Texas Tech Baseball Red & Black Series
Alright, Tech has three of five games down so far, and the Black team is up two games to one. I have been able to make it to two of the three games, and put together some boxscores and stats thanks to my experiences this summer. Game 1 Boxscore Game 3 Boxscore Rough Stats
Absolutely Obknoxious talks Heisman
So, I figure I need to write, and what better topic than the Heisman Trophy. Recently, this trophy has been a stalwart for the best player on the BCS runner-up. Basically, it’s either the Heisman or a BCS Championship. We are almost halfway into the 2009 season, so there isn’t a better time to start [...]
Notes from Tech Baseball Scrimmage 10/9/09
I made it to 5.5 innings of today’s scrimmage… Bobby Doran, Chad Bettis, Brett Bruening, Jordan Stern and Jay Johnson (I think) pitched. Doran was throwing fairly hard, as was Bettis (high 80′s), but Bruening had the best stuff, topping out at 94 in his 1st inning. One team consisted of: C- Whitehead, 1B- Von [...]

New Mexico game tidbits…
After rewatching the game, here are some notes… One of the problems with Potts is his throwing motion. I’m not even through three drives yet, and I’m already noticing that he throws the ball a lot like Vince Young does. Throwing a football side-armed takes away a lot of the power behind a throw since [...]
Once upon a time in Lubbock, a Texas Tech vs. New Mexico narrative…
I opened my eyes at 8:21 yesterday morning. I don’t get up this early or easily for school, yet the deep seated excitement for another day of tailgating and football was enough resistance to keep my eye lids from shutting again. A quick shower and the donning of my faithful red TEXAS TECH shirt was [...]

A day late, sorry. 2009 Week 5
UPDATED: Texas Tech “Blackout” scheduled for Oklahoma game
Everyone remembers how successful last year’s blackout was, right? #1 Texas and their fans came to town on the 1st of November, and left with an intense hatred of all things Texas Tech. This year, the opponent and ranking has changed, but the intensity that was displayed by the sold out crowd shouldn’t. The same [...]
NCAA TV Schedule, Week 4
Some juicy looking bets this week. Utah hasn’t covered this season, and Texas A&M/UAB is not going to be a defensive battle. 2009 Week 4
Tom Walker hates Texas Tech quarterbacks
I’m not always going to use this as an open forum to complain about the horrid Big 12 refs, but Tom Walker needs to go back to referee school. For the second time in 3 years, Walker fails to protect a Texas Tech quarterback from an illegal hit. It almost seems like he is either [...]
Absolutely Obknoxious’ Big 12 Power Rankings: Week 3
After 3 weeks, it seems that the rankings are finally settling down from week 1… 1. Texas Last week: 1 (Even) Texas beat Texas Tech in Austin, but not the mud hole some Longhorn fans predicted. The 34-24 win kept Texas at the top of the poll, but the margin they held narrowed. Colt McCoy’s [...]
Tech 1, Texas 0
Watching Gameday on ESPN. Not much cleverness out there in terms of signs. I see at least 3 people with “academic smack” at a football game. That’s the real big indicator of insecurity. Very quiet crowd. By and large, the signs I saw at Gameday last year in Lubbock destroy the ones I’m seeing this [...]
Why so serious, Texas? Friday rant corner
I’ve been avoiding writing anything about this game all week. I don’t know if it is because I don’t want to jinx anything, or because every year I lose more and more respect for the Texas fanbase and wish that this week didn’t exist. Either way, I’ve finally reached a “boiling point” on this subject. [...]

Tuesday Rant Corner
Last night I remembered why I’m not an NFL fan: the league is too scared of players getting hurt. I’m sick and tired of the NFL limiting the ways in which a defender can hit or tackle an opposing player. It seems like the path the rules committee is on is only leading to a [...]
