I don't know if you remember, or you may not care, and it was two years ago. But, Matt Jones, a SR Linebacker for Baylor called out Tech fans for being "Fake Fans" back in 2022. I would hope that the Tech faithful, who will be there Saturday, could provide the type of "atmosphere" that Mr. Jones would find more "appropriate" shall we say.
Maybe I am wrong on this issue. I will certainly listen to any opposing opinions.
Just a trip down memory lane.
With the Baylor football team picking up the school’s first road win in Lubbock since 1990, Bears junior linebacker Matt Jones didn’t hold back when asked about breaking that streak.
Especially when asked about silencing the Texas Tech crowd on Saturday night.
“It was awesome,” Jones said. “I remember seeing them just leaving early, even when they had a chance. Just seeing them leave early, I guess you could call them some fake fans but it was just nice.”
So what did Jones think of the crowd noise in Lubbock compared to, say, the game in Provo, Utah?
“I thought BYU was more electric, more intensified,” Jones said. “I didn’t think their [Texas Tech’s] fans or crowd really brought it like we were expecting. I think we had high expectations as to what we were going to expect coming into the game with the crowd and how it could be a distraction, but I don’t think it really distracted us one bit.”
