Except for some sloppy ball-handling from Darko, Davis, and Tairu, I couldn’t be happier with the way we’re playing. Obviously Herb Pope’s punch to Darko’s groin and subsequent ejection was the defining event. Tech went on a 13-0 run after the play, and that equals our lead at this point.

1. Never let great talent leave the state, Nebraska is desolate for talent so when a good player comes around you have to land him.
2. Develop a “system” where talent can flourish and help the team.

Mack will not want us to face UCLA & Tech back to back so early in the season. He also wouldn’t want UCLA game pushed to later in the season when we just got done with a murderer’s row of BIG XII teams. My guess is we push the game back to another year. SUCKS!
I think we’ll be great next year, but Gilbert will have some of a learning curve. I do NOT want to play such good teams so early in the slate. If we can push UCLA to later in the year, I’m all for it.

No f’ing way the UCLA game is dropped.

If they move the UCLA game to later in the year, that kind of sucks for us. The heat always helps.

This was brought up on local squawk yesterday with a guy who covers Tech. He said it wasn’t final but the Tech schedule page was mentioned because Tech now finishes its conference schedule on November 13 and closes the season with two n-c games, Weber State (replacing TCU) and UH.
As part of the deal, TCU supposedly is playing UCLA on the 18th. But nothing’s been said about the Texas game concerning a change of date or pushing back the game. Looking at the schedule, it could be the 20th of November if Arizona State can juggle its schedule (as ASU is supposed to play UCLA that weekend). The only school that has announced its change is Tech.
rickvigorous said:

interesting dilemma. I would prefer not having the conference schedule interrupted by a date w/ a difficult non-con.
I can’t see how this benefits Tech’s chances of actually winning the game. They seem to start as slow as anyone in the conference, and do they really want to be (theoretically) two games behind the presumed division favorite before conference play even really gets going?

I don’t get it. Swapping dates gives the Big 12 a good game for TV in September, but is TT/UT really more attractive than UT/UCLA? And dropping TT/TCU takes a good TV game away, as does dropping UT/UCLA, if it isn’t rescheduled to another date in 2010. What is driving this?

Interesting to say the least. While the timing of this years TTU v. UT game benefitted Texas, because it was Pott’s first road start. I have got to think moving the game to September will benefit Tech because it will be Gilberts first start. It will be interesting to see what the UT defense looks like in September without Kindle and Houston.
Apparently, when Leach was in Bristol for his “car wash” ESPN discussed another September game between UT vs. TTU. This is more of an ABC/ESPN thing than it is a Texas Tech/UT thing. History has shown that what ESPN wants, ESPN gets.
Roach said:

The contract is for a 2004 game in Lubbock, a 2006 game in Fort Worth and games in 2010 and 2011 (Fort Worth).
So if I understand this right. Tech agreed to a one home game for three road games swap with a WAC team? Either that quote is wrong or Tech’s scheduler is the biggest moron I’ve ever seen.

USC sucks balls this year and they’re ranked 11th. UCLA isn’t even getting a single vote in the AP. Texas could play SC and TT back to back and be ok, fuck the UCLA angst. May as well push Gilbert into the deep end early anyway, I think the kid has what it takes to rise to the occasion, and we’ll still have a Muschamp coached D to back him up.
And Tim, everybody wondered how our defense would get along without Orakpo. We’ve managed. We’r going to have a more experienced secondary next year than what we have now. You’re fucked next year and probably the next 6 or 7 until your next scheduled upset.

I personally don’t think there is any way in hell DeLoss agrees to move the UCLA game to accomodate Tech, especially given Gilbert’s inexperience. They’ll want him to get some seasoning before playing a conference game in a crackerbox. We don’t need money that bad. So fuck GM and his manipulative public relations fiascos.

That’s an awful lot of confidence from a team that lost at home to A&M by 20+ points recently. We beat you this year without an offense so why would next year be any differently?
If Gilbert is still inexperienced it will be a 10-17 point win. If he is in mid season form you lose by 27-31.
Either way, you lose. But you should be used to that feeling by now.
