Thanks, Dick, for your arrogant, asinine, and selfish blogpost (paid by the Houston Chronicle) as to why Mike Leach should stay in Lubbock.

As much as I feel this is a slap in the face to the Red Raiders, imagine if you were a Baylor or A&M fan.

It will be sweet "Justice" when Baylor defeats UT in 3 years.

Maybe Dick Justice could also get a little more updated on the negotiations and discover that Myers is no longer a part of it.

Here are the stats for the two teams Tech and OSU have played in common this year.

As evidenced by the numbers, Tech has outgained their opponents by an average 213.5 yards this season and held them to an average 113 yards less per contest.

Against A&M, OSU had 2 defensive INTs returned for TDs and one punt returned for a TD.  Seems this made the difference  between their "blowout" of A&M and Tech's "struggle."  The numbers do not support OSU as lining up and playing better on either side of the ball in either contest.

OSU did have 112 more rushing yards between the 2 games, but it is somewhat dwarfed by Tech having 539 more passing yards...

The battle in the trenches will never be more important than in this game. 
Let's prove we're no longer susceptible to the "bad loss" that Seth wrote so much about this preseason! 
WRECK 'EM TECH!

I saw this on the front page of Yahoo.

Not 12 hours after the biggest victory in school history and the T-Sip media machine is out to discredit Tech and Lubbock.  I can't believe this is what Yahoo is running on its front page.

Seriously, is Lubbock the first place counterfeiters have ever swindled would-be ticket buyers?  I had a friend get taken for $2k on Super Bowl tickets in Houston not long ago...this is not something new.

Trust me, it is a shame that so many people were taken advantage of by these profiteers, but there are many reputable firms (stubhub guarantee for instance) if you want a guaranteed seat.  It's no fun to sweat as a ticket is being scanned and pray for its authenticity...

My question is, how did 500 people get swindled?  The tickets were bid up to easily over $300/seat on all the sites before kickoff.  If you were offered tickets for substantially less than this, wouldn't you be skeptical?

I was walking down 4th Street 3 hours before the game just shuffling between friends' tailgates.  While I was in front of the Double-T shop, I overhead a discussion and watched a T-Sip pull out $300 from his wallet for a PAIR of tickets from a questionable looking seller.  I wish I could remember his face because that was DEFINITELY one of the counterfeits.

Keep things like this in the back of your minds RaiderNation.  They don't want Lubbock at the college football apex, but let's not let it deter us from our ultimate goal!
