*****GAME THREAD: Texas Tech Red Raiders @ Texas Longhorns*****

[HornSports Staff]

The Texas Longhorns (6-5, 4-4) are coming off back-to-back losses for the first time this season as they head into the Thanksgiving Week matchup against the Texas Tech Red Raiders (4-7, 2-5).  It’s been a season of under-performance and underachieving for Texas after a 10-win season last year, but a win against Texas Tech would cap the regular-season on a positive note.  With rumors of potential staff changes swirling on the 40 Acres, all eyes will be on how this football team executes the game-plan. Texas will honor 16 seniors who will play their final game at Darrell K. Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium prior to kickoff.

The Longhorns are 1-1 against the Red Raiders under Tom Herman and defeated Texas Tech 41-34 in Lubbock last season. Texas is 8-2 over their last 10 meetings with Tech, and 17-6 against the Red Raiders since the two schools joined the Big 12.

Man, I remember when Christmas and Wilbon signed. Seems like yesterday and so much potential and optimism.

 

[drgilbert]

So Sam’s indecision kills our first drive and now the D sucking ass again 

 

[primal defense]

Another opening drive for a TD. Not a good start for Orlando.

 

[dillohorn]

Who says the D is improving. Same ole same ole to me.

 

[TexCoyote]

CDC needs to look at this crowd today because it’s the biggest one he’s going to see for awhile. Spending all that money to expand the stadium and put a non competitive product on the field it’ll start being about half full. I’d cut bait and start over myself 

 

[dillohorn]

Mensa forgoes the FG once again. Never learns. 

 

[dillohorn]

Keystone cop D. I swear.

 

[Drb522]

Yea, give the sob one more year.  

 

[TexCoyote]

Weak ass effort today. “We got to do a better job of getting them ready to play” 

 

[dillohorn]

Another TT TD. I've seen enough. Shame on UT if ANY coach on staff is retained. That includes Herman. Out.

 

[mctmatt]

This team is ready for the season to end . You can tell how they are playing . They do not want to go to a bowl game and they should not if Tech continues to out play them. I  believe many of the players just want to be done then make a decision as to transferring or not.

 

[The Tinman]

This team has mailed it in..just going through the motions.

 

[DMAC]

Dont worry guys im speaking for NTG.

Stop being negative and focus on the positive.  We are going to wipe the floor Tech any moment now.

 

[TexCoyote]

At least we’re going to win the most penalty battle again today. 

 

[DMAC]

Herman wins the...

Do less with more award!

This is embarrassing.

 

[DMAC]

We are awake now!

Let the fun begin

 

[TexCoyote]

This shit is embarrassing
