JM just said that we are going Black Red Black for this game.

Didnt see a thread already....

It's UT.

They get hand jobs from everyone all of the time but it seems especially bad this year, especially with that dumpster fire of a football team.

Half of my group can't make it. 4 tickets in section 119, row 12. Seatbacks. Asking $100 for all 4. DM if interested.

My nerves are at a 9 right now...will be at an 11 in around 45 minutes.

Two huge games at the same time...


Who's watching both at the same time? Where or how are you setup for it?

Do you survive it?

Surprised nobody has started this! Where does everyone like to watch the results come in?

Edit: preferred news network?

In the first game of the Lonestar Thanksgiving Classic, Drew Steffe had a triple double with 18pts, 12rebs and 10 assists.

Extremely tough first game.

Creighton's won 3 straight games by ~30 points. They haven't played anybody, but that margin of victory is impressive against anybody.

They have a 7 footer -- Ryan Kalkbrenner. 80% of his shot attempts have occurred at the rim, and he's converted an even higher % of those shots. It'll be interesting to see how Batcho fares battling him on the boards. This guy got injured in the tournament last year and part of me wonders if they beat Kansas had he played. He would've made a big difference. They don't really post him up that much, but they might today after we switch our smaller guards on to him. His 1.5+ points per possession leads the Big East right now.

Adams mentioned yesterday that "we have some things in place to attack their big guy." I assume that means we're going to try to put him in some pick and rolls.

Creighton's best two players are really big wing / guard types. Arthur Kaluma -- who I believe we recruited out of HS -- and Baylor Scheierman, the transfer from South Dakota State. Both guys would start and play significant minutes for us. They are both 6'7+. Kaluma rebounds really well and takes most of their shots in transition and in the half-court. Scheierman is a lights out shooter (over 40% on 300+ career attempts).

Their primary ball handler is Ryan Nembhard, the brother of current NBA player and former Gator/Zag, Andrew Nembhard. He was a highly-recruited guy that started for them last year as a true FR, but missed the last 10 or so games of the year with an injury. I'm really wondering if Creighton would've knocked off Kansas last year in the tournament had they been fully healthy.

NBA legend Mike Miller's 6'9 freshman son is also on their team. He may not play much but apparently can shoot it like his dad.

They also have the South American shooter that we've played a lot when he was at TCU (Francisco Farabello).

Creighton is not a team that prides itself on turning people over or pressuring the ball. But it has not required much of that to turn us over through the first couple games. We can't win this game turning it over on 30% of our possessions without a lot of 3-point luck.

Kalkbrenner and Kaluma are going to test our defensive rebounding. We have to box those two out. There's a world where we're giving away a large % of our possessions via passes to the wrong team, while Creighton is rebounding a large % of their misses -- the math is really bad for us if that's occurring.

I'll remind myself a dozen times to hold back overreactions to this team's first game in a Hawaii HS gym against an experienced top 10 team. Creighton should win this game, at least at this point in the season. That said, Mark Adams with a week to prepare is very dangerous.

It was talked about in the LOTT podcast today that Joey brought a tire to Ames. Why? This scene in Creed 2. Wish I heard Joey's speech on this.

4-2 on betting the spread in tech games. Last week was easy with the two best defenses in the big 12 facing each other and a really bad line.

Now we have OU’s decent offense and bad defense vs Tech’s good defense and middle to bad offense.

As a reminder, if Tech comes in at -3.5 or less take them. In at -5.5 or more take OU.

Read Twitter thread. Don’t think I have ever seen this before

Believe it will be me steering the ship tonight. I’ll have an injury report shortly…

Headsup to all you Tarrant county fans. Charlie will be playing at Fred's in Fort Worth, Wednesday night.

Sorry if this is old news but saw on the basketball schedule Tech will play Jackson State at Delmar which is a HISD gym. What’s the story with this game?

I’m not into video games. Have a 10 and 7 yr old that play Nintendo Switch.

Thinking about getting either a PS5 or XBox for their Christmas.

Which way do I go?

thank you joey mac

Saw it tonight. Loved it! On par with some of the best Marvel Movies IMO.

There is a mid credits scene, but no end of credits, so don’t worry about sitting after the scroll.

It’s a great day to kill some blue birds 🐦

Recovered from their inexplicable putrid performance against UT to beat number 4 Kentucky.

