Our fanbase is the most amazing in the country, bar none. We win every twitter battle. We even made a dang cactus trend nationally! There is nothing we can’t do. But now that football season is here, we have a unique opportunity in front of us; something that will directly affect our realignment value and the value of our Tier 3 rights. We need every TV view or stream possible for every Tech game. I’m not just saying ‘turn on your tv,’ although I am saying that. No, what I’m saying is that we need to make a coordinated effort across our entire alumni base to garner as many streams/TV sets as possible. So please:
That is my humble ask. Let’s make watching Tech football trend nationally, just like the cactus!
Let’s gooooooooooooo!
- Turn on your TVs or streaming devices every game! Don’t turn them off, no matter how far up we are.
- Even if you are attending the game in Lubbock, or one of our other home venues like Fort Worth, leave your TVs or streaming devices on!
- Even if you are watching at a bar or friends house, leave your TVs on!
- Call your parents/kids/siblings/friends and get them to turn on their TVs, every week. Email everyone you know to remind them.
- Use your sphere of influence to get others to turn on their TVs, even if they aren’t watching. E.g., I have several OU friends who feel a little bad about deserting the conference. They have promised to stream/turn on their TVs every week to the Tech game.
- Do you own/run a business? Make it a requirement for employees to turn their TVs on to the Tech games
- Live in an apartment complex? Offer free beer to anyone who turns on the games.
- Break into your neighbors’ homes and turn their TVs on. Steal some beer while you are at it.
- What are your ideas? Tell us in the replies.
That is my humble ask. Let’s make watching Tech football trend nationally, just like the cactus!
Let’s gooooooooooooo!
