    Thinking of making the trip to Ames

    The weather guys down here are saying it may snow, but will definitely be cold. Is that what you guys are hearing as well? Not a deal breaker at all. Just need to know what to pack. Thanks for the suggestions . I will check back on this thread throughout the week.

    Thinking of making the trip to Ames

    Looking at making the 14 hour trek from central Texas to Ames. Never been there before. It's one of three Big 12 stadiums I have yet to visit. (Jack Trice, Manhattan , and Lawrence). A few questions. 1. What is there to do before the game Saturday morning? Tailgate? Must Go To...

    Questions from a Red Raider

    Just rewatching our game from last year, got me thinking: What are your expectations on offense with Mangino as OC? Have you settled on a QB? Bundgage (sp?) gonna be your best WR? Defensively, what are your expectations? Is George still playing? At LB? Will you beat Iowa...

    Tech's Offense is a lot less scary than they seem

    Jace Amaro (#22) is an absolute beast, and an match up nightmare. He's 6'5" and 270 and can run like the wind for a guy that big. Eric Ward (#18) is probably the most complete WR. He's a physical guy, and runs a ton of verts. Bradley Marquez (#4) is a deep threat and has respectable speed...

    Thinking about making the trip to Ames

    Wife and I are mid to late 30s. Looking for a road trip in the fall. I was counting on late September being a good time for that. I would assume anything after October it's 6-5 and pick em if you're gonna get good weather. Besides, its going to be 105 today here in Texas, so anything will be...

    Thinking about making the trip to Ames

    I'm thinking about a road trip to Ames to watch Tech / ISU. A few questions: 1. How hard will tickets be to get? Where are "good" seats? Price? 2. Hotels: Any suggestions? What about getting a room in Des Moines? Ankeny? 3. Friday Night before the game. What to do? Where to go? 4...

    TT Not happy with Tubbs

    Texas Tech fan here. No doubt that the fans are restless after the HORRIBLE offensive output vs UT. Then UCLA does what it did. Neil Brown, who played and coached with Leach, said the offense wouldn't change. And it hasn't really. What has changed is the execution of the offense. As a...

    VLOG: First look at Texas Tech

    Texas Tech set a new record for seaon ticket sales, and just yesterday had a record turnout for our KickOff Luncheon. The team, and the Tech community support Tubs. By the way, we are going to run essentially the same offense. We brought in Neal Brown, the OC at Troy last year. YouTube it...

    Is ISU safe? Could the Big 12 still implode?

    You've missed your guess on a few things. 3. A&M made the release at the time it did to show that they are not a puppet to UT, which is what their fanbase not only wants, but demands. They could have done this privately, and it would have been given a private response. However, by going...

    Is ISU safe? Could the Big 12 still implode?

    A few things about this: 1. A&M Athletic Department owes $16 Million to the University. About a year or so ago, the Athletic Department was broke.....flat ***, credit cards maxed out, eating tuna can dinners broke. They need the money NOW. You should literally think of the commercial...."ITS...

    W and L the 2010 Schedule

    Don't have time to respond to every post from an NU poster, so allow me to summarize: 1. No team can mitigate a loss better than NU. It seems that they NEVER actually get beat. (Well we held you to XXXX yards, blah, blah, blah). Don't pay attention to the score, because it doesn't really...

    W and L the 2010 Schedule

    I'm a Red Raider, and yes, the NU secondary is suspect. The corners were lost when they played us--in Lincoln. Without Suh, getting pressure on the QB will be hard. Without that pressure, like it happened during the Tech game, the DB's were beat frequently.

    Big 12 Reprimands Tuberville

    From the Tech Board: Some may have seen this in the bible of all college bibles, Phil Steele's College Football Magazine. This is the BIG 12 standings for the last 3, 5 and 10 years. Vs Big 12 opponents only. 3year... 1. Texas..................20-4 2. Oklahoma............18-6 3...
