Texas Tech "beats" Oklahoma

[Dragon2Aggie]

so the refs were on Tech's side as they win in the last 4 seconds of the game...oh well they still lost to Oklahoma State

[RedRaider08]

dont be mad just because we won. the better team won anways.

[jtk1519]

OU Sux got screwed badly, but they almost deserved it. Tech is not good and they played horrible today. They gift wrapped the game and tried to give it to the land thieves, but somehow, they managed to screw it up. Bob Stoops is an idiot and Rhett Turnover sucks.

[Dragon2Aggie]

I honestly didn't care who won until I thought about how cocky and rude the tech fans are and how nice it would have been to suffer two losses in a row

[lonny23]

I'm going to be tossing tortillas over here in Kyrgyzstan. Tech is going to the Cotton Bowl and Leach will have them ready for the SEC.

Tech has the best fans of the colleges on this forum.

This "idiot" as you call him owns the horns & Mack Brown!

[KT2000]

Did anyone catch a good replay of the Tech TD? I couldn't tell if he was in or not.

Stoops was obviously just renting and his lease is up.

Yeah, he got in for sure. His body never touched the ground and the refs didnt blow the whistle to stop the play or anything. When Henderson fell forward, he landed on one of his linemen and was able to extend the ball over the goal line. Heck of an effort from Henderson and one helluva call from the Leach.

[BigWhiteJake]

stoops owns texas? whos beat him more times, mack or mike? times up, mack -2 mike -1....that pointed being mooted for the moment I go on to say tech is trash, that is the second lucky win they have had this year, they should have never won in nebraska and never won today. o well Texas dominated them just like we all said they would and when tech ends up drawing Alabama in the Cotton Bowl they will get whipped again....

KT- on the last play he was definately in, but Amendola's first down???OMG that is one of the 3 worst ref moves I have seen all year, right up there with the USC/leinart ball spot, and in the TCU/Utah game when the receiver ran out of bounds and the ref said clock runs...

[BigArab]

Fact of the matter, Stoops is a great guy. I'm not an OU fan, but the guy is a great coach and a good person. You shouldn't be saying he's an idiot because you don't like him.

[jtk1519]

I call him an idiot because of the way he kept throwing an injured Peterson to the wolves. Other than that, he's a great coach.

Owns?
uhhhh...no
This year wasn't the first time Mack has beat OU...

[dragonfootballfan]

they may own Mack brown, but 3-5 is not exactly owning, but they definitely don't own the horns. Right now Texas has scoreboard and the all time record.

[Texasfrog]

It was a "tie".. ball hit the paint and knee hit the ground. The thing that saved Henderson from being called "down" was he rolled over on his back so the ball could get into the zone.

I think they gave him forward motion on the catch. It was close !!

Ya... I would like to see Tx Tech vs Bama or Auburn in the old Cotton Bowl.

[KatyHighCO04]

I didn't even know Amendola had caught the ball until he came out of the pile holding it, they didn't show a replay or anything at the stadium. I still haven't seen a replay of it, so I have no clue. They did review it and it stood, so according to the system that both teams agreed upon before the game, it was correct.

im a neutral fan but tech fans are not cocky or rude...cocky fans are the fans from ou...rude fans are the fans from ou...heck no school is perfect...aggie has rude and cocky fans but it doesnt mean a thing because one cocky or rude fan doesnt mean the whol college is rude...ive been up to tech 3 times and those fans arent cocky or rude...they are just fans with a sense of humor

Ya... cocky rude, mean, arrogant fans or the Ohio St fans. :mad:

[G@rr3tt Un!t57]

I watched the entire game yall it shouldve been about 40 to 21 instead of the suspense there at the end. theres no doubt in my mind TECH is better. I've been to 2 of their games and 2 of OU's and theres no comparison. As to what one of u said earlier about TECH fans being cocky or arrogant how can u judge?! Did u even see the Red River Shootout? They were cocky even when they were losing by 30 some-odd points. I think it was that aggiefan somthin guy but hey hes prolly still crying from this year wait annnd last year.

[lonny23]

Here's what I thought was funny. I saw Tech was on the 2 with 4 seconds left and thought that Leach would run it with Henderson. That's why I like Leach. He was willing to go against the book and run the ball in the red zone and won the game. He plays to win and not to lose by always following the unwritten rules.

[lonny23]

Anybody that thinks Tech is going to get rolled on in the Cotton Bowl hasn't been paying attention. Some coaches are very good in bowl games because they get 1 month to come up with a gameplan. Tech does very well in bowl games and I guarantee they'll beat Alabama if they play in the Cotton Bowl. Some of the other teams like LSU or Auburn scare me more than Alabama does. Tech still isn't at the point where they have as many top athletes on the field as some other Top 25 teams.

[biki1121]

I see Tech in a similar position as UT was just a few years ago. Gaining momentum in recruiting, nice scheme on the offensive side of the ball and their defense has vastly improved. I don't really care for Leach but the guy is learning to be a good coach and his game preps are much improved. I really think with one or 2 more solid recruiting classes and they will give UT some tight games over the next few years.

Tech is building up momentum. Sure, I wanted them to go 11-0 and I thought 10-1, but they got 9-2 and that's fine because they needed the Cotton Bowl. It will help with recruiting and that's what Leach needed to get better. He's a good coach and just needs better players for the big games.

[dragonfootballfan]

Now that Tech is getting a higher quality athlete it will be interesting to see how they perform. A lot of times when the qualtiy of athlete gets better. The expectations go up, but I hate to say, the results go down.

