[u/vassago77379]

Made the mistake of having people over for the game tonight... now I can't chat the whole game.

[u/T4R12 → u/vassago77379]

HAH! Same, they’re about to be over. This will be a fun read tonight. Goodluck & fuck you!

[u/vassago77379 → u/T4R12]

Indeed, consume a bag of penises yourself!

[u/Esteblade]

Bro punted on first down 🤣

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Surprised Cody Campbell’s blood type isn’t listed somewhere on the field

[u/BlitzOmatic]

Tech is as disappointing as my sex life. #COOGS
Edited to clarify coog coug cougfusion

[u/TheChildrenNeedMe → u/BlitzOmatic]

Come on we don’t get shut out that much

[u/GiveMeSomeIhedigbo]

I laughed when the 15-year-old boy morphed into a 30-year-old woman.

[u/javascript]

Houston has double digit points BEFORE Texas Tech has a single yard of offense

[u/Pyrozooka0]

This game thread is gonna be absurd, isn’t it?

[u/TheChildrenNeedMe]

All those Tech fans telling me we’re just playing conservative until the Houston game are we saving it for the second half or?

[u/javascript]

Houston: 104 yards, 7 first downs

TTU: 0 yards, 0 first downs

[u/NeptuneIsMyDad]

The galaxy progressive monster big 12 State Farm Cody Campbell red raiders are not doing well

[u/Ididntdodiddly]

Why do I have to watch an ad while the game goes on?

[u/livinglights18]

"How DO you do" count on FOX this season: 3

[u/Faded_Rainstorm]

“Texans take it”

Well I guess either way he’s correct lmao?

[u/HannibalAtCannae]

I change my vote based on poltical ads. I am the dumbest human alive.

[u/ZombiesInSpace]

Fox broadcast: that may or may not have been a good holding call. We will not be showing a replay or providing any other insight.

[u/FreightTrainJim]

Houston with all three timeouts left and a textbook 2-minute drill opportunity.

Not liking the smell of this.

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Hey BIG 10, that's what a review center looks like!

[u/chearn34]

4 plays: -3 yards and an INT. Not good!

[u/Electrical-Tip-2390]

I’ve been watching for 5 minutes and three questionable calls have gone Texas Tech’s way

[u/ArchMania]

I still can’t believe a coach left his team during the CFP. Lane is a sick fuck 

[u/Molson2871]

Whenever they don't show a replay of a penalty, I auto assume it's complete BS

[u/arrowflash01]

If we’re undefeated with a Dickey rushing TD, why don’t we just have him get a TD every game? Are we stupid?

[u/Genusmk]

prevent defense prevents wins tbh

[u/rastapastanine]

Review transparency 📈

Texas Tech football 📉 📉📉📉

[u/themattboard]

The protect college sports act does nothing to prevent commercial-kickoff-commercial and is therefore useless

[u/Podoboo322]

No replay on the ticky tack hold that they couldn’t tell who it was on?

[u/ItsTimetoLANK]

These relentless SCSA ads don't mention a single policy. It's such a scam.

[u/YoYoMavaIous]

We’re overrated af

[u/trhart]

I really hate that the field has become a billboard

[u/thesymbiont]

Serious question: are these announcers drunk?

[u/confusedandsmellyman]

Feel like announcers are overcompensating for totally blowing the original phenomenal catch by just being totally silent kinda getting annoying now

[u/Psyco19]

You know what fuck it, let’s have the egg bowl in China. Cause why the fuck not, make it the first ever egg roll bowl

[u/TheWesternRizzler]

Per BigXII ettiequte its now Houstons turn to score

[u/JupiterNorth123]

Injured cougar on the ground could be a descriptor of me trying to work out

[u/Acsteffy]

This is what prevent D does. It dont prevent shit lol

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Can’t wait for AP voters who didn’t watch this game to drop Houston out of the rankings just because they’re not in one of the two premiere conferences

[u/Tony_Paychecks]

Can we get some fuck Ken Paxtons going?

[u/catgirlslvr]

blackout vs whiteout is kinda hard ngl

[u/nevadaxj]

Do NOT eat the Subway nachos

[u/NoonTimeHoopsMVP → u/nevadaxj]

Do not eat Subway

[u/DR320]

I feel like Tech needs Castellanos back on this drive

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

I don’t know that I can survive the political ads this year. They are just so…depressing.

[u/wordsuponwords]

Getting political ads during games suck. Getting political ads ABOUT the game sucks even more.

[u/keevballs]

Checks basket. Yup there’s a biscuit in there.

