Joey McGuire...

[Texas fan in Georgia]

So he doesn’t know who his QB will be and he wants to throw some random guy on the field across from Colin Simmons week 1? Spot the ball.

Joey McGuire tossing out this ‘We’ll play Texas on Sept. 5’ fantasy is peak Joey - a grown man doing his best impression of a tough guy while sounding like the loudest dork in the room.

He knows the offer is impossible. He knows Texas isn’t rearranging a real opener to accommodate a program that’s been irrelevant since MySpace. But Joey can’t help himself - he lives for these fake‑tough PR stunts because it’s the only time Tech gets mentioned next to Texas anymore.

This wasn’t swagger. It was insecurity wrapped in a slogan. He beat Texas once, puffed his chest like he’d solved football, and then spent the next two seasons getting shoved around by anyone with a helmet.

Meanwhile Texas is lining up Ohio State, Michigan, and playoff runs. Tech is lining up ACU - Abilene Christian - the kind of FCS cupcake you schedule when you need a guaranteed win and a coach who needs a confidence boost.

McGuire talks like a heavyweight, coaches like a mid, schedules like a coward, and carries himself like the program’s official hype‑dork. If he wants Texas that badly, he can buy a ticket and watch how adults open a season.

I know Gerry and others have a lot of respect for him from his time as a high school coach but go to a clown school, become a clown. Simple stuff

I’ve yet to hear one person on the Texas Tech side say Sark was wrong about Tech’s garbage schedule.

Also, as I said after Sark’s comments in Houston, it’s not Texas’ responsibility to improve Tech’s non-conference schedule. Play a big-boy opponent out of conference and you can have a seat at the table with the other adults.

Go pound sand, you loud mouth jerk. Although we probably should do this and mudhole them like last time. 57-7 or something like that.

Tech is still scorned Daddy left

The more I think about it, the more I think we should call their bluff. 
A) They pay Texas State not Texas.

B) The game is at DKR. We’re not giving up a home game for chlamydia aggy. 
 

If we destroy them, this would seriously expose them and could adversely affect their playoff chances. 

Joey knows Texas won’t give up a home game for his clown show. Probably one of the main reasons he’s running his nickel head like this.

Hey Joey,

I hear Georgia is looking for a game that day in Athens, and willing to buyout Tennessee State to make room for Tech.  Interested?  Yeah, I didn’t think so.  Good luck with ACU!

I wonder how burned the bridge is with the Big 12? I feel like unless Yormark is gone, I doubt Texas will schedule any of those teams. They even cancelled the series with ASU after they joined the Big 12. Makes me feel like there is definitely some bad blood there.

I haven't looked at basketball and baseball but I don't think we have scheduled a ton of Big 12 teams there after leaving either.

Biggest casualty in the whole Sorsby saga is Will Hammond. Dude played decent for them, certainly good enough to make the playoffs this year. Idk about the injury status but just feel for the guy lol 

[Jeff Howe]

The number of Tech folks who truly believe this could happen or view it as anything other than posturing is staggering.

They are the same people who want Sorsby to play because they think he did nothing wrong.

If I'm the Texas State coach I publicly tell McGuire to stop trying to screw with my schedule and to kindly F*CK OFF

Tech and McGuires biggest claim to fame is being arch’s debut opponent in 2023.

[Jeff Howe]

Joey knows this won’t happen, Cody Campbell knows this won’t happen and anybody with two brain cells knows this just big talk with no consequences for what’s said.

That won’t stop a portion of the Tech fan base from thinking they got one over on Texas and that the Longhorns “are too scared to play them.”

Texas has never and will never view Tech as a rival.

The first truly noteworthy season since Tech fired the best coach in its history doesn’t make you elite. It doesn’t mean you get to dictate terms to anyone outside the Mickey Mouse league you couldn’t wait for Texas and OU to vacate.

It makes you obnoxious.

Best case scenario for Tech’s season is they’ll roll through the Big 12, get a bye into the CFP quarterfinals and then soundly lose to a team with as much or more talent. Wash, rinse and repeat.
