Ok...I'll step up and set up the game thread..30 minutes before kickoff...:)
:) was wondering if there would be one...
Well, here we go...
Great start
Wow
Field Goal U!
Controversial play! Let's look at the live view of the refs instead of a replay for 2 minutes
Love the music from the video board instead of our band being ready for the replay delay.
Looks like a few folks in the stands. I often go to homecoming, and afternoon games are best for us, but I felt zero motivation to attend this year. Props to those who are making the effort.
You have to go all the way back to the Larry Beightol year to find this level of ineptitude.
More than I expected. The energy is extremely low. This team is so much worse in personQuote:

The radio announcer who talks thru his nose needs to go back to just doing the lady techsters.
Maybe should've been spending time preparing for Sam Houston instead of spending time preparing to embarrass one of our few beat reporter
I think Cumbie might actually be retarded
#BringBackBicknell!
Those cheerleaders are never going to get in shape doing push-ups for Tech scores.
I think you’re on to something. His halftime interview was……interestingQuote:

Wood has to know with a new president that he has no choice to continue to let Cumbie cash a check for doing nothing.
Cumbie said he was proud of how the defense has played and how we ran the ball. Blamed everything on the passing game. Isn’t he calling the plays? Simple solution. Hand the clipboard to ANYONE else.Quote:

The new president is going to cash a check for doing nothing, as is Wood. Why should Cumbie be scrutinized?Quote:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers got their first NFL win against the Saints in NOLA.
Now Louisiana can add to that proud history by letting Sam Houston get their first FBS win on LA Tech’s home field, at homecoming no less.
Pathetic.
I’m trying to figure out why I am hereQuote:

Bleed Tech Blue post game radio show should just be that they’ve got a call in to Cumbie to get an explanation for sucking so bad but he’s not answering. They’re holding.
Midway thru the 3rd quarter until Tech scored a TD.
If they step up just a little, they could still eke out a win. But don’t bet on it.
They’ll probably have a chance to win if they can score with 2 minutes left, and the effort will be bungled. I think that is in the playbook, because we’ve seen it a lot.
I'm looking forward to thisQuote:

Getting clobbered...
If Tech loses they pretty much have to terminate Cumbie for the university to have any future football credibility otherwise every player will portal out and they won’t hardly be able to field a team.
The future of the team has not ever been a priority to the check signers.Quote:

Anyone halfway decent should leave while they have a chance.
Train wreck in Ruston is not good
4th down - run up to the line and run sneak. Don’t change players and run a stupid sweep play
4th and a foot and we can’t line up and run straight ahead.
Toss sweep on 4th and 1. Always a solid play call.
Agreed.Quote:

Cumbie joins Beightol and Torbush in the Tech coaching hall of shame.
Did they ever lose to a 1-8 team? This is special indeedQuote:

AD Wood & Cumbie aren’t qualified for the jobs they have. It’s that simple. Tech will be taking applications soon. They have to.
Anybody watching on ESPN+ is the audio way behind the video for you, too?
Yes, all of a suddenQuote:

This is the worst coached Tech team I've ever seen.
Snap infractions. Attitude related penalties. Simple game plan and still can’t execute. You are right.Quote:

I’m so glad that Tech is doing its part in taking one for the team and letting a poor FCS call up get their first notch in their belt.
One day we'll be able to say we lived through the Sonny Cumbie years.
I hope all the just play Hank folks are happy.
In fairness, there was no way we could have guessed we didn't have a single football player on the teamQuote:

Wow, Tech sucks! If they don’t fire Cumbie they should at least force him to hire all new assistants.
In all it one of those we made a bowl game.Quote:

Who the hell would want to totally screw up their career prospects by going to work for Cumbie ??Quote:

The Tech game last night was the worst display I've seen in a long time!!! Even Terry Bradshaw should be embarrassed if he is asked about that game!!
Maybe A&M could loan us some money for the Crummy buyout. Surely they wouldn’t miss a couple million when they just paid Dumbo a lottery to get rid of him
Any visuals of the homecoming crowd captured?
Sorry I couldn't be there to document it for you. I was busy cheering my boy's team to a 11-0 season and #1 seed in their 7-team super regional of the 28-team Division 2 playoffs (to go with a #2 national ranking). #HardingBisons
Anybody wanna guess who won the very first NCAA D2 title?
Amazingly there was a really good crowd for Homecoming, considering our season and the attendance so far this year. Arguably the best crowd of the year if you ask me. Too bad we wet the bed vs Sam Houston.
