USA Today: Deion Sanders Addresses Trash Thrown at Team During Win at Texas Tech

More nice PR from Tech all told from Colorado's perspective, not even mentioning the repeated missed Facemask non-calls that facilitated it. Even when UT got called out for this same stuff a couple weeks back at least their perspective was included. This just makes Tech fans look like they did it just to be jerks to Deion.

Indiana Football vs. Texas Tech Football

The lead question is this: Is a program rebuild a process or is it something that can happen overnight?

Let’s take the Indiana Hoosier football program historical results from 2020-2023
  • 2023 - 3-9
  • 2022 - 4-8
  • 2021 - 2-10
  • 2020 - 6-2
Right now, they’re 10-0 in the B1G, which is phenomenal. Granted, they play in the B1G that has 3 good teams (UO, tOSU, PSU) and the rest are middling at best with some awful sprinkled in for good measure. As we all know, they hired Curt Cignetti from JMU and that guy has won at every stop as a HC and also has an impressive resume as an assistant coach. IU took 23 (according to 24/7) incoming transfers in 2024, many of whom were from JMU but actually included our own Myles Price.

My point here is a rebuild can happen overnight in today’s college football environment. I honestly have a hard time believing, despite our very bad situation coming out of the Kliff/Wells era, that we were in worse shape than Indiana 3 years ago. It remains to be seen if the IU situation is sustainable.

Other questions:
  • Is their coaching superior to ours?
  • Is their talent evaluation superior to ours?
  • Are they a “one and done” because of their reliance on the portal and the “catch lightning” effect of the JMU transfers?
  • Do you rebuild every year or try to create continuity through development? Wondering here if a “mix of both” leaves you straddling a mediocrity fence?

STORY: Grading the Red Raiders: Tech pulls a stunner in Ames pres. by B-Run Sports


A couple notes:

- PFF listed Isaiah Collins with 2 defensive snaps played. Tech’s participation report also lists Isaiah Collins as having played in the game. I believe that was actually Johncarlos Miller II, who changed his # to 18 last week, which is the number Collins currently has on the official roster. I listed Miller II in the chart.

- PFF also reports Caleb Douglas and Jalin Conyers as having played 1 defensive snap each. Maybe on the last play of the game? I didn’t see it. I just left them out.

Been Meaning to Ask... Re: Colorado Game

So I want to know if anyone here was one of the crazy mofos near the top of 107. There was a group of 10-12 dudes that are normally not there (so I assume the season tix are not theirs) and they were bringing the noise the whole game. Yelled loud when we were on defense, so much so that it annoyed tf out of the Colorado fan sitting in front of them. It was pretty impressive. I want them to come back haha.

Anyone here from that group?

SIAP: Retro Bowl College

Got Retro Bowl college (free download) and have absolutely loved the game. It is the best mobile game imho for college. Was wondering if anyone else is playing it? Also they dropped the new update today with the playoff/new conference alignments.

Overall if you are new doing dynamic is a good way to start and then go to hard -> extreme. They also have retro bowl (NFL) and then Retro Bowl '25 (with NFL players in it, but you need apple arcade).

TTU QB Stats

Just wanted to look through the past few years and see how Behren compares with some other recent QB's. Not in any way just a Behren apologist thread, just was curious to dive into some stats and see what it looked like.

CAREER STATS at TTU

Behren
5,446 yds 43TD 20INT

Shough
2,922 yds 20TD 11INT

D. Smith
2,686 yds 19TD 10INT

H. Columbi
2,356 yds 13TD 9INT

Ageless Alan Bowman
5,260 yds 33TD 17INT

Jett Duffey
4,061 yds 26TD 11INT

Nic Shimonek
4,455yds 39TD 11INT

Mahomes
11,252yds 93TD 29INT


Overall, I think the offensive line issues have been the #1 bugaboo for our QB play/injuries for at least 10 years. Behren has done more than enough to manage this season and might be being asked to be something he's not with his average at best mobility behind this OL. He's managed this season as best he can. I'm sure there are several throws he wants back, and drops have been an issue as well.

TBH I'm all in on the ceiling for Will Hammond, I'm just not sure you want to toss him out there knowing your weaknesses up front. His mobility is a huge plus moving forward.

I would love to see Conyers utilized muuuuuch more in the passing game with Kelce'ish option routes to take advantage of aggressive defenses.

