Tech-Baylor 4th Quarter Open Thread (aka OMG!!!1! Go Bears!!!11!!1)

PrintBama is predictably destroying a terrible Auburn team, and Florida is likewise beating up on the Seminoles. But alas, there is hope! Your adopted fightin' Baylor Bear football team is leading Texas Tech 28-21 heading into the 4th Quarter. If the Bears win, whatever happens in Stillwater tonight means absolutely nothing to Texas, as the Horns will be headed to Kansas City regardless. And a win in Kansas City unequivocally sends Texas to Miami. So the moral of the story is: SIC 'EM BEARS!!!

oh gosh
Why is Tech so lucky? Did Tech payoff the refs?

Brian Norwood looks a lot like Charlie Strong.
and not just b/c he’s black
HOLDING?
i know we’ve already complained about the holding by tech during our game… but this is just ridiculous with their offensive line. why no call?

oh my gosh. you can’t review a play once the ball is snapped!!! there is absolutely no way that is possible. isn’t that a rule?

I'm so mad
How can they get so lucky? TWO turnovers called back for penalties? Really?
by TheElusiveShadow on Nov 29, 2008 5:21 PM CST reply actions
"Hey, ref, we're not supposed to lose. Remember?"
“Oh, right. If you have another turnover I’ll call something.”
and the baylor d has played well.
still plenty o time left. i might go back to the last thread though. haha
Who knew Tech could be a 2nd half team.

Baylor needs to stop committing monster penalties
Holy crap, an offsides and a def. holding call may have just decided the Big12 championship.

Ok, lets run right into 5 Tech defenders on the return...

Ugh
Baylor’s entire coaching staff quit on their team about midway through the third Q.
Game over
Actually, the game ended when Briles chickened out on fourth down.
your comments are starting to annoy me. How 'bout a little positive thinking?
the man, the myth, the legend.
I hope your right
Baylor needs a turnover with out a penalty

I'll never understand...
…why coaches still think they can beat Tech in the secondary.
three-man rush + soft zone = wide open receivers all over the field
YOU CANNOT RUSH ONLY THREE GUYS AND HOPE TO GET TO GRAHAM HARREL. PERIOD. WHAT IS BRILES THINKING?

bear hugs
dont count as holding i.e. #67 on tech
Hoooly crap
Anyone else see the Tech lineman bear-hug the BU rusher?

anybody else thought about how funny it would be if tech lost and still did that flyover tonight?

next week
and i get the feeling they’ll be slaughtered
this is frustrating
And to think, this is the same team that smoked Texas during the first half in that game.
I gotta get me a Snuggie

Baylor drives the field, scores a TD, goes for 2 wins the game

Well...
That’s why they’re coaching/playing at Baylor instead of at a real program.
watch tech try to score a TD
to make it look like a better win
Nope
OU is going to jump us in the computers on strength of opponent alone. Human polls don’t matter.
& Mack talks a BIG game...
we should all buy lottery tix
"When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before."
OU will have to somehow win and look awful doing it
That blowout last week is still fresh on voters’ minds.
it wont matter if they try to score cause baylor cant stop them anyway
Guaranteed to work 60% of the time, every time.
that’s what our hopes rest on now. OSU keeping it close.
by 4th generation fan on Nov 29, 2008 5:42 PM CST reply actions
well
this hurts them with any voters that are watching (on VS., not likely). maybe if OSU wins tonight, this helps keep us in front of Tech. getting blown out by OU, then struggling at home against Baylor. not a great way to finish off the season.
also, the showing today makes it seem possible that they could actually lose to Mizzou. time to root for the Cowboys.
If oSu wins tonight
Tech goes to the Big 12 championship, but we’re basically guaranteed a spot in the BCS title game.
exactly
i do think that conference championships are under-rated (both in Football and Basketball), but obviously a chance to play in the National Championship game FAR outweighs the chance to play in the Big XII Championship game.

