yeah that was pretty funny. I only listened on the radio but Tech looked like crap. Definitely not like #12. Though the final score might keep us up there (since the voters probably don't give a shit and won't actually look into the game, just at the final).

techs problem was that they looked like the game didn't matter. When they played hard they were kicking ass, but then they got lazy and thats how ewu got into the game.
Our D looks much improved and I think we have the best receiver core we have ever had. Our biggest weakness is our special teams. |

Were you at the game? I wasn't there so I probably didn't see the big picture, but sounded like special teams did pretty awesome. Didn't they get a couple of good returns, as well as a blocked FG attempt?

Didn't they get a couple of good returns, as well as a blocked FG attempt? Yeah, a blocked field EWU field goal. Also missed two of our own FG attempts, as well as an extra point. The announcers commented on how some of the FG/extra point kicks barely made it over the heads of the players, making it easy to see how we missed so many. Here's my question: was it a surprise that Trlica would be leaving after last season? That he would be graduating and not coming back to suit up this fall? That's what it seems like to me, because they had a whole year (if not more) to prep this kicker, and he turned out to be crap. I know some of it could be attributed to nerves as it's his first live game scenario, but it just seems like two weeks ago they went "oh yeah, guess we better find a kicker" -------------------- Forget regret

So Nevada had 426 yds rushing last week. Granted, it was Grambling State, but still, could be a good test for our defense.

QUOTE (chook @ Sep 7 2008, 03:46 AM) anyone got info on the tech game? I don't want to pay for that webcast. Yea, we are currently losing 16-14 in the third...cant seem to get anything really going on offense...the defense only gave up FG in the first half, but gave up a TD on their first drive of the second. I hope they drop us way down, or off the rankings, then maybe we will start playing like everyone says we should be. EDIT: As I typed that up, apparently the TD was reviewed and reversed, its back to 14-9 and its Techs ball. |

Well, UTEP is probably going to lose this game, but hell at least Tech won. I decided to cheer on Tech this year since I actually think they will be good. In past years, I just wanted to argue that they sucked because everyone on here acted like they were awesome.

hmm... Texas may be losing momentum now. It's only 28-13 so things could still go UTEP's way. It would be awesome if they won. They lost badly to shitty team last week. This would be a HUGE blow to the Longhorns.

Well these games don't indicate how good the team is. They never do because our football team never takes preseason seriously. They also don't take scrub teams seriously when we're ranked. I wish they'd kick this pompous attitude and just roll over these teams like they should.

well by not doing so hot at these first 2 games, its not going to help harrell nor crabtree if they want heisman votes (if we do well later, of course). they're stats are horrible right now, and they should be sky high with the small guys.
crabtree's numbers are gonna be lower than last year, unfortunately. -------------------- |

I predict that tech will fuck it up

But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

now who's #1. who's #2? 3, 4, 5. 1-6 could all make a case for #1. with the way the sec is probably everyone will have 1 loss at least. usc loses to an unranked team but could still probably make a case for being #1.
before this i thought it would be usc and then an argument over the winner of the big 12/sec duking it out for the other national championship spot. now i don't have a clue. a playoff would just solve everything. -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.

California 4-1 115 That's horseshit. Tech is still ranked 7, even though one team in front of them lost this weekend and three teams have one loss? I fully blame these sensationalist moron sports talk show hosts like Colin Cowherd. It doesn't matter what USC does, they're a better football team according to these dumbasses. USC could drop three straight and Cowherd would still put them in the Top 10 because They have the best athletes in the nation. Having the best athletes does not always equate to having the best team (see: RRS from yesterday). I don't give a shit if USC and OU have more NFL prospects than TTU. The fact is, USC and OU (and Florida) haven't taken care of business and have losses, while Tech is undefeated. Tech should be rewarded as such, just as the teams with losses should be punished. I can understand a one loss SEC team being ranked ahead of an undefeated Big 10 or mid major conference at the end of the season, But week 7? Jesus Christ. I guess now speculation about what could have happened is now more important than what actually happened. Tech Beat every team they've faced, while USC and UF got their ass handed to them by sub .500 teams. I understand having a bad game (as TTU did yesterday), but the good teams have shitty games and still come out on top. But Texas is #1, for the time being. Hook em. -------------------- |

I think the sports writers favorites are not performing well and that is why we have teams jumping all over the ratings. In the past I've noticed the ratings didn't change as much. I can't really speculate too much.

Well, Tech isn't playing Alabama, Penn State, Florida, USC, BYU, or Georgia this year, so saying those teams would kick our ass is a moot fucking point. They will be playing the other three teams, UT, OU, and OSU, so how about you wait until they actually play them before attempting to rank Tech, k? I swear, it seems internet messageboard nerd and syndicated talk radio show host dweeb are replacing common sense and rationality when it comes to ranking teams. I don't give a shit if USC or Florida have more five star recruits, more talent, richer history, or more NFL prospects than Tech. I don't care if at the end of the season, USC and UF have a better shot at playing for the BCS title game than Tech. This isn't the end of the season, this is week 7. Tech has won all their games, while USC and UF have both lost to unranked opponents. Tech should be rewarded for their efforts as such and be ranked higher than USC and UF right now If Tech ends up losing a few games and other teams run the table, by all means the other teams should jump Tech. But wait till that happens before doing so. And if it does happen, don't come back like a moron with "Hey! I told ya so!" Using that logic, let's just wait for the preseason rankings in August and crown Georgia the national champion. Fuck playing the season, everyone seems to be the expert and knows how it will end up anyway. This obviously doesn't apply to teams like Ball State, who play schools like South Philly Community College. -------------------- |

One other thing, the thing that's made college football the most talked about and popular sport in America in the last 10 or so years is the same reason college football has a rankings problem.
Talk radio and especially the internet have given rise to the stat nerds who analyze shit way too much. You used to have to have some semblance of talent and competency to score a gig talking about sports on ESPN or Foxsports radio. Now, you just have to be controversial and piss people off. Colin Cowherd, although he's my favorite radio personality, is a fucking idiot when it comes to being rational about college football. "Well, USC is a better team than Tech because...." then he rattles off 900 rivals.com recruiting rankings, 600 head to head matchups, compares coaching, compares home field advantage, analyzes the decibel levels of the stadium, etc etc. Cool, USC has hotter cheerleaders. That must extend to the talent of their football program. Or, "Well, USC is a better team than Oregon State and if they played 100 times on a neutral field, USC would win 85 of them. Fine and dandy, Colin, but you're forgetting one key point: USC only has one chance to play OSU this year. They blew it. You can talk all you want about what might happen if they played another decade worth of games this season against them, but it's a moot point, because they won't. Or, "OU should still be ranked #1 over UT because they're a better football team. If they played another 9 times against em, OU would win 7!" Again, that's why they're out there playing the games and you're sitting behind a microphone talking to overweight middle aged guys driving to work. You don't, and shouldn't ever be voting in any top 25 The internet is even worse. Screw having any knowledge of football, you just need a brain functional enough to open a blogspot.com account to spread your idiocy to the rest of America. It also helps having a few bucks to throw at Google to get your URL to jump up to the top of their search engine. At least ten years ago, the dumbasses were relegated to local sports talk radio and the back page of local newspapers, where only a small portion of the population had to be influenced in thought by their stupidity. Now you can get stupid anywhere and everywhere, and it's causing people to actually think a three loss Auburn team is better than a 1 loss Missouri team, and should be ranked higher -------------------- |
