Gail's Bio

I'm a senior at Texas Tech and grew up in Mesa, AZ and Lubbock, TX, thus a hardcore fan of all Dallas and Phoenix teams. I'm the biggest Tech fan you'll ever meet. This is going to be my last football season as a student, and I'm stoked.

Favorite Athletes

In as close an order as possible: Steve Nash, Wes Welker, any Mike Leach QB but especially Graham Harrell, Zach Thomas, Michael Crabtree, Marion Barber, Josh Hamilton, the entire Cowboys team of the early 90s, the entire 1995-96 Texas Tech basketball team, Chris Paul, Rafael Nadal
Favorite Sports Teams

Texas Tech football and basketball, Arizona State, Notre Dame, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers, Arizona Diamondbacks
Favorite Coaches

Tom Landry, Mike Leach, Bobby Knight, Bill Parcells, Lou Holtz (he's a terrible analyst, but was a truly brilliant coach)
Most Memorable Game Attended

Either Bob Knight's 880th win or the 2006 Insight Bowl where Tech made a 31 point comeback in a quarter and a half.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Records are made to be broken.
Unitas or Montana?

Roger Staubach

Hmm.. yeah. We did create a little history of our own.

I still can't believe COLD Mccoy is a Heisman runner-up. Whatever.

Anyway, I didn't graduate.. attended the ceremony for my graduating friends. Me graduating this coming summer.

Oh.. congratulations! What was ur major?

I was there.. but attended only the grad studs part coz I dinno any undergrads tht were graduating.

So whats next? Moving out of Lubbock?

Going to grad school?

About Harrell.... did you see his points? No wonder they didn't invite him.. it wasn't the Heisman committee's fault... its the voters.... ARGHH

Thanks Gail. Nice year by the Raiders. I really enjoyed watching them. Guess they just ran out of bullets at the end there. That game they played against Texas was an all time classic.

It's tough to get left out of the NC game, but just remember, it takes just as much luck to make the final of playoff. It's still only two teams getting in.
by RedRaider

If only it worked that way.

Coz at least 3 of those 112 teams are gonna get a BCS bowl and we're not.

e.g. ACC champion, Big East champion, Pac-10 champion if its Oregon State, also Ohio state if OR St. doesn't make it.

Its not that I'm not proud of our team for being 10-1... its just all the effort they put in to get to 10-0 was wasted by that "1" in the loss column. Its 10-4 effectively now. To be frank I kinda felt violated that day.

Anyway, herez hoping to some luck this weekend... already put up a new disp. pic reflecting the same.. haha! Afterall, don't forget... OU was hoping the impossible in 2006 when they needed the defending national champions, Longhorns, to lose their last 2 games to unranked K-State and aTm so that they can clinch the Big 12 south and guess what.. it happened!

Nothing is impossible. I am back to glass half full!

We may be 10-1, but without a lucky weekend, we'll be playing against a 4-loss team in a bowl.

Remember the good-ol' pre-2008 defense tht used to give up only 40 points a game?

God I miss them.
