The Pirates face the cows...

As most people following college football may know, this weekend was the matchup of the #7 Texas Tech Raiders, v the #1 University of Texas Longhorns.

The day was ripe with opportunity for Tech to make a big showing on the national screen, including Game day being set up at Lubbock. Now, Raider fans are known for...well....being a bit brutal in their trash talk. There was signs at the college game day like "Colt? More like My little Pony!" and calling Mack "butter teeth". Also,"you can't spell Upset without UT." and less creative "Longhorns eat boogers." We aren't a classy lot, but we are clever....sometimes. I was excited.

They didn't do quite enough with Leech...so here's a little something...they showed his office, but this is a little background to it...

So the game, in case you missed it, was an upset special. Tech won, 39-33. Colt and the horns made a mad drive to take the lead at the end of the game, going up by one point, but leaving 89 seconds on the clock. that is about 30 seconds more than we normally need to drive the field. The game came down to a Harrell to Crabtree TD... Our two Heisman candidates (at least they are now.)

The Tech fans stormed the field, but they saved the goal post...










The excitement of it all was almost too much...
Now though, Tech ranks #2 in the nation...behind the Bama Crimson Tide. For now!

I hate your team and I am not going to give you your pics, but Congratulations anyways. The Halloween candy made me nausea, but the game made me sick!
