Texas Tech Gametime- Hostile Environment?

Is TV doing a 6 day window for the Texas-Tech game or will they set the time for the game sometime today?

Imagine it will be a 2:30 or 7pm ABC game.

 

If we don't hear today -- and soon -- ABC's using the six-day window.

 

i hope it's 2:30. a night game in jones stadium is crazy. the last time i went to a night game there, i swore i'd never go back.

 

My guess would be that they'll exercise the window, and if we beat KU Saturday then it will be the national primetime game.

 

Starchild, I'm considering making the trip out to Lubbock. Were the fans that bad out there?

 

Anywhere you go, there will be a few knuckleheads.

The fans are fine. Go to the game and have a good time.

 

I guess 2:30 is out as they gave that slot to OSU-ISU per Big 12 Sports.com

are we a chance for 11am kickoff or 7pm kickoff?

 

Don't ever skip a road game because you're worried about the other fans. As long as you don't act like a douchebag and taunt them, you'll be just fine (unless you happen to find yourself in Columbus, OH).

 

Ha, no, not that it would stop me from going, and I wouldn't ask those aggies anything, but I was just wondering. It's going to depend more on whether I can get tickets or not and feel like making the drive...

 

cowtown red, i know you want to belive there a few knuckeheads, but it's more than a few.

with that said.... i have a blast going to lubbock. boom boom cabaret me!

 

7PM kick, per Mack press conference. Getting a lot of national love.

 

Anyone know what the message boards for Tech are? I did a search and found only rivals and other junk...

I'm assuming they have a swap meet of some sort like us...

Thanks...

 

Outside of the Rivals site, pretty much your only option is Raiderpower.com.

I don't recommend it. It's our version of texags.

 

I don't like 11AM kicks but I wish this one was at 11. 7 is going to be tough.

 

It is a 7:00 p.m. kick. On ABC if undefeated; on ESPN if losses.

 

The Link

Time confirmed. As MikeUT00 said, it's pending the result of this week's games.

 

Their fans aren't that bad. I have heard all the stories but I haven't seen anything in Lubbock like you see at KSU or like the fans Stillwater throwing bottles at the Horns while singing the Eyes of Texas.

 

Let's hope Ron Franklin does the play by play on ESPN.

 

f**k, wish it wasn't a night game. Their fans will be even more crazy.

 

Let's not as that means UT lost. I went to the last game in Lubbock. Had a great time.

 

I have been to our last two games in Lubbock. I sat in the tech student section in 2004 and believe me they are bad. Watched them pour paint, milk, eggs, etc on our equipment truck. cops on horseback mowing people down and the list goes on and on. Dont talk to them and ignore them, thats the only way to go. And it will help if we kick their *** on the field. I cant wait.

 

We gotta get plenty of orange in that place.

 

I'll be going to the game with a Horn alumnus and I'm sure we will both have a great time. Of course there will be a small segment of prick fans. Ignore them and enjoy the game with other true fans.

 

the knuckleheads are definitely the exception rather than the rule, but they are bad. i'm getting too damned old to deal with jackasses getting in my face trying to fight. (just because they are drunk, and i'm wearing an orange shirt.) i'm also getting too damned old to deal with crap being thrown at me from behind. (again, just because i'm wearing an orange shirt.) there were also a couple of incidents that i don't need to go into, but leaving the stadium was flat miserable. it was almost as bad as leaving the horseshoe after beating tosu. don't let the asswipes keep you from going. hell, i've sworn i'd never do a lot of things that i ended up doing again.

 

I am a Tech season ticket holder and have not seen any visiting fans being harassed. If you are sitting in the student section with an other team's colors, then you will receive some ribbing but nothing too bad. I think most fans admire UT's football program and think it is going to be a great game.

My hope is that of course Tech beats KU this weekend and that Colt has another great game and UT donkey punch's okie light. Sooner or later, he has to have an off night and hopefully Colt has his off night in Lubbock. The only problem the past few seasons is that UT has coached and played very well versus Tech on offense.

 

I went to the an afternoon kick there in 2002 (it was dark by the time the game ended) and swore I wouldn't go back because the only two times I have ever been to Lubbock, we lost (the other was 98).

There were more than a "few" knuckleheads and the place just about went nuts when the game was in hand - THE STUDENT SECTION LITERALLY PULLED A METAL BLEACHER LOOSE FROM THE CONCRETE AND WAS WAVING IT IN THE AIR until, presumably, security came over and hauled it away. It was pure pandemonium and just about as fun a football experience as I've ever had.

That game was also the night of this (and it was true, he absolutely tore us up):





We got all kinds of verbal crap in the parking lot from drunks as we walked out, too, but nothing too serious.

But the reason that I'm not going back is because I'm superstitious, not because of the fans. It's college football and it's a great experience. Just don't be stupid and start anything yourself and you will be fine.
