I instead purchase 4 tix and 2 nights of hotel for students. They said they had a great trip. I wanted to get the opinion of others on how the interactions were with Tex Tech folks at bars and restaurants. I get the idea from their message board that they had no idea about us, nor did they respect USF. Was that different in person there? Did they mention anything about B12 expansion and including the Florida schools? Or did they just stay to themselves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a funny exchange with a TT fan at halftime that I posted on another thread, but overall, I hung out with Bulls fans more than anything.

I just laughed it off and said that the refs were terrible all around. They believe the non call for intentional grounding cost them the game.

I told them they totally sucked. There was so much non-calls on holding on their O-line it was crazy. Also about 3 personal foul calls against USF. Then the no-call for spearing Alaka on their DB late in the game almost cost us. So I thought the refs sucked for USF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the receiver that was in the area blended into the turf for them? I remember that call ... as much as they don't want to admit it, we had a receiver in the area.

We may have gotten away with the IG on that play. Very borderline call, and DJ wasn't as much in the area as I originally thought. However, the helmet-to-helmet hit on Alaka on the preceding play was completely missed and absolutely should have been a targeting call - definitely led with the crown of his helmet hitting Alaka in the side of his. We'll call it even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
