Since you obviously love my posts so much that you have to pull year-old ones out of the archives, I guess I really should post more.

So, to catch up, I guess I forgot to tell y'all that Texas Tech's very own Raider Red won the Capitol One Mascot Challenge:

MCLEAN, Va. - After 16 weeks of head-to-head matchups and millions of votes, the 11th annual Capital One Mascot Challenge came down to the final championship round between undefeated Cocky of South Carolina, and 2003 National Mascot of the Year, and Raider Red of Texas Tech who succumbed to only one loss during regular season voting. And while it was expected to be a close battle, Raider Red's final victory over Cocky was an upset heard around the mascot nation. In addition to claiming the ultimate mascot bragging rights for winning the 2012 title, Raider Red will also receive $20,000 toward his collegiate mascot program, provided by Capital One.

"I don't do this for the prize money or the fame, I do it for pride and for all of the loyal Texas Tech fans," said Raider Red through a mascot interpreter. "I'd like to give a shout out to Cocky on a hard-fought competition and to thank the loyal and passionate Texas Tech fans who helped me claim this honor."

Raider Red is now defending his championship, so please look forward to more updates...since this is a bye week, I'll have plenty of time to keep you all updated.

Thanks for continuing to show your interest in me and my posts, Karakand. I promise I'll strive harder to keep up with your obvious demands for more so you don't have to post old ones to make up for the lack of Texas Tech news in your life.

Damn I did well in the pick 'em last week! Second place overall now!

GAF Pick'em Week 5 Games

(THU) Virginia Tech @ Georgia Tech by 9
South Carolina @ UCF by 6
SMU @ TCU by 14
Virginia @ Pittsburgh by 7
LSU @ Georgia by 4
Florida State @ Boston College by 17
Oklahoma @ Notre Dame by 7
Iowa @ Minnesota by 6
Ole Miss @ Alabama by 10

I think Iowa / Minnesota is the hardest to pick this week. Neither team has played anybody worth a damn so far this season, except for Iowa taking a 3 point loss to NIU in their opener. I'm also not so sure about ASU over USC but fuck Kiffin. And I'm tempted to take UCF over SCAR but I just can't do it. I think UCF will keep it close though.

Oh and turns out I work for the 9th best university to work for in the nation. And our President had the highest rating of them all at 100% (he is doing a seriously good job here). Go Noles!

I should have just said "unranked teams don't get to tell ranked teams what to put on their t-shirts..." But there's too much material to work with when talking to Longhorn fans about arrogance.

How does everyone feel about Tyler Murphy? I mean, realistically.

Played better in two quarters than Driskel has the entire season. Definitely an upgrade, in my opinion. All he has to do is just not turn the ball over for the Gatas to be successful.

Craig James' legal team demands his reinstatement at Fox Sports
"The actions have also led to the breach of Craig James‘ contract and the impugnment of his career," Liberty Institute general council told Fox Sports in a letter sent Tuesday. "We demand the immediate reinstatement [of] Mr. James to the on-air college football analyst position. If you refuse to reinstate Mr. James, millions of Americans will be left with the impression that you do not respect religious liberty and Liberty Institute will be forced to pursue subsequent legal options."

I was going to say something like "well you can't blame a guy for trying" but then I read the article. He's basically saying it's OK for him to spout homophobic hate speech because of his religion. Fuck this guy. If I believed in hell I would hope he rots there being constantly sodomized while watching a highlight reel of Mike Leach's best games.

Nooooo Dominique Easley tore his ACL. Dammit, I liked him a lot.
Click to expand...

edit: Seems your info may be off.

"“Dominique Easley tweaked his knee a little bit [Tuesday], will probably be out [Wednesday] and we’ll see how it goes,” he said of the senior defensive tackle. “It’s his other knee. It was a non-contact [injury]. He was playing to run on a screen and just tweaked it a little bit. And we think he’ll be fine.”

RIP to former Dawg, Paul Oliver. Apparently committed suicide today.

Kevin Acee of the Union-Tribune reported Wednesday that ex-Charger defensive back Paul Oliver committed suicide at the age of 29. “A good dude,” Acee tweeted of Oliver. “Always enjoyed talking to him. Dang, this is sad.”

Acee’s colleague Michael Gehlken reported that Oliver’s family had confirmed his death.

“We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers,” the family said, according to Gehlken. “We request privacy in the wake of this tragic loss.”

Strange to see all these high scores people are picking for Alabama/Ole Miss. I'm feeling quite down on it, personally. I'll still have Alabama winning, but it'll be a close game.

I think his legal team is going to have a hard time proving he was fired for the gay comments, considering FSSW received thousands of anti-James twitter messages before those comments even came to light.

When you can't get even that close to 10% of the vote in Texas as an ex-football star, football commentator, and a Republican, you really are a spectacular failure at being popular.

Not me.

I saw the pure talent of Ole Miss take down the top 10 Texas Longhorns.

I think bama wins, but I think y'all have some pretty serious issues to the point where it's possible you could lose however unlikely and I figured why not

Yep, looks like the rumors were true. Some test must have come back positive for him.

Easley, however, tweeted “Gatornation, thank you for all 4 yrs of sticking with me but God has something else planned and have no worries.” That would seem to indicate that tests have come back and the injury is more than a “tweak.”

I'm leaning toward it being closer for Bama than I would have said before. But still, by "closer" I'm thinking 14pts.

I'm not convinced yet that Ole Miss is anything other than Ole Miss. I guess there's a possibility that they could spoil things for Bama or another top team but I don't see them being good enough to be a legit contender. Should Bama be on upset alert? I think you should be in any game, but particularly after an underwhelming previous week against a team that had a lot of confidence and young talent.
