Why is Tech so confident?

[CarlHungus]

Sagarin has Tech's schedule ranked 164






There are 124 teams in FBS

That crappy ESPN blog even used the word cupcake.

Cleveland and Detroit would also be the largest cities in Iowa. Doesn't make them more appealing. Lubbock is truly one of the least interesting, most remote and worst places I have ever been (and unfortunately have been there a few times), so why try to bash anywhere else? I far prefer even Midland/Odessa to Lubbock because they at least have personality. Ames/Des Moines is a far better place, has far more population and more to do, so don't ever slam any city when you're made of Lubbock, let alone a decent and up coming place like Central Iowa.

I'm not really sure what city size says about anything. Although, one would think we could all agree that Lincoln is not on any of our favorite vacation lists.

I honestly don't ever remember a more annoying fan base. Iowa fans are annoying but at least they stay on their own boards for the most part.

I will say that Texas "Should" have been split up in to 4 States when the states were finalized. If you took Iowa Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and called it "Iowa" we would have a lot of cities, recruiting and more too. Realistically Lubbock should be the capital of that large area of North West Texas. Your new capitals are Lubbock, Dallas, Houston and some city in the pan handle....fun to think about...lol

I was told once that if air-conditioning had not been invented that Texas would be vacant. I spent a week in FW/Big D when they were going through a 30 day 100+ degree event. It was brutal. Nothing was moving except lizards and scorpions. "Pity the Fool" who suggests that Lubbock is a superior location.

Too bad it isn't luckenbach texas, so we could hang with willie and waylon and the boys.

I don't understand threads like this. God forbid fans of Team X be confident in said team. Have any of you ever PLAYED football?

Just a reminder, Carl. If we all woke up in the morning and Lubbock was an exclave of Iowa, it'd instantly be your biggest city. Just remember that.

it would also be iowa's crappiest city as well.

Hey, you should have stayed the entire 40+ days it was over 100 last year...made me appreciate the weather I used to have in Iowa. The fanbase isn't all that terrible, I have spent a lot of time in Midland/Odessa this year and see mostly Tech fans...most are friendly and don't have the attitude of the troll types on here. However I would agree, Lubbock is the armpit of West Texas for sure!

Trolls show up: you report them to mods: they are banned: Repeat.

I've seen it all now! Texas Tech fans pimping the greatness of Lubbock. So glad this was the first thread I opened this morning.

I live in the Panhandle buddy. Nobody from any other state would want any city here, especially Lubbock. It is the biggest hole of a location that I have seen. Its why Tubbs has to get his commitments before they visit.
