@JarheadFrog We’re aware and not worried. 😉

@AndrewBrandt You must not know Coach @JoeyMcGuireTTU if you’re making a post like that insinuating that our staff was being disingenuous in their support of Brendan.

@BrutusWolf22908 @TomMarsLaw @jasonscheer You must be reading a different thread. Someone probably feels a little humiliated, but it ain’t @jasonscheer .

I'm fascinated by the pettiness that is the @Big12Conference . When I was living in my home state of Michigan developing my love of college sports as part of my school newspaper staff my knowledge of Tx Tech didn't extend much past Michael Crabtree's catch and their quirky coach.

But since moving to Texas I've learned a lot more. I've enjoyed following and, yes, defending them from all the virtue-signaling hypocrites who have attacked them over pulling an SEC and getting an injunction to sidetrack NCAA ineligibility. I'll go to my grave believing that if Sorsby had chosen LSU over TT we'd have heard a lot less about it and Sorsby would be suiting up this fall in Baton Rouge.

A big part of the difference is the SEC supports it's own. They've had seemingly countless injunctions in that league yet those schools don't openly criticize each other. They may hate each other behind closed doors, but if that's the case we'll never hear about it in public.

The Big 12, on the other hand, had bitter coaches and athletic directors who couldn't wait to find someone in the media to talk about internal meetings about TT and their outrage that TT would dare consider playing it's $5M portal QB after a judge made him eligible.

And now we're finding out more and more about Cincinnati doing EXACTLY what the others were accusing TT of wanting to do -- knowingly playing a QB who gambled on his own team.

Except Cincy tried to sweep it under the carpet despite being notified in 2024 according to USA Today and Sorsby's agent. Yet there is no outrage for the Bearkats from TCU's Sonny Dykes, or Kansas State's foul-mouthed Gene Taylor, or any of the others who were so outraged at TT. And ever the hypocrite, Cincy even had the gall to vote for sanctioning TT.

There's some indication that behind the scenes only Oklahoma State was supporting TT for doing what 99% of the other universities in the country would do under the same circumstances. That makes sense to me because at the end of the day TT and OSU are probably the most valuable athletic departments and the natural candidates to fill the void left by Texas and Oklahoma.

So why is the Big 12 so petty compared to the SEC when it comes to having each other's backs? My guess is the Big 12 is full of have-nots who are extremely insecure at the thought of anyone becoming the 900 lbs gorilla that TT has quickly become. In the SEC, much like the Big Ten, there are a bunch of gorillas so everyone is pretty secure.

But the Big 12 only has TT and not much else unless OSU returns to prominence or BYU continues breaking through on a regular basis. And the insecurity that comes from that fact means articles like the Iowa State write-up below are never going to defend the league heavyweight. They're just going to be petty, virtue-signaling, and bitter.

I guess the moral of the story is that have-nots seem to only be happy with other have-nots.

“Pay Women” they say. Except when Texas Tech does it then they all get petty and mad

Fk em… LFG

@RollingStone His show was so un-funny when he made it all about pushing his own political views, and it caused his ratings to plummet and his eventual cancellation.

I hope Byron Allen can get things back on track.

[Rob C @RCuviston]

Close … “Raider Red”, not Red Raider. But I’ll take it. Great job guys.

[Rob C @RCuviston]

@CoachNeuheisel it’s NOT Pistol Pete, it’s Raider Red. Pistol Pete is Oklahoma State, and he along with OSU’s horse were “borrowed” from Tech back in the 80s. @ChildersRadio

@gwilkie80 @megynkelly I like Megyn, but she's always been influenced by people like Tucker Carlson. Plus she needs more clicks for all her new podcasters. That's one of the reasons I really like @RubinReport -- he's guided by his own values & doesn't have to sell out to find viewers for 'The Nerve'.

[Rob C @RCuviston]

@RichardTom60173 @JoeConchaTV Exactly.

[Rob C @RCuviston]

@JoeConchaTV Well, she’s not dumb, so you do the math.

[Rob C @RCuviston]

@derrico_henrio You might want to make it clear this is a parody account. @TexasTechFB — fyi.

[Rob C @RCuviston]

@RICHYB74 @TVNewsNow Trump does a lot of things I don’t agree with, but you’re absolutely right. Their problem with him is he’s a Republican and they’re mad he won, we all know it. And they aren’t unbiased journalists, they’re liberal activists abusing freedom of the press.

[Rob C @RCuviston]

@tom__builder @gwilkie80 @NotAComedian @tatereeves I don’t blame him. I block people who pass along fake info too.

[Rob C @RCuviston]

@gwilkie80 @tom__builder @NotAComedian @tatereeves There’s always more to the story than they’re telling us.

[Rob C @RCuviston]

@NBCNews That happens to a lot of us unfortunately. It’s what happens when organizations lose money, and these people were in parts of government losing money due to fraud and waste.

[Rob C @RCuviston]

@amanpour You never were in the military, and stealing the valor from all of those who served is really pretty disgusting.

[Rob C @RCuviston]

@UnimpressedTX @rdmagnum @JeniferJ1234 @KatTimpf @RoadMN That’s irrelevant, genius.

[Rob C @RCuviston]

@JeniferJ1234 @KatTimpf @RoadMN Speaking of not too bright, an old lady attacking a young woman because she’s a cancer survivor is the epitome of “not too bright.” Do you really think anyone other than militant political creeps are going to go along? Do you think it makes anyone like you?
