@Honos305@TX4LIFE01@PeteThamel@max_olson Great point. Tech can just sit the guy.. And they just might?! But..I don’t know why they would at this point, they’re already taking the PR beating before they ever actually do the perceived “wrong thing”. Presumed guilty BEFORE the crime.
@Honos305@TX4LIFE01@PeteThamel@max_olson The dude just kicked the NCAA in the nuts. So, hell yeah! Why don’t we just kick him off the team and drop another $250k defending that decision?! That’s going to end well. No win situation.
@VolRecruiting98@john95080075@KarenWeekly You know, when I am in a competitive situation against someone with means and resources I don’t have, I really like to piss them off to the point they get laser focused on beating my ass. BTW- @john95080075 - I really liked that Tenn starting pitcher!
I'm such a @sportsiren Holly Rowe fan but I agree with Chris on this.
In football Texas Tech spends less on their roster than Texas and several SEC teams yet all anyone talks about is TT "buying players". Now I'm seeing the same double-standard in softball when anyone affiliated with the sport should be thrilled that a major university is investing so heavily in their program -- especially in today's 'football-only' culture.
Texas Tech should be applauded instead of having people throwing shade their way simply because they are going all in and winning.
For years in football the bluebloods of the sport used bagmen to help build their rosters under the table. Now that comping players and NIL are legal the bluebloods of the sport can't stand having to play by the same rules as everyone else.
Softball clearly has a little bit of that same blueblood arrogance, and the @GatorsSB softball team should be embarrassed for the "sore loser" mentality they displayed after the game today. No one faults these young ladies for being disappointed, but refusing to shake hands only reflects poorly on the University of Florida.
Furthermore, @bethmowins ought to be relegated to high school sports for sharing in this arrogance during the broadcast.
I'm a Michigan State alum, and like Texas Tech we've historically been chasing the bluebloods in our conference and nationally. The more success I see from Texas Tech the more I hope MSU's distinguished alumni are watching and learning from them so maybe we can join them as one of the "new bloods".
In the meantime, here's a message for Beth Mowins and/or anyone else covering Tx Tech's games going forward: if you're not going to discuss how much Texas, Florida, or Ohio State are paying for their rosters then kindly STFU about how much Texas Tech is spending.
Congrats to @TexasTechSB and good luck in the @WCWSsoftball !

Cody Campbell made his billions by knowing when to buy low. Facing college football’s Wild West era, Texas Tech smelled opportunity.
In the most ambitious story of my career, I went to Lubbock and wrote about the transformative power of aspiration.

My story from Lubbock drops tomorrow, and it’s maybe the best thing I’ve ever written.
So I need to ask you a favor. Blow this story up. Retweet it. Post it everywhere. Share it with your group chats.
Show us there’s appetite for big, ambitious storytelling 🌵
Several weeks ago I was ready to go all in on Texas Tech in the tournament. They were a top 6 team at https://t.co/NEBQZul4un at the time, and have incredible shooters and a dominant big man in JT Toppin.
They aren't in quite as favorable a spot now, especially because of some recent injuries.
With that said, I'm picking Texas Tech to the Final Four.
@skylarromines@Eldricks_hoes 90/10– works for more than golf. Assume you’re talking insurance clients. All young producers get the transferred nightmares from the tenured producers. Right of passage. Figured you got it.
@StudentRentPro You’d be very interested in the McDougal Overton redevelopment that happened in Lubbock, TX. Texas Tech student housing and retail changed forever. Incredible feat they pulled off.
@robjacomen Cold calling will cap a producer at a $4MM revenue book. That’s about the all I I have ever seen a cold caller build to. At that point, he just spends too much time renewing business and buying shit. Don’t fall into that trap.
