I decided to sort draftees by team to see exactly what guys got drafted from Tech and had an idea.  I went through and pulled down every Big 12 team to see how many each had drafted this year.  Here's the breakdown:

Missouri - 5
Oklahoma - 4
Tech - 4
UT - 2
A&M - 2
Nebraska - 1
Oklahoma State - 1
Kansas St - 1
Baylor - 1
Kansas - 0
Colorado - 0
Iowa St - 0

Not really surprised at the bottom teams aside from the spectacular fall from greatness Nebraska has suffered.  More interesting is the top 5.  Tech having twice as many draftees as UT and the same number of OU?  Unheard of.  Although these never predict success in the NFL, it is a nice indication of the upward trend of Tech football.  Let's keep it going.

RAIDER POWER!!

I was having a conversation with my brother on the phone today about how the last Coaches Poll shook out and something hit me.  Why is Oklahoma ranked #5 and not #2?  Here's my reasoning based on logic (put aside your subjective hatred for the time being).  If the BCS title game is TRULY between the best two teams in the nation, as defined by the hallowed BCS ranking system, AND the coaches are forced to vote the winner as #1, why are they also not compelled to rank the loser #2?  Does logic not dictate this?

Watching Monday Night football and they flashed a commercial for the Heisman trophy presentation show.  The only people mentioned on this particular commercial were Harrell, Bradford, Tebow and McCoy.  But, apparently that seems to mean that Harrell is a finalist.

GO TECH!

Hate to do this but...

Think OU will put together a website called www.935-922.com?

After fast-forwarding through the UT/A&M game last night just to check out the train wreck, I found myself once again managing the struggle between my id and superergo.  My id says we should put together the most negative, wide-spread campaign against all things UT football highlighting the appropriate 39-33 headline.  My superego tells me to rise above the level of the logic-challenged brain that is the UT fan.
In case you missed it...
As I was fast-forwarding, I saw some dude in a UT t-shirt on the sideline with a headset on. I hit play and it appeared he was a (the?) UT student who either put together the 45-35.com site or put together a Facebook group of the same name.  Not sure.  Didn't feel like rewinding and having to tolerate the dude any more than I had to.  So here is ABC, giving full coverage to this guy in the middle of the game...not a football player, not a coach...just so he could shill the whole 45-35 concept.  When the guys in the booth asked him about the fact that Tech beat them he said something along the lines of (paraphrasing) "if they were as intelligent and as politically active as us maybe they could put something together that is as good"...blah, blah, blah.  Don't remember the rest.
So not only do they have a completely baseless campaign going that drives my math brain crazy, ABC was nice enough to give them the biggest stage in America on Thursday night to push that agenda.
But, despite all of that, the superego again pushes aside the id as it does for so many of my level-headed brethren that share this site.  Let the chips fall as they may.

GO TECH!
