  1. Hey Bulls, it's been a lot of fun engaging in a bit of banter with you guys. It's time to get into the details of what our respective teams are really up against. I want to offer up some analysis my favorite blog Staking the Plains puts together prior to each game. Not a deep dive by any means, but gives some perspective. Stats alone, Bulls best Red Raiders.... Birmingham Bowl Prep: South Florida Passing Offense vs. Texas Tech Passing Defense Birmingham Bowl Prep: South Florida Rushing Offense vs. Texas Tech Rushing Defense Birmingham Bowl Prep: Texas Tech Passing Offense vs. South Florida Passing Defense Birmingham Bowl Prep: Texas Tech Rush Offense vs. South Florida Rush Defense Let’s Talk About Stats: South Florida vs. Texas Tech Underdogs gonna get ya! GOOOOO TECH!!!
  2. No Intel. It's a head scratcher. If you just look at our records, 6-6 Tech is a match for 6-6 Utah, and 7-5 WVU and 9-2 USF are closer together. Their reasoning I do not understand.
  3. That's my bad, I was goofing around, but my delivery must have been off. Good jokes shouldn't have to be explained, but let's do it anyway. I said: I was just having fun, and now you make it personal. Is there no moderator in this place? (I was replying to a moderator, thats the joke. It's irony or satire, I don't know the difference but do know there is humor in there, somewhere) IT'S GO TIME: (that's a reference from a funny moment from the show Seinfeld, picture Lloyd Bridges jumping out of his chair to challenge you to a weight lifting competition, aka, "feats of strength", kinda funny, eh?) -I've never even heard of Alabama BBQ. (This dismissive line is just some banter, some teasing, I'm playing along with the moderators trash talking, it's fun, it's funny) -If Alabama BBQ was a division 1 defense, they'd be ranked below Texas Techs defense. (Now this is just straight up ridiculous, me comparing football to slowly smoked meats. I also dissed my own team's defense in the process; it's self deprecating humor. I'm making a self sacrificing joke so people laugh. It's non threatening, great way to break tension, if anything my sacrifice should be applauded) -I bet Alabama BBQ requires sauce. TEXAS MEATS CAN STAND ON THEIR OWN (this was a diss followed by a fact, no joke here, good Texas brisket does not require sauce, the seasoning and meat should be more than sufficient) Yeah (you can ignore this, it's a snarky comment to what someone said to me earlier. It's better left alone) So there you have it. I - stink - at - jokes Going forward I'll write, "***Jokes Approaching***" before I dive into a joke. For example: ***Jokes Approaching*** A horse walks into a bar, the bartender says to the horse, "Why the long face?"
  4. You've been a moderator this whole time, and yet you've said nothing to prevent this thread from going to a foul foul place. Texas BBQ is sacred. You can say our D stinks, that our special teams was pitiful, and that Patrick Mahomes will never lead an NFL team out of a tunnel, but don't drag the good name of Texas BBQ through the mud. Especially don't compare it to Alabama "BBQ", whatever that is.

  6. Hey Mama, I have not seen any reports on ticket sales. I expect we sell about the same as you guys; not much. Happy to go bowling, happy to be playing a good team in USF, but it's about 983 miles from Lubbock, and 638 miles from our alumni hub of Dallas. Since Birmingham isn't a destination city, I just don't see anyone making the trip, unless they live in a nearby state.
  7. Yeah, you don't get the opportunity for those when you fail your auditions.
  8. Actually, this is funny, we are ranked 66, right in the middle of division 1 football, which you and I know isn't great. Yet, we would be your best win... By 22 freaking spots! Your best win was against the #88 team Temple. Every single one of your 9 wins was against teams in the bottom 1/3 (excluding Temple who was 2 spots away from the bottom 1/3). So although it won't be impressive, it will be a significant improvement of your resume. Data from AthlonSports
  9. 1) Texas Tech 2) 41-37 3) Flowers 4) MVS 5) 455 Tech will be able to keep the inside closed off from running backs and inside receiving, goal line stops will lead to a few field goals. Flowers should run all over us, MVS will make our corners look stupid, but as mentioned, will get tied up at the goal line. Tech will finally have a complete game.
  10. Maybe I give your fans too much credit: Btw, you're an angry lil man aren't you?
  11. Easy buddy, I'm not trying to ruffle your feathers. You're reading too much into my text. From this Topic thread, I counted Michigan State, Wisconsin, Texas Tech, and UMass who have cancelled on you. When I said limited observations, I meant I just know from what I've read at thebullspen.com, and those 4 have been mentioned as teams that have cancelled on you. I really only care enough to get into the details about why TTU cancelled, but I can't find anything. And don't say we were scared to play you, bc we have had and will have worthy OOC opponents annually.
  12. Hey 07, 08, and 09 were all great years for our team in a very competitive conference at the time. Beyond the Mike Leach years it's been tough, I'm not going to justify our performance, that's not my intention. I know we aren't world beaters, I never said we were. Yet we've actually beat some worthy opponents, and more than half our schedule is pretty good teams. I, like you, want to provide a more realistic view of your team; you beat no one with a pulse and that 9-2 record is very misleading. I too have won championships in beginner mode.
  13. How do you guys have so many teams canceling on you. This brings the total to four from my limited observations. Yeah, that's gotta be frustrating.
  14. "Do your research first"? That's what the above is; i researched who you played and you played one of the weakest schedules out there. Your out of conference SOS was the worst in the league. Playing us would have only bumped you maybe 20-30 spots, still at the bottom. You only schedule one decent team for your OOC, us, and we cancelled on you. But what about the other two teams you had scheduled? They were chumps. I've tried to find out why we cancelled our out of conference with USF, but Ive found nothing mentioning it (I do vaguely remember us canceling though). Nonetheless we still put together a top tier OOC schedule, ranking 41 of 130. "Scared"? C'mon we signed up to play ASU and UH for our OOC, two great teams at the time our schools agreed on the matchups. Next year we have UH again and Ole Miss. Next year you have Georgia Tech and Illinois, not so impressive eh? Maybe you guys are the ones too scared to face some competition, hurt that chance of a 10 win season.
