A recap of last night's College football game; Texas Longhorns vs Texas Tech Red Raiders.

[cweese]

That was a great game!

[bgill]

Any other bull worth his pedigree would have given Shipley another one for that stunt. And what the heck was that stoooopid segment of Shipley playing the guitar and singing? Major assault to the ears.

[DRey]

Yeah, and Texas was pooping their pants the entire game. No one -- not even the commentators -- could believe a) how we hung in there the ENTIRE GAME, and b) that it was a seven-point game for most of it. That revenge could not have been very sweet -- and that's all Tech was hoping for. I would be concerned if I were UT. They should have killed us. Top 10 team against an unranked and underfunded counterpart with a green quarterback and Tech's two best defensive players out? Be afraid for your season, UT. Be very afraid. And you're toast next year against Tech without your pet pony. And y'all know it. : D

Very telling game last night. GUNS UP RED RAIDERS!!!!!

[cweese]

Thanks for the howler, sport. Tech played a good game, but can’t ever manage to beat Mack Brown’s Horns in Austin.

[Raider Sam]

Im so impressed with Potts. 3 picks vs North Dakota just 2 weeks ago to almost pulling off the victory in Austin. Credit the Horns for solid players, especially the pass rush and secondary. The Big12 will be amazing this year.

I could be like a another Big 12 team’s fans and say that 3 of our 4 defensive ends were injured, and thats why we lost, but Texas was just better last night. Cant wait for the rest of the season.

Great game! I was pulling for Tech, but still a great game. Actually, two great games: The first half was a great defensive battle, and the second was a great offensive battle. Fun watch!

[eazdzit]

Too much bias by the officials.

Cheers :^)

Easy Does It

[dfwgator]

Texas and Florida on a collision course.

I saw parts of the game but this article fails to mention TTech kicking an onside kick (early in the third?) that failed leaving the Horns on their own fifty - they went on to at least a field goal if not a touchdown. Without that “call” TTech might have won the back and forth game? Good game though ... ;-)

Potts was amazing Saturday night. Spread the ball around, very composed and only 1 pick. The fumble, he was blindsided and the refs should of called a helmet to helmet hit. He way outplayed McCoy. I hope McCoy’s performance kills all the Heisman talk. Potts deserves the Heisman right now more than McCoy.

"can’t ever manage to beat Mack Brown’s Horns in Austin."

2011.

[cweese]

Sure, why not. Tech are 0-6 in Austin (in the Mack Brown era) so that’s entirely plausible.

[cweese]

"Potts deserves the Heisman right now more than McCoy"

Why? Colt has had better games than last night, and he's much better of an athlete than Potts. Let me know when Potts achieves 77% passing efficiency (for a season) or sets any NCAA records.

[DRey]

hahaha. That’s it? hahaha

[cweese]

Not sure what you expected?? Tech’s fans are sore losers, that’s one thing I’ve learned from you and the other Tech fans on this site.

[DRey]

bwahahaha

[csmusaret]

Tech fans aren’t sore losers. They just dread going back to Lubbock.

[cweese]

Be gone, troll!

[cweese]

Possibly. I’ve been to games in Lubbock when Texas has beat Tech, and their fans are among the worst sore-losers in the country. Lubbock is also one of the crappiest towns in Texas, that much is certain. That’s why it’s easy to dismiss the children like “DRey” for what they are.
