@gwilkie80 @William_Wildcat @Big12Conference This would be correct. Large donors for both those programs… lots more in football too… Campbell is just the one with his name on the field. I’m sure he’s willing to take the heat to see TTU athletics grow though.

[CFB Junkies @gwilkie80]

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.

@CoyoteRaider @RaiderTy92 Got him to the NFL without playing a single game. The TTU development is insane

[🌵🇺🇲OFFICIAL JOEY MCGUIRE FAN CLUB @YogapagodaCCN]

2. We dont care about Texas Tech

3. then posts 3 to 4 paragraphs about Texas Tech.

[Taylor Brown @RedGoat86]

@Jeff_Brunson “Lubbock Area” as in he resides closer to Lubbock than Anchorage, Alaska? 🤨

[Taylor Brown @RedGoat86]

@Jeff_Brunson @BRunSports @CodyC64 how can an alum get their hands on one of these?!?

[Taylor Brown @RedGoat86]

@Jeff_Brunson @BRunSports Get us some of these! My office shelf needs one!

[Dan Isett 🌵 @DanIsett]

I don't know how this game is going to turn out, but the Raider Red helmets will remain undefeated.

[Norense Odiase @kingno_]

I hate Texas.

[Dan Isett 🌵 @DanIsett]

Omg, another Tech NIL reference from the ESPN crew:

"A team constructed to win a national championship"

What are the other 300 teams trying to do?

[Taylor Brown @RedGoat86]

No one cares about the last game, other than someone who is scared to play the next game… bring your 2’s and 3’s and beat us by 50 again… #spottheball

[🤘Nope🤘 @IKnowFB]

@flatland_sports You’re not a rival

[John Curry’s Deer Blind👆🏻🌵 @mttechsan]

Just gonna put this right here

[Dan Isett 🌵 @DanIsett]

You know, for an irrelevant, poverty school with no tradition, poor academics, and clown fans, Texas Tech has commanded the national conversation for weeks now.

[Dan Isett 🌵 @DanIsett]

With no agriculture program, how many Longhorn fans know the difference between a steer and a bull in the first place?

[T-Bob Hebert @TBob53]

If Texas doesn't make an honest effort to play Texas Tech in week 1 they are bitch made

You can't say you would win the Big 12 with your twos and threes and then refuse the challenge of a school who doesn't even have their multi million dollar star quarterback

[Taylor Brown @RedGoat86]

@Doc_Texas Hypothetical BS is all you see… this is a school yard fight at a high level… do you want to step into the playground and determine bragging rights or run to the principal and hide? Come the the playground. t.u. wins, the score is settled. t.u. Loses the score is also settled…

[Taylor Brown @RedGoat86]

Texas coping at this point because it “not at home”

[SweetDollaIceT @SweetDollaIceT]

Texas Tech: “Come play us in Lubbock.”
Also Texas Tech: 52-51 (OT) over ACU at home.

Reminder: Tech wants to buy ACU out of the game and force Texas to play anywhere but Austin. At this point, I’m not convinced they’re eager to see either one.

[Old Row Guns Up 🌵 @OldRowGunsUp]

- Texas got bitched by Tennessee today in the WCWS
- Joey shoved Sarks drunk ass in a locker
- Texas ducking the smoke and not scheduling us week 1
- the T-Shirt fans keep bringing up the past for some reason

We won the war.

[Red Raider Man🌵 @redraiderman1]

Cody Campbell just DEMOLISHED Sark 😭

[Pat McAfee @PatMcAfeeShow]

"It's become very clear that there are quite a few steers down in Austin & not very many bulls..

Sark should have known when he opened his mouth that he better be ready to pack a lunch..

We're ready to spot the ball..

You name the place & we'll be there" ~ @CodyC64
