Beat a top ten team on the road without one of your 3 best players

Yeah, the Old Fold & Blew really missed an inconsistent junior college scorer who was replaced by another inconsistent junior college scorer, considering that the replacement appears to have had the game of his life, according to his stats, anyway. Good for you: You beat an overrated team that is 6-5 in the overrated Big 12, and 2-5 vs. ranked opponents. I'm surprised that you weren't donating a kidney or otherwise serving your fellow man instead of watching dubya pee you last night...not really.
I've been surprised all year by Texas Tech's lofty ranking. Doesn't really make sense.
Here's their 14 wins:
Northwestern State
Sam Houston State
Troy
Grambling
Abilene Christian
Texas A&M - Corpus Christy
Incarnate Word
Oklahoma (twice)
Kansas State (twice)
Iowa State
Texas
LSU
9 of their 14 wins are against Quad 3 and Quad 4 opponents, with 7 of them against Quad 4 (stiffs)
4-5 against Quad 1 opponents.
That's not a nice thing to say about your wife. She tried to please me, after all. As for Ohio State's high ranking, it is justified by its resume. I don't think that Ohio State is the fourth/fifth best team in the Nation, but it has earned its lofty ranking. The Buckeyes have beaten more ranked teams than any other school in the Country, and reeled off eight wins in its last nine games. Sorry that you can't accept cold hard facts and figures.
That was a solid win but don't expect KingPINHEAD or MichiganTerd to admit it. We all know if it had been either one of their teams that won in Lubbock last night that they would be crowing like a rooster at sunrise about how impressive it was.
Make-believe AAU coach doesn't realize that Beard overhauls most of his roster every season with transfers, and that the team that made it further than tHuggs ever has is completely different, personnel-wise, than the one that lost to Virginia in the title game. Jarrett Culver ain't walking through Beard's front door.
It was a solid win, Geezer. Now, what's your plan B...and I don't mean Medicare Plan B?
Maybe a solid win for you, but if it were Michigan delivering a beatdown, I would simply anticipate it, and move onto the next game. No need to gloat over beating someone like TT. Wouldn't gloat over beating WV either, as that too would be anticipated.
my lovely killer wife would laugh at you..... although I have to admit I married up......hint....there's a reason they call me Tripod
Only way you would be confused with a tripod is if they cut off your legs.
I agree. I've seen TT play a few times this year, and I just never saw them as being #7 in the nation. I watch mostly B1G teams, and to be honest, I'm not sure TT would be #7 in the B1G, much less the entire nation.
Even with 3 or 4 weeks till selection Sunday, I didn’t agree with the WVU-TT winner was for a #3 seed.
Baylor is the real deal and I think would run Gonzaga off the floor. After that, who knows who will even show up or get to play.

Texas Tech played one team with a pulse in nonconference, which was Houston, and the Cougars thumped the Red Raiders. It is benefiting from the Big 12's being overrated as a conference, as its most notable wins are over Texas and Oklahoma (x2). I wouldn't expect any team to run Gonzaga off of the floor. Few is too good of a coach to allow that to happen.
they are still listed as a bubble team on a couple of boards...the white rat sucks
