I thought of something else... refs who counsel players for penalties instead of throwing their flags and Holtz for allowing it.

I think the next time our team captains walk out on the field for the coin toss, they need to hand the ref a jar of vaseline and turn around and bend over.
I've got a peeve! It's called losing! It's called a coach with no spine! I'm sick and tired of not stepping on the opponent's throats and finishing the job! Sometimes when you have momentum and it's 4th and 2 inside the 10 you go for it and finish off the opponent in the 4th quarter! Grab your manhood skippy and finish the job!!!!
We still haven’t gathered that clock burning is not he answer. Let Barnes kick the FG at the end of the first half. Don’t hand off to Craft on 3rd and 8 when we know he averages 3 yards per carry. At least throw the ball to the sticks instead of behind them. Have a mean streak, or at least a little edge. Something!
BTW, that was a helluva effort by Barnes on that 64-yd FG attempt. Gave it a good ride. At first, I was like....no, coach throw a Hail Mary. It has a better chance of success and the FG might be blocked and run back....then I thought, well, actually, with Smith at QB, the FG was the better option because Smith is more likely to be sacked, fumble, and that be run back for a GW TD. And of course, Smith proceeds to prove me right by committing TWO turnovers on TWO OT possessions. Yes, technically the second one was on 4th down but it was still a fumble.

If you go back and watch the FG attempt, the snap was a little low and Barnes hesitated. Now, anything inside of 57-58 yards would have been good. I am not coming down on any of the guys. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a great effort. Without that hesitation, he might have gotten it there.
I think Barnes was pretty upset with Holtz for not letting him kick at the end of the half. He spent most of the halftime break kicking from the exact spot Holtz wouldn’t let him kick from.
I knew our sports peeps used LATech instead of LaTech, but I didn't realize our university as a whole used it. So wrong and such a poor branding effort.
All of Malcolm's double tweets. He simultaneously tweets the exact same thing from multiple accounts as if he's never seen a retweet button. It's annoying and amateur. He never even uses a colon to separate hours and minutes when typing out a time. His Lady Techster game update tweets are the worst. The other SIDs and marketing folks do a pretty good job with social media, but Malcolm shouldn't be let anywhere near the twitter machine. He just doesn't get it.
He's not alone....
Tech is like the perfect sucker for trick plays meanwhile they can’t even execute the simplest of a misdirection play.
Tech’s offensive creativity is non existent while the defense Is the ideal playbook dumby. It’s all a reflection of poor coaching and being unprepared.
What is grossly missing is ANY PLAYS AT ALL like these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awAq_7S08o0. Listen to then 30-year-old Offensive Coordinator Bryan Harsin explain each play in detail and why he called each one of them. Skip Holtz has no clue how to think and coach this way.
