Video Message from Texas Tech Leadership - 4 hours ago

Integrity? Tech fans chanting that word after that video is the funniest thing to come out of Lubbock since the last dust storm tried to relocate the entire city.

Your program has spent the last month tripping over its own lies, scandals, and self‑inflicted humiliation, and you’re over here acting like a pre‑recorded apology‑video‑with‑background‑music is some kind of moral high ground.

Your coach lied publicly and got exposed. Your booster went on radio pretending he could buy out games like he’s the commissioner of college football. Your QB got permanently banned for betting on his own team - the NCAA basically hit him with the sports equivalent of a restraining order. Your AD has been hiding behind scripted videos because he knows the second he takes real questions, the whole façade collapses.

And YOU want to talk about integrity? Tech talking about integrity is like a pickpocket giving a TED Talk on financial ethics.

That video wasn’t leadership. It was a hostage note from an athletic department begging the rest of the country to stop laughing at them.

Spoiler: we’re not stopping

And the funniest part? That video wasn’t even meant for the fans - it was Tech trying to convince themselves they still run a serious operation. Every line was vague, empty, and terrified of specifics. They didn’t deny anything. They didn’t address anything. They just wrapped all their scandals in soft lighting and hoped nobody noticed the stench.

It was a PR lullaby. A crisis‑management bedtime story. A “please clap” moment dressed up as integrity.

If that’s the standard in Lubbock now, no wonder the rest of the country is laughing.

The AD saying that the integrity of the game is sacred is as hippocritical as it gets. Reminds me of politicians and how they'll say anything to line their pockets and keep themselves in office. This whole ordeal is gross, and the fact that it involves our state and affects the only sport I love is terrible.

They just keep digging a deeper hole.

Well said!! Where’s code man in this video?! He’s the chairman of the board of regents, I’d love to hear his scripted lies too! Shovanec sounds like code man is under the table squeezing his unmentionables to keep him in line.

Blink twice, Joey, if Cody is pointing a gun at you.

Oh great, they're putting monitoring apps on his phone.haha At this point, he already knows that trying to log into PrizePicks is what alerted authorities in the first place.

From everything that's been reported, it sounds like many of the wagers were allegedly placed through third parties, with him sending them large sums of money and having them place the bets. If that's the case, how does monitoring an app on his phone prevent that from happening again? Are they going to monitor every phone call and text message too?

You know what I don’t get about the whole sorsby thing is he really isn’t that good of a QB

I was disappointed techs leadership didn't give me a price on the used car I thought they were trying to sell me.
