***Texas Tech Game Week Discussion Thread***

[IASTATE07]

I missed this apparently. Don't want to cave the thread, but I have to imagine that this kicker got at least a "don't do that again" from the coaches this past week.

Texas Tech kicker endorsement of Trump, MAGA during football game sets social media ablaze

While Texas Tech might have fallen to TCU on Saturday in Ft. Worth, social media was set on fire by stunt from the Red Raider's kicker that garnered national attention. Here is what you need to know.

Guessing the conference said something.

Is this game a theme?? Trying to pack and want to make sure I’m color coordinated if I can be!

I do not believe there is a theme though, Go Cyclones!

I think the theme this week is Homecoming

I see you must be from the communal shower generation. Thankfully, my high school locker room had recently upgraded to shower stalls so no meat judging.

What, no eighth graders peeing on the 7th graders, no forced sumo wrestling? What has this world come to?

My model predicts a blowout.

I'm somebody that always bets against what I want, so I win no matter what.

Normally I would put a $50 moneyline bet on Tech this weekend. I've decided to only put $20 on the Tech spread because I know I'm going to lose.

Are there really people saying we are the worst 11th ranked team ever? Michigan was ranked 9th and Florida State was ranked 10th just this year.

Also harping on the UCF game makes me think people didn't watch it to understand that it was only in serious doubt because of 2 pick sixes.

kanell has been trolling lately putting out those soundbites that would lead you to believe he doesn't like the clones, but in reality he actually has been high on us.

I think this game will say a lot about this team. if we can come out and put together a full game and win comfortably I will have enough evidence to finally say I believe we will be in the big 12 championship game.

it would be rather nice to get TT on a 3 and out on the opening drive, then march the length of the field for a 7-0 start. The way we've had to come back from early deficits reminds me of the '14-15 bball team.

Hassell talked about it on Two Guys. He does that just to mess with people and see if they will just play the negative sound bite without the positive stuff he says afterwards. ISU did just that in one of their hype videos apparently.

I just packed my bag for this weekend and threw in a bunch of rain gear. This all but guarantees it won't rain during the game

Thank you for your sacrifice

This says rain not starting till around 7 pm. Hope it's correct:

I could've put this in general college sports but it affects ISU. looks like all the big 12 teams this weekend are turning in their helmet communication devices to add encryption. I saw on tech boards there was a rumor going around that Baylor was listening to their play calling frequency.

College helmet comms not secure, sources say

Coach-to-player in-game communications during Power 4 college football games this season have been occurring on unencrypted frequencies, sources told ESPN.

A century ago, in high school, our coaches were early adopters of wireless headsets to talk to the box. Other team intercepted the signal and knew every play call. I can't believe this was rolled out without inscription or at least frequency hopping. So easy to intercept any signal.
