Whew boy! Nothing feels better than to wash the stink of that West Virginia game off us by going into a 1/2 empty Amon G. Carter and beating the TCU Horned Frogs in a game defined by defense. It’s funny to hear broadcasters lose their minds over Texas Tech having a defense that can stand […]
Livin’ on a Prayer: Week 7 in the Big 12
My Week 6 Game of the Week was Texas vs. Oklahoma in the Red River RivalShootDown and it absolutely did not disappoint. In what was the highest scoring game in the history of that rivalry and the all the way back Texas Longhorns took down the highly-touted Oklahoma Sooners 48-45. In a game with multiple lead […]
Against the Wind: Week 6 in the Big 12
My Week 5 Game of the Week was West Virginia @ Texas Tech. I don’t want to talk any more about it, read more here in the Week 5 Awards. Week 6 Game of the Week: #19 Texas vs. #7 Oklahoma I chose this as the game of the week because of history and tradition. […]
First Base Files: Summer & Fall Update
Baseball is back folks! Ok not really back back, but it’s more back than Texas is back. #CountIt I’ve always got the baseball itch and while football is doing PLENTY to keep me entertained I wanted to drop a post for you about what’s been going on this summer and things coming up you don’t want […]
Week 5 Awards: It Was the Worst of Times
You don’t need to read a post to know that this game sucked. I mean it wasn’t just kind of bad, it was brutal. But, it was also a tale of multiple halves. Unfortunately, the whole team played like trash in the first half. Then, only half of the team played like trash in the […]
Don’t Stop Believin’: Week 5 in the Big 12
My Week 4 Game of the Week was Texas Tech at Oklahoma State and as a 100% biased Red Raider fan it delivered in a big way. The Red Raiders totally dominated the Cowboys at T. Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater 41-17. Oklahoma State didn’t score another point after 10:40 in the second quarter, in […]
Week 4 Awards: Back it Up
This post is going to be a little longer than usual. This is probably Kliff’s biggest win as a head coach so there’s a lot to say, and I really dislike OSU. The Lubbock Staking the Plains folks got together for some delicious home-cooking’, family time, and enjoying the game as fellow Red Raiders. I certainly […]
Ramblin’ Man: Week 4 in the Big 12
My Week 3 Game of the Week was Boise State @ Oklahoma State, and boy was I wrong. The Broncos were not up to the challenge of hanging with the Cowboys through a full four quarters. After a scoreless first on both sides, the Cowboys went into halftime with a 17-7 lead and never looked […]
We Stand With the Cyclones
One of the beautiful things about college athletics is how close we all feel to the athletes and programs we support. We have the opportunity to watch players form relationships with each other, coaches, and staff. Often as fans, we too have the opportunity to build relationships with players and their families sitting in the […]
Week 3 Awards: Don’t Fear
As I sat in Jones AT&T Stadium Saturday I realized that I was watching a return to form. Maybe it’s not the perfect form (we don’t want ‘Bama) but it’s the form that I’d surmise many Red Raider fans have come to hope for and enjoy. The Texas Tech offense was pretty much prolific Saturday. […]
