The Night Thread Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State

Tiny by whills on in Football Comment 640 comments

One down, one got lucky and one to go.

It's been an interesting day. Not a good one for field goals or SEC QBs. Now we get to see some serious football.

We all agree it's a damn close game.

I’d be shocked if it wasn’t. But it could be all one half for one, all second half for the other.
