Open Game Thread: K-State vs. Texas Tech

that we might have a chance in this one. I think if Gregory starts and our pass defense shows up to play, plus if Harold starts and provides some pass rushing we could really have a fighting chance.

However, I’m also guilty of senseless optimism.

Their defense officially sucks. Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech are going to light them up like a Christmas tree.

And Suh will make Reesing his personal golf tee. My fears about a KU North title are diminishing by the week.

Let’s kick this shit off!

before my next flight. I demand excellent descriptions of the action while I deboard this flight and go find a coffee.

I demand satisfaction!!!

Too cold for Texans?

Can only help us, I guess.

Stuffed Tech run on 3rd and short.

Terrible tackling

Gettin’ loud…

False start. Movin’ back.

GOOD FOR A WILDCAT FIRST DOWN!

GOOD FOR A WILDCAT FIRST DOWN!

Tech seriously has NINE in the box. Great check by GG.

GOOD FOR A WILDCAT FIRST DOWN!

Movin’ on back…

Bill didn’t like what he saw. This drive is so crucial.

Come on, defense. Put up more of a fight than you did last time.

Bill’s comment about rushing 1 and dropping 10 might not have been far from the truth.

Tech runs off tackle for like 40 yards.

Fuck this.

P.S. Harold is not 100 percent. Pretty slow looking, actually.

LATE flag for offensive pass interference.

Big break.

Maybe we can force a FG. But probably not.

This one is pretty much over if we don’t score soon.

Boots a squeaker to mid-field somehow on the run.

Dipshit.

Sheffield throws his first incompletion.

Had Calvin in his face. Amazing what happens when you get a little pressure.

Plus Leach was trying to go for the jugular on that one.

This is painful.

Poor coverage + missed tackles by Hartman, Pomele and Moore = FML

why would tech not pass on every down

Damn, that kid can play. They should stop picking on him.

Only their second of the game. False start.

4th and goal at the 2.

We actually forced a FG attempt.

That’s a win, considering what good field position we gave them.

Still gets to the 25.

Offense: Something? Please?

At least he learned not to underthrow it for an INT. Still say he has a better arm than Coffman.

Tech looks a LOT faster than us on D.

Then Gregory takes a big sack. This is going to get ugly.

Bad news: Kick doesn’t even make it to the 50. The frenzied squib was better. Sad.

What, did Texas take the week off to prep for OU?

Batch runs over four KSU defenders.

Need another year of bench pressing, I guess.

Maybe the first time all night a K-State guy has stopped a play right next to him.

Britton hauls it in at the 5

Butler is having a truly awful game.

24-0 bad guys.

…and I left the charger at work on Friday. Don’t really want to see the texts I’ll have piled up by Monday morning.

You are no longer in the ACC. Please drop the soft zone and start getting aggressive. We have nothing to lose at this point.

Unless you are just playing safe to keep the score down. In which case, we are even worse than I think we are.

…we’re seeing that we still have a loooooooooong way to go. Go get another beverage of your choice, something stiff, I hope, and keep ‘em coming until you can’t pick yourself up off the couch (not that BOTC advocates irresponsible drinking…)

Yeah, Bill’s just trying to get out of Lubbock before we give up 50.

Tap out.

Jeez, Ryan, that might have been nice a few drives ago, before Tech got up by four scores.

Picked on Moore again. Burned and falls down. 60+ yards. 31-0

We could give up 70.

Defensive Player of the Week = Suh

Our first 1st down since the first drive of the game, I think.

Sack.

Starting to look that way… Not even sure we can net a FG.

…and they have 360 total yards and it’s not even halftime.

GG needs to get rid of the ball better than he is.

And the game just cut out. Wonderful.

…with 93 seconds left. Plenty of time to get over 400 total yards in the first half.

The worst part? We know Leach won’t take his foot off the pedal. This is going to be a historic beating.

