Brown took an awful lot of shit on this board last week for this quote, that thank God we didn't have the guy running our team, etc. Of course, that was when we were 5-1 and on a four-game winning streak.
Now that Baylor embarrassed Tech at home, where is that same bravado on this board? In the last two days, frankly a surprising number on this board is in a way saying the same thing Brown is saying. Hey, just enjoy the atmosphere and don't get caught up in the final score. We're historically a .500 program, we're too isolated to be any better, no real winning coach would ever want to come here, apparently other schools with similar profiles that have taken a step up must have some secret sauce that Tech will never have, we're a basketball school and other assorted staples of mediocrity.
Those of us who believe Tech in the NEW Big 12 should be an 8-9-win program and go into the middle of November with a good chance to get into the Big 12 title game most years because of facilites, competitive NIL and fan support, are just not tethered to reality. We're living in a dream world. In other words, we are not and never will be a Kansas State, which at one time in the not-so-distant past had 22 losing seasons in 23 years and 10 times won three games or less.
So, if this be the case, maybe some new fan parameters need to be set: enjoy the tailgating, the march in of the band, seeing friends, the uniform combos, soak in the sunshine, make plans for postgame dinner, and if the home team happens to win, well, that's wonderful, but we really shouldn't expect too much of that since winning has never been in our DNA. Oh, and don't forget to up your donations to the Matador Club and Red Raider Club and we'll see everyone at the next home game.
