We beat both teams in the conference championship game. We could have been there. Looking forward to having the extra talent and see how far we can go. Raider Power at a different level. GO TECH!!!!
Just hoping we can turn it into a Big 12 title. It’s refreshing as a 20+ year Texas Tech fan to see us reaching for greatness and being taken seriously. $$$ talks and we got oil money flowing! Or at the very least, money flowing like the oil in West Texas!
As one who’s been around since we had “Moore excitement” lol (iykyk) I’m seriously jacked about where this puts us. Now just hoping we don’t “typical Tech” our way to an underachieving result.
I will remain cautiously optimistic. Pridefully Skeptical. Red Raider for 40 years. Reserving judgement and sanity until we see what is placed on the field. It that amount of time I’ve learned that Tech has the ability to, well, do what Tech does. TCU, Baylor, Colorado….ACU… 🤷♂️
Okay, Level, at some point, you're gonna have to let Joey know he said it all wrong previously. Starting next season, ain't NOBODY running through Lubbock...it's a GUNS UP WORLD fellas!!!
About time we might not look like the smallest team in the power 4 next year. Joey is saying to himself “Merry Christmas Raider family” with this portal session
I know Wood said he usually runs a base 3-4, but I could almost see his base here as a 4-2-5 just bc of all the DB'S added from the portal. Just add a DE, or maybe two, and he'd have a good front 7.
Assuming no more additions or subtractions from the roster, who would be the starting inside receiver next year? Would you move a guy like Eakin or Virgil inside or would it be a young player that we haven't seen much of like Kelby Valsin?
I like how Joey turned around the Micah loss. We will loose one “5” star but add these guys. Honestly in the portal era does a 5 star recruit really matter anymore.
I am one who has never been impressed with 5 star, 4 star etc ratings. I would much rather see a young player who has the basic skill set, drive, heart, and the ability to be coached up.
Tech still needs at least an above average QB for any of this to matter. The most important piece is QB play and they don't have it right now. Either the Freshman is going to have to breakout or grab a kid from the portal that can elevate those around him. That Wake Forest kid ain't it. None the less, I really hope TTU wins the Big 12 next year!
It's like a broken record playing with Texas Tech. They hype up how well they do in the offseason and then disappoints in the actual season. Im not getting any hopes up. Alumni have been saying that since the end of the Mike Leach days.

Beef money lol?

Same!

One win away from playing in the B12 championship this year… hopefully the pieces you added don’t let what happened at TCU happen again
That was a ridiculous loss. Still totally torques me.

Love the portal additions so far..but would love a big running back
Here's a question...
Of these new portal additions, how many are NFL level talent?
I know Wood said he usually runs a base 3-4, but I could almost see his base here as a 4-2-5 just bc of all the DB'S added from the portal. Just add a DE, or maybe two, and he'd have a good front 7.
we got better than other teams in our conference did. Are we better overall? Idk but I’m hyped and I’ll take 3 or 2 loss season
I don't know. This is literally unreal!! Scenes from several blockbuster movies!!
Expectations may need to get higher. This is beyond exciting!!!!
Kicker?
Big RedRaider fan here can't wait to see these jolly Red&Black giants
Tech excitement to Tech disappointment. Story of my life for years...maybe this will be the year.
Its a freaking crime that we are having this kind of offseason already and we have to wait 9 months to even tasted the reality of this situation...
Assuming no more additions or subtractions from the roster, who would be the starting inside receiver next year? Would you move a guy like Eakin or Virgil inside or would it be a young player that we haven't seen much of like Kelby Valsin?
Add an Edge and one more OL. Injuries happen, depth
Well Lubbock finally has a pro football team.
High hopes😊
