A Texas Tech Red Raider and an all-around good guy. I have zero athletic ability but I can coach pretty well from my couch. Exceptional insight. 😉

The best entrance got even better 🔥

Maybe we're biased, but this is THE best entrance in all of CFB 🤩

This Texas Tech offense is lethal with Thomas Costellanos! Lethal!

What’s up with the fin secondary??? Stay with your fin man!

@Jody_Acree @HuskGuys I was more annoyed at how Rhule spent the whole time yelling at the refs. Coach your team. Spending so much energy fixated on the refs is ridiculous.

BYU comes storming back!

Terrance Carter Jr.'s mom knows a thing or two about sacrifice.

After serving 12 years in the Army and doing four tours in Iraq, CoQuence Jenkins still shaped her son into the man he is today.

I wish I could take credit for this but gotta admit it was a friend in the group chat but I’m sharing here.

In honor of CFP playoff rankings and voting day yesterday, here is the Top 25 as US Presidents

This is the culmination of a process that began at ESPN about 15 years ago.

From the early 90s to 2006, college football's national champions came from every conference. Examples: the ACC (FSU), the Big East (Miami), the Big 12 (Nebraska, Texas), the PAC 12 (USC), and the SEC (Alabama, Florida).

There were so many good teams from around the country. College football was really fun to follow. 2007 was the pinnacle.

From 2006-2012, however, every national champion came from the SEC: Florida (2006), LSU (2007), Florida (2008), Alabama (2009), Auburn (2010), Alabama (2011), Alabama (2012).

ESPN announced it was launching the SEC Network in 2013, and it launched in 2014.

Right about that time, as anyone who used to watch College Football Live and ESPN Gameday can attest, ESPN pretty much quit talking about college football as a whole and started talking about the SEC, to the detriment of other teams and conferences.

To be fair, Nick Saban's Alabama teams sucked all the air out of the room, because they changed college football and were so dominant. When they somehow failed to win a natty in any given year, some other SEC team happily filled in.

Fast-forward to today, and it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy: ESPN and ABC give the best time slots to SEC games, while other conferences are shuffled off to ESPN2, ESPNU, and elsewhere; SEC games get better ratings, because they get better networks and windows; lather, rinse, repeat.

Had a significant injury in November. Days before the weekend we lost to Cincinnati. Tech got crushed like my leg. (broken toes, foot, fibula, knee, and elbow). But I an on the mend. Like me physically, Tech bounced back and beat Arizona. Won’t be making any upcoming Tech games but the goal is to be there at the Big12 championship game. I believe in @JoeyMcGuireTTU and the Boys. Staying strong just like the Red Raiders! #WreckEm.