[bhs06_2]

This game made me sick! Everyone knows that the referees were on Tech's side. Had it been played in Norman, this would not have happened. Tech once again gets lucky. They are not a very good team and will get rolled in the Cotton Bowl. I think they are worse than TCU and UTEP and would probably get beat by both. Put a more deserving team from Texas in the Cotton Bowl.

I have nothing against TCU or UTEP, but neither would be the 2nd best team in the Big 12 this year.

[garlandredraider]

BHS- so you think OU should be in the cotton? Quit crying about the calls... whats done is done. They reviewed it on Instant Replay and if it was that bad of a call it would of been reversed.

Ask him about his Bell team that was supposed to go 7-0 in District 6-5A. You've heard of them. It's the district with E Trinity, SGP, and IMac! :p

[BigWhiteJake]

From what I saw, Amendola's catch was no where near a first down, and theres no way you could say the DB from OU has possession then Amendola ripped it out of his hands. Thus, the game should have been over right there. At first I thought TH was in, but after seeing in on SC he was clearly not, these were both glaring errors and I am really baffled by both. OU is kind of a marker team this year, they dont really have anything special, but they dont "suck". That is to say, they are good enough to beat a ranked team on a given day, and solid enough to lose to any bottom half teams. This being said, if OU had played Tech's schedule, where each is in the rankings right now would be reversed, Tech WOULD NOT beat UCLA, and Tech/TCU would be a good one to watch. OU deserved to win out there today, the refs cost them the game, nothing against Tech for taking it, I just find Tech's fans to be a little annoying at times, and oddly enough I can stand OU fans. PS aggy has no fans left so my take on them is moot

[biki1121]

Sure there are plenty of A&M fans left. Most of us are just busy worrying about the condition of the program. UT is the best team in the conference this year and probably the best UT squad I have ever seen. However, just because A&M is having a difficult time this year doesn't mean we have no fans left.

[BigWhiteJake]

true, maybe they have just quited down since preseason

[biki1121]

I will give you that. A lot of "chest thumpers" after last season who expected the world this year. A fair assessment of this team is difficult at best. A healthy squad with at least a decent high school scheme and A&M finishes 7-4 with a mid-level bowl game. However, this is not the case. Major injuries to starters and key-backups coupled with a complete lack of defense and it really suprises me they have won 5 games. Although that is not an excuse for the lack of coaching adaption.

Maybe YOU have not been paying attention. Tech has looked bad against teams nowhere near the quality of Alabama, Auburn or LSU. Unless you did not catch them against OK St. or even Baylor. Nebraska had them beat as well as OU. Tech WILL get rolled by either of those three SEC teams this year.

[dragonfootballfan]

I really think that the Big 12 is going to get embarassed this bowl season. The only thing that can save the Big 12 from total shame is for Texas to win the National Championship. Oklahoma may be able to get it together by the time they get to play in one of the lesser bowl games against a team that probably has little to no talent. I look for a Tech loss as well as anyone from the Big 12 North.

[BigWhiteJake]

lol oklahoma is headed to the holiday bowl for Oregon or to the alamo bowl for minnesota or michigan...i dont think they will draw any easy cards this bowl season

there is a possibility for them to go to the Liberty bowl. If they do then they will get an easy team

[BigWhiteJake]

that hinges on texas not winning the big XII championship though, correct?

[dragonfootballfan]

I am not sure, but if it is Oklahoma will be beat down as well

[garlandredraider]

haha this reminds me of #4 Cal vs Tech last year in the holiday bowl..... after we lost to UT, A&M, OU, and NM. Oh well, guess people will find out that Leach can beat anyone with over a month to prepare.

Also take a look at that goal line pic again.... when his hip hits the ground... hit pause. you will see the ball is on the white line of the goalline. The main thing that helped him is that he fell on his teammates foot and it kept him off the ground and able to stretch before his hip hit the ground.

One thing is for sure.. We'll see. Every year at this time its the same smack talk about Tx Tech. "They aint that good."

We'll see... something tells me that Tx Tech is going to play. We'll see how Alabama "mighty defense" does against Tx Tech pass happy offense.

I agree 100% with ya... I really like Tx Tech chances against a team like Alabama.

LSU & Auburn might be tougher overall. Those are the two top teams in the SEC (IMO) even over Georgia.

[BigWhiteJake]

If Tech plays Alabama I will give them a shot based on the fact that their strong suit lines up against 'bama, and their weak D lines up against 'bama's stagnant offense. If they play Auburn, they are going to get worked though, and if LSU loses the SEC championship, they will slaughter Tech. If Georgia ends up in the Cotton Bowl, I really don't see how Tech is going to stop DJ Shockley...

I think Tech can beat Bama.

Tech vs Ga would be pretty tough. I think it would be a toss up level game. I think Ga has some holes.

LSU & Auburn are better then Tech and would handle Tech.

actually I'll admit that the A&M football team is not good...yes they do have potential but potential doesn't mean anything unless you use what you have. as for tech fans... pouring red paint on someone at tech vs. a&m game isn't rude? throwing gum in someone's hair isn't rude? throwing cups at our yell leaders? holding up their middle finger up and holding up signs that I'm not even going to repeat what they said. before the a&m tech game this year the leaders from both schools had to meet to figure out what they were going to do about the problem with tech's rude and disrespectful fans and security issues. i have NEVER seen any aggies being anywhere near this disrespectful to any visiting team fans. all this shows is that the tech fans are classless. but hey thats what you expect from a group of people that got stuck living in lubbock after they got rejected from every other school they applied too...figures, oh yah and I'm girl.
