It’s actually very peaceful on Saturdays now that our University has killed our football program and no longer participates in competitive college football. I’ll never forget those stressful Fall Saturdays of the last 30 years, but that’s a piece of history that will never return. At least we’re not a “mediocre” 8-4 and playing in another “meaningless” bowl game year after year after year. That really sucked.
Stress free Saturdays because Crummy's bunch is mostly playing on weekdays. Of course, there's really no stress any day when you have zero expectations of success.
It was stress free today, but unfortunately I also watched Miss State and Arkansas.
THAT was some bad football right there.Quote:

At least y'all watched it on TV. I was there. Quite possibly the worst football I have ever seen in my 50+ years as a football fan.Quote:

You’d think that with a new president coming in at least AD Wood would be jump starting his efforts to do something… anything to keep his job but maybe doing nothing is good enough at Tech.Quote:

Oakes, Bicknell and Conroy Hines calling screen passes every other play. We didn’t know how good we had it!
I will be watching tonight, but pretty much am just waiting on basketball now and hoping for the best in that too.
I'll be surprised if we win tonight. It's not that NMSU is particularly good, it's just that they don't absolutely suck like us. Still, they are New Mexico State for Pete's sake, I mean, come on Dawgs...sheesh! :icon_roll:
Crummy has to practically run the table to avoid a second straight losing season, but with losses coming at Liberty and Jax State, ain't going to happen. So, he will join Billy Brewer as the only other coach* to start his Tech career with back-to-back losing seasons. In 1980 and 1981 Brewer went 5-6 and 4-6-1 before recording a 10-3 season in 1982.
* in modern times.
Okay, just had to look it up. Tod Rockwell had back-to-back losing seasons at Tech in 1928 and 1929. So, Crummy is about to enter rarified air!
The Greek letters are back! Our journey back to FCS is complete :icon_roll:.
Yeah, I know, it's a special promotion. But still...
Haha. The very first play looked to be a sideline pass that was too well covered so the QB had to run it. 3 & out, so much for our 2 weeks of practice scripted plays.
Cumbie’s usual gutless play calling… a run up the middle on 3 & 24.
I swear, we can't get out of our own way. We get in the red zone on our second drive and get a dumb 15 yard penalty and have to settle for a 40 yard FG. We overcome an awful chop block penalty on our second drive and punch it in the end zone, but the XP is blocked.
2 weeks of preparation for this.
PAT blocked. That is just perfect
