Trash Talk Thursday: Cincinnati
Cincinnati is coming to town for the first time, and for the first time these two meet as conferencemates. The battle of who wears Red and Black better is on. I could go on and on about Cincinnati’s lameness. From the entire disgusting concept of Skyline Chili, to the weather, to how bad the Bengals… read more

Texas Tech can assert itself in the Big 12 race with win
The Red Raiders started the year about as badly as possible. An ugly near loss to ACU, and then an ugly blowout defeat on the road in Pullman against Washington State. Now, the results following those performances have been a lot more as expected. A crushing victory over North Texas, and at times ugly but… read more

Defensive Player of the Week: The Front Seven
The defense performed at a high level, sans some miscommunications on the backend and the penalty bonanza. So choosing a true player of the week was a challenge. In the end, the simplest method is to take a short cut and cheat. This week our player of the week is the front seven. Taking on… read more

Red Raiders Ride Fast Start to defeat Arizona State
The game could not have started much better for Texas Tech. The opening drive was easy, with Morton and Tahj Brooks marching the offense down the field for a touchdown. An interception the next drive led to a Red Raider touchdown in short order. From there on, things got messy. Texas Tech began to sputter… read more

Joe and Jack get to have the fun job this week, recapping the absolute beatdown against North Texas. A game that was feeling a little nervy at 22-7, suddenly turned on a dime thanks to some heads up tip-drill play and the Mean Green implosion. You saw a lot of everything in this one, Tahj… read more

Offense shows out in first half, makes a statement after rough week against Wazzu

Texas Tech crushes North Texas, regains momentum
The Red Raiders entered last Saturday’s win without an identity, confidence, or any momentum. Against a North Texas team with plenty of those things, Texas Tech was desperate to prove this season is not already lost. And prove it they did, dominating the Eagles 66-21 in a game that was not even that close. A… read more

That game against Washington State was a cry for help as any I have ever seen. Poorly coached, undisciplined, and ill-prepared. You bet the guys went IN on the team in this episode. They talk about everything that went wrong, who is really to blame, and how could this thing get fixed. They even touch… read more
