One of the all time great song writers. Another hero gone.

That is all I know

On track for another 1,000 passing and another 200 rushing.

Finished last yr with 2,900 yds passing and 2,100 yds rushing.

Joey McGuire's home record is 12-3. Let's make it 13-3 next week. Need a good crowd. Lots of tickets still available. Lets make it a sell out.

UPDATE: Joey McGuire's home is now 14-3! Let's make it 15-3 in a couple weeks.

From deep in the heart of Bearcat country, we brought this cake for the game. I'm sporting a nice Texas Tech hoodie in a sea of UC alum. @Used2BScooterTX

My boss is a big Cincy booster and was on the chartered plane with their AD for the game. Jonathan Botros led them on a tour of both Womble’s, the USA, and all the parts of the Jones. My boss said they were all blown away at the hospitality of Botros, especially considering it was a game day, and of course the facilities. Way to show off the university we all love!

@Robert G

I’m TTU ‘92. My wife is UC ‘98.

Looking for ideas for a friendly wager.

Already proposed that if Tech wins, she swallows. Not sure what the UC victory payoff would be in that scenario, though.

Begging for a targeting call is one of the weakest things you can do on a football field. The Football Gods ™️ had our backs on that field goal gents.

Blames Cincinnati injuries on players getting hit with tortillas around the 3:35 mark.

Why did that 10 second run off occur? I looked through the game thread again, maybe I missed the reason.

Their QB slides and gets tackled.
Official throws a flag.
Official goes to replay.
Official determines there is no penalty.
Official runs 10 second off the clock.

Nobody called timeout. Both teams had timeouts.

I don't get it. I see calls overturned by replay all the time with no clock run off, in fact that's what happens 99% of the time.

So clearly some rule was broken, but the ball didn't get moved and the down didn't change back. Also nobody complained about the run off, so clearly I'm the only person on Earth who doesn't understand it.

LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech Athletics will debut a new public address announcer inside Jones AT&T Stadium this season as longtime stadium voice Curtis Parrish will step down after 24 years in the position.

"After almost 25 years as the Jones AT&T Stadium announcer, it is time to step away from the microphone to focus on my commitment to my growing family and my service as the Lubbock County Judge," Parrish said. "It has been my honor to be a part of Texas Tech Football for the last quarter of a century, and I look forward to cheering on Coach McGuire and our Red Raiders now and in the future."

Parrish, who serves as the Lubbock County Judge, will be recognized on the field this season for his 20-plus years of service not only in Jones AT&T Stadium but also at the John Walker Soccer Complex since its opening as well as in fill-in roles at many of Texas Tech's events during that time.

"We'd like to thank Curtis Parrish for his many years of service as our public address announcer," Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt said. "He has been behind the mic for many of our most-memorable moments in our history, and we are forever grateful for the impact he has made on the gameday atmosphere inside Jones AT&T Stadium during his tenure as our stadium voice."

Kickoff between Texas Tech and Abilene Christian is slated for 6:30 p.m. Saturday night inside Jones AT&T Stadium.

The rest of yall can suck it! Cincy was much better than expected! Great win at home!!! LFG!

Might want to tune in to this game.

My initial takeaways from the game tonight. Hats off to both sides of the ball. Full thoughts coming tomorrow. Enjoy this win, Red Raiders.

4-1 overall
4-0 at home
2-0 in conference

That's what is pretty cool.

Joey has certainly resurrected the Jones being a tough place to play. Only 3 losses total in Lubbock at almost the half way point of year 3.
14-3 is stellar.

But, as he’s said as much himself, to really get over the hump in turning this program around, they’re gonna have to learn how to win in unfriendly environments. It’s been the exact opposite on the road. 3-9…

They’ve made it a point of emphasis this offseason and in fall camp
From Joey in July:
“If you’re going to win games on the road, you’ve got to be a tough football team,” said McGuire during Tuesday’s Big 12 Media Days session at Alegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. “If you’re going to win games in November and December, you’ve got to be a tough football team. We’re growing. We’re trending in that direction, but we have not been tough enough to win games on the road. That’s been one of our biggest Achilles' heels. But if we’re going to be in the mix and if we’re going to be talked about at the end of the year and playing in the Big 12 championship, we’ve got to go to Iowa State, we’ve got to go to TCU and we’ve got to Oklahoma State and we’ve got to find a way to win games on the road.”

If this program is ever gonna be a contender, then it’s gotta get dubs on the road. Pretty simple.

Guess what? We are headed to Tucson this week to play a Wildcat team that just got a massive road dub vs Utah. 😬 Late AF kick too vs what may be a ranked opponent by next week.

I’ll say this though, only 3 of those road losses were real beatings. In fact, you only got beat by 13 or less in 7 of those 12 road games. You’ve often been right there in the game as the visiting squad, but can’t quite seem to close the gap.

But again if you wanna be a contender, gotta start turning that 3-9 record around somewhere… headed to AZ this week.

Happy we got a win, but I still don't know what to make of this team yet.

Looking around the Big 12 after Week 5. What are yalls thoughts? Have your expectations changed?

Big one tonight here at Jones AT&T Stadium. Let's get this going.

Login to view embedded media

Defense:

- The defense is what it is. It's just not going to be a good defense this season.

- Can't rush the passer.

- Secondary is going to struggle.

- Looks like we will be solid in stopping the run.

Offense:

- The offense will continue to be inconsistent. Inconsistent play calling, inconsistent performance.

- WRs are generally good but will have some drops it appears.

- Tahj is a badass.

- Offense line is decent at run blocking and will struggle all season in pass pro.

Every game will be close.

Heat wave back in Arizona now for at least one more week. Although dry heat still pretty uncomfortable.

Great crowd and TV guys really showed the full stadium.
