They Lost Because of philosophy

It is my opinion thta last night's game summed up the entire tenure of Darrell Dicky, "play them close, stick around and eventually steal a win."

From watching the last night's game it was obvious that our team knows how to pay close but does not know how win. Look at the number of close losses over the seasons past and you will see my point proven.

Over Dickey's entire time with us, you could count the number of long, time consuming drives we have had on two hands. We have depended on the big play to win.

When we had really good defenses, we were able to win dispite this philosophy. Now with mediocre defenses we play close but dont have the offense trained to win. They are afraid to loose but dont know how to win.

Let's all hope that the next coach teaches our Mean Green to play to win and not to play not to loose.

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      Scrap'em is (or was) a thing. I remember in the late 90s there was some sort of Administration decision that "Scrap'em Eagles" would be our official battle cry. Probably only a few people were ever aware of it, but Talons got the memo.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      It all comes down to this. The softball ladies are a game behind FAU and Charlotte for first place in the conference. The Mean Green already own the tiebreaker 2-1 with FAU, so winning two of three in Charlotte this weekend would also be huge in that it would give the ladies the tiebreaker over both teams in case there is a three-way tie at 19-8. The biggest reason to try to take two of three in Charlotte is that second and third place in the conference is the difference between having to win just two games in two days to make it to the NCAA Tournament, or four games in four days. We can't finish lower than third. Fourth place Tulsa is 3 games behind UNT, and we swept them earlier in the year. Tulsa plays at FAU this weekend. Charlotte will be a tough out. Last year by way of playing one fewer conference game due to a rainout, they finished with one loss fewer than UNT and won the regular season title. However, we took two of three at home to the 49ers before beating them again in the conference tournament. They still made it to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large. This year, Charlotte has taken 2 of 3 at USF and vs. Wichita State while sweeping the likes of UAB and Tulsa, and are on an 11-game win streak overall. Standings going into the final weekend. The conference tournament is May 8-11 in Wichita. If we make it to the final on Saturday at 11 am, be prepared to drop everything and head up to Kansas to support! SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT.

      Texas Tech season tickets sold out this year

      Dog shit excuse. It has nothing to do with anything. It's one of the same several excuses used in an attempt to put a curtain up and around the real problems.

      They do have a lot of advantages in that an entire region of the state is theirs.
