizzou leads 24-21.

[Favpack]

ok - tell Leach to quit going for it on 4th down now - he's in the game.

[slorch]

Tech D has to stay strong. STUPID penalty! cut out a big sack.

Mizzou 31-21

[rancher52]

On that last play would it go down as two fumbles on one play... one recovered by Tech and one by Missouri?

[slorch]

complete *******! wasting the effort of the rest of the team.

Graham Harrell sucks!

[Sacred Ground]

Looks like Mizzou woke up!

Has Harrell seen much pressure this season?

[Sacred Ground]

Interesting stat!

Take away points off turnovers and the score is Tech 14-Mizzou 10.

However, turnovers are part of the game.

[Sacred Ground]

Another fumble by Harrell and this one is a done deal.

[ThEgReAtOnE]

Lets see....

OU loses 21-10 to TU...

and...

T-Tech gets bi***slapped 38-21...




...who sucks, again?;)

[slorch]

still Ou

But I'd be willing to send you a QB

[slorch]

Fla wins with back up QB, but Tech sticks by the turnover machine.

I've never seen one guy destroy a whole season like this. I blame Leach too. The team stepped up when Todd came in and the crowd got back into it. He has a quality QB in #13. #6 is single handedly giving the game away and Leach keeps him in there. Un F-ing believable!
harrell makes 1 TD pass and he's doing all this crazy BS to the fans- what an idiot!
Leach has always had his QB decisions pay off, this is new territory for his tenure at Tech. He'd better earn his check with some coaching now!

[Diablos]

Lets see....

OU loses 21-10 to TU...

Well I got two right today.....

5 turnovers was horrible. I should've checked the crystal ball before I drove to Lubbock for THAT!:mad:

[lonny23]

Your not at the game slorch?

Looks like a few Southlakers at the game wearing Mizzou shirts.
I couldn't even find 1000 Mizzou people at the game. The Tiger band wasn't there and they didn't even fill up their small sections in the end zone.

[lonny23]

cost us the game against the horny toads. Now this.

D is playing well, all for nothing.

leach... pull the trigger
He put Graham back in and it worked for a while, but he went back to the first half Harrell after they got close. They had a chance to win if they just didn't turn it over.

[lonny23]

sideline reporter must be aggy

askd Gary Pinkel( Mizzou coach) if this is the most adversity they've faced this year. (They have a 10 point lead on the road in a conference game.) WTF??????
It's a fair question since Mizzou has never trailed this year. Graham Harrell made sure that streak lasted another game.

BTW, Mizzou had the #2 defense going into the game. Funny thing is Tech had a better turnover margin coming into the game than Mizzou had. Boy, that changed.:(

[lonny23]

Tech D has to stay strong. STUPID penalty! cut out a big sack.

Mizzou 31-21
Yeah, what happened on that play? They got a sack and got called for roughing the passer. Did another guy come in and hit Daniel late?

[lonny23]

every now and then a tiger eats a pirate
I'm pretty sure he'd throw it back up as bad as this one tastes!

[slorch]

No the safety hit the WR on a crossing route as Daniel was being sacked. real smart play:confused: .

[Firebird]

This team is bad with the inconsistency and mental lapses. Tech SHOULD be undefeated right now, instead Tech can boast 2 losses and a schedule looking tougher and tougher.

There isn't a team on the schedule that CAN'T beat Tech if the Tech team that showed up last night keeps showing up. Even Colorado (who Tech gets at home, where they have never won) will beat them if the Buff team that challenged Georgia shows up.

Leach's strange persona wins him some fans, but it seems like his players are getting undisciplined and unfocused. He has commented that they can't handle success, and I think he's right. The question is, what will Leach do about it?

This is a sort of make or break season. Leach needs to right the pirate ship, and fast. Right now the Raiders are headed for a very standard (for the Raiders) 7-8 win season. If they aren't careful, I can easily see them dropping 6 games. That is not the way to follow up last years 9-3, 2nd place Big 12 South season. I see UT and OU beating them, with a probable loss to either ISU or Colorado. ( I can't see Baylor or OSU getting it done in Lubbock). A season like that puts a real dent in Tech's hopes to challenge as an elite Big 12 team.

I hope I am getting overly pessimistic, but I think it is warranted after watching them perform under par for 3 (TCU, Mizzou, UTEP) games out of 6. It is time for the Captain to prove he deserves that big contract.

