My Week 12 Game of the Week was #16 Iowa State @ #15 Texas. The Cyclones struggled to get anything going offensively especially with David Montgomery out in the first half. The Longhorns regained some of their earlier season defensive prowess sacking Iowa State quarterbacks 6 times and getting 5 hurries as well. Week 13 […]
Weekly Awards: Nope.
I wanted to apologize to you all for missing the awards post last week. My wife’s grandmother passed away and we had the funeral and family things to attend to. I did watch the game and rather than share a snarky post I just passed for the week. Welp, this one was worse, and I’m […]
Truckin’: Week 12 in the Big 12
My Week 11 Game of the Week was: #19 Texas @ Texas Tech The Red Raiders made this a game worth watching late, finally recovering an onside kick and tying the game late. Jett Duffey also put on an offensive clinic, but three turnovers in the red zone hurt too much and the comeback bid […]
Eastbound & Down: Week 11 in the Big 12
My Week 10 Game of the Week was #7 Oklahoma @ Texas Tech. I know there was a Top 25 matchup between West Virginia and Texas, but I thought we’d see more fireworks from the blackout in The Jones and I thought the Mountaineers would boat race the Longhorns. Turns out both games were exciting, […]
Week 10 Awards: A Tale of Two Halves – Again
To start off we all need to be honest with ourselves, did anyone walk into this game thinking it’d be a 5-point Tech loss? This was an either/or game. Walking from tailgate I told a buddy “either this is over by halftime, or we make this a game.” I don’t think anyone would have guessed […]
Born to be Wild: Week 10 in the Big 12
My Week 9 Game of the Week was Texas Tech @ Iowa State The Red Raiders went into the unfriendly confines of Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, IA and fell to the Iowa State Cyclones 40-31. Texas Tech freshman quarterback Alan Bowman had an uncharacteristically difficult game going 32/56 for 323 yards, 1 touchdown, and […]
Week 9 Awards: TRYING SO HARD TO BELIEVE
Kliff Kingsbury is now 3-3 against Iowa State as a head coach. Wait, what? Yeah I know, .500 isn’t ideal over six years, but it could be worse. Guess what, Texas Tech is also 5-3 and just scored a primetime night game on ABC at home at The Jones too. But Keith, I thought the […]
I’ve Been Everywhere: Week 9 in the Big 12
My Week 8 Game of the Week was #9 Oklahoma @ TCU. There weren’t a lot of games to choose from last week and at least 52-27 and benching Shawn Robinson was more exciting than Tech whipping up on Kansas 48-16. Week 9 Game of the Week: Texas Tech @ Iowa State The Red Raiders are headed […]
Week 8 Awards: Good Job
Kudos to Texas Tech for doing what they should do – winning big against Kansas at home. It wasn’t a total domination, the defense and offense have both had better games and have yet to play their best games together in a single performance, but it was solid. Both offense and defense started well, although […]
Life is a Highway: Week 8 in the Big 12
My Week 7 Game of the Week was #6 West Virginia @ Iowa State. True freshman Brock Purdy has provided the Cyclones an offensive spark to pair up with their top 20 defense, something the rest of the Big 12 should take note of. The Cyclones lost senior quarterback Kyle Kempt very early in the […]
