Traveling to Cincinnati to take my wife and son to their first tech game! Anyone know where the team is staying? I want to make it special for my family

West Virginian and WVU alum traveling to TX to visit an old WV friend living in Midland. We plan on attending the TexasTech/WVU game. It’s our first time attending an away game so we need advice and this seemed like the best route. What are some pubs locals (not students) usually go to grab beers before or during games? ..that responsible folks need to visit while in town.

We’re both 40+ with kids so nothing crazy. Any watering hole close by that yall recommend?

Also, any Recommendations for local pre or post game food? Not sure if Lubbock is known for anything particular. We don’t get together or out of the house often these days so any input is greatly appreciated!!

Play calling is absolutely horrendous this season!!!This team isn’t as stacked as it was last year on offense but the play calling sucks! Hammond is struggling but I can’t blame him because there’s no rhythm to the offense. When Hammond struggles they tell him to pass. When he gets hot they start running the ball. The RBs are good but this is the most frustrating offense I’ve seen in years! Fire Leftwhich and bring someone in that can actually call plays

When is enough enough? We can’t run the ball. We can’t throw the ball. We can’t game plan. We can’t scheme. No fucking life to this team. Thank god we have a defense or else we’d be losing. For him yesterday PLEASE. #LeftwhichOut

Hey guys! The season preview I posted here a few weeks back did pretty well, so circling back like I said I would.

I had you at 11-1, and called that the ceiling rather than the baseline because I thought the defense would give some back. So far you're 3-0: Abilene Christian 33-10, 35-24 at Oregon State, and 28-26 over Houston. But the defense that allowed 11.8 a game last year is at 20 so far, and Houston nearly made that cost you. Hammond has done what I said he'd need to, manage it rather than carry it: 63 of 87 for 744 yards and 3 TDs. The road trips to Colorado, Cincinnati and Baylor are still where 11-1 gets decided.

What are you guys seeing that the box scores aren't, and how do you see the season ending up?

Quick aside, we just launched a free weekly college football pick'em, $225 in prizes this week. Ten games, pick the winners, locks Saturday at noon ET, the same time you kick off against Sam Houston. Nothing to buy.

Mine is 10-2. I see the best case going 11-1 and the worst case going 9-3. I don’t see the team having an undefeated season. At 10-2 we probably get left out of the Playoff unless we win the Big 12 championship game.

The 2 games I think we lose are either of these: vs Arizona State, @ Oklahoma State, or vs West Virginia.

Will be very interesting to see how each team performs in the Oklahoma State @ West Virginia game this week.

Tech rising up from the doldrums of the 1st quarter. WreckEM

I live in Canada and don’t have access to Fox

Here are two scores I'm predicting for us to win:

38–10

OR

57–0 (this would set a new rivalry record for the largest margin of victory by either team in this rivalry)

What are your score predictions for tomorrow night? Comment them down below!

I will go first: Give me some good ones!

Allen (Texas) HS - QB Ty Snell

His play calling is predictable and basic. How many times can you call a run up the middle for 2 yards. Other than Jacoby, the rest of the team looks awful.

1. Wtf is this team? This team has many problems. Unbelievable
2. We got lucky as a team could possibly get. 90% of the Power 4 teams would have beat us today by 21 points or more. Imagine if we played Texas tonight after all the stupid shit talking we were doing in the offseason?!?! We almost lost a fumble and nearly threw 2 interceptions on our first offensive drive. Oregon State dropped a guaranteed TD pass in the first half and another dropped 50 yard pass at the start of the 3rd. The luck in this game for us was insane
3. Joyner is slow and a total idiot for that unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Williams is our best RB and we lose this game without him
4. Will Hammond looks just as immobile as Behren Morton was last season. Not surprising coming off the ACL injury but I don’t think he ever returns to the running ability he had last season. I like the times we have used Thomas Castellanos though
5. O-Line looks horrible. No push on inside runs. Pocket collapsed on Hammond multiple times. They’re almost all senior guys with large size it doesn’t make sense. Guess this is a coaching problem?

6. We should all be SUPER concerned about the secondary. Their WRs were running right by all our DBs. #3 Peyton Morgan should never see the field again. We let their freshman WR total 240 receiving yards

7. Micah Hudson is a no show again just like last week. But thank you for the unsportsmanlike penalty in the 4th quarter

8. What is Terrance Carter Jr’s status?? Did anyone know he was injured before this game started?

Native West Texan who just moved to Oregon last month (I’ve lived in the PNW for the past 8 years). I want to go to the OSU vs. Tech game today. Do Tech fans show up to tailgate this far? It would be fun to meet some Texans up here!

Last time I recall us playing on CBS we lost to Wyoming.

Last time we played a Pac 12 opponent on the road was against Washington State and we lost. It was Week 2 also

Just some strange coincidences

Also those who have not heard Terrance Carter Jr is out

Edit: It gets better. We’re even wearing the same jerseys we wore against Washington State

Traveling for work. Wanting to watch the game and would love to be around more red raiders in Spokane!

Yeah yeah, Mack playcalling was bad, RZ issues persist, KO TD was horrible. That said let’s look on bright side for a bit, what impressed you

Leftwich is showing the same failures of efficiency as last year.

He is quoted saying he'd rather
"score from the 50" rather than having to manufacture long drives"

Sounds like he don't want to call short plays. Unless it's 3rd down then he likes to put it 3 yards behind the line.

The offensive will drive down the field averaging more than 5 or 6 yards a carry. Then when he gets in the redzone. He decides to throw it 3 times in a row and then kick a field goal.

Rinse and Repeat.

He needs to be reigned in on his play calling in the redzone.

He had months to fix this. Then he does the exact same thing he did all last season.

He needs to go

I’m gonna go ahead and get this in before we have our first Whining Joey Post Loss Presser of the season (I can already hear the “you’re either with us or against us”). “The Brand” as it is right now is pretty terrible outside of the fact that they’ve been winning (recruiting and on the field). We had to give up one of our favorite traditions, the stadium name was changed to pretty much EVIL CORP, the field looks like a nascar jacket, and worst of all the ENTIRE universities good name and integrity was drug through the mud because of Sorsby debacle. If the winning stops the vibes will get rotten FAST.
