AnTiFUh was a complete and total fabrication.

Good Lord.

If you’re too much of a snowflake to read this article, which contains a link to a damming DHS report in which 80 officials were interviewed (no doubt, a deep state conspiracy) here is the tl;dr:

Trump invented aNtiFuH as an imaginary terrorist organization, and then installed goons to illegally arrest and collect information on Americans who were “allegedly” tied to an imaginary “group” that never existed and pushed to define it as an official terrorist organization.

This is authoritarianism 101.

anTiFUh might be an even more successful con job than a sToLin eReKsHUn.

You have been lied to over and over and over again.

===

“DHS analysts recounted orders to generate evidence of financial ties between protesters in custody; an effort that, had they not failed, would have seemingly served to legitimize President Trump’s false claims about “Antifa,” an “organization” that even his most loyal intelligence officers failed to drum up proof ever existed.

The DHS report offers a full accounting of the intelligence activities happening behind the scenes of officers’ protest containment; “twisted efforts,” Wyden said, of Trump administration officials promoting “baseless conspiracy theories” to manufacture of a domestic terrorist threat for the president’s “political gain.”

Still a thing, or nah?

TTU RECRUITING THIS WEEK

no new commitments this week, a handful of new 2024 and 2025 offers made this week...

https://n.rivals.com/content/athletes/joseph-dodds-300010

Tidehaven (Texas) 2024 running back Joseph Dodds announced an offer from the Red Raiders this week, his first offer.

Located in El Maton, Texas...Doods has limited stats available online, but seems to follow the track standout and football standout prospect profile the coaches like to follow.

https://n.rivals.com/content/athletes/nate-roberts-295891

Washington (Oklahoma) 2025 tight end Nate Roberts announced an offer from the Red Raiders this past weekend.

The 6-foot-4, 215-pound underclassmen already holds seven (7) early offers, including offers from Oklahoma, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, Baylor another others.

https://n.rivals.com/content/athletes/michael-riles-299343

Port Arthur Memorial (Texas) 2025 defensive end Michael Riles announced an offer from the Red Raiders earlier this week.

The 6-foot-5, 235-pound sophomore now holds early offers from Texas Tech and Incarnate Word.

----------

WHAT HAD HAPPENED WAS...

The year was 2007, the No. 24 Red Raiders hosted the No. 16 Missouri Tigers...Graham Harrell throws four (4) interceptions at home and Texas Tech proceeds to lose 41-10 at home.

In many ways, the game against Baylor played out very similarly last weekend. Five (5) interceptions from Morton, Smith and Shough...an offense that struggled to move the football consistently.

Morton is young, these games are going to happen...the Smith and Shough interceptions were questionable, with Smith staying in after a 4th down conversion and immediately throwing a pick over the middle on 1st down and Shough throwing a pick six on his very first attempt. Maybe Shough wasn't ready, we can question the Smith in or out of the game...but the buck stops with Morton, as the offense seemed 'off' from the opening snaps.

There were missed throws, there were forced throws...the running game was absent for most of the first half...there were just no answers on offense for the Red Raiders.

Credit goes to Dave Aranda and his Baylor defense who did a lot to confuse the inexperienced Morton.

The talent is there and one game does not define a career, hence the reference to one of Harrell's worst performances as a Red Raider...but in order to finally win on the road this season, in order to become bowl eligible and finish the season strong...Morton has to be better, the offense has to be better.

Outside of any of the storylines going into the game, the result was simply bad...then you consider the Joey McGuire storylines, the sell-out crowd, the night game in The Jones and it makes it even worse.

----------

THE TCU MATCHUP IS HERE

After an off-season full of cactus talk, cactus schtick and our own RRS bretheren delivering a whole stack of cacti to the TCU coach responsible for calling Lubbock a desert...the matchup against TCU is finally here.

The game kicks off tomorrow at 11am in Fort Worth. The Horned Frogs are undefeated, their head coach is Sonny Dykes - the son of former TTU head coach and Lubbock legend Spyke Dykes.

Another week, another game dripping with storylines...more importantly, in the 'new Big 12' - beating teams like TCU in the conference becomes increasingly important.

The Tech offense will have to score points because this TCU offense is going to move the ball and score. Wild things happen at 11am and the Red Raiders certainly have a puncher's chance in this one, but not the team who showed up last weekend...this team has to flush the memories from last Saturday and come out as the spoiler in Fort Worth.

I'm ordering a tall glass of the running game, I'm begging for Kittley and the Texas Tech offense to establish the run tomorrow...the TCU rush defense ranks No. 66 in the nation and is allowing just under 150 yards per game this season. There are big chunk plays available in the run game and those can lead to a lot more openings in the passing game for Morton.

