Texas Tech: The Faces of Desperation

[Bobby Burton]

It's sad that it has come to this. But it has.

Texas Tech is doing anything to be relevant. They're desperate, so desperate in fact that it's embarrassing to watch grown men grovel.

Cody Campbell and Joey McGuire are the faces of desperation.

So butthurt are the Red Raiders about getting left in the Big 12 that their administration at every level, from the board of regents, to the president's office, even to the football coach's office, they're all willing to do anything to get anyone to listen to them and regard them as more relevant than they are.

In a flash of showmanship and false bravado, their football coach today asked for Texas to move its game with Texas State from Austin on Sept. 5, and schedule Texas Tech in Dallas instead.

Yet just minutes later, that very same coach tried to convince reporters that his quarterback who gambled on his own team should not incur significant penalties. "Maybe he should get a few games but not a whole year [I am paraphrasing here]," McGuire told reporters.

A sane man's response to such words? Joey McGuire will say anything to anybody if it helps him win a football game. He's a man who knows no bounds.

McGuire is only following the lead of his president, who days earlier the president of Texas Tech penned a letter to all students and alumni asking for the same thing.

The whole thing is preposterous.

They know it. You know it. We all know it.

If you gamble on your team, you're toast.

As for Campbell, his thumbprints are all over the latest senate legislation. And that legislation attempts to box in Texas and the SEC. Why is Campbell so worried about what's going on in Austin? Does he feel threatened?

Again, it's the move of desperate people. And McGuire and Campbell are the faces of desperation.

Texas Tech is embarrassing itself over and over again.

I’m okay never playing tech again after how they acted in 2022. Good riddance and have fun cosplaying like a C-list WWE nobody in an irrelevant conference.

Bobby, I sure the Big 10 and SEC powers will fight this bill. Do you think it has a chance to pass congress?

[DiggsTX]

Begging for relevance. We didn’t say play us, we said play anybody with a pulse. We only schedule P4 teams who can score in a Playoff game for our non-conference, sorry.

 

I’m so tired of the unfounded Tech bravado.

[Jester101]

Tech is, was and will be a pathetic diploma mill staining the soil of the great state of Texas. 

[DiggsTX]

Trying to rage bait the team with what is likely the most difficult schedule in the country into shuffling their schedule so you can piggy back off them. Loser stuff.

Parts of it. Absolutely. 

[Assistant Regional Manager]

I will lose respect for this athletic department if they ever willingly put Texas Tech on the schedule.

If I close my eyes and concentrate on Lubbock, I can almost smell the feedlots.

Armpit of the universe.

Eh, fu*k it, schedule them. I don’t think the game would be competitive and it would prove Sark’s point.

[hookem1014]

Texas Tech continues to show why they’re the most childish university in the state. They know deep down their season is over without a QB and want to throw out fantasy scenarios as a fake “gotcha” moment. If they cared about SOS they would’ve scheduled a real team before Sark called them out.

Never capitulate. EVER

[Lock n Horns]

I hope our administration doesn’t dignify these shenanigans by publicly addressing them. Let them scream into the void. We shouldn’t empower them. If we are headed to super conferences they will be asked to join if football fans want to see them. If they don’t bring market share, ESPN, Fox, et al won’t pay up for them and  the network/conferences will simply default to the Miami’s, FSU’s, Clemson’s, ND’s etc that bring viewers and frankly more pedigree and history…..not far flung tortillas!