Who's pumped for tomorrow? I know I am. I love me some Red Raider basketball! Here's a little preview on Creighton and who to look out for.

Gritty. Excruciating. Cold. Ballsy. Painful. Clutch.

Whatever you want to call it, that was one hell of a win.

No one's going to care. It will be the tiniest blip on the national college football radar. But Tech just won in Ames without its best player, while getting nearly doubled up in total yards.

Joey McGuire is one win away from the best regular season in almost a decade and a half.

Tyler Shough did enough. Almost mistake free. He picked up some tough, gutsy yards on the ground. He was efficient in the air. After accounting for sacks, Shough carried the ball 14 times, including the two most important carries of the game (4th and short on the TD drive & 1st & 10 on the last drive). Sometimes I mistake him for Jerome Bettis. He may look like a softie from California, but that guy is a warrior.

The OL held up. Caleb Rogers got beat one time by a future NFL edge rusher. And the other sack was of the coverage variety, and it only occurred after Shough bailed from the pocket into their pass rush. Our inability to move the ball offensively was not a result of the OL's deficiencies, like it has been at other points of the year.

Adrian Frye catches some flack, some of it warranted. But he played a ton of snaps tonight in relief for Malik Dunlap. He had 7 tackles, including a big one for a loss late in the second half. Kudos to him for sticking it out this season after losing his job. He runs down on every kickoff 100 miles per hour, too.

We ran the ball on almost 2/3rds of our snaps. It was extremely tough sledding -- around 3.2 yards per carry after you take out the 16-yard loss on the botched snap. But it sustained our two scoring drives. And we picked up a game-winning first down on the ground to ice the game. The little production that we did have on the ground won us this game.

Muddy Waters is a beast. On 4th and goal from the 2 yard line, Muddy wins a pass rush move on Iowa State's right tackle. It forced Dekker to step up into the waiting arms of Tony Bradford (I think?) for a massive, back-breaking sack. On 3rd and 12, on what was Iowa State's final drive, Muddy wins a pass rush move on Iowa State's right guard, forcing him to commit a holding penalty, which negated a 7 yard run and lead to a punt. Those two plays won us the game.

Baylor Cupp wins a 50/50 jump ball in the end zone. That play won us the game.

Nehemiah Martinez took matters into his own hands on the last drive. Powering through an Iowa State DB for what felt like 40 yards but was only a gain of 9. Then he catches a 50/50 ball on the sideline before turning that into an actual huge gain. We, for the most part, couldn't do shit on offense. Those plays were huge. They won us the game.

Rod and Tahj ran like men possessed. Their demonic running of the football won us the game.

Special teams was nails. We executed, what seemed like, 107 punts and kicks in freezing cold weather without a hitch. McNamara boomed a clutch 50+ yard punt in the shadow of his own end zone. Those plays won us the game.

Krishon Merriweather is a bad m'fer. I love that dude. We aren't winning that game without his 9 tackles.

Joey put on a master class of "slow subbing" after Iowa State botched a substitution of their own on the final drive. They subbed with about 15 seconds on the play clock, and Vidal Scott wandered on to the field like he had just ate a sack of hydroponic mushrooms. It forced Iowa State to take a timeout, which lead to Tech being able to ice the game with only one first down at the end. Using the rules to our advantage won us that game. Coaching staffs around the country will be watching that clip in meetings this week to see what that "old HS coach down in Texas" is doing to help his team win football games.

Iowa State's offense crossed the 50-yard line eight different times. They scored 10 points. The two stops inside the goal line was the stuff of legends. Our defensive front wanted to win that football game more than anyone else on the field. Iowa State backs gained just 2.7 yards per traditional handoff. Our Tyree Wilson-less D-line won us the game.

Xavier Hutchinson is good. That Iowa State defense is for real.

This was a historic game. Coldest game in Tech football history according to the radio broadcast. I'm sure that we also set records in terms of lowest offensive output in a win. I wonder the last time Tech won a Big 12 game with less than 150 yards passing? Or less than 250 total yards? I'll have to do some homework this week to dig into that.

Texas goes from No. 11 to No. 1 in CBS Sports Top 25 and 1. It's so unlike the media to overreact to any win by a Texas athletic team, so they may really have something. And, no, Tech isn't in it.
