Wasn't Craig James the guy who said he took a paycut when he went to the NFL after being on the death penalty SMU teams in the 80's?

Runs in the family, I guess. The good thing is that my team is out of the news for the game for our own Winston and Jenrette distractions.

A few players have commented - several are bench warmers. I tend to believe the overwhelming response from former players and coaches over the few disgruntled boys. We will see how it all shakes out.

I’d put him on the kick return team and let the MSU players bury him.

I just watched the lying, money taking Craig James on ESPN whining about his spoiled brat kid. I hope both suffer immensly from this. Craig James is nothing more than an overbearing obnoxious father and it shows.

The puke James was just on the Nebraska game trying to play all nice and innocent. I want to watch Nebraska, but not with James there. Even one of the announcers turned away from him in disgust.

Really? Local news stations reporting many seniors are thinking of not playing.

As an Auburn alum and huge fan, it would be odd to see Tuberville anywhere else. However, Tuberville is a good guy and any program is lucky to get him!

look at the closet on video. It was the opposing coach’s media room. And how is isolating a bad apple a firing offense?

Making a lazy kid sit in a media room by himself is hazing? No wonder we lost the last election, if our side keeps buying exactly what the MSM says.

Good idea:

Someone shows personal weakness so just give up on him

Tech might have all that stuff, but what respectable coach is going to want to work for that idiot AD who hires and gives extensions to people he doesnt like, then tries to fire them?

These must be the "Fat Girlfriends" that Coach Leach was talking about.

As a recent graduate of Tech, the AD has a god complex and is a backstabber.

And football can transcend into other arenas, such as practices of how public schools hire and release their employees.

What spots are on his record?

Researching pirates? Graduating his players?

To get away from the liberal hellholes of Dallas, Houston, Beaumont, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso and the hostile border towns.

Just got back from Lubbock from my son’s basketball tournament. The local media and Raider Nation are going nuts. Everyone, and I mean everyone is canceling season tickets today.

And your mindless hatred of football speaks volumes. Im sure the patron saint of being boring is inspired by your slavish support.

Well it is a shame but who can blame them? Who wants to go watch some liberal namby pamby who has to wipe off the cushions before the team can sit down?

Do you really think it was just a coincidence that the enrollment grew during a time when our football team was having the best 10 years of our entire history?

The increase in the enrollment at Texas Tech most likely has something to do with the Top 10% Rule and the fact that the University of Texas at Austin turns away half the in-state students that apply to UT.
