    I think Tech wins, but not by much. That much hate tends to lead to close games.

    I think a team from Texas will end up winning but I could be mistaken....

    As someone who graduated from Texas A&M and has season tickets, TTU Poker is completely wrong on this!

    Tech wins 55-17. We are horrible in Lubbock. I bet against A&M once every 2 years, and it is always this game.

    my thoughts are that they will not be allowed to sell anymore of those cute "Vick 'Em shirts"

    I've only seen a little bit of Tech this year, and it was in the first week of the season when my degenerate ass needed a game to bet on Monday afternoon. They were a 9 point favorite against some Soup Can that I don't remember, but they put up points like it was nobody's business.

    Their QB has a good arm and also good pocket awareness. For all the passes he threw, it's amazing how little he gets sacked. I wish more teams would play a style like Tech because it's just fun to watch.

    What is the spread on this game anyways?

    Oh, by the way, El Burro, I'm still planning on making a trip to Snook, TX to get some deep fried bacon with gravy. Work has kept me busy lately. Update coming soon.

    Texas Tech is a very interesting team imo, because of the paradox that despite the fact that they are pretty much a joke of a football program, they have become so experienced at their insanely-ridiculously-ultra-super-duper-high pass-to-rush ratio system that they present a pretty serious threat to just about any team they play. They are kinda like how Arizona was at basketball for the past few years: Dangerous. "Dangerous," unlike "good" does not describe how good the team is at maintaining a sexy win/loss record, but rather, how the team rates compared to other teams as far as it's %chance of winning games against top ranked teams in the top 5. For example, let's say one team is 6-0 but poses likely only around a 10% chance of beating the #1 team in the nation, but some other team is 3-3 but poses a 25% chance of beating the #1 team in the nation. In this case, although the 3-3 team would not be considered "better" than the 6-0 team, it WOULD be considered a more "dangerous" team, if this makes any sense. So imo Texas Tech is a "dangerous" team, lolz.

    it took this win for Tech to finally get a top 25 ranking this season......
    OU, Colorado, Missouri, and Texas do not leave us with an easy finish though

    There are two teams that I absolutely fucking love to watch that aren't ever on TV in my areas (Las Vegas/eastern North Carolina/Philly).

    Texas Tech
