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
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
Banking 101 with Mike Leach
This series of banking advice is played during each home game at Texas Tech. Mike Leach provides all in attendance with a little helpful information on matters related to money and banking… Rice game spot… and the North Dakota game…
Absolutely Obknoxious’ Big 12 Power Rankings: Week 2
Remember, these rankings begin in week 1, so there is no preseason basis to this at all. Every ranking is based on how the team has fared throughout the season. 1. Texas Last week: 1 (Even) Texas has the Big 12 top scoring offense at an even 50 ppg. They struggled mightily in the 1st [...]
Absolutely Obknoxious’ Big 12 Power Rankings: Week 1
So we are through an entire week of college football. The Big 12 managed to win 10 of 12 games (thanks Oklahoma and Colorado) on the weekend. This power ranking is based on in-season performance. I don’t care where someone was ranked in the preseason, I am only ranking them on how they have played, [...]
Texas Tech 38 North Dakota 13
It wasn’t the ideal game for the Red Raiders, but the main goal of victory was definitely accomplished. In what most people figured would be a blowout, the Red Raiders offense struggled to maintain long drives, while the defense had to work harder than usual to put down the uprising from the Sioux offense. While [...]
Preview: Texas Tech (0-0) vs. North Dakota (0-0)
At this moment, we are only 28 hours away from the seasons 1st kickoff for the Red Raiders! The opponent for the opening game in 2009 is from the ranks of the FCS (D1-AA), and traveling to Lubbock all the way from Grand Forks, North Dakota. That’s right, its the NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING SIOUX! I’m [...]
Wednesday’s Rant Corner
So I’m going to start a new tradition here on AO. Of course, not being an Aggie, I won’t be held to strict tradition standards like those found in College Station, so odds are this won’t be something I always do only on Wednesday and always once a week. In fact, I could possibly only [...]
Jaqwaylin Arps, we hardly knew thee
Well, it happens almost every year, to almost every team. You offer a kid a scholarship, he says yes, then decides there is someone out there who is a better fit. That previous sentence would sound better if I were female. Anyway, awkwardness aside, Arps broke up with Mike Leach yesterday so that he could [...]
Texas Tech beats out Oklahoma State for commit #18
For the third time this season, Texas Tech recruiters have gone into Oklahoma and landed a nice recruit. First it was OL Denton Simek, followed shortly by RB Delans Griffin. This time, Tech went for defense, grabbing CB Tre’Vante Porter away from the already defensive back-heavy Oklahoma State Cowboys. Porter marks the 10th Oklahoma prospect [...]
