TTech Game thread
-
The only reason it was close is they got cute and tried to throw the ball. They only average 9.2 YPC and have 312 yards on the ground. This defense is so bad there isn’t a team left on our schedule that can’t beat us. Kamara and Rawls are good but the rest are slow and stinky
-
Boy, these massive runs are inexcusable.
-
Alexander is good
-
The frequency of the giant runs up the middle feels unusual.
-
These fans are punks
-
The main issue is with this offense, we just can’t get the run game going consistently
-
That’s not even close to a fumble
-
This tech defense is damn good folks
-
Targeting?? We have been called for worse
-
You should avoid overusing smelling salts or holding the smelling salt too close to the nose. Concentrated exposure can damage the upper airways and lungs and cause allergic reactions.
-
Mark me down as scared shitless Dylan Edwards and Avery Johnson run for 350 yards on this defense
-
I want us to invest heavily in an offensive line. Getting outrushed 300-10 is getting old
-
Dye is out and mason Ellis
-
@Jhawk69 yes that 300 million needs to be invested in the trenches. That’s where the games are won and lost. I could’ve ran for 150 with the holes our defense is giving up. If don’t make first contact til 7 yards in front of the line, it’s gonna be a rough day.
-
I hoping we can get a score here I put $5 on us at +14.5 lol
-
Looks like we just quit smh
-
Ok. I don’t think we are going to win this one guys. Maybe next week.
-
At least they are saving JD and playing Ballard.
-
That is a bad sign. For next season’s sake we need to be seeing Zeke Marshall as QB2
-
@patoh3 JD played a solid game IMO for getting sacked 9 times. Tech is top 5 in nearly every defensive statistical category for a reason. Just wish we had a defense to keep us in some of these games. It’s the exact opposite of last season where we couldn’t do anything on offense much of the year but defense kept it within a score or two. DK has to go at this point.
-
@Jhawk69 I’m easily confused. Isn’t it Isaiah Marshall?
-
Isiah is right
-
Isiah is his name but yes it is surprising Ballard is above him on the depth chart. We haven’t seen him throw much but he is an elite athlete no question
-
@nuleafjhawk Yes. I’m pretty sure I have heard Brian Hanni call him Zeke Marshall though
-
Zeke is a nickname for Isaiah/Isiah and started with Isiah Thomas of the Detroit Pistons which also happens to be where Isaiah Marshall is from.
-
Texas Tech is one of the best teams in the country and showed why tonight. They are a good team and with their remaining schedule should reach the Big 12 title game at 12-0.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I don’t see Tech getting tested from here on out. I hope Morton is okay for their sake
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Huh. And I always thought it was short for Ezekiel.
-
@Jhawk69 You are correct, Zeke is not short for Isiah. Isiah Thomas was called Zeke by his teammates and apparently a handful of folks have carried that on to other people. Isiah’s being called Zeke now are mostly done due to a misinterpreting of that. It would be like calling all Michael’s Air or LeBron’s King - it was a nickname for a specific person that got applied to others.
️ I suppose you could call any and all folks any random thing your heart desires and see if it sticks - it helps if you start with a famous one though.
-
@dylans I don’t care if they call Marshall Hezekiah, Bocephus or Jim. I’d just like to see him play. I’m not dogging Daniels. I just don’t think he’s great. I have a feeling that Marshall could be really special.
-
@nuleafjhawk If he can’t beat out Daniels, it’s likely he’s like any backup QB - a fan favorite until he gets extended minutes. Then the new backup is the fav!
-
@dylans JD has had a very solid year thus far not sure why anyone would think he needs benched at this point. The thing is with Marshall is he is a freak athlete but that doesn’t take he is a good QB. We are not at practice every week so if the staff has Ballard above him, there is a reason.
-
@dylans Might be some practical use shortening all Isiahs, at least some way:
“Isiah Thomas earned the nickname “Zeke” from a teammate, John Duren, who shortened the name “Isiah” because it was too long to say during a 1979 Pan American team practice. The nickname stuck because a song called “Zeke the Freak” was also popular that year”
Now I have to go listen to Zeke the Freak and see if it applied to Marshall as well
-
Hmm there are 3 words in that song. It works.
-
Apparently Lance and Joe got into a heated exchange post game over the tortillas being thrown repeatedly. Maybe this lights a fire under him.
-
@kjayhawks staff picks are not always the best.
-
Tech is on another planet. They likely won’t have a close game in league play.
-
Did u read a Swiss Army knife was thrown at a staff member? Our staff. There was a vote before season about throwing things, 15-1 against it, lone vote, u guessed it. Lance got after TT coach after game. Read they ball up those tortillas and also throw lil liquor bottles at visiting players.

Crazy the amount of hawk fans that want LL fired right now in X and Facebook. Insane at this point
