are there to witness Tuberville's last game at head coach.

He won 7 games, he isnt going anywhere. Go be mad somewhere else.
Come on bsb
Look at the injuries. Tech is the only D1 school who has to play with injuries. And remember most of this is Leach's fault. And Tubs was just trying to help that GA off the field. And all these threads are orchestrated by the all powerful sinister Team Leach who, with like CIA mind control, has hundreds of thousands of mindless hoards who post on here just to badmouth the most honest man is the world, Kent Hance and his equally humble and honest best friend, Craig (ik5h) James.
@agallion
you really count the 3 OOC games? We've played 8 conf games. We've won 2 (bottom-halfers ISU and WVU) and tied 2 (bottom-halfers TCU and KU) ... and lost 4, including 3 absolute beatdowns (KSU, OSU, OU). While we are 4-4 in conf, a more accurate reading would be 3-5, which would be our record if we split the two OT games. There is a reason OSU was favored by 11 over TTU, and lowly BAY, w/ only 2 conf wins, is favored by 2, despite playing on a neutral field).
Let me put it another way. Since we beat OU last year, we've play 13 games, and won 4, and 2 of those were in OT. Meaning we were ahead in regulation in only 2 of 13 conf games. Pathetic.

Lets not confuse agallion with facts. If theres one thing the hancers hate it people like you that look at things realistically. The only thing that runs them off like chickens in a storm is asking them to discuss tubs' lie during the post game press conference after the Kansas game. It works every time, there is no answer, and their pride wont let them support a liar, therefore they just run,
@AJ
Please don't put stories like this in your headline, again. There is far more imporant news; the headline is just for that reason, worldwide.
elbycus gets it (or, why leeaches are WRONG, pt II)
Not only are the perception-of-reality and revisionist-history genes malfunctioning in the species leeachus indenialus, it appears they lack the ability to tell the truth, respond to facts, and are missing internal organs. This condition, known as gutless, involves behaviors such as: lying, bearing false witness, making false accusations, being hypocritical, all while hiding behind avatars. These invertebrates are often confused with left-wing liberal democrats; they are irrationally biased in favor of their guy while denying it (ELBY gets it) and are violently prejudiced against the other guy. (Brief interlude: I have no horse in the race, don't know either man personally. Would be great to share a case of Samuel Adams Winter Lager and talk football with them both!!). Remember Houston had 10 recruiting classes, 9 before firing, and the current staff only has 2 but needs to go. Just doesn't seem fair to me. And I don't read anyone promoting Hance here or see his name on the roster, so what has that to do with anything, and why is it a daily rallying cry if your not still dwelling on 3 years ago.
Pete
Eloquence, as you use it, is nothing more than drivel covered in lace. Fact is, I dont care what you think. Youre in the vast minority here and in public. Leach is not as relevant as Hance in these discussions. Funny that you mention the truth in a post where youve sprayed assumed fecal matter all over your post. There are, in fact, probably some "leachies" just as there are some "tubbies" that would defend tubs even if he were 0-10, primarily because they dont want the chancellor to look like an idiot in this matter. Look at the outcome, its too late. The fact that you havent seen anyone supporting mr hance is irrelevant, it has happened. Want a list? Nobody cares about Leach, hes gone. Hance is still here as is the coach mr hance said would "beat UT more than 20% of the time". Right now hes 0-3, and 0-3 against osu, and has a dreadful overall conference record (hancers insert used up lame excuse here). In conclusion you pointed a finger, so to speak, at people who are biased and then deny it. Thats your entire post. Dont lie, even though its who you are. Your post was all about bashing leach and leachies and, in doing so, praising tubs and the hancellor. Otherwise, explain your rancor. You were mad when you posted it. Things arent working out for your coach, so in a fit of frustration, you lash out at those who dont post pro hance rhetoric by calling them names, etc. The s.o.p. of the hance crowd for the past almost three years. In effect your post is propaganda with little to no reference to the current coach/team. Always a diversion from the daily tuberville reality. Congrats Peter, you sure chose a winner.
i think.....
Tubs needs to improve next year and the next. Gunz, we've improved from last year. Even though my expectations went through the roof when we was 6-1 I had the feeling that I was wrong but you had it down almost to a exact science. I dont like the "fact" that we've been blown out by 3 of the top 4 teams in the conference but we have beat the teams we were suppose to beat. It doesnt matter if we won in regulation or in OT when we should have won in regulation. A win is a win. Im optimistic when it comes to what Tech can accomplish if Tubs & Co. can develop the talent they are bringing in. Guys like Davis, Wheeler, Brewer, Ward, Starts, Lollar, & "Mr Scooter Smith". Hopefully, this recruiting class solves our pass rushing woes on Defense, add speed & depth with little drop off in talent in the secondary & Kaufman can implement blitz packages, stunts on the D-Line & zone schemes to help slow down our opponents. With Bell, Amaro, & hopefully Marquez returning next season we should NOT have a problem moving the ball next season with a "Mobile QB". NO EXCUSES!
improvement
yeah. everybody i know is sooo glad OSU just scored 59 points this year compared to 66 last year.
things just keep getting better & better as long as we can play those patsie teams first.
ps: this article has been the A-J headline for 5 days now. War in Israel, what war?
Goodbye Boneysuck
This Peter boneysuck fella reminds of posts seen at Washingtonpost.com or AustinLiberalStatesman.com.
Seems like he's shore full of hate. Don't think he heard that Coach X has been gone three years.
Oh. I get it: George W. Bush is responsible for the ills of our nation from 2008 to 2012 and Coach X is responsible for the continued blowout losses at Texas Tech.