Hoop Thoughts: Texas Tech vs. Wyoming Preview

Game 3 of McCasland's second year should be a stiffer test than the first two games. Wyoming is by no means a "good" team or even a particularly dangerous one but they are still a MWC team and about 100 spots higher in most efficiency rankings than the first two squads Tech has played up to this point. While they are a lower tiered MWC team that is still a different caliber of team than low major SWAC and Southland teams. And the whole Jeff Linder deal brings an interesting angle to this game. This game shouldn't be a tight one but it should tell us a bit more about Tech.

Wyoming by the numbers:
  • 196th per Kenpom
    • 209th on offense
    • 187th on defense
  • 150th per T-Rank
    • 147th on offense
    • 171st on defense
  • 151st per Haslamtrics
    • 156th on offense
    • 124th on defense
  • 326th fastest tempo in the country
Player Summaries:
  • Obi Agbim - Guard, 6'3 180 - JUCO product in his 1st year at Wyoming from Ft. Lewis CC. Probably Wyoming's most dangerous scorer and might be the best guard Tech has faced up to this point. Adequate length but is thinly built. Has been scorching hot from the field to start this season. Very creative handle and footwork, and while Agbim is quick he is not going to blow by defenders but uses his ball skills and short area burst to create space. Has more of a set shot but gets it off quickly. Agbim is a threat to shoot off the catch and in transition off pull-ups. Craft in the midrange and has an effective pull up game. Will work in isolation and off of ball screens. Explosive when able to load up off 2 feet. Very successful and decorated JUCO player. Averaging 24.5 ppg, 4.5 apg, 2.5 rpg.
  • Jordan Nesbitt - Guard, 6'6 210 - Senior transfer from Hampton and former top 100 recruit for Memphis. Big and physical wing/guard. Has good physical tools and athleticism for his position. Will take the occasional jumper but is really looking to get downhill where he can utilize his physicality. Crafty passer in the interior. Historically a bad shooter and is only an "okay" finisher despite his athleticism. Plus, rebounder on both ends and can really go in transition. Defense waxes and wanes but can be impactful when locked in. Averaging 13 ppg, 11 rpg, 2.5 apg.
  • Kobe Newton - Guard, 6'2 180 - the rare returner for Wyoming and a rotation player last year. Decent size for a MWC guard and is solidly built but underwhelming athletically. Solid all-around player. Decent handle but Newton won't be breaking anyone down off of the dribble and is a solid playmaker. Very clean shooting stroke and will run off of actions/screens to get 3 point looks. Plays some off and on ball. Averaging 11 ppg, 4 apg, 4 rpg.
  • Dontaie Allen - Guard, 6'6 210 - Former Kentucky and WKU wing in his first year at Wyoming. Shooter. Struggling from the field so far this year but historically a dangerous shooter from deep. Exclusively a CnS/spot-up shooter. Has good size and a pretty shot. Not going to bring much to the table outside of shooting. Limited athletically. Averaging 4 ppg, 2 rpg.
  • Cole Henry/Toiku Tainma/Abou Mgassa - Make up the bulk of the front court rotation. Henry is an efficient big from UNI who has been a minor rotation player so far in his career. Below average athlete but skilled and a solid finisher and passer. 6'9, 240 and averaging 9.5 ppg and 5.5 rpg. Has a nice lefty push shot and likes to work from the high post. Tainmo is another offense first big who transferred in from Denver University. More of a stretch big than anyone else on the roster. Not a knockdown shooter but will shoot a couple per game out of ball screens as the "popping" big. Ground bound but is a good offensive rebounder. 6'9 220 and averaging 9.5 ppg and 3.5 prg. Magassa is a French RS Freshman who transfers in from SLU. According to the Wyoming HC Magassa is an extremely versatile defender and the most athletic of this trio. Is the energy guy off the bench and while raw is a solid shot blocker. 6'8, 215 and averaging 5.5 ppg, 5 rpg and .5 bpg.
X Factors:
  • Bully Inside - Tech has a marked advantage in the front court athletically and should be able to take advantage. JT Toppin should have a field day.
  • Finish Them - Darrion really struggled to finish against NW State inside. Would love to see him turn that around here.
  • No Slog - Tech's offense was disjointed, cramped and a bit of a slog during some points against NW State and Toppin frankly kept it from getting off the rails at times. Would love to see the spacing and movement get back on track tomorrow. And speaking of that...
  • Please be healthy - Tech needs it's lead guard back. Would love to see this team with Hawkins tomorrow.
  • Stop Penetration - So far this year Tech's guards haven't offered much resistance to opposing guards on defense. This needs to change ASAP.
