I'm picking Texas Tech to win this game. It goes against every fiber in my body.
We are 8-point underdogs.
Playing a team we haven't beaten in multiple presidential administrations. I was a freshman in college the last time we won in Manhattan.
Their defense is very well suited to stop our offense and now has a pretty good idea of what Kittley's adjusted with his play calling to account for the weaknesses we have up front.
Deuce is good. Really good. Fast.
Kansas State has also looked really, really good in their 2 games against P5 teams (Mizzou & OU), including one game that's probably the best win of any team in the country.
We're also coming off a very emotional win against UT and this is a classic let down spot (this logic applies to them, too... but they're at least playing at home).
..........Picking Tech to win this game is, honestly, self-destructive behavior.
Dangerous behavior, too, compared to other self-destructive outlets like cocaine and hookers. You know, there's probably some scholarly research out there comparing the negative health effects of buying into a Tech team that's about to play K-State versus paying for sex. I just don't have time to find it right now, but I bet you it's worth a read. Definitely would for my own personal journey.
Regardless, I'm ready to be hurt again.
This Tech defense is built different.
We have an NFL edge guy that's really good against the run.
Outside of maybe Weston Wright and a random brace recently added to Donovan's knee, we are a very healthy football team.
There is a non-zero chance Donovan is a future stud QB and he's about to put it all together in a big way. This might be unlikely, but it's quite possible.
Tech football these last few games, even going back to late last year, has been in the business of exorcising demons. I don't think it stops tomorrow.

FHIP -- while not the best Tech sports podcast (hell, it's not even top 30) -- is the only podcast in the world dedicated to Redraidersports subscribers (despite being generally sh*t on by RRS, the entity). All other podcasts (which are way better than FHIP) are for your average, run-of-the-mill Tech sports fans. Those podcasts are for the peasants. Not FHIP. FHIP is made for you by people like you. The hosts watch all the football games and approximately 1/3rd of the basketball games.
