*** Official #25 Texas Tech vs #11 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[t-noah]

I haven’t noticed a problem, Robert Jones minuscule amount of attempts excluded. And even he threw one down against Baylor.

AND he made a free throw!

I like the way he’s trending. I can tell the coaches are working with him on his areas that need improvement and he is listening and putting them in to practice during games. Good role guy. I like him.

Bob Jones is one Hot recruit!

I was going to try to make a funny here by inserting the vid clip of Robert in the "hot sauce" challenge, eating chicken wings. But I couldn't find the clip. I'd like to see that clip again anyway.

All kidding aside, he does appear to be improving. We are going to remember him fondly I believe, for his hustle and his part in changing the culture under TJ.

a full third of our conference games (6/18) are on ESPNU this year.

That's what happens when you bottom out in a year and everybody thinks you'll suck the next year.

It has been 680 days since ISU last won a Big 12 conference game (February 25, 2020 vs TCU). That all changes tonight!

I'm not sure what's more shocking - that we haven't won a game in 680 days, or that Feb 2020 was 680 days ago...

Meh, I think it sounds like something Scooby Doo would say.

I'll take ESPNU over ESPN+ any time honestly....however you'd think some of our games might get changed? I know these are pre-determined a LONG time ago and no one expected us to be good, but I can't imagine a ranked matchup in Lawrence coming soon that would be on ESPN+..that would be incredibly dumb

Needs a NIL on used cars. Bob Jones Used Cars. He looks like a 70s porn star and sells used cars.

Agree unless we follow West Virginia.

Chances this game gets postponed due to Tech's problems?

do they do that? I don't recall games changing much for basketball, but that'd be nice.

I prefer ESPN+ to ESPNU because you can subscribe to ESPN+, but if your cable provider moved ESPNU to a sports package it's a huge pain in the ass (and much more expensive) to add.

That's the whole plan -- make you subscribe to ESPN+.

Um...must have missed it. What problems?

they should be putting the CFP National Championship game on ESPN+ then...lol

probably not....I'm sure it's been done before, but idk the logistics of that sort of stuff....I'm lucky I'm on a YTTV subscription with my family...they pretty much have all the ESPN channels and I also have ESPN+ that I share my login with my family as well...kinda works well that way

Star player Tony Battie is out.

They have a couple players out with injury. Nothing I’ve seen says anything is covid related so there shouldn’t be a problem

Been out since 12/14.

Just having a little fun. Tony Battie been out since about 1997 (NBA). Several of TT players out w/ injury/ and unspecified (covid?). See pages 3-5 this thread.
