Horizon - Costner

Saw it this afternoon

Loved it - very solid production - totally held my interest and attention.

If you are a fan of the Yellowstone spinoffs you will likely really love it. There are several storylines in several locations being told simultaneously- thus it’s a three hour film that’s setting the stage for the three films yet to come.

Basically it’s like a new western spinoff series and this first film is equivalent of two, 90 minutes episodes.

KC has cast some recognizable actors including two prominent Yellowstone characters who had memorable roles for a couple of seasons each.

Beautiful western locations - great casting of secondary characters.

Its a Big 👍 from me

OT: Officially a Tech grad

Graduated with my bachelor’s degree today from Texas Tech, finishing in three years as the first in my family history to earn a four-year degree. Blessed to be spending the day around family in Albuquerque in lieu of walking at the USA and am excited to get back to Lubbock for grad school & the rest of fall camp tomorrow. Wreck em!

Offensive Stats and 2024

Just perusing some offensive stats stuff this morning (courtesy bcftoys.com) and looking at their offensive efficiency for Tech. Watched the 2015 KSU game in another thread and they talked about how many 1 and 2 minute touchdowns we had.

We've been spoiled by offense around here. And I kinda wanted to see how data reflected what my gut said...

So, starting 2007 - when they have data - OFEI rank (opponent-adjusted data representing the scoring advantage per possession a team would be expected to have on a neutral field against an average opponent, calculated from the results of non-garbage possessions in FBS vs. FBS games)

Year - rank

Leach
2007 - 5
2008 - 4
2009 - 22

Leach had his offense rolling by the time he was here several years...

Brown
2010 - 43
2011 - 20
2012 - 15 (Kliff had #1 offense this year - easy to see why we hired him)

Brown - not shabby IMHO, considering he was constrained by the idiocity of the head coach


Kliff
2013 - 27
2014 - 26
2015 - 8
2016 - 4
2017 - 26
2018 - 43

Kliff was as good as Leach, in a different time. Wish I had drive stats too (time to td) as 2015/2016 was just incredible with mahomes. Watched the 2015 KSU game and we dropped 28 on those jokers in one quarter and they flashed up us leading the country in 1 and 2 minute TD drives.

Wells/Yost
2019 - 38
2020 - 45

Surprised to see Yost this good as the offense always felt inconsistent to me under this group.

Wells/Cumbie
2021 - 25

Cumbie shows a clear improvement in one year, and Wells OL coach kills the next several years not recruiting high school OL.

McGuire/Kittley
2022 - 46
2023 - 53

My take - combination of QB injuries, poor OL recruiting under Wells, and WR not getting separation and Kittley still about where Wells was.


With a better OL (2 years of portal dudes + growing some up), the portal WRs and Hudson and of course Tahj, - I'm excited to see what this group can do in 2024.


If we can get back to a "good" Texas Tech offense (top 30) combined with the talent at D - and getting to be a "take 3" on Defense - then we have a MUCH better chance of landing in the top 3-4 in the conference. Have a "great" offense and good defense and the sky is the limit - but I'm not sure we're quite developed for "great" just yet.

Prime Time is a petulant child

If I were CU administrators I would be embarrassed.

Backstory: Max Olson of the Athletic wrote a story with interviews from all the kids that got run off last year at CU. One kid said what we all know that Deion is a self serving ass and Shedeur tweeted he didn’t even know who this kid was so he must have been mid at best. Now Deion, a power 5 head coach mind you, is degrading this 20 year old kid who is just trying to play college football.

Also love the local CU beat writer carrying water for Deion as to ensure he doesn’t lose access to the program. That place is a dumpster fire and I cannot wait to watch it completely blow up in CU’s face this season.

STORY: Five Texas Tech underclassmen who could break out this fall


Really a lot of candidates and probably more who deserved to go on the HM list but I wanted to limit it somewhat. Exciting to see all the young talent that McGuire and Co. have brought to campus.

Tech YouTube Nostalgia

YouTube has been hammering me with old Tech games & I've been eating it up. Love seeing old shots of Jones Stadium, Lubbock, the Masked Rider going H.A.M. before the game & after a touchdown... Spike Dykes, 80s/90s fashion, James Gray, Roof Raider, Dick Winder, fan clickers, Tracy Saul, north endzone Double T, Mike Leach, Charles Odiorne, Raider Red iterations... layers & layers of nostalgia. What a different world

v. TCU 1987

v. TCU 1989

v. Duke 1989 (All American Bowl)

v. Arkansas 1991

@ Houston 1991

v. OU 1992

v. A&M 2003

@ A&M 2008

Chevron moving from CA to Houston

Seems like a pretty big deal.
