Thoughts on upcoming game? Red out game. North Texas coming in to Ruston after loss to FIU.
UNT is giving up about 300 yds/game on the ground. Hopefully we can give them a taste of what they gave us last year.
Line started at Tech -1, but has moved to Tech -4.5. Seems Vegas likes our chances here.
A Coach Crummy trap game! On paper it appears we should handle UNT fairly easy. No, not easy peasy, we ain't that good. But, well enough to win by 13-17 points. I doubt we will. UNT is smarting and seeking to right their sinking ship, they have a chip on their shoulder. Our "surfer boy" coach won't instill a killer instinct, and as such, UNT will hang around to the end with a chance to win.
Caveat: unless of course UNT has already quit on the season. In that case we might win fairly handily.
I have to wear red? Are you kidding me?
Fans not wearing red can enter if they pay a $5 surcharge.Quote:

If the weather is nice and we win by any margin I'll be happyQuote:

I did not get a message regarding tailgating rules, so I assume we are still following the "fire ban" thing?
Typical lack of Tech leadership.
The state fire marshal relaxed restrictions for tailgates, effective today. NSU made a big announcement of that for their game vs. SFA. Oh, the world's largest sports trophy, the 7'6" tall Chief Caddo, has been retired because the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma wrote a letter of protest. SFA was willing to ignore the protest but Dr. Marcus Jones of NSU, with all his whiny-azz PC, said NSU will honor the protest.Quote:

Just another example of the small details that Tech never seems to get right.Quote:

26 to 3 offensive plays.
It’s feeling like boo time. Our D is totally out of position and we can’t beat a block for anything.
Cumbie has some serious questions to answer. If anyone were interested in askingQuote:

We are making UNT look like UT. I'm almost a little impressed by how bad we are.Quote:

(The kick was good, but we got penalized before it.)
At least we're on the board.
I hope the ribbon thing is wrong and we didn't just punt on 3rd and 2.
Honestly I'm a fan. There's no point in stringing the offense out longer than necessary.Quote:

We hate the DJQuote:

2 for 5 passing wit 2 TD 😕
Good, but quick, scoring drive. Just need to stop UNT for 1:36 and go into the half with the momentum to come out big in third quarter.
And it’s too F- loudQuote:

Timeouts looking really foolish right now
those 7 points are on coachQuote:

You go for a play instead of taking a knee, and it's a run. Another Tech Special.
If you had to say, which is worse tonight, offense or defense? They are both equally atrocious
It’s just generally pretty sad. Tech is being out coached and out played.

Bachmeier could have easily picked up 2 more yards on that scramble.
Which doesn't matter because it gets wiped out by a boneheaded holding.
Which doesn't matter because of a nice Smoke gain.
Tech football!
Well, damn. That's not good.
Willis is hurt bad it appears. Can hear him screaming from the stands.
Pretty sure I heard it all the way up here.Quote:

If UNT scores here the game is over. Our defense is bad, our QB is average at best, our O-line is bad. We are not a good team.
30-14 should do it as bad as we’re playing. What crap! NT does look 2X better than Tech in every aspect of the game. 3 wins is going to be really hard for this team.
SFA 41 Northwestern St 0
I think we will be very happy with 4 wins. For the foreseeable future
This offense isn't going to score 16 points the rest of the game.
Here's the thing fellas. Yards sideways dont actually count towards the down
Pathetic
Pretty easy to play defense when you aren't even concerned about the pass.
Fire Cumby, this is not the offense we paid for.
Bad spots by refs. Crumby should have challenged the spot and didn’t. We turn it over. People are booing. Embrace the suck.
Bad bad bad
Probably not the worst we'll play this year either
4 more yearsQuote:

Wait Hank was also injured in the last drive?
Our players are made of glass.
I think he got hurt on that play where UNT got a 15 yard penalty for landing on himQuote:

It’s infuriating to watch.

Sonny Crummy and crew needs to find a new approach both offensively and defensively!
Every part of the game experience was awful. Tech is in an extremely sad situation. It’s no wonder why no other conference than a sliding CUSA accepts Tech. Everything about our program screams “Loser”.
I thought me leaving, not paying attention, and doing other things might improve things. It did not. Sorry.
YupQuote:

UNT came into this game 7-25 on 3rd downs for the season. They're 9-15 tonight. And they haven't all been short yardage
3rd and 5
3rd and 6 twice
3rd and 8
3rd and 10
3rd and 11
We left the game. I may come back to homecoming only if I have friends are going. Not going for the football.
They've had one punt and one turnover. Their other 7 drives have ended in points.
I wish I could say I’m surprised but somehow we’ve managed to take a bad atmosphere with students that don’t support the team and made it worse and we have the worst student section in college football. The only time anyone gets excited in this stadium is when they think they are doing to get on our crappy Jumbotron.
Brokemeier is not the answer
Boise State didn't want him! Just saying
Well, Turner isn't afraid to chuck it
Still happy we called a timeout for them at the end of the half. We are such nice hosts.
Offense seems to have fire under it without Hank
be a good time to come up with a sack
We couldn't cover a table if you spotted us the table cloth
That TD before half… bites ya.
Their o-line whipped us all night. Jeez.
For the 5000 people left in the stadium it was at least an entertaining finish.
