giving Tech some credit

Tech certainly gave good shlacking to Okie st.. The cowboys couldn't stop the Techie Offense. Every drive was a TD and two went over 95 yards. 

This makes me feel better how much tighter the Horns played Tech, after spotting them one half of crap, the Horns clawed their way back and were as close as you can get but not win.

But even though tech has a much better team than they have during the past they still got those same old sissy spakley helmets. Does anyone else think they look like they were designed for the nieghborhood bowling league? maybe disco rollerskating protection or a Liberace Las Vegas extravaganza? Pirates might go for the black uniforms and some want to be praire pirates might wear black and red but playing football with a disco ball helmet is going to get you about as much respect as having Richard Simmons as a strength coach.

Tech

this team can score on anyone. I dont think this defense can play with the same intensity as it does the past 2 games consistently.

Agreed - give Tech credit

and then some.

I don’t care what their uniforms are like because this team is the #1 team in the nation. They are executing at a very very high level.

I just can’t see OU’s defensive backfield outlasting Harrell’s passing assortment. Harrell is dialed in. Is the home field advantage for OU a tie breaker? I doubt it.

How crummy is it that OU catch the Pirates at home. Ho-hum, we’re one play away from owning the south….sorry Persian king, I feel worse this morning.

I'm with you

After watching the display Tech put on last night, I was more depressed than I’ve been in long time. Our MNC hopes for this year are just about gone, no matter what we do.

Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.

they ARE sparkling helmets!

I could’ve sworn it was misting or drizzling. My friend who went to the game last week, said there was no rain. I was telling myself there was no way that they had those girly sparkles on them, but I guess I was wrong.

We definitely lost the fashion contest.

My girlfriend thought our black tops with white pants pretty much meant the game was over before it started, and then we fumbled.

Sparkle power.

Go register. Or else.

Tech's current run looks familiar

It may just be me, but Tech’s last 2 games remind me of our games against OU and Mizzou. The big, mostly unexpected upset of #1, followed by a blowout of a really good team that everyone thought would be close. And then next up, another huge game against a top 10 team. I guess we shoud expect a one possession game in Norman then?

Sucks for Tech it’s on the road, but hey, if you’re gonna win the South, it’s a gut check every week. Let’s see if they can man up for the 3rd (4th if you include KU) week in a row.

From the fanpost title...

I was sure someone from UT had finally regained their senses, and was planning to acknowledge what is obvious to anyone but aggie. Too bad I actually read the post. Another backhand from someone acting like aggie. Thank you, though, to you more sensible longhorns who posted comments that didn’t make you all look like complete @$$es.

... I'm just sayin'

more pirate imagery

no matter how well tech does they still have sparkly helmets. The same would happen if they wore fringe, sequins or ruffles. what self respecting pirate wears sparkles? they look like “dancing with the stars” . Some body should tell the guy with the scary makeup that it clashes with the ball room helmets.