This game is not 'do or die' by any means, but back to back losses to Baylor and TCU will make finishing the season with a winning record very tough for this Texas Tech team.

----------

BIG 12 POWER RANKINGS




the Horned Frogs survived another week undefeated and remain at the top of the Big 12 Power Rankings...

1. TCU

The Horned Frogs had the 11am game on the road in Morgantown and played a close game against the Mountaineers, but eventually pulled away and won 41-31 late in the game. The TCU offense moved the ball well and scored points, the TCU defense made plays when they needed to and gave up 31 points to a team who struggles on offense. In a sport where the only stat that really matters is winning the game, this TCU team is continuing their success on a weekly basis by just figuring out ways to win games in a variety of ways. They face your Red Raiders at home this week at 11am, then finish the season with games @Texas, @Baylor and Iowa State.

2. Kansas State

The now No. 13 Wildcats destroyed Oklahoma State 48-0 last weekend, a result that nobody saw coming. Kansas State played with a backup quarterback at home and thoroughly beat the Cowboys in every facet of the game last Saturday. The fun does not stop this week, the Wildcats host the Texas Longhorns tomorrow night at 6pm for another big home game. They finish the season with games @Baylor, @West Virginia and Kansas.

3. Oklahoma State

The now No. 18 Cowboys were dismantled last weekend in Morgantown, as discussed above. This Oklahoma State team was the top ranked team only two weeks ago, but a brutal three-game stretch against TCU, Texas and Kansas State was too much. The good news is that they get to travel to Kansas for a matchup against the reeling Jayhawks this weekend and have an opportunity to put 48-0 behind them. They finish the season with games against Iowa State, @Oklahoma and West Virginia.

4. Texas

The Longhorns are coming off the bye week and travel to Morgantown for a matchup against Kansas State. This Wildcats team has momentum coming off a big win against Oklahoma State, but does the bye week help Texas come back strong tomorrow? I think this one is a knock down, drag out fight with both teams going strength against strength here. Texas absolutely needs this game to stay in contention for the conference title and a win gets the Lonhorns to bowl eligibility. They finish the season with games against TCU, @Kansas and Baylor.

5. Baylor

The Bears went on the road and beat your Red Raiders 45-17 last weekend. Now 5-3 on the season, Baylor has a chance to become bowl eligible and stay in contention for the conference title with another road game against Oklahoma this weekend at 2pm. The Bears will challenge an average to below average Oklahoma defense and will need another big day from their defense on the road against the Sooners' offense. They finish the season with games against Kansas State, TCU and @Texas.

6. Oklahoma

The Sooners won on the road against Iowa State last weekend 27-13, a good win but probably a misleading result. The Cyclones cannot score this season and 27 points on offense does not jump off the page. Oklahoma hosts Baylor this weekend and will need more than 27 points to win against a sneaky good Bears defense. This game seems like it will tell us a lot about this Sooners team, a home game and a 'must win' game relative to the overall schedule. They finish with games against @West Virginia, Oklahoma State and @Texas Tech.

7. Texas Tech

The Red Raiders dropped a home game to Baylor last weekend, moving to 2-3 in conference play and 4-4 on the season. The offense struggled and turned the ball over five (5) times against Baylor, and things only get tougher with a road game against undefeated TCU tomorrow at 11am. The Horned Frogs offense moves fast and scores a lot of points, so the Tech offense needs to score and the Tech defense needs to come up with turnovers in order for the Red Raiders to win. They finish the season with games against Kansas, @Iowa State and Oklahoma.

8. Kansas

The Jayhawks are coming off a much needed bye week. Kansas started the season strong, climbing into the Top 25 only to lose their last three (3) games since their starting quarterback went down with an injury. Things are never easy in the Big 12 conference and the Jayhawks now host the No. 18 Oklahoma State Cowboys this weekend. The Cowboys were thumped 48-0 by Kansas State, so they are either pissed off and want to win badly...or they continue to play poorly and Kansas has a shot to upset at home. They finish the season with games against @Texas Tech, Texas and @Kansas State.

9. West Virginia

The Mountaineers put up a good fight at home, but ultimately lost to the undefeated Horned Frogs last weekend. West Virginia has a chance to rebound this weekend on the road against Iowa State. The Mountaineers should be able to win on the road by scoring 21-24 points, because the Cyclones cannot score points on offense this season. That being said, Iowa State is always a tough road game and anything can happen. They finish the season with games against Oklahoma, Kansas State and @Oklahoma State.