I don't think you're being pessimistic, but realistic
my frustration lay in the fact that we may never have a group of receivers like this one again.
the D has been adequate, but to your point, discipline9 or lack thereof) cost a huge swing in field position last night with the idiotic hit on a crossing WR during a QB sack.
Leach, it's on you now...what's it gonna be. loyalty to a soph QB or the team?

[dragonsdaddy]

lonnie, i don't remember where, but you flatly predicted a tt win over mizzou cause tt was a better team. i challenged you then to find anything but a subjective desire for it to be so. i'm asking you again, what could you possibly have seen in any game tt played this year to make you believe such a claim? i haven't and don't expect to see it, but i'm not a techophile and so maybe i missed something important, likje that big win over..... no i guess tamu and utep nail-biters wouldn't count as wouldn't 1aa wins or ones over directional lossyanna colleges. or would it be quality lossess to.... no tcu proved they were the real pretender after kibashing the rr offewnse. i just don't see it. clue me in please.

You are right. Tech just hasn't lived up to the expectations they set for themselves in the beginning of the year.

The talent is there. Filani, Hicks, Johnson, and Amendola are as good a group of recievers as you will find outside of Columbus, Ohio. The OL was supposed to be a strong point, but I have been..underwhelmed. On the plus side, Shannon Woods has been a pleasant surprise, and Baron Batch has LOADS of potential. We knew coming into this season that Tech had a young secondary that was ripe to get picked on, and Mizzou exploited that advantage well.

I am not as down on Harrelll as a bunch of folks are right now. I predict that in 2 years he will go down as a more talented Kliff Kingsbury, if Tech can fix some O-line problems (the O-line was hit hard by injury in the off and preseason). Harrell could use some work on arm strength, other than that, it is a lack of experience that is killing him..young QB stuff. He telegraphs his passes right now, and tends to fixate on one option. He should have fallen on that one ball rather than try to pick it up.

What worries me is that we now have two legit options at QB, and there will possibly be 3 or 4 next year if Potts and Arizona State transfer Derek Shaw develop as expected. It is no coincidence that Leach nearly always goes with experience-- this is an offense that requires a lot of practice, and most importantly a "feel" that comes only with time. With folks screaming for Harrell's head (and then the head of whoever might replace him as soon as he has a 5 turnover game), Leach has his work cut out for him in trying to develop a confident qb. But in the long run, having a multi-year game tested qb will pay divedends for the Raiders.

Right now, the Leach needs to concentrate on basics and discipline, and finishing ball games--not play musical chairs with his qb.

I 'd take a fightin Sonny Cumbie or Cody Hodges, any stinking day to this walking brain cramp, who also acts like a ******* on the field. Clapping in the huddle, laughing and waving to the crowd when he gets his first score( oh yeah, we're still down by 17)
Put up, grow up, and look like the kid Tech recruited.

A lot of that goes back to his HS days. He was a big primadona while playing at Ennis.

[drgnbkr]

I don't think Harrell has the spring in his step that Kingsbury had..nor does he seem like the leader that some of the others were..but he is just a soph..maybe it will come

I would too... that is why Hodges started over Harrell last year. But in two years, I'm gonna be glad Harrell got his PT.

A lot of people seem to have the impression that Leach let a better qb (in Harrell) languish on the bench while the inferior Hodges started. That isn't the case at all--Hodges was better than Harrell last year, so Leach started him. I didn't expect an upgrade this year at qb, what I did expect was a decently talented youngster to make things happen with a strong, experienced offensive core around him. I hoped they could offset his youngster errors. That is who I am disappointed in.

I think they tune him out because of his oddities. He's as much a freak show as a coach. If he's not giving 100% to football, they probably don't want to either.

I've picked Tech to win every game this year. I think they have the talent and should be undefeated. I just think they don't have their minds on the task at hand and that might not change. I don't think they're losing because the other teams should beat them. A&M has talent, but worse coaching.

[slorch]

I don't think Harrell has the spring in his step that Kingsbury had..nor does he seem like the leader that some of the others were..but he is just a soph..maybe it will come
Kingsbury commanded respect because he had a little Timex in him and was a tough SOB. He was also a coach's son and knew how to lead.
He was rough in his Soph year, but not stupid like Harrell.