...
I’m not particularly thrilled at the opportunity to play Florida, tho. I don’t think we win that one.
I do.
and I wanna see our D chew on Tebow a little. take his swagger down a notch.
"When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before."
tbh
I’d love to see an OU/UF game. That’d be something else.
Harvin hurt today
haven’t heard if it’s anything serious or not.
I think we could go toe to toe with Florida. I really think our offense can keep us in ANY game.

ESPN news talking right now
that this miserable tech performance takes a lot of luster off OU’s big win, making it all but clear that texas should be voted above OU.
bleeding orange up in nyc. get a rope.
Agreed
How do all the commentators believe in us but the f’ing pollsters keep voting against us???
Texas '06.
Because
Pollsters are stupid. Always have been, always will be.
give 'em a chance
they reversed course a few weeks ago when we jumped back over OU after the Tech loss. they may come to their senses again. let’s root like hell that OSU at least keeps it close. a blowout win in Stillwater, and OU almost certainly jumps us.
by littlevisigoth on Nov 29, 2008 5:46 PM CST up reply actions
So how do they decide their votes?
They don’t watch all the games, they don’t watch commentators … Is the box score all they care about?
Texas '06.
I like that argument
until it extends to Texas’ loss vs Tech.
extending that argument to Texas' loss to Tech is fine
the argument makes Texas’ loss against Tech look worse.
okay, so OU’s win doesn’t look as good, and our loss looks worse.
so now what? how do i decide who should be ranked higher between UT and OU? can i put them on a neutral field? oh. 45-35
If some idiot receiver would catch a pass
They had a chance.
by TheElusiveShadow on Nov 29, 2008 5:46 PM CST up reply actions
if some frosh safety catches a floating INT...
oops, wrong tech game
"When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before."
Have you not seen a GD called offense?
We blew chunks in the first half and the DB tackled high instead of going for the push out of bounds.
I despise Tech

Leach needs to find a new job for next year
This was his best team and the schedule worked in his favor.
Next year, his QB and star WR are gone. And he has to go to Stillwater and Austin.
Leach has a chance at a Big 12 title once every 3-4 years...
And that’s about as good as it can get at Tech.
Well in other news
Brantley is going in for Florida next possession
Adopt-a-recruit: Devon Kennard DE

It's nice to see him get some playing time.
I wonder how he’s liking his decision to spurn Mack Brown.
And yet
they still underachieved in the 2nd half.
Is Leach drunk?

You're kidding, right?
He’s not a religious person in the slightest, even if he is from Mormon parents.
Texas '06.
yep
I’ve been saying all season that if they ever manage to build depth around him, they’ll be very dangerous.
well, with crabtree out with a boot, i don't see him playing in the big12 title (in case OSU wins). that's good for texas. nt
bleeding orange up in nyc. get a rope.
Refs
took away two turnovers for baylor… Amazes me that two bad calls (and a bunch of no calls) cost texas a spot in the title game.. I hope those refs burn in hell.
(yes I am furious)
45-35
really though
at the end of the day, this was a LOT closer than it should have been. Tech is red-faced right now for trailing through three quarters at home to Baylor, when they’re trying to make a claim to one of the top two spots. OSU winning tonight should absolutely punch our ticket to Miami.
ok, so...
do i root for oklahoma and hope that the numbers work out for us?
do i root for oklahoma state because i think mizzou has a better chance against tech?
Dunno
it’s such a clusterfuck this season.
If oSu wins tonight...
…we’re in Miami no matter what happens in KC.
i really
don’t think it would matter if Tech goes to KC. anybody else agree with me?

root for OSU
if they lose a close one, that’s also as good.

well, time to swallow the pride...
and go root for (yuck) ou. again. dammit.

