Ticket Selling FanPost for the Week :: 09.29.09

by Boarder on Sep 29, 2009 11:52 AM EDT Comment 16 comments

Seth, I went ahead and posted this week's Ticket Selling Fanpost and copied your rules from previous weeks. I hope that's all right.

Only a few rules.

1. No ticket brokers.

2. This is not a place to try to make money, either face value or lower. We're here to help out other Red Raiders.

3. Once you've found a buyer, trade contact information and get it hooked up.

Go Red Raiders!

Tech Removed from Accreditation Probation

by Boarder on Dec 9, 2008 2:17 PM EST Comment 6 comments

I loved when a few people twisted what happened and said that Tech was no longer accreditated with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. Glad the paper work snafu got cleared up though. GO TECH!

Some Advice from Baylor to A&M

by Boarder on Nov 21, 2008 11:52 AM EST Comment 4 comments

This is a great and relatively short article that starts out talking football in Texas. It then goes on to include a section written by a Baylor fan directed at A&M fans/alumni on how to handle being the worst team in the Big 12. A good read and some of the tactics suggested are spot on to what we've seen.

Phil Steele Picks Tech to Win (again)

by Boarder on Nov 6, 2008 9:35 AM EST Comment 0 comments

Phil Steele picks Tech to win this weekend against OSU. He has picked us to win the last two games (Kansas and UT) so lets hope he is on the ball again for the 3rd week.

Phil Steele Top 25 Picks

Half of the reason I'm putting this up is also for myself, I did it last week and we won so you bet I'm gonna do it again.

Tech Gets Another Recruit

by Boarder on Nov 6, 2008 1:16 AM EST Comment 2 comments

Romario Cathey, a 6'3 270 pound defensive tackle out of Maplewood, TN committed to Tech. I wasn't able to check (no subscriptions) whether he was a three or four star recruit so maybe someone could look into that for me.

I like where this is going.

Tech Recruitment

by Boarder on Nov 4, 2008 8:13 PM EST Comment 9 comments

I was actually thinking about this last weekend after the game. With all the high school recruits who were at the game, along with it being nationally televised, how big of an impact do you think Tech's win had on our recruitment? DTN has kept us up to date with the two recent four star recruits choosing Tech (one even decommitting to commit to Tech). I truely think this win will help sway some young minds towards Tech. If we beat OSU this week, it should make Tech look like an even better choice. I'm glad to see we're getting consistent three and four star recruits. GO TECH

UT Fans Acting like Aggies

by Boarder on Nov 3, 2008 12:44 PM EST Comment 6 comments

I'm really really suprised by this. I honestly did not think that UT fans would be acting the way they are. Over at Burnt Orange Nation, I have read in one, just one, thread about how low class we are, how Lubbock is full of STDs, how a Tech fan came up and supposely slapped some girl that was with a UT guy for no reason (right), and finally how violent we all are, oh and we also throw batteries. On Saturday and Sunday there was a lot of congratulations on both sides for an excellent game. Could these people possibly just be the T-Shirt fans who have no affiliation with UT or what happened in the past 12 hours? Just wondering if anyone else is noticing all this.

Annoying Ads on SBNation

by Boarder on Oct 30, 2008 10:14 AM EDT Comment 8 comments

Is anyone else becoming annoyed with the ads on all the blog pages? Like the kind that suddenly expand and take up half the screen and others where they hide the "close" button. I hate crap like that. Just wondering if I was the only one.

Kansas Game Not Sold Out

by Boarder on Oct 24, 2008 12:49 PM EDT Comment 4 comments

Does anyone else think it's strange that the Kansas game isn't sold out? I read this somewhere and just went to the KU website and went through the process of buying tickets and low and behold there really are tickets still available. I assumed this game would have been sold out long ago, it definitely would have been in Lubbock. What gives? Either the Kansas fans really aren't that interested in the team this year, they don't think much of Tech, or they think Tech will kill them. But if it was either of the last two you would still expect a sell out. I'm kind of insulted.