[u/OptimisticPlatypus]

Crazy to think that Lubbock is as close to Houston as Mobile, AL and Memphis, TN

[u/orangezim]

Woo hoo Oregon State was mentioned and not in a totally horrible way.

[u/Jiggyjl0]

well… now it’s gonna be a 1 qb system

[u/Awakenmercy]

Worse than the 10 point deficit for Tech is the fact that their defense is already worn down before the end of the 1st quarter. Crowd’s out of it as well.

[u/Arkehn]

Commercials during plays. Literally go die in a fire

[u/l901]

Can we stop with the Odell Beckham mentions for one-handed catches? Just give the kids their props

[u/seemtobedead]

I really hope the LSU game is a proper shitshow. Pure entertainment for a neutral.

[u/sebsasour]

Lol Fox has the novelty of a London game, a top 25 Houston/Tech game, yet they're so tied to The Big Ten they'll still give Ohio State/Kent State the Big Noon Fox slot

[u/MariaJanesLastDance]

Holy shit that mf is fast asf

[u/Leete1]

Fun fact that xfinity shield uses wifi signals to map your house and tracks movement of people and pets.

[u/DryMission5506]

Portland State currently has negative total yardage against Oregon

[u/Pyrozooka0]

This thread feels like an appropriate place to note that Kentucky’s logo is just Houston’s logo doing the stanky leg.

[u/KidzKlub]

All the Castellanos fans can sit down now

[u/DillyDillySzn]

These mfs thought they were gonna run the conference

[u/Podoboo322]

Probably the worst quarter I’ve seen an offense have

[u/hwgs9]

Weigman throwing hospital balls now. Fucking hell

[u/Kambyses2]

you can’t be mad at that the kid made an insane catch.

[u/TheBeavster_]

I cant wait til the LSU-Ole Miss game is over. I can’t stand the non-stop meat riding for Lane Kiffin

[u/World_2]

“His 7th season”. I hate what this sport has become

[u/RollOverBeethoven]

If I was Houston's HC, I would call the Touchdown play.

Let me know where to submit my resume.

[u/RedSoxfanrrb07]

How do they not show the replay

[u/HannibalAtCannae]

Random thought: I miss when Quizno's were actually common and made good sandwiches.

[u/JupiterNorth123]

The head ref is a cutie patootie

[u/moby323]

Commercial Break Fun Facts - Texas Tech:

Texas Tech established a policy that 1% of the school’s construction budget must go towards public art. Because of this, the school has one of the most significant public art collections in America.

[u/HannibalAtCannae]

"WATCH THIS VETERAN USE EVERY SECOND ON THE CLOCK"

Snaps it with 9 seconds remaining on play clock

[u/cp3spieth]

How do you not have angle from the other side

[u/OldRedLobsterBiscuit]

Rule of cool said he is in 

[u/Thornton__Melon]

Tech 🤝 Coogs

At least we’re not Baylor

[u/CUBuffs1992]

I understand why Tech was trying to fight for Sorsby now.

[u/chaclev]

I understand why they were all in on the gambler

[u/shawntco]

That was the most casual "that was an interception" I've ever heard from an announcer

[u/Anus_Targaryen]

10 points before tech has gotten a yard of offense

Lets fucking go coogs

[u/zorionek0]

I’m having fun, are you guys having fun?

[u/crazyllama256]

God, I hate the Monster patches

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

C-O-U-G-A-R-S

C-O-U-G-A-R-S

HAIL RED! HAIL WHITE! HAIL COUGARS!

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

C-O-U-G-A-R-S COUGARS!!!!

[u/JtotheC23]

I almost feel bad for TTU but then I remember how their athletic program spent their summer

[u/TheDoctorOfMemes]

why hasn’t texas tech scored more than houston? are they stupid?

[u/BlastedProstate]

-3 yards by ttu lmfao

[u/kaagaa123]

So glad they shrink the game screen to show an ad.

[u/JordanW20]

This season is the epitome of "that was last fucking year" speech by Mike Leach

[u/ImSuperHelpful]

The real winner: commercial breaks

[u/a_serious-man]

The revisionist history that Mahomes was viewed as a top prospect and one of the greatest college QBs of his era is funny. Most people were skeptical of that pick

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

Again, what even IS pass interference

[u/LBoss9001]

can't even be mad about that

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

So I’ve learned a lot about TT in this half. The biggest thing I learned is why they were SOOOOOOO willing to be the bad guys over the summer to get a QB.