I dunno...
mizzou lost to kansas, don’t see them hanging anything on tech
"When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before."
Tech's MNC hopes are DONE!
There is NO way Tech will jump over a 1 loss Texas. 39-33 at home at night in last second won’t be enough for them.

nope just holding out for numbers...
"When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before."
unfortunately, especially considering Mizzou lost..
I just don’t see this happening.
Terrible coaching job in second half by Baylor
Griffin is a premier playmaker. Tech knew this and still couldn’t stop him yet you largely choose to ignore his playmaking abilities in the second half? Coaching 101: let your playmakers make plays.
I saw we root for OSU.
Everytime we root for someone, they do something we don’t want them to. So OSU will probably lose to OU, but just barely. That’s my plan.
Just a side note...
Mizzou lost to Kansas… it would hurt us very much if OU win tonight,
but it would defnitely help us if Tech goes to Big 12 Title against 9-3 Mizzou. (instead of 10-2 Mizzou).
i cant see why we would root for OU
if OU wins, they go to the big 12 champ, stomp missouri, and head to miami.
if they lose, they are out, tech goes to kansas city and wild speculation ensues.
Did Mississippi State
just fire Sly Croom?
A stupid system that works exactly like it's supposed to is still a stupid system.
Hey...

Again
Who the hell votes UT behind OU with all these commentators saying we should be above?!?
Texas '06.
It's a mystery.

Damn, I could have been working on my 12-page paper right now if BU had won.
Now I get to have a heart attack and criticize OU all night.
Oh wait, this could be fun.

Wouldn't call it a choke
A choke is when you’re winning and then blow it (like Baylor). We just didn’t show up until midway through the third.
A stupid system that works exactly like it's supposed to is still a stupid system.
I think losing to a markedly inferior team
when that team is all that stands between you and the BCS title game is a choke.

It's a bad loss, yes...
…but that’s not what the word “choke” means.
A stupid system that works exactly like it's supposed to is still a stupid system.
Hm...
…are you also one of those people who says “untracked” when you really mean “on track”?
A stupid system that works exactly like it's supposed to is still a stupid system.
Well technically...
We were winning and then blew it. So that would make it, by any definition, a choke job.
It's not a choke if you had to come from behind to get the lead in the first place.
If we’d have held on, it would have been a choke on their part.
A stupid system that works exactly like it's supposed to is still a stupid system.
Let's remember...
how hyped up Tech was for the biggest game in the program’s history. And that it was the end of “the gauntlet”. Football is an emotional game… it matters.
I certainly think it was a disappointing loss, but not a choke.
Any team that has to rally to beat Baylor at home
should just be given a loss.

Defintion of "choke" according to Webster's:

Wouldn't this hurt us though?
If Oregon wins, that makes USC the Pac – 10 champ, no?
If Oklahoma State beats OU tonight, that puts Tech in the Big 12 Championship Game.
Assuming Tech loses (or even if Tech wins some might argue), the argument is that we are in the MNC game.
But with USC winning the Pac – 10, won’t all the media talking heads try to argue you can’t put Texas in the MNC game since they didn’t even win their conference?
I just want to eliminate that argument.
Therefore, we need Oregon State to beat Oregon.
Well they are already talking about
how if OU loses and Tech wins the Big 12 title game, that Tech should jump over Texas and go to Miami.
I hate to say it, but I can't argue with that argument.
As much as I want Texas to go (and I think Texas will still go even in the scenario you mention above), I can’t disagree with that argument.
Tech beat us. Assuming they win the Big 12; they beat us head-to-head AND won the Big 12. Can’t argue with that.
But, I still think we go to the MNC because of Tech’s computer averages. I don’t think/know if they can pass us in BCS, especially considering Mizzou is now 9-3.
And this example highlights how bad the BCS is. Playoff anyone?
I say go OSU and
let tech go to b12 game. unless they put up 70-3 on a now down and out Mizzou team, they arent Texas and arent going to get the votes to get to the NC game over us or anybody else for that matter.
Good...
Oregon State scored.
10-7 Oregon leads, though.
it's not over
root for OSU, the numbers are against us, but we can still go to the MNC. go pokes!!!!
