Texas Tech travels to "Cloud City"



I have a bad feeling that Tech is going to the cloud city and somebody is going to be put in a "Cryo Tank". The most important game of the 2006 season takes place tomorrow. Win and Tech can survive a full team meltdown and perhaps a decent bowl and fruitful recruiting season can happen. Sure they still have OU and Texas left on the schedule but that has no bearing on what is going on with the program. Tech is spiraling from poor attitude and lack of leadership. Tech loses to 0-6 Colorado and the season will tank next week in Ames, Iowa. The Longhorns will finish off Tech and the Raiders will have to beat Baylor and OSU at home just to be bowl eligible. A bad scenario indeed.

The hub bub on the street is that Rojo has basically quit on the team. The other Hub Bub is that the only leader on the team appears to be backup quaterback Chris Todd. Unfortunately we cant put Todd's leadership and starting quarterback Graham Harell's arm on the same body. The offense shows signs of greatness, but no sign of consistentcy. Then their is the defense. In my opinion, the Tech defense has played well. They aren't world beaters but they play hard and have been able to make some key plays to keep Tech from having a losing record. Also, the Tech special teams have done basically nothing except take care of the football.

I hate to say this but Tech has a huge problem with the effectiveness of the coaching. I am not down on them, but I think we have a problem playing a full game. Besides the cream puffs, Tech hasn't put alot of pressure on teams and failed to put the Aggies away early in the 3rd quarter allowing them to almost win.

Keys to saving the season.

1. Win the games we are supposed to: CU, ISU, BU, and OSU.
2. Give UT and OU hell.
3. Win a bowl game.
4. Above all else, dont let that immature kid ruin what took years to build!

I know its the Typical Tech thing but it is better than 6-6 and a trip to Shreveport.
