Looking for 3 tickets for the game Saturday (preferably on the west side)

Talked with Anwar to get some clarity on the Longhorns situation ahead of tomorrow.

Anyone from Austin area coming to Lubbock that hasn’t left yet? Huge, but easy favor needed.

Stubhub just gave me an absolute screwing. By chance, would anyone have a parking pass I can buy for tomorrow?

I’ll be attending my first game at the jones since 2007, ending a 15 year drought. (I’ve been to plenty other Tech games, just not at home)

After college, I moved to Michigan, so when I make it back to Texas it’s always to visit family.

This time, my family is meeting me in Lubbock! I’m so giddy I can hardly stand it. I fly out of Detroit this evening around 7:30 and finally touch down in LBK at 11:30pm.

Anyone else ending a drought?

No longer available


$300 for the pair.

They are paper tickets so will have to meet in Lubbock tomorrow prior to the game unless you live in Midland. Not entirely sure when I'll be getting into town as it depends on whether my son has practice in the morning.

*Edit
Please no Longhorn fans

Sorry if buried somewhere....has Big 12 office confirmed Overshown is ineligible 1st half on Saturday because of flag last weekend?

FYI from tonight…

“Sarkisian did not reveal who would start against Texas Tech, but it appears Card will have another opportunity.

Multiple sources told Orangebloods that Card received first-team reps during practice this week and is expected to start on Saturday. Sarkisian said Ewers would travel to Lubbock and suit up. However, Ewers was in uniform this past week when Texas hosted UTSA and never played.

I was told the target date for Ewers to return remains October 8 against Oklahoma. Ewers was expected to miss four to six weeks after sustaining the injury against Alabama. If Ewers returns against Oklahoma, that would mark four weeks.

There is optimism Ewers could return next week and face West Virginia at home. Ewers’ recovery appears to be going well and he has not sustained any setbacks.

Nevertheless, Ewers has been sore after practice this week, and nobody within the building is willing to put the redshirt freshman back on the football field until he has recovered. They believe Texas has an opportunity to win every game Ewers plays this year and nobody wants to risk his long-term health.

Unless there is a dramatic change before Saturday, Card will receive another opportunity to start for the Longhorns.”

Section 3, row 16, seats 13 and 14. West siiiide. Must take and use the pair.

All I ask is that you use them. Don't sell them, don't give them away, just use them and enjoy.

Reply here so everyone knows it's on the up and up, then send me contact info here or in DM. I have screenshots that are probably easiest to use, but also have them in my google wallet if you want to go that route.

@WhitlocksSafety I know you already have tickets or I would have asked you directly.

Needing just one ticket to the game tomorrow if anyone has an extra single that they are trying to unload. Can confirm that I will stay whole game and be very loud.

Tamed down version of what I have said in the heat of the moment when a Tech player screws up. That being said I know we have our challenges for various reasons, but earn your scholarship.

What is Don's suggestion to save the UT game going forward?

Not Big 12, not NCAA, but WORLD!!!! This is huge and so special as I love seeing our Men's Golf team continue to do things that never happened before.

Let's all be so proud of the lads and wish them well.

To qualify for this next event the guys played five rounds and the top two were 24 and 19 under par. Four rounds at Lubbock CC and one round at the Rawls (after aerification). This is like never before and as a former player I am blown away and so proud of this program and what Coach Sands is doing!!!

Other Big 12 Games

Iowa State -3 v. Baylor. 11am kickoff in Ames. Those give me the willies, for sure. Iowa State fans are amazing, too. I'm jealous. They won't give a rat's ass that the game is early. There will be a packed house and everyone will be losing their shit.

I was mildly surprised by this line opening around Iowa State -1 and even more surprised when it moved to ISU -3. This is the third week in a row where the line has moved hard against Baylor (take note of that.. someone that's smart and/or bets big thinks Baylor is overrated).

Baylor's QB (Blake Shapen) has really not been allowed to cut it loose thus far on the season. Just 33 for 54 against FBS teams this year for 321 yards, 2 TD, and 1 interception. His average depth of target against BYU was less than 7 yards.

Baylor's defense looks for real, though. They are top 40 in points per drive & yards per play allowed. That Samoan NT is a mountain of a man. Their secondary (led by Devin Lemear, Devin Neal, and Al Walcott) looks nasty.

Iowa State is probably the team I knew the least about going into the season. I don't think they have played a particularly strong schedule from an offenses-faced standpoint (Iowa & Ohio), but ISU's defense has been extremely stingy. 8th in the country in points per drive allowed & 4th in the country in yards per play allowed.

Baylor was a trendy pick to be the best team in the Big 12 over the summer. I wasn't really expecting them to be an underdog in half of their first 4 games (although they are catching two of the best road environments any Big 12 team has played in). I have no idea what to expect in this one. We should learn a lot about both teams. I'm rooting for Baylor to start out 2-2, that's for sure.


Kansas -7.5 v. Duke. This has to be the biggest favorite spot for Kansas over a P5 team in a long, long time. I remember in 2019, when we lost to Kansas as small favorites (Tech -4 or so), it was one of the closest spreads for Kansas in over a decade. Now they are 7.5-point favorites, and it actually opened up around Kansas -10. I regret not betting Duke +10 earlier in the week. Duke looks solid -- 3-0 and have already won on the road this year as double-digit underdogs.

Kansas is definitely a problem, though. They have one of the best players in the conference on defense (Safety, Kenny Logan). Their offensive scheme is a curve ball in the big 12. It's got a lot of option stuff to it. It protected their OL a lot more v. UH's front compared to what we did. Against P5 teams (both on the road), Jalon Daniels is 32 for 52 passing, 377 yards, 6 TDs, no picks. He has over 200 yards rushing in those 2 games with another 2 TDs on the ground. Yeah -- they are a tad scary.

