"Brand?" What exactly does the letter writer think Texas Tech's brand is anyway?

The pattern is this: Coach is told to fire his OC or DC....if that works the next year, he is safe. If it doesn't then he is gone. Remember when Mack had to fire Greg Davis? Then Charlie Strong had to fire both his DC and OC?

As long as the team isn’t overlooking miss state. message boards overlooking a team isn’t hurting anyone lol. Heck we can’t do anything here but hope they go out and play to the best of their abilities.

Tried telling everyone that ALL conferences have poor officials crews.

It all comes back to AJ Milwee being a complete hack

Yep.

Mississippi State does not have a side of the football as formidable as Oklahoma's defense, nor do they have the quantity of trench/skill talent as Florida. If Texas spots them 14 points, i guess anything can happen. MSST and Lebby will likely deploy a similar gameplan as the 2024 game where they held onto the football for about 21 of the 30 minutes in the 1st half. Shortening the game and minimizing possessions is their best bet

If Texas ends up 8-4 you think it’s a guarantee he stays?

LOL. There won't be one of those.

At this point it is not a coincidence

I'm the guy who posted those Kevin Mar stats on IT a few years ago. When I did that research, I reviewed every big xii game that the Kevin Mar crew officiated (including non-Texas games) and used such information to show that the Mar crew treated Texas differently than other teams. I don't think Alex's post means a lot unless he looks at non-Texas games for comparison. He mentions that they call more penalties against Texas than other crews, but it could be that said crew simply throws more flags than other crews. It isn't necessarily unfair to Texas unless they treat Texas differently than others (like the statistics showed the Mar Crew treated Texas).

I'm looking them over but not overlooking them. I don't think.

Graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

Or keelon Russell, kamario, Carr, Sayin, etc. i think recruiting is still path 1, with the portal to patch when guys don’t hit. While it’s nice to go out and have a proven commodity, it’s not like xfers are 100% hits either. It all comes down to costs. my preferred strategy is have one 5 star guy recruited, surrounded by cheaper 3 and four stars (lotto tickets). Then be ready to go to portal if they don’t pan out. if it’s actually true that homegrown starters can be cheaper than the highest priced portal, then this would make sense. If they cost the same either way, then just get the best player. Is Arch costing more against UTs budget than leavitt? I wouldn’t think so, but he’s also unique in that brands are more willing to pay for his name outside of donor money

How does he still have a job in the SEC after being suspended by the NCAA and also being under investigation for accepting a $68,000 bribe? His questionable decision making in the Oregon vs Penn State appear to have affected the integrity of that game. James Franklin accused him of basically stealing the game with phantom holding calls and one-sided officiating. He needs to go.

Hmmm born and raised in Louisiana with the last name Gautreaux? Would love to see his splits for LSU games. Would guess that’s the one team who has somehow less penalties on average with this crew.

I would be curious if this crew just generally throws more flags than other crews ? Maybe they just generally suck lol

Pretty insane. Every game with that crew sucks.

Can we get a weekly red alert 🚨 to not bet on Texas to cover the spread when these clowns are announced as the ref crew? The guy running the video board during the game vs Ole Miss was rightfully pointing out errors made in the encroachment vs false start calls. (Among many other questionable calls.) When does the SEC officially announce ref crew assignments for games? Can Texas formally ask to exclude certain crews if there is a multi-year issue of bad calls with one crew?

im overlookin em but im not a playing yo

While the program has a lot of losses, with several of them being beatdowns, the only loss to an opponent who won't be hosting the first two rounds is OU. As long as Texas doesn't repeat that, we'll be hosting the subregional for sure, which is the ticket to the Sweet Sixteen. This team is not good enough in serving to do anything more than that. I mean, there are deficiencies all over the place, but that's the biggest one. I guess they might play out of their mind or the opponent plays like hammered dog doo the way Wisconsin did, but they'll be out the next round for sure. Georgia is a decent serve and blocking team. Both of Gabe Muoneke's daughter's play for Georgia, for those that remember him. One's a senior and one of their better players. Transferred from A&M. The other is a freshman. No telling if there will be any punching of opposing players going on. We really need to beat the inferior foes, and Georgia, while still entertaining the possibility of making the tournament by the skin of their teeth, is absolutely an inferior foe.
