@RCMB323 You led with Watts?

The best lineup for Tech today has been Watts, Moseley, DA, CA and Petty Have to wonder if/when we see it again

@TracesofTexas I wonder what he used to make it look like a snake bite. I'll have to try this one with the wife the next time I want to tie one on!

The Texas Quote of the Day: “Mr. Connelly, a farmer, living near Dallas, was bitten on the hand by a rattlesnake. . . . He went home and drank a quart of whiskey; split the back of a live chicken and applied it to the wound. The treatment was successful.” ---- the Brenham Weekly Banner describes a home remedy for snakebites, August 9, 1878

@JacobHarrisSBI @gunsupnation @SBInsiderHQ I really liked Emilio Esteves. I always felt like he had potential and the right attitude. 10.2 backs up my feelings.

Would the All Texas Tech-transfer team make the NCAA Tournament? Let me know⤵️

@RyanHyattMedia The grandson of the Furr’s founder owns Escondido Grill and has all the recipes. He puts on a Furr’s day I believe monthly you can buy tickets to. I had the CFS and the cod. Just like stepping back in time.

Your Daily Dose of West Texas We lived like Kings once... What did we do to lose this kind of dining greatness? #westtexas is the Best Texas #WreckEm #Lubbock

@TopTierCougs The rest of the Big 12 be watching:

BYU WILL beat Arizona by 10+ points tonight. Bookmark it.

@YahooSports @austinmasseySBI And that evening, the Senior Bowl Measurer took a bat to the shin by unknown assailants.

Diego Pavia's Senior Bowl measurements are official ⚖️ Pavia was listed at 6'0" on Vanderbilt's team website.

@robbreauxshow @CoachBeansTTU Rob, time to hit the Suno and create Porn Man to the tune of Ozzy’s Iron Man.

Ok I say we let porn man on the court to shoot a 3 every game.

@TracesofTexas And if the cow boy wrote a response, they would call The Real McCoy pretentious. It’s pretty clear his feelings towards cow boys. And their contribution to his life blood I bet was pretty dang significant.

The Texas Quote of the Day is a fabulous 1874 description of the Texas cowboy as written by Joseph G. McCoy, founder of Abilene, Kansas (and the namesake of the expression "The Real McCoy"). McCoy wrote this at the time the great cattle herds were being driven from Texas to Abilene, that they might be shipped by railroad to eastern cities like New York. I can't tell if McCoy likes or dislikes cowboys. Here's what he had to say: "Corn bread, mast-fed bacon and coffee constitute nine-tenths of their diet; occasionally they have fresh beef and less often they have vegetables of any description. They do their own cooking in the rudest and fewest possible vessels, often not having a single plate or knife and fork other than their pocket knife, but gather around the camp kettle in true Indians tyle, and with a piece of bread in one hand proceed to fish up a piece of "&#*! sow belly " and dine sumptuously, not forgetting to stow away one or more quarts of the strongest coffee imaginable, without sugar or cream, indeed you would hesitate, if judging it from appearance, whether to call it coffee or ink. Of all the vegetables onions and potatoes are the most desired and the oftenest used, when anything more than the "old regulation" is had. Instead of an oven, fire place or cooking stove a rude hole is dug in the ground and the fire made therein, and the coffee-pot, the camp kettle and the skillet are the only culinary articles used. The life of the cow boy is one of considerable daily danger and excitement. It is hard and full of exposure, but is wild and free, and the young man who has long been a cow boy has but little taste for any other occupation. He lives hard, works hard, has but few comforts and fewer necessities. He has but little, if any, taste for reading. He enjoys a coarse practical joke or a smutty story; loves danger but abhors labor of the common kind; never tires riding, never wants to walk, no matter how short the distance he desires to go. He would rather fight with pistols than pray; loves tobacco, liquor and women better than any other trinity. His life borders nearly upon that of an Indian. If he reads anything, it is in most cases a blood and thunder story of the sensation style. He enjoys his pipe, and relishes a practical joke on his comrades, or a corrupt tale, wherein abounds much vulgarity and animal propensity. His clothes are coarse and substantial, few in number and often of the gaudy pattern. The "sombrero " hat and large spurs are inevitable accompaniments. Every house has the appearance of a lack of convenience and comfort, but the most rude and primitive modes of life seem to be satisfactory to the cow boy. His wages range from fifteen to twenty dollars per month in specie. Mexicans can be employed for about twelve dollars per month. The cow boy has few wants and fewer necessities, the principle one being a full supply of tobacco. The desire for anything to read is very limited." ---- Joseph G. McCoy, "Historic Sketches of the Cattle Trade of the West and Southwest," 1874. Shown here: Joseph G. McCoy

@Brendan_Sorsby2 Looks like Cincinnati's salt mines are working overtime.

Already here coach! Waiting on y’all to get back so we can come watch a game! 🤝 #WreckEm

@NathanGiese I walked in the other room, telling my wife the song gives me all the feels. Her response: "I've never felt that." Not sure how to take that.

The CBS theme song for college basketball remains undefeated.

@SleeperCFB @Hayesfawcett3

San Diego State transfer EDGE Trey White has committed to Texas Tech, per @Hayesfawcett3 🌵 His 90 QB Pressures Since 2024 are ranked 11th. He's had 29 TFL, and 19.5 sacks the last 2 seasons.

Why is Oregons Orange Bowl sticker black and our is white and looks like shit?

Orange Bowl bound! Stop #1 in the books. @TexasTechFB @JoeyMcGuireTTU We’re coming!!! #DuckHunting #TortillasInMiami

Even the pug got into the @blackrockcoffee this morning here in Sachse, TX! Good stuff!!!

@GamblinGauchos All Day I Dream About Shoes versus Not Innovative Kinda Expensive

Adidas is better than Nike btw

@SSN_TTU Hitting the road Monday, the 29th, at sunrise from the Metroplex with two of my adult children, both Red Raiders. My late parents who both went to Tech will be with us in spirit. Wreck ‘em!!! #TortillasInMiami

Miami is a long way from Texas. Let’s coordinate, plan, give each other tips, and chat! Starting the group chat here on X. Comment or DM me to join. We are all strangers until we aren’t strangers anymore. #WreckEm

@road_raiders @SSN_TTU 118-132, 218-232, 318-333 is Tech’s Allotment.

Trying to understand what Orange Bowl Sections will be Texas Tech seating block. We’re in 321. Plz reply with your Section:

@TexasTechSoccer My reward for being the Inaugural Replay Technician for the 2025 TTU Soccer team. What an amazing gesture!!! Thank you, ladies. And great season by the way! I’m proud of you! @TechAthletics

@grok @bradphipps @lackmeftwich806 @GamblinGauchos @JacksonBig12 Grok, you fit in well with the Texas Tech Twitter-base. Keep pointing out Texas A&M shortfalls and you could rise to the top of Red Raider fan charts.

@bradphipps @lackmeftwich806 @GamblinGauchos @JacksonBig12 Haha, it'll be a classic tale of droughts and dreams deferred. Add some dramatic pauses for the Big 12 vs. SEC plot twists!

With Texas Tech going to the Big 12 Championship, Tech, Texas, TCU, Baylor and SMU will have all played in a power conference championship game this decade. Texas A&M still hasn’t this millennium

@GamblinGauchos Ruthless! Talk about kickin’ a fellar in the teeth when he’s down.

Awesome tradition that Texas Tech started this season.
