As of yesterday, we are six months out from Election Day. Figure we need a new thread to bring in some new posters with some refreshing takes! Let's not run them off right way NYC and RRR, give them a chance to partake.

Who will win the worst Presidential Election in the history of our great nation?



Unless there is a serious slip up, not just one of his usual gaffes by Biden, I think he wins. I just don't see how Trump with his half a dozen trials he's in, wins.

Love to see it!!!

Watched Episode 6 last night - absolutely brutal.

Talk about going scorched earth

Who is TS going to knock off next? Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny?

Anyone else had to renew a plan lately? What rates are you seeing out there?

Don't want this to get political but trying to be proactive. With tariffs on the horizon, what should the average consumer buy now vs holding on for later in the year?

Maybe cars if you know you will be on the market? Electronics/TVs/Computers. Feels like those are the obvious ones. Anything else I should be thinking about?

Who would you like TTU to go after?

I know staff will have some in depth coverage but I loved his comments about defense today.
Go to the 6:05 Mark where he is asked about the depth of the defense and watch that cat who ate the canary smile.

The approval will make Caine, who required a presidential waiver to bypass the statutory qualifications for the job, the first chairman who has not previously been a four-star general or admiral.

Well, this is a surprise

I contacted the Daily Toreador for permission to use including paying for the rights to print their photo and my request was denied.

Does anyone happen to know of another outlet that may have a photo of that play?

I have a really cool idea to commemorate it.

Lubbock rep is in support. Some Lewisville hack calls out Cody for funding our programs.

Looking for a good spot for dinner tonight. It’s my wife and I’s anniversary and I don’t have anything nailed down. Staying at the Renaissance Hotel so anything within walking distance is preferable. Any spots that are a must try?

The Texas Tech Lady Raiders season has come to a close after a run to the WBIT quarterfinals finally gave fans a glimpse of what this roster had the potential to do but ultimately did not in the regular season. Now an offseason looms with questions of what changes will be made to improve the program. How much of the roster can return? How much will return? Will there be any staff changes? This opening post will be updated over time as news and activity happens so feel free to bookmark the page to check in as you wish. I will add future posts after this with potential portal targets that I will update along the way with folks I am keeping an eye on. However, this picture of need will become a lot more clear once we see what this roster looks like after end of year one-on-ones etc I assume will take place this week if they haven't already begun. While Kirby Hocutt has confirmed Krista Gerlich will return as the head coach, any potential new additions to the staff would also provide a cleaner picture too. As it stands they have two roster spots open. I do expect movement though to make that number more than two but will only update it in here once any official movement happens. A list of what is going on elsewhere around the Big 12 portal wise can be found at the end as well.

Someone mentioned this to me today that SMU is replacing the field at Ford with natural grass. I understand why we can’t but God I wish we had natural grass

Ludwig at minus 3 and has just driven the 12th in first round at The Sentry. T-11th.

If it’s already started, a thousand pardons.

Is this guy serious? NFL draft 😆

Fun fact...his first start at Tech was when my son was in fourth grade....he's a junior in high school this year.

Your starting point guard for Texas Tech Men’s Basketball year 2043 was born this morning at 8:27. Weighing in at 7lbs 12oz and 19 3/4” long. He will be one of those gym rat kind of players and he brings his lunch pail to work everyday. Mom and Harrison John are both in great health and his big sister and brother are thrilled. No more man to man defense for this family time to update our zone knowledge.

I'm making one thread for all the lawsuits and court cases against Trump administration. Also Trump Administration defying courts.

*Throw links or tweets all in this thread.*


"Planes carrying more than 200 Venezuelans deported by the US have landed in El Salvador, hours after a US judge ordered the Trump administration not to do so.

El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, wrote on social media that 238 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had arrived, along with 23 members of the international MS-13 gang, on Sunday morning.

Their arrival in the central American nation came after a federal judge blocked US President Donald Trump from invoking a centuries-old wartime law to justify the deportations - something Bukele made fun of in a later post.

"Oopsie... Too late," he said."

Spoke with Pulelei’ite - pronounced “poo-lay” - following his official visit over the weekend. Tech got their OL class kicked off with the commitment of JJ Mays and they’re a strong contender to land Primus as well.


Out here, it’s cheese or be cheesed.
Tailgates aren’t about finger food and folding chairs—they’re about smoke, swagger, and a game plan that includes seconds.
Their vibe is country club. Ours is cowboy boots, crushed cans, and cheddar that slaps.
Cheese belongs with the bold—and the bold wear scarlet and black.

Here. We. Go.

If you haven't read this yet, it's a good read. I think he is 100% correct on every facet.

A lot of us have our opinions on what the current landscape has done / is doing to our experience of enjoying college football and MBB. At Tech we've been fortunate that alums like CC and DW can provide funding to help us take advantage of the current situation while it lasts.

But the heart of Cody's write-up is talking about the bigger picture and what *should* be the most important consideration -- the half a million student athletes that aren't a JT Toppin or Nico Iamaleava. So far all the legislative initiatives don't seem to give a damn about student athletes at all. As of right now all we really have to show for this new world of college athletics is a gutted Pac 12, reimagined Big Ten and Big 12 conferences with teams flying cross country for games, and an SEC that seems to only be concerned with lining it's coffers with more money than anyone ever imagined necessary for college sports at the expense of everyone else (it's ironic that Nico Iamaleava's issue with an SEC school is what led to the article, and that an SEC school is actually the first one to cry 'uncle' getting strong armed by a player over money).

We no longer hear about or even care about student athletes actually going to class, probably because there is now basically no value placed on the free ride scholarships provide (which is sad because a full ride has definite value for an awful lot of students who aren't privileged to be athletes). If the athletes become employees with collective bargaining then college sports aren't really college sports anymore anyway, but a marketing arm of the university with paid employees who have little or nothing to do with the school other than collecting a paycheck. Their non-employee status has got to be preserved if anyone truly gives a damn about them getting degrees or about the vast majority of student athletes who play Olympic and women's sports continuing to have an opportunity to play.

My concern is that the people who end up having the most input are going to be the Greg Sankeys of the world who's main focus is having the deck stacked so heavily in their favor that the vast majority can no longer compete, or the others who stand to make a ton of money representing player unions or as agents. These aren't the folks who have the best interests of college sports or the student athletes in mind; they're just the ones who will benefit so much in the short term that they won't really care a little farther down the road when college sports is so screwed up it can't be fixed.

I'm hoping we can have an informational thread with no partisan commentary. Can we try again? I have no interest in being in the EEF.