They had it, but he dropped it. Leach wants 80, apparently.

Garrett was the one burned there.

coming back to reality really really hurts

Hope these guys remember this in the years to come. We’re officially in development time now.

Goddammit. We have officially thrown in the towel.

I take no offense to Leach going pedal-to-the-metal for AT LEAST half the game… If we don’t come out and score immediately 3rd quarter, then it becomes “ease up a bit” time.

IMO

…Colorado leads Texas, 14-3, with one minute left in the first half.

we are getting our tails kicked left and right.

I miss the 1st half to have an anniversary dinner with my wife and come home to 0-38?? I’m holding you responsible. I don’t think I have the mojo to bring us all the way back. Lets go.

He won’t be any better than GG behind this line. Plus he throws picks.

See? If GG throws that to Lamark, it’s a catch.

That was beyond the pale.

Told you he is worse.

FITZGERALD!!!!!!!!!!!!

PICK SIX!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO SHUTOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FAIL.

(Looks at score)

Aaaaaaghhhhh

(Pokes himself in eye with unity candle)

I was just thinking our D would come up. Game’s not over.

…which is a shame, because I’d love to have some discussion about that pick-six by Jeffrey Fitzgerald.

Don’t call it a comeback. Because it’s not.

and didn’t make the trip to Lubbock.

OMGWTFROFL.

Kid can tackle. Kid needs to play.

I see that Idaho is 4-1 this year. Maybe I’ll be their fan now.

How was Kass at LB?

come on, can’t we put some wood on the QB when he’s running around?

52-0

Sheffield for Offensive Player of the Year at this rate.

How many sprints will the defensive coaches run tonight?

And then bangs up his knee.

OMG YOU BASTARDS YOU KILLED KENNY!!!

And the QB carousel continues.

CC will get the start next week, throw 3 picks, and we’ll be right back to GG again. This is 2001 all over again.

CC got bumped so of course he falls down…

2nd & goal from the 3, no score. Why didn’t we just keep running?

Great. Just great.

59-7.

One more and Sheffield will tie Symons’ record of 8.

And Moore is just not right this season. Smoked like a fine Cuban cigar on that one.

I wish we could just inflict some physical punishment in return for this beatdown. That’s what I’m ready to do right now.

As long as we can keep the spread over 49 pts, we’ll have the biggest loss in college football today.

any silver lining to this terrible debacle?

challenging 7 yds ahead by 52 pts??

15 yard penalty on TD + 15 yard penalty (roughing the snapper – LOL!) on XP = kicking off from the Tech 40

Heh.

Did Prince ever yield 717? Sheesh.

Please, baby Jesus, make it stop.

done to him by Snyder? I can’t really recall seeing Tech do this to other teams… perhaps I just never pay attention to the TTU final scores………?

Shoo-in for Player of the Week

Single digit penalty quantity?

On defense poor tackling, absolutely no pressure on the qb, defensive backs looking in on single coverage with no deep safety help over the top and getting smoked to the end-zone. Players standing around at the line trying to make arm tackles on rbs instead of taking their gap assignment. On special teams we had no real returns of significance almost looked like banks was stuck in a quagmire trying to wait for the wall to punch holes for the return. Note to the coaches get him on the perimeter with space and let him create chaos with his feet. On offense no qb protection, coffman is just too inaccurate, gregory looked befuddled, more dropped passes, passes behind receivers, passes in the dirt, the stands, to cheerleaders…you fill in something here for fun. I am not sure why we don’t adopt an NFL approach to our running game and have both Thomas and Valentine alternate? The combo would be hard to stop. Where oh where have the slant passes gone? Receiver screens? Wheel routes? Our third down play calling is just bad. Why are we running the “wildcat” on 3rd and 8 in the middle of the field? Seriously did we think Tech wouldn’t see that coming? The report card on this game is not going to be pretty.

Now I know how some of our non-con fans felt in the late 90’s.
