Baylor played in Lubbock on a Saturday night this past season. Won 45-17. I’m sure the tech fans were refined, polite and welcoming for that one.Thursday night at Lubbock will be tough. Those fans will be liquored up big time. Will be a very hostile environment.
I see no evidence as to why BYU or Houston will improve from last year. UH is losing Tune and Dell from a team that was pure ass last year, and BYU has been very average under Sitake outside of the Mickey Mouse COVID year where they didn't play any P5 teams. Those two will need to make MAJOR strides to even get to bowl eligibility. In fact, I expect all 4 newcomers to really struggle since all of them are entering the league on a downward trajectory.I know we're all supposed to immediately analyze the difficulty of the schedule, but there are almost certainly a couple teams on there that we don't think will be that tough that will end up being very good and a couple that we think are going to be very tough games that end up being a cakewalk. That's the way it goes with almost every schedule every year. Trying to determine SOS on January 30 is a fool's errand but of course what the hell else are we going to talk about on here so I get it.
I know that there's a lot of momentum with thinking Tech will be really good next year. Maybe they will. But I also wouldn't be surprised if they're the exact same Tech team that they've been for about the last 7 years and we roll in there and win handily. We're also all assuming that OU will be back to the old OU. And again, maybe they will. But if Dillon Gabriel is still their QB and that defense isn't light years better than what it was last year then that could also end up being not as difficult as we all think right now.
Of course in the interest of fairness I also have to consider the possibility that maybe TCU ends up not being as good as we all hope and none of this [ Finebaum ] matters anyway. Regardless, one thing we know for certain is that Texas will be an easy W.
Anyone saying we “should” be 7-0 is setting themselves up for disappointment. We all hope to be 7-0 but that’s going to very very difficult.
Oh really???
Heckfire, they'd be D&D if the game were 10:30AM on a Sunday...Regardless, their fans will be drunk & disorderly by Thursday night game time.:
Baylor before Texas. Texas Tech on a Thursday before Baylor.
I’ll be hacked if someone loses their job over this. Del Conte leaked the secret ticket code that allowed Lupton to be covered with Aggies……and laughed about it. People do stupid stuff. Get over it.
Maybe we'll lose ours that quickly and they'll right the ship the way we did in 2022. Who knows?... And Baylor seems to have lost all their mojo from 2021 already.
OU goes 6-6OU leaked their schedule as well. It’s ridiculously easy (based on what we think we know currently, countryfrog).
I've read they have a road game at Houston on October 21, so I doubt that schedule is trueOU goes 6-6
Texas has a leaked schedule on Twitter. If it's true, Texas plays 4 straight weeks as follows:
at UCF
at Cincy
at BYU
vs Houston
Hilarious if true.
We do have a bye week the week beforeI still don’t understand the Thursday night game. Big XII and we’re gonna play on a Thursday.
Been to a lot of games in Lubbock. They will be liquored up, but it would be way worse if it was on Saturday. Definitely going to be hostile no matter what. Tech hates TCU more than any other school in the conference. TCU basically replaced aggy in that regard.Thursday night at Lubbock will be tough. Those fans will be liquored up big time.

I'll mention this again, how liquored up the crowd is and whether the game is at night, or 11:00, or on Thursday, friday or Saturday is stuff is WAAAAAYYY overrated. There is a huge difference between how important that stuff seems to fans and how much it makes a difference relative to who wins the game.Been to a lot of games in Lubbock.

Not trying to be a jerk (is this like Ricky Bobby pre-empting with "with all due respect"?), but how many losses do you think we "should" see in the first 7? I realize saying "we were just a National Championship team" seems weird, and we caught a bit of lightening in a bottle," but it wasn't all an accident.
We lost a Heisman finalist, although he didn't start because he didn't win the job to the guy that's coming back, and we lost a lot of experience on the OL, although we return some and added a 5-star. We also lost a 1st round WR and a stud RB but added a couple of 4/5 stars there and have/had a lot of talent behind them/coming in, and we're returning a lot on defense, added some talent there (Brooks returning is another big one), and it'll be an extra year in this new system. That's not to mention just trusting Sonny, Kaz, Joe, and the whole crew, but how many games do you think we should expect to drop in the first 7?
At this point I think I'd be disappointed if we are worse than 6-1 in the first 7, and "should" have a great shot at being 7-0. I know you also hate the KB hire, so maybe that's playing into your comments, but those first 7 should be W's, IMO.
