Win or lose, keep things in perspective.

I'd stick with scotch
but I drank it al last night. My hangover was enough to calm the nerves all day but it’s no longer effective.

...not about to change.
although, the only time i have to make exceptions is when i have drill on which ever weekend it falls on. and thats only because i cant drink on duty.

obviously, the football gods recognize your service

agreed, i do everything i can when i can.

I have an aggie friend....
….I know I know, I feel sorry for him….anyway, he says that the day Nebraska plays ou is by far the worst day of the year….because one of them HAS to win.
I’m not sure why he hates Nebraska so much…..but then again, I think aggies have rivalries with everybody.
Seriously?

Anybody ever hear the myth....
About how the dude on the horse in Lubbock will come down if a virgin ever graduates from tt??? Well…all I have to say about that is….we are about to make sure that doesn’t happen for at least 4 years….because we are about to have our way with the entire raider nation.
because they've evolved just enough
to not throw their own feces.
Disciplina Praesidium Civitatis.
I came up with a theory to that earlier in the week....
You see, tech fans look at us much the same way the roman peasantry looked at returning generals that had been successfull in battle. They gather in the stadium awaiting the opportunity to glimpse a real football team with a real live defense. Now the people in Lubbock are not the people from ancient Rome, they are dumber/stinkier/drunker/stinkier….and poorer so they don’t have to money to buy flowers to toss at us…instead they choose to hurl the humble tortilla. Thus, showing their undying adulation and eternal jealousy of our superiority in every way…..
….either that or they are trying to give their toothless cheerleaders something to snack on.

I fear the 1st quarter surge
Disciplina Praesidium Civitatis.
I fear that Orakpo
will have no legitimate defense when the cops haul him into jail for murdering Harrell tonight.
dont worry, Muschamp will get elected to president and give him a full pardon!
If You See Kay, Oh You
Muschamp as president
wow
no words
should have sent a poet
I don't know what that means
but i’m still pondering the implications of a muschamp – palin ticket.
Why Palin you ask? Because there’s only one difference between a pitbul and a hockey mom, Muschamp won’t eat a hockey mom for breakfast….they are generally to big and he likes to keep it light until dinner time.

everything I heard or read today was all on Tech’s jock. I think I read one prediction that was pro-Longhorns. Everyone else just loooooooves Graham Harrell.

Thank Thank you
I will in Italy for the a&m game. Hopefully I can watch the game now. The president of the Texas Ex’s in Rome emailed me that no one will have the game.
Pretty cruddy since in almost every other country I have been in, the Texas Ex’s get a bar to stay open and show the game.

Hopefully, we roll. I want this game baaaaaaaaad

i keep reminding myself to maintain perspective. tech will make us look bad at times tonight. we have a damned good team. we’ve had a hell of a month. etc., etc.

Good penetration. Limited TT line surge.

That’s NOT as good as a sack, Herbie…
And Mussie screwed up
He said he got a free year’s worth of rent, but it was only a month.

On a serious level, Beasley played against them last year.
Gives him an edge in recognition. I think they’ll all play and whoever is doing best get the load.
Tech got to squeeze out some emotion there.
Not bad, considering.
their guys are covered for the most part
gotta put Harrell down in those sitchies

secondary gettin lit up.
love the pressure the d-line is getting, harrell is running for his life. he is not suppose to be able to throw on the run, but the damn receivers are so wide open. thank god it was only a field goal.
ok
mccoy, work your magic please now thanks.
Tech is playing strong, at least emotionally strong.
That’s it more than anything with the Texas line.

Oh, I know that
But we need to pick it up soon, otherwise they’ll win more than a quarter.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Out of here for a while.
Need a deep breath, and a shot of tequila.
See you in the second quarter
God
We need to grow some sack and kick them in the face
Perhaps the most recognizable mascot in sports, and certainly the toughest looking, Bevo is a fixture
act like a fucking #1
get mean, get physical. there’s no way they should be pushing us around. take a roughing call and put harrell on his ass a couple of times.
It could be much worse...
But leaving our D on the field for 12-13 mins is killer
yeah
out of 15 minutes. cant win a game like that.
tech is executing our game plan perfectly
physical and ball control offense
2nd quarter or 2nd half?

Sigh.
Orakpo down and Tech still moving the ball at will. This is NOT good.
Of course, all of the non-calls by the refs aren’t helping things….