I think I just figured out Boneysuck.
Questions for Peter Bennyshock
What years were you in Lubbock? What was your major? What building housed your major courses? Who were your favorive instructors or professors? What was your favorite hangout in Lubbock? What was your favorite restaurant in Lubbock? Were you a member of any social of academic organizations? Which? Who was your favorite womens basketball player in Lubbock during the time you were in Lubbock?
Quick.
@Runninsked, Coyote, Lodotx, Facts, and Gunz
If Tech miracuously beats Baylor and a bowl team, Tubs will be gone. He will actually return to his beloved SEC.
In that scenario, I don't think Chancellor Himself or his cronies would interfere in the hiring process. (They were too lucky to get away with their last interference--should have cost accreditation.)
I think if the opportunity arises, I am in favor of hiring a coach without head coaching experience. You would get a younger type who would surround himself with younger assistants, etc. (And I'm definitely not young.) And, of course, you would pay less.
I'm not thinking of Kliff, but certainly he would deserve consideration.
At any rate, I'm hoping that Tubs "Wins Out."
The boy AD would not fire him in the presence of 7-6.
@red
Unfortunately, the boy AD would not do anything without asking for Hance's permission.
I hope that tuber is gone irregardless of what Tech does against Baylor.
The SEC, or the manure pile, is a good place for tuber. Anywhere but at Tech.
Where are all the WSU & WVU arguments?!!!
So why isn't anyone arguing how well WSU and WVU are doing? I can guarantee that if WSU was winning that would be one of the arguments, or things brought up on this website. Just like people who still support Coach "X" were bragging about WVU and Holgerson, until the wheels fell off. He runs the same offense, so why are they both losing? Everyone said he was a great coach and we should have hired him. You guys don't like analizing the facts, or as you call them looking at "excuses". So what excuses do we have for those two programs? Losing is losing according to you guys. Let me know if you figure it out. Go Tech!!
@al in Alabama
Probably the main reason is that we are talking about Tech and its problems, not other schools.
@al in alabama
You said what most of the people commenting on this blog was posting onhere before the season started. WVU will beat us by 50, Dana should've been hired instead of Tubs, & so on.
Al
Aint it aggravating when we wont let you deflect the topic from tuberville to a coach who hasnt been here for three years. It completely blows up your hancer agenda. "Hey guys look over here! Look at how bad the winningest coach in Tech history is doing now. Stop looking at how bad a hire Tuberdoodie was, it makes uncle kent upset!"
@ haters feaco, coyote, frf & red
Hey haters, dream all you want but hance isn't going anywhere and looks like tubberville isn't either. Stop crying and acting like bittermen. Tech can get to 9 wins, maybe maybe not. You stooges sound like a bunch of babies looking for some milk from mommy.
Facts you are the king of flipflop. You love the team at beginning of year and halfway thru, then after 4 losses you do a 360 and cheer for your old agenda like coyote, red, lodotxA&M, feaco and Suzy. Same stooges posting the same agenda 3 years later. Why not just go to wash ST website and cry them a river, they would love you stooges about now
Bill
Bill youre still irrelevant. Youre still uneducated. Youre still no more than a misinformed t-shirt fan who cant even spell. You tried to be a hancer. They wouldnt even have you. I feel sorry for you. It must be difficult waking up every day in over your head. Not here, but in life.
Fire Tubby---- HIRE KLIFF!!!
The Subject line says it all.
@bill214
Is that today's Spaeth line. I don't know about the others, but I love the tech team. I can't stand Hance and his cronies encluding tuber.
Feaco
Ive got a theory about bill which might surprise you. Feaco, bill is a Leacher. Hes been planted on these boards by other leachers. His goal? To make other hancers look stupid. I know, feaco, hancers dont need help looking stupid. But think, feaco, of all the folks that post here, do any of them appear as unoriginal and uneducated as bill? I think bill is a double agent leacher spy.
@coyote @bill214
im laughing too hard at you guys. You two need to meet in person, have a sit down & talk this out.
Coyote the next time you say
Coyote the next time you say anything that is correct will be your first. So feaco we get you, coyote, facts, lodotxA&M, red and Suzy don't like hance. Why do you complain everyday or every article on here about that? Do you think it will do anything?
That was hilarious
@bill, i want you to know you made me laugh. The next time I say something correct, will be my first. How can I possibly top that? @runnin, I would never meet bill in person, he would beat me up in his tech t-shirt. @feaco, yeah feaco, do you think it will do anything?
@ coyote
I can promise you that you are 100% wrong on everything you have said about me. That is pretty funny and a little clever for you about the tshirt though
Waste of money
To buy tickets to any Texas Tech athletic team.
Just sad and pathetic how Kent Hance has ruined out athletic department.
The Line on Anything Tech
While most are "pushing through" another season, the continued "drivel" by those who have the most to anguish and scream about, always seems to take a front row. Furthermore, they are not happy enough unless everyone knows just how much they disapprove of anything. If it's not Leach, it's Hance. If it's not Hance, it's Tuberville. All are the truth of what is wrong in the world of Texas Tech. Truth be told, they don't like the regents, logo on the field, the brick or the roof tiles on the buildings. Thank God the powers that be are not asking for approval from this bunch, but then again, maybe we should. But the truth is, they would bemoan their own decisions. I always have trouble reading the AJ for Tech coverage, and beyond that, the comments are fodder for good entertainment. And I know if I think it's humorous, Kent Hance will get a good chuckle as well. As an old chemistry professor of mine used to say, "Too many folks around here have diarrhea of the mouth, and constipation of the brain".
Youre right RBD
Things have never been better.
