Ultimately it doesn’t matter where we are ranked at this point. A first round by would be nice, but if we didn’t have it, we would need to win anyway so what’s the point? Be in the sec, win every game, and you will finish ranked first. Life is great. We don’t need a second or first (or even a third) place ranking right now to feel good about ourselves. That’s the stupid “print the cups” culture everyone makes fun of us for. Just win

I remember that well…I was there in the visitor section when it happened. Set the tone for my feelings about Texas tech for decades to come. It was pretty exciting though I will admit. I only relaxed on that when Kingsbury was our OC here

I’m about to piss off a bunch of TAMU fans but Elko feels like a Chizik like coach to me. Seems like he caught lightning in a bottle and frankly I don’t think he’s capable of holding onto it. 2-3 losses by the end of the post season.

I’ve got a terminal case of BAS so I’m still working out how we can go 8-4 this season, but I have to disagree with your statement. Elko doesn’t have a generational player. We all love Reed and his leadership, but he’s no Cam, Burrow, manziel, ect. He’s not a generational talent a mediocre coach is hiding behind. The team has done well thus far because Elko isn’t relying on one player to take the team on his shoulders all season. They just play complementary and are deep with good enough players who are well conditioned to stay fresh all game. Hes winning with good coaching and preparation. There are no real standouts who are game breakers on this squad

That is a staggering one two punch of very expensive misfires on hiring. I’d be shocked if he isn’t sent packing too

He’s the type individual that gets his information about current and former events from infographics and memes on social media. The whole “trust me, bro, I read it” thing, and then tells others to just “do your research” like he did.

You sound EXACTLY like Texas last year defending playing the teams in front of you, pot calling the kettle black I could find receipts out the arse of the same exact bullshite last year. Welcome to actually being a winning team where other teams bitch and whine about your success and you just focus on winning

That’s actually a pretty solid response. And the thread could have ended on that note

This is the first time in memory everyone is generally in full support and celebration of another conference foe’s success. Hope they keep their coach a few years to gain some momentum

TLDR; We may well lose this weekend, but if we don’t, those of you who pumped up Arkansas before the game shouldn’t backpedal afterward.

Certainly possible. Dare I say likely? I do have a follow up prediction. This far the narrative before each game has been very different from post game. Which is to be expected.

Supposed to lose vs ND. Too many weapons. Too much experience. Close game. Refs had a hand in it I’ll admit, but the talk quickly shifted to “ND is trash”

MSST took Tennessee to the wire. They’re scrappy. We won’t be able to contain them…post game “MSST is trash”

Florida beat Texas, they’re loaded with talent, DEFENSE TRAVELS. Home advantage won’t matter….post game: FL is the worst team in the conference.

Rinse and repeat. Hearing the same thing now. Petrino is back! Haven’t played for a crowd like they’ll see in Fayetteville. Arkansas is due. This is where the rollercoaster ends.

Now, we well may lose. The BAS is strong with me. I have zero hope of going undefeated in this away stretch. But if we do happen to win, it will be funny to see those who inflated the opponent before the game, but dismiss them afterward if the result they wanted does not come to pass.

I don’t often root for other teams, and didn’t even watch the game, but nice win. For the sake of the game I hope y’all hold on to coach drink for a good while. Love seeing a “blue blood” get KO’d by an underdog on the big stage. Almost blanked them too

Congratulations. You’ve done more with less. We’ve done less with more. I imagine you feel as proud as we feel disgusted. Such is life