That said, Kansas is lighting up the scoreboard wayyy more than they should to this point. 500 yards v. Tenn Tech = 56 points. 420 yards against WVU = 55 points. 438 yards v. UH = 48 points. That's weird. Not sustainable points production based on the yards gained. They were actually out gained by both WVU and UH.

KU is a strange team. Seemingly really well coached. Part of me is actually rooting for a 4-0 Kansas. Not sure why, really.

WVU -1.5 at Virginia Tech. Man, this is not a good sign for Virginia Tech. A 1-2 WVU team that just lost at home to Kansas is favored in a weeknight (Thursday) game in Blacksburg? That's a terrible sign for their progrum.

WVU doesn't seem nearly as bad as people (or their fans) think right now. They have completely lost their defense, however, which is sort of what's carried them since the latter half of the Dana years (113th in points per drive allowed; 101st in yards allowed per play).

I do think WVU's offense has potential, though. But if they can't find a way to win this game... do we see another preemptive-strike firing on a football coach to prevent them from pulling off any wild upsets and saving their job? Neal's in deep trouble (despite being owed like $16 million, which is totally insane).


TCU -1.5 at SMU. Another game involving a Big 12 team that's essentially a coin flip (line at -3 or less). SMU was extremely competitive in a 27-34 loss on the road last week at Maryland (were outscored 0-14 in the 4th Quarter). TCU's QB situation is intriguing -- Tanner Mordecai might be the best one in that game. TCU is still probably the biggest mystery in the Big 12, having had a bye week and 2 games against FCS & the lifeless corpse of Colorado.

The return of Dykes to SMU gives this another interesting plot line. I don't know enough about either of these teams to really have an opinion, but SMU is playing at home, with a good QB, and they have actually been tested this year. TCU better show up....


Oklahoma -12 / -13 v. Kansas State. Nothing about this game interests me, so of course it's the Big 12's 7:00pm kickoff on FOX. Kansas State came crashing back to earth last week after losing to Tulane. Their offense looks pedestrian to say the least (less than 4.7 yards per play). They even won the turnover battle 2-0 and managed to lose at home as double-digit favorites. Meanwhile, OU looks like pretty vintage OU to me. I don't really have an opinion on this game, though. 13 is a lot of points...


Miscellaneous

Tennessee -10.5 v. Florida. Tennessee has only been favored against Florida 5 times since Peyton Manning's last year there in 1997 (only 3 times since 2004). The biggest line in that timeframe was Tennessee -5.5. This could really be the first time ever that Tenn. has been a double digit favorite in the matchup. People that think Donovan has a "processing issue" should watch Florida's QB. He doesn't have a TD pass yet this season and has thrown 4 picks (he's very athletic, though). Meanwhile, Tennessee looks quite good.

A&M -2 v. Arkansas (Arlington). A&M's won 9 out of the last 10 matchups here. Just owned the Hogs. To show how far the perception of these teams has changed through the first few weeks, I was seeing A&M -10 in this game over the summer. A&M has some injuries in their secondary and will have to deal with a 240+ pound QB that really wants to run people over. Arkansas' defense has had some issues so far, including last week against one of the best FCS teams in the country (it was also the return of Bobby Petrino to Fayetteville). But A&M's offense is from the stone age. I think Arkansas gets this one.


In fact, Arkansas +1.5 or better is the official Sideline Provisions "Banger"** of the Week. Not only do I like Arkansas here in general, it's going to be double the fun to root against A&M and, hopefully, watch them implode. Kudos to Sideline Provisions for sponsoring gambling content on this site. That's a big plus in my book in addition to having some of the best Tech gear out there. Personally, I can't wait until they have some XL fit imperial hats in their store. It's a shame mellon-headed people like me can't find Tech hats to wear, but that's about to change thanks to Sideline Provisions.





** Please bet responsibly. This bet probably has just a 50% chance of winning... so.... proceed with caution.

Looking for a SUV under 40k. Will travel to buy anywhere within 500 miles of DFW.

I like the Toyota Highlander. 2020 Limiteds look to be around this range, maybe a bit higher.

Any salesman here?

Any other recs for SUVs within this range?

Thanks and wreck em

Tickets are in Section 4, Seats 24 and 25. $600 for the pair.

DM me and I'll send you contact information, they are my brother-in-law's tickets.

I have 3 in my group that can't make it. Tickets on SeatGeek are in the $200s in this section. I'll do $150 per seat. Inbox me. Thanks

I'm going to do my best to drink as much water as I can process today. Tomorrow is going to be difficult and I'm thinking about foregoing alcohol tomorrow too. Should be a fun game. The last time Texas was here it was a Covid game. We damn near won that game if I remember correctly. Wreckem!

These are in section 116, row 35. They are paper tix that I have to pick up from the box office on Friday so you’ll have to meet me in person in Lubbock to get them. Willing to sell all or single tickets. $96 per ticket is what I paid so that’s what we’re asking.

We are heading back to Lubbock for the first time this weekend since 2006 with two other couples with a bunch of 6 yo However the last time we were there, none of were married, had no kids and gave no shits. Can someone give me the lowdown on how to do Lubbock game day with kids? Rented a house in Tech Terrace two blocks from all the houses we used to live in. Plan on throwing down. Input needed.

How long til he gets canned? I was so excited to watch WVU v VT tonight and was quickly reminded just how bad they are. Daniels can’t connect and the penalties are stacking as high as Kliff’s Texas Tech teams. Feels like it’s coming sooner than later…
