Texas Tech Running Up the Score....

[tedginn05]

they were talking about college football and then they mentioned Texas Tech's game this weekend against Indiana State, apparently TTU head coach said he plans to hang 100 on Indiana State, i really don't like when a team runs a score up like that or even gets the idea of doing it

I heard something to that effect on the radio, but it was a player who said he wanted to score 100 pts (I think it was the QB). the coach in turn said that he isnt going to tell his players to not score. Not that the coach was the one trying to get his players to score 100 or setting that goal for them.

 

[tedginn05]

yea thats what it was, i think it was the coach that said that he would put his back-ups in but wouldn't tell them to not play hard

This just in, Troy Smith says, "we're going to hang half a 30 on Iowa".

Of course, 6 of it will come from a Whitner pick and another 6 from Huston.

Sounds like ESPiN is spinning again!!!

 

[dragonknight]

Half a 30? We're getting cocky now.

 

[daddyphatsacs]

Fuck Texas Tech. If I played in their league I'd keep my starters in the whole game, and run it up on them.

15 (Half of 30) - 6 (Whitner) - 6 (Huston) = 2?

:tongue2:

Sorry not trying to be a jerk. I know you meant to have the extra point on there.

Well I attributed the XP to Huston....it's not like I forgot it.

When Barry used to say he was going to "hang half a hundred" it was an expression...usually about seven touchdowns because they did not kick field goals before Mike Nugent was born. So it's an approximation.:tongue2:

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Barry Switzer? Barry Sanders? Barry Manilow?

Well, let's think about this one. If 6 come from Huston, but 1 is an extra point, then he needs to pick up 5 more points. Very interesting.... Obviously, if I've learned ANYTHING in my 27 years of watching football, I've learned that the ground can't cause a fumble and a safety/FG is the only way to score 5 points.

So, my question to you is, HOW IN THE HELL IS HUSTON GOING TO GET A SAFETY!?!?!

Here's my thought: I think after Huston kicks off following his field goal, the Iowa returner catches it at the one yard line, runs backward, and dances around in the end zone. Huston runs down field and makes the tackle in the end zone all by himself. Then he gets up a yells "SEE!?!?! THAT'S NOT SO FUCKING HARD!!! WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS JUST DO THAT IN THE STUPID TEXAS GAME?????"

Huston can get a safety on an extra point. If there is a kick attempt and the ball is fumbled, a defensive player recovers the ball, and runs around, ending up in the endzone, and gets tackled by Huston in the endzone, then that would be considered a safety. It's really very simple.

Happened to us last year v. A&M. Only a 1pt safety.

3rd 13:33 UT - Tatum, Bobby 10 yd blocked punt return (TEAM kick failed - 1pt safety)
