    Did You Notice How Close UTSA Played Arizona State?

    Arizona State that put up 68 on Texas Tech last week was pushed to the limit before winning 32-28 over UTSA. I am feeling better and better about our game with TT tonight! I'm looking for our defense to do very well while our offense puts up lots of points! Go Dawgs!

    LA Tech should win tonight against Texas Tech. But we gotta keep Mahomes in the box. If he gets outside the pocket, it's going to be big trouble in Lubbock.

    We need to be able to run the ball effectively to win. We won't beat them in an air it out first one to 60 game. Looking at their defense it shouldn't be that hard to have an effective ground game.

    Re: Did You Notice How Close UTSA Played Arizona State?

    I wonder if our AD, when negotiating these great contracts, has ever insisting on using non-homer refs. He allowed Arkansas to renegotiate the contract, but kept the SEC refs. TXTech needed us for a home game so not only did we only net around $200K (if any) to play a Big12 on the road we used Big12 refs.

    Maybe he needs to call Jim Oakes for some negotiation pointers. Jim didn't always settle for homer refs on the road.

    Other than Gramling as a road game in Shreveport, Texas Tech in Lubbock may go down as THE worst deal ever for us.

    As with most new trends, that will be the last one to hit Ruston.

    We were better off sticking with our contract with TX A&M. Why we paid them $500,000 to not play there last night just boggles the mind.

    Not to let facts get in the way of bashing T-Mac.... The A&M game was a return game from the contract where they came to Shreveport. They were to pay us $200m to cover travel. We paid them $500M to cancel the game and Texas Tech gave us $800M to come to Lubbock. A net profit of $100M. This was coming off of the 2014 season where A&M went 8-5 and Texas Tech was 4-8. So more money for a lesser opponent.

    Not that the facts matter to some people.

    +1. It's popular around here to shit on TMac for simply existing. At the time this deal was made, it was a good call.

    Just stating the facts. He allowed the game to be moved from LR to Fayetteville, but never gave an explanation. He moved a game from College Station to Lubbock. He had leverage in both negotiations, but we got SEC and Big12 refs. That's not bashing him unless you enjoy getting bad calls on the road.
