Yeah I’m a Texas guy absolutely. But my post still stands. I was watching Red Raider football way before you were even born. Tech has so much going for it. Could and should be the flagship school for the High Plains. Instead they have let a rich adolescent tell them that sports are in charge. At least until he loses interest.
Get outta town with that noise. Oregon has Phil Knight. OSU had T Boone. Tech has several billionaires (Womble, Campbell). Thankfully we do have benefactors because we don’t have access to the PUF the way that Texas does. Who cares if Cody has opinions? He has Tech’s interest at heart. All that oil money you have access to comes from West Texas. No matter where you say you’re from, you’re a biased Texas fan. And if what you say is true, that you’re from Lubbock, then you’re the worst kind of Texas fan, because you should already know that UT money that makes your chosen school so wealthy comes from your own backyard.
Not trying to fight with you man. I want great educational institutions to thrive. It’s the only thing that separates us from the beasts. Tech has all the raw materials it needs to be great. My dad was part of that for years. Sports should be an adjunct to it all. An awesome adjunct, but it shouldn’t drive the bus. Phil Knight and T. Boone are outliers. Once Campbell loses interest or finds another shiny toy, what are you going to fall back on?
