This from a old 1971 Tech grad retired in East Texas. Happy we got to go see the game. Pretty cold, but when your winning it feels pretty good. Might be the last time I see Tech in person. Guns up!
As a T-sipper, it does my heart good to see Tech bounce back from the beating they took in Austin and show that they are a good team with a lot to look forward to next year.
Can’t wait to see how Texas does next year in the SEC. I’m a huge College Football fan. My team is Texas A&M, but I’m also not too proud to give credit where it’s due. I hope UT wins it all this year.
@@MrTurner94 Texas has been on a revenge tour for all their losses last year. We Could have beaten Washington last season, but a couple of our star players opted not to play in favor of the draft. I think a lot of our stars are hanging around through the CFP.
@@brunsbruns2377 _Nice win against a scraps collection..._ Waah, waah You'd say that no matter what happened, right? What are you even being here for then? LOL, who is worse, "scraps collections" or _YOU_ for watching a youtube video about supposed "scraps collections"? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
_I wonder if Mendoza's injury got to him. You could see his frustration on the sidelines!_ I think it was more frustration with his errors. It's like he threw it directly to a tech player two times in the game.
Red Raiders got a dawg in #8. Future 1-2 round pick if they focus on getting him the ball next year. That is a true freshman that has amazing ball skills.
The kicker slips and falls on the opening kickoff. Five seconds later, he’s recovering a fumble setting up his teams touchdown. You can’t make this stuff up. College football is a unique animal at all levels.
Remember when Cal and USC didn’t want Tech and others in their conference for various reasons? Pretty bad they let a mediocre Big 12 defense look so good. Have fun traveling across the country to play your conference games for now on.

Great game by Tech. It's so funny how Cal students and athletes thinks they are so much better than everyone else but always gets clowned on the football field! 😂😂😂
I hate that the PAC-12 is going away. But man, I will also miss the easy win that is Cal in just about any sport. I'm not sure Cal even knows they have an athletic department.

I love college football. I've gone to a bowl game, a Rose Bowl in about 1970. The stands were packed. The game meant something. The current state of affairs is dismal. The stands are mostly empty for these games now. Key players sit out the games for fear injury and harm their NFL draft level. These early bowl games are treated as a reward for the schools and players (those who choose to play in them) for winning 6 games during the regular season. I don't know the stats, but the TV ratings must be dismal, with nobody but fervent fans, students, and alumni of the schools involved bothering to watch them. Cable TV is truly starving for any sort of content. Hopefully, the 12-team playoff format will be the last straw for the bowl game custom. Nice win for the Red Raiders.
Well tbh not many people want to come to Shreveport. Its a small city known for the gun violence and crime. There isnt much for people to do other than go to casinos. They pratically give tickets away to locals and still not many people go. I'm honestly surprised this bowl exists still.the largest turn out i remember was when La Tech played NIU. Thats beacuse La Tech is 45 minutes from here. There are some cool things happening. Used to make lots of movies here and 50 cent just bought a warehouse to stary g unit films or something like that.
Yeah this bowl was a tough draw for Tech fans. We had graduation and Tech vs. Vanderbilt in hoops in Fort Worth on the same day. I'd imagine a later bowl would've seen a better turnout, Tech usually travels well.
I knew Cal was horrible when I saw them play Washington. The ACC dropped the ball by inviting those Pac-12 schools. Stanford women's basketball is the only championship program they added.
Some of the commenters in here must be young. 20 years ago both these teams were in the top 10 and sending big name guys to the league. I remember Cal giving USC a run for a few years. Definitely don't see that for these schools with all the league changes and NIL.
How did Aiken's catch at 2:10 declared a touch down when he never stepped 1 foot in bounds as college football rules state but at 2:28 when Sean Brazille"s catch was called short of the goal line?
Cal did as good as they could do with their players. When you have a school with those academic standards it’s almost like getting an ivy league school to compete. Cal and Stanford will never get to where they were
_Cal isn't a football school like Michigan,Ohio,USC,Oregon,Alabama, they have to recruit just like every other non football school do._ Well, the last game between Tech and Cal, Aaron Rogers was quarterback.
Different umpires give opposite results. One gave a touchdown when it wasn't and the other took a touch down away because he could. Makes me wonder how much was paid!!!
_One gave a touchdown when it wasn't and the other took a touch down away because he could. Makes me wonder how much was paid!!!_ I suppose you say one of Tech's wasn't? No, the one that wasn't, wasn't and the one that was, was. No one is being paid.
_the era of, "everyone gets a bowl game". The battle of mediocrity. Having said that, glad TX beat Cali..._ Um, I think it's been that way for a long time, the 6 win requirement, not just some lately come age.
Yeah and this was the ONLY college game being aired meaning more scouts were looking at these players especially since it's the last game of the year for both of them.
6-1 day in Bowl Mania An excellent start Only loss so far was that rigged Ohio-Georgia State game. Had I known that Ohio's entire team entered the portal and the game was still a pick 'em, I would have taken Ohio because it was a clear betting trap. My fault for not doing my due diligence with research The refs made sure Georgia State wasn't going to have a chance.
@@TheRayOfBlue Congrats, that's usually the case for me too. Eventually we're going to have pick that one 13-point underdog that always wins during bowl season.
32 team playoffs, 16 game schedule, ni more high school schedules, and no playing small blow out game schools. Better competition better for the fans and the players that want to win a championship and the sport.
Cal started like they were a Mike Leach team and as the game went on, they still looked like a Mike Leach team - hot at first, fizzling out and losing. Tech looked so much better than their 57-7 loser selves, so much better than just squeaking past losers like UCF, and much more like the world-beaters they were when they blasted all-powerful Tarleton High.
Yeah I don’t understand all of the hate to be honest.. I’m convinced it’s just an effort by anyone who is an Alabama or Georgia fan to just tell people that they’re an Alabama or Georgia fan.
@@waynetompkins3006 they are 6-6 teams, hardly a high ceiling to make a bowl game. its based on faceless men who decide who plays in the bowl games and its designed to make money. 6-6 teams dont deserve to be in a bowl game.
@Dude-etiquette Ideally, there should not be a bowl game between two 6-6 teams. If that's the case, call it an extra regular season game and be honest about it. There could be a few less bowl games and 7 wins should be the minimum standard, but there's money to be made for a lot of people and I don't have a problem with that. You'll get your wish when ratings fall and the stands are empty. But I don't see that happening.
_This was for certificate of participation. So pathetic teams wining and celebrating an average season._ What are you doing here then? What's worse?

The Barely Eligible Bowls. I love these games!! Seriously. They're better than the professional social justice league.
I have to agree wholeheartedly.
More football is a good thing, I ain’t complaining. Can’t wait till some of the bowl games become the 12 team play off next year