10. Iowa State

The Cyclones dropped a home game to Oklahoma last weekend, scoring 13 points. Scoring on offense has been an issue all season long for this Iowa State team. They host West Virginia this weekend and have a chance to get into the win column, but only if they can stop the Mountaineers on defense and come up with points off turnovers...because the offense is not getting it done. They finish the season with games against @Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and @TCU.

have a great weekend everyone!

If you look at the current standings had we won the last two weeks we would be in position to play in the big 12 championship

😢

Just wondering where all the "TrUsT tHe CoAcHeS!!!" people are at now. You guys spent the first few weeks of the season ripping apart anyone that questioned coaching decisions and would mock everyone with "Well I didn't realize that you know more than the coaches?!?" style of comments trying to shame them for having an actual opinion that they formed on their own. Where you guys at now after that embarrassing collapse against Baylor at home, and now this embarrassing collapse against TCU?

We are still a shitty program that gets worse as the season progresses. McGuire is a more likable Wells.

Oh and Kirby still can’t hire a football coach

Remember when we would have exciting returns? I do. Who do we have to hire?

It seems right now that we are focusing on 3 QBs. Here are the stats (according to max preps) on all 3 targets. Curious which kid you want and why

another example of good coaching. They were not good to start the season. now, they are really good. Thanks Kirby for ****ing us once again. it’s time for ur sorry ass to go. u have killed our football program. congrats

Not going to make the Kansas game next week and looking to sell our North Endzone club seats. If you haven’t sat there in the before it has its own box with 4 chairs outside and access to the north club suite inside. Buffet for the first half and free beverages, short beer lines. Inbox me if interested.

Kickoff is 45 mins away. @B. Soliz is there for us. Follow along!

Kittley called the perfect first half against TCU and then instead of going to Smith and continue pounding the ball (when Morten went down), he decides to play the loser QB (Tyler S), makes us one dimensional again, and blows the game!

He had two possessions where the defense gives us the ball around midfield up by 4 and decides to throw a number of stupid go routes and doesn’t move the chains…run the stupid ball you pansy OC!

Versus bringing in Smith and pounding the ball.

We will never win jack with this flag football, pass happy loser OC.

If CJM doesn’t fire him this year, we will never compete!

Answer: Where we can ignore them.

This coaching staff is a negative factor. Make no bones about it. McGuire is allowing it to happen and a key contributor

Special teams has been shit and Kittley has been a pee wee joke.

As much as I wanted to believe I think there are way too many red flags up to this point.

BU, KSU, OSU, ISU, TCU all have one thing in common that Tech does not. Either the coaching continuity or a cultural identity, crafted over the last ten to twenty years, that allows them all to enjoy the fruits of long-standing quality depth. Tech has had the exact opposite for over a decade.

None of those programs are blue bloods, but all of them have stuck to a plan for a while. It's why they have serviceable line depth on both sides of the ball. It's why they commit so many fewer penalties. It's why they don't tire in the second half. It seems to me that you don't have to be elite with Top 25 recruiting classes every year to beat an adrift program regularly. Dykes and Aranda inherited 2 complete rosters with lots of depth. OSU has been program building for decades. ISU has a lifetime coach. KSU has a transcendent culture in place.

This was never going to turn around in 1 season, and it won't be that much better next year. Everyone knows this, but still gets sucked in. IMO, this needs to be the deal where the current coach is just left to do his thing for years and years with some acceptance and resignation. There isn't any other way to build an O-Line or D-Line that has the level of depth these other teams have. Maybe you get one or two servicable linemen from the portal, but honestly probably not. Tyrees don't grow on trees.

JMO

I think Texas wins, but Ewers better have his disability insurance premium paid up.

—————————————————————

What are the chances that is the makeup of the Playoff? I can see it. Clemson losing today might open the door of that.
A ) I am hoping that TCU drops a couple of games . A bunch Dirty POS lucky sob ( yes still pissed)
B) OSU and Michigan rolling that is going to be a good loss if close.
C) at least 2 between Georgia, UT or bama could be in from the SEC

Irish destroying Clemson 28-0. Irish defense has been insane tonight.

LSU up on Bama currently. But could break either way.

Tennessee lost convincingly

TCU may be Top 4 next week

silver lining: I think the Frogs lose the next 2 games in Austin and in Waco

donovan smith has been a disaster outside of a handful of plays each game

worst tech offensive line in generations

wide receivers hands have been costly all year

really didn’t expect this unit to be such a problem this year

@SARaider19

Still alive?

Some of our fan base will never open up to analytics. Yes, it cost us today, but it also has kept us in every game and gave us a win over ut.
