Title: #1 Goes down in Lubbock
Post by: VikingJuice on November 01, 2008, 11:07:23 PM
Texas Tech, in the biggest game of the school's history (till next week), knock of #1 Ranked University of Texas with a 20+ yard pass to Michael Crabtree with one second left on the clock!!

Tech jumped out to a big lead of 19-0 before Texas stormed back taking the lead with about a minute and a half to go.  Tech rallied driving just under 60 yards for the go ahead score.

It was a fantastic ballgame!!

I had no idea you were a UT alum.  UT really played down today.  That wasn't the same team that dispatched OU, Mizzou and OSU in consecutive weeks.  They seemed very flat till just before half. 

Even with the loss, you have to admit it was an exciting game despite until the end.  I had the same experience watching my Dolphins lose right in front of my eyes a couple weeks back.  It was a great game but a shitty ending for me.

My BP was climbing, so I stopped watching. Also, I moved the DSL modem and that pissed me off too.  Not a good night for stuff at Bahnville.

Not that I dislike Texas, but now PSU has a better chance.

PSU will likely get leapfrogged a lot this year because of both strength of schedule issues and recent Big 10 failures in BCS games.  I think Tech jumps over them in this afternoon's BCS poll.

Updated:  My prediction was true, Tech jumped PSU to land at #2, with PSU #3