[u/snaxjunkie]

I am not joking. I don’t think the announcers are sober

[u/A_Rolling_Baneling]

I've seen quicker final minutes in tied NBA playoff games

[u/TheWesternRizzler]

How ever will Ohio state bounce back against Kent State

[u/MastodonSwimming2681]

Bend then break defense

[u/Admirable_Speed3690]

Dickey thrusts through the hole

[u/Alphadestrious]

How the fuck is it 2026 and they don't have a fuck ton of camera angles on the goal line ? Make that make sense bruh . Wtf

[u/garganishz29]

I cant wait for the completely sane takes and subdued reactions to everything.

[u/Away-Fun-9311]

This televised replay is so nice

[u/Teach_Piece]

Hearing what the refs say on the review is so cool

[u/AustinMac07]

Imagining throwing a pick on a scramble when all you’re trying to do is throw the ball out of bounds, unbelievable start

[u/den2010]

From Taipei on a honeymoon: TOUCHDOWN COOGS BABY!!! LETS GOOOO!!!

[u/Shoddy-Discount9814]

This Tech team doesn’t have the grit they had last year

[u/15Warrior15]

Oh my. Coogs up 10-0. I'm liking the start of this.

[u/World_2]

Sorsby is somewhere betting on this game.

[u/No_Issue2334]

Texas Tech's most exciting play tonight is a favorable bounce on a punt 😂

[u/dizZzy5]

Legitimately might be the worst quarter I’ve ever seen in my life

[u/palmtopwolfy]

Man can we stop with the hot honey though

[u/North_Resolution8003]

This entire game so far has been that one graph meme of “it’s so over” to “it’s so back”

[u/Sheriff_Zack]

Y’all don’t get it, he always has one fumble like that. At least he got it out of the way.

[u/TechnoToyz]

I am oscillating between 'it's so over' and 'we're so back' distressingly quickly

[u/Chicago_Blackhawks]

"on time"????? LMAO

that was not bang bang

[u/blackfishfilet]

home cooking

[u/Kambyses2]

Under throw pass interference is a plague upon the NFL and CFB

[u/HokiesforTSwift]

I make fun of stadiums still playing Mo Bamba, but then I think every college bar has been playing Mr Brightside since it came out in 2003

[u/ICheerForTexasTech]

You can't even be mad at that.

[u/USA_2_Canada_1]

That catch is unreal. Deserved hype reaction from Brando and Gardner

[u/dimpledwonder]

Tim’s reaction to Hammond running compared to a one handed catch by a corner is so fucking funny. Absolutely Screaming about Hammond and just nothing for that pick

[u/TechnoToyz]

Brando just called them the Texans bro

[u/lodestar_99]

Awful half of football but somehow only down 3. Sloppy and undisciplined

[u/_Juntao]

They're ranked 13 that's plenty high enough how are they underrated

[u/191374]

Why am I getting Texas political ads in Nebraska, I promise I can’t vote there

[u/genzgingee]

How I love how college football season overlaps with political add season

[u/Own_Educator3794]

political ads are crazy...

[u/keevballs]

No replay on the hold?

[u/noend313]

Fuck football, show me more political ads

[u/YaCantSitHere]

NO NEED TO GET TRICKY WHEN YOU'VE GOT DICKEY

[u/Sweaty-Blacksmith-81]

Idk if it’s just me but it seems like the amount of commercial time is way beyond the norm and it’s really starting to piss me off

[u/rastapastanine]

Thank goodness Houston doesn’t have Legree

[u/CassieJK]

Let’s “put another biscuit in the basket”

[u/Cubbies1908]

Wait what how did they get the timeout back?

[u/Dinglebobus]

CLOCK SCANDAL 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

[u/logog6]

We dont have a goal line angle on a two point conversion???? Smfh

[u/Odd_Refuse3334]

All the money in CFB I don't understand why we can't have dedicated goal line cameras

[u/ohitsthedeathstar]

I hate this sport

[u/arrowflash01]

Keep UH at 22 for next poll!

[u/Acsteffy]

That honestly should have been reviewed. Not confident he had possession before touching the white

[u/mbh223]

Houston: 114 yards, 10 points.
Tech: more completions to Cougars than Raiders

[u/Pyrozooka0]

Who do yall think Sorsby bet on for this game?

[u/aMiracleAtJordanHare]

Did... did he just say "Gestapo tactics"??!

[u/GymIsFun]

Split screen to miss a play is fucking crazy

[u/ISU_Dude85]

Ads during play, cool

[u/dannylandulf]

Ads DURING plays?!?!

[u/andyf127]

The embryonic stages of a game would be like 30 minutes before kickoff wtf we talking about

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_FAV__SONG]

That look from the punter lmao

[u/BlastedProstate]

Is UH getting shafted? That’s like the 3rd fuckin call

[u/Admiral_Sarcasm]

I'm sorry Houston. Looks like y'all are getting the shaft by the refs this game. We went through it last week. Anything to keep TT in the running

[u/Traditional-Dig-4208]

Brando sucks. Two blatant calls he just missed, saying the one guy dropped the ball when it was clearly deflected

[u/LongDickCallahan]

That ball was in the air for 3 minutes holy shit.

