@_ChatCFB @secnumbersguy Wait until Oregon State beats Boise. If not sooner. Only two losses. Tech and Houston. I vote for chaos.

I admire the will at Texas sometimes...

It's not often a team is so scared to play Texas Tech, that they'll just lose to 2 unranked teams back-to-back to remove the chance to play them in the CFP.

Well done, Texas. I admire your resolve! The hardest choices require the strongest wills!

Big 12 teams beat Notre Dame and Oregon this year. BYU is about to be in the top five, and there are going to be three Big 12 teams in the top ten. Respectfully, maybe everyone can just shut the hell up with the Big 12 slander for a week.

[Mr. Riddle🌵 @mrriddle]

@The_Middletoe @CoyoteRaider It's not worth arguing if they can't even beat unranked teams.

The boys discuss whether the Big 12 should have 3 teams in the AP top 12 🤔

@TopTierUtes Looks like they went to the mall booth and had someone airspray their logos on. Nice.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: A little reminder that Texas Tech fans have always been hilariously annoying (but it’s ok at the expense of Sooners)

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RAIDERS!”

@funkdoubies @RudyHarlan8 I can hear the entire crowd chanting.... and pointing... "Thats on you! THATS ON YOU!....." WNBA.... thinest skinned professional leage.

[Mr. Riddle🌵 @mrriddle]

@gracest4269 @RudyHarlan8 You aint ever seen Spike Lee at a game huh... 🤦

[Mr. Riddle🌵 @mrriddle]

@RudyHarlan8 A'ja Wilson will now have every away crowd pointing at her yelling "Thats on you!". She's gonna hate what she created.

[Mr. Riddle🌵 @mrriddle]

@GlossMore @NiteHussla Dont go pointing out the childish behavior of the WNBA. Its not lack of fans that will end that league. It's the lack of maturity and professionalism in some of their player-leaders.

[Mr. Riddle🌵 @mrriddle]

@ohnohedidnt24 Everyone is about to point at that woman in EVERY game now! 🤣🤣

The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day: Texas Tech University is 101 years old today, on account of it was Sept. 30, 1925 that Texas Technological College opened in Lubbock, with 914 students in four schools: Agriculture, Engineering, Home Economics, and Liberal Arts. Naturally, this being Texas and all, a bit of chicanery was involved.

The push to establish a college in West Texas began before 1900, almost as soon as settlers began putting down roots on the plains. Their efforts appeared to pay off in 1917, when the Texas Legislature approved the creation of West Texas A&M College as a branch of Texas A&M. But the victory was short-lived. The law was repealed at the next legislative session after it was discovered that Governor James E. Ferguson had falsely reported Abilene as the choice of the committee charged with selecting the college site.

Naturally, Ferguson's deception got everybody's dander up and stiffened the resolve of West Texans. With the West Texas Chamber of Commerce helping lead the campaign, supporters continued pressing Austin for a college of their own. Their persistence finally paid off in 1923, when the Legislature approved a compromise bill written by State Senator William H. Bledsoe of Lubbock and State Representative Lewis Carpenter of Dallas.

Competition for the new school was fierce. Thirty-seven West Texas towns submitted proposals, and the locating board visited every one of them before choosing Lubbock. A local steering committee purchased 2,008 acres just west of town and sold the land to the state for the new campus.

So ....Guns up, Red Raiders!
