This is my little brother, Texas A&M.
He’s a pain in my assholes.

I sign Micah Hudson,
He must sign Micah Hudson.

I get a CFP bid,
He must get a CFP bid.

I go to the quarterfinals,
He cannot afford.

Great success!

If your team isn’t 4-0, lower your voice when you talk to me

I’ve always said that ESPN’s AVGWP, GC and EFF ratings were the best metrics to rank a team.

Texas Tech is the best team in the country considering those “metrics”

1st in AVGWP
2nd in GC
3rd in Overall EFF
(Average of 2nd)

No argument can be made against this as they are data based

Don’t let their fans distract you from the fact that Texas is the only school in Texas that hasn’t played for a national championship in the big three sports over the last ten years.

Baylor: Basketball
Houston: Basketball
TCU: Football
A&M: Baseball
Tech: Basketball

SMU: Not P4

Texas: Ass

If Auburn can claim national titles based on obscure selectors, dusty polls, and the power of wishful thinking, then it’s only fair that Texas Tech be crowned the rightful 1953 NCAA Champion.

After all, the Red Raiders actually won games that year, which already gives them a firmer claim than Auburn has to most of its “retroactive trophies.”

The 1953 Pretenders

Let’s look at the so-called powers of 1953 according to the AP Poll:
·       Maryland (#1) (10-1):
Sure, the Terrapins went undefeated in the regular season. But when it mattered—in the Orange Bowl—they folded faster than a cheap lawn chair, losing to Oklahoma. Champions don’t melt in the Miami sun.
·       Notre Dame (#2) (9-0-1):
Undefeated, tied, and still managed to dodge a bowl game. Claiming a title without showing up in the postseason? That’s not championship grit—that’s skipping finals and still asking for an A.
·       Oklahoma (#3) (9-1-1):
The Sooners were hot by the end of the year, but they dropped their opener to… wait for it… Notre Dame. If the Irish didn’t want to claim the throne, why should their victims?

And lurking beyond all this? Texas Tech, quietly doing the work, crushing Border Conference opponents, and waiting for history to notice.

Texas Tech’s Legitimate Case

Texas Tech finished the year 11–1, the lone blemish being a non-conference game against Texas A&M. They captured the Border Conference crown with ease, proving themselves week after week against the slate put in front of them.

Texas Tech won the Gator Bowl against… wait for it… Auburn.

No other team had more than 10 wins, with championship claiming Maryland being 10-1. More importantly, Texas Tech didn’t hide behind excuses, skipped opportunities, or choke on the big stage the way the AP darlings did.

If Auburn can count a title for 1910 because a newspaper clipping looked at them funny, then Texas Tech’s 1953 dominance surely deserves recognition.

So let’s be clear: Maryland fizzled, Notre Dame ghosted, Oklahoma stumbled, and Michigan State… well, they lost to Purdue.

Meanwhile, Texas Tech actually handled its business in 1953. If Auburn is out here inflating its trophy case with “National Championships of the Imagination,” then Texas Tech deserves the crown for 1953.

No asterisk, no apology, just the rightful champion.

@SeeingScarlet_ I had a roommate that was a manager for the basketball team during the Chris Beard era and I’d print sheets of paper that said “Reserved by MBB Staff” at the library and have a front row seat to every game