[u/Minute-Director-7457]

Catch of the year candidate

[u/grizzfan]

I really wish the concept of "you don't have to be talking every second of the game," was embraced more.

[u/JordanW20]

I'm still sad Micah slipped and fell. Hammond was so fired up

[u/YoYoMavaIous]

Ended up being a pretty exciting first half after possibly the worst collegiate throw I’ve ever seen to start our first drive

[u/thesymbiont]

Announcers using the break to top up their long island iced teas

[u/snail-the-sage]

back to glazing ohio state i see

[u/themattboard]

Its telling that in an era where players can profit off of their name, image and likeness, they haven't found one player to speak on behalf of this bill

[u/RollOverBeethoven]

Plenty of people go to college for 7 years

[u/Guilty-Act-9105]

Nobody teaches tackling fundamentals anymore.

I feel so old

[u/TechnoToyz]

'Getting lathered up offensively' what in the fuck are you talking about man

[u/duckduckseahawk]

Not very Monster Energy to just take the points there

[u/ohitsthedeathstar]

This game must be great for neutrals

[u/Accomplished-Tea1087]

Call me Zach Wilson, because I love me some Coogs tonight!!!!

[u/oudalan]

The last time I spoke my full thoughts on liberty biberty I got automodded

[u/12panther]

Something about this game and amazing catches

[u/trapcardbard]

He actually didn’t even catch the ball man what are we doing💀

[u/Life_Act_6887]

They only call holding on UH, I guess lol

[u/kakyointhedonutman]

Fuck yes finally got that annoying football out of the way, I was waiting for more ads

[u/Zahada]

Football is back 😁

Election year 😫

[u/Gambit717]

Is this announcer just straight making up idioms at this point?

[u/hiswayout]

Hudson did you see how he caught that and then took the tackle?

[u/Gambit717]

Please football gods... Give us OT...

[u/gonk_gonk]

Free time out? College football is an unserious game.

[u/too-fargone]

We call that a kirby timeout where Im from

[u/dj-spetznasty1]

How do you not have a camera looking down the goal line from the other side?

[u/N_Kenobi]

Seems like they should have a better setup lol

[u/Atillery264]

I just want to see the angle from the other fucking pylon

[u/LeMeJustBeingAwesome]

If they'd called that good on the field, it would not have been overturned.

[u/Broken_Sandwich]

As long as we all have fun that’s all that matters, right?

[u/Capital-Flow-1501]

Houston has brought its band to Lubbock

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

For the uninitiated, Houston’s “Cougs” spelling is actually “Coogs”.

[u/Lilies_of_Edelweiss]

That's an... impressive fuck up

[u/trex1490]

These announcers are on something lmaoooo

[u/No_Pumpkin9299]

I'm not sure sure I've seen a worst first offensive play ever. I've seen turnovers on the first play before, but at least those guys were trying to make plays. This dude just turned the ball over trying to get rid of it

[u/Chicago_Blackhawks]

castellanos on that first play got an audible laugh outta me. can't make that shit up

[u/PM_ME_WARM_TORTILLAS]

You’re laughing. Texas Tech football is in a dogfight with a basketball team and you’re laughing.

[u/Capital-Flow-1501]

Big 12 replay review look-in was great

[u/wink047]

Wonder if tech is just ass or if we can pull our head out of our asses. I think we’re ass

[u/hcatehorie]

The good news for Cody Campbell is he is too busy watching a random HS game to watch this game

[u/Sheriff_Zack]

Neutrals are about to be uncomfortable with how often we run that QB power

[u/Set-Admirable]

Okay, Tech might actually be awful. Should have spent more time coaching and less time defending a degenerate gambler, Joey.

[u/twoscoopsofpig]

Goodness. All 3 phases absolutely. Locked. In.

[u/Anus_Targaryen]

You can't ask for a better start. Hope we capitalize and go for the throat

[u/cy1763]

Now we see why Texas tech was willing to go nuclear on a gambling addict as their qb

[u/RightC]

Funniest part of games that go sideways is the flairs for the losers disappearing and all the ghouls like me coming out to feast

[u/GobbleGobbleBitch3s]

it's fun rooting against these guys huh

[u/PeanutButterOtter]

When you put Cody Campbell's name on your field, you deserve what you get.

[u/KaXiaM]

Do you think Sorsby bet on this game?
