About Gail »

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.

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.

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.
