I have friends in Lubbock, and I have followed them pretty closely. I heard the talk from their loyal fans, how the head coach predicted they would beat Nebraska four years ago. He said at the time it is the first step to winning the conference. They knew they were better, a lot better. He has predicted the upsets every year, he has his best QB ever, a real 4-5 star kid, a lot of experience and talent. He says they will win the conference this year. The guy has been pretty spot on for quite awhile. I know they will lose to some one they are not supposed to, but I think Tech will win the Big 12 this year. If Nebraska can not, I would like to see them do it. I have been to several games at Lubbock and have enjoyed myself at every one, even the 70-10 nightmare. I sat in their section at the Holiday Bowl and honestly had just as much fas as I have had Nebraska games. Great people, not full of them selves, hoping for a win, but not acting like they expect it. Climbing the ladder slowly in a very hard area for them to recruit.
