Vegas is giving KState 3.5; Not a humiliating line. If I knew how, I
would start a vote on what you think the Tech line will be. 45 sounds
conservative.

This use to be my favorite weekend in sports. I know I might be overrating it a bit, but as a Red Raider Alum, this WAS the pinnacle. Having fully admitted that we would hang tough with either Texas or Oklahoma and then get blown out by the other one, this is were we could show, “Yes” we are the top of the second tier schools. I know that sound kind of cheesy, but it is the truth. Every Year as a tech fan I looked forward to the Tech Vs Aggie game. Now, I was actually disappointed when I realized that the Tech Vs Aggie game was this weekend. This year, Texas Tech is firmly entrenched as #2 in Texas while Texas A&M is stuck in the “also receiving votes” section of the Top 10. At 6-0 and ranked as high as #5, Texas Tech is enjoying a season that Lubbock hasn’t seen since Rodney Allison had them at 8-0 in 1976. On the other side of the spectrum, A&M has struggled to a 2-4 start and hoping to stay with 20.
What was once the second biggest intrastate rivalry game has now quickly plummeted to Earth as nothing more than a display of Tech’s offensive might over the hapless Fightin’ Aggies. What was once a 31-21-1 series lead for A&M has dwindled down to a 34-31-1 margin since 1995. Tech has won the past 3 games in the series, and looks to start a winning streak at Kyle Field for the first time since 1984.
Hopefully one day Texas A&M will rise above the Baylor’s of the world and claim their spot behind the other top programs once again, but I don’t see that day coming anytime soon. Then again, Baylor is better than A&M, so who knows. I will just mindless turn in as we drop a 50 or more on then and will probably not even waste the energy of calling my aggie friends to rub it in. I now look at them with there cult views and pity them that they can not break free from the Aggie bondage and must suffer as a die hard for a program that take solace in beating Army.
I am now looking forward to the Baylor vs. Tech game

won't waste the energy of calling your aggie friend to rub it in,... but on the other hand spent 5 hours on a post trying to sound like an intelligent tech fan...nice.
