SWC 3 - SEC 0
That's a wrap! Sooooo... that makes it old Southwest Conference schools #SWClivesOn head-to-head versus the big, bad #SEC #JustMeansMore THREE to ZERO!
Outback Bowl
Arkansas wins the Outback Bowl. Agreed - we need this shirt, lol. Trophy poster has been updated!
Sugar Bowl
Sailor Bear sighting in NOLA! Ooopsies - church school... But all turned out Sweet as Sugar! Sugar Bowl Champions again.
Happy New Year
With Tech's win at the Liberty Bowl, I thought their New Year wish was appropriate!
Hog Toons
Just found a true delight I had overlooked - and in a year that Arkansas played so many #SWCmatchups.

Tech Goes Bowling
Pump Jack makes the trip. Cumbie is going ALL IN until the end! Before this game I was gonna make a #SWClivesOn vs #SEC bowl win record thing since UH just handed Auburn a loss... but then Texas Tech vs a Mike Leach Miss State was up next....
I didn't give Sonny enough credit. Poor Mike (I still love you!) Soooooo... the old Southwest Conference #SWClivesOn is 2-0 against the mighty #SEC in Bowl Games. #ItJustMeansMore Trolling this year has indeed been next level... And one last #SECchant. Thank you Sonny Cumbie! #PumpJackMentality #PJM
It Just Means More
Houston tops Auburn - and here is one savage tweet! I of course agree.
Week 14 Notes
All good things must end... Sonny Cumbie leaving Texas Tech after asked to stay on with Joey McGuire.
Baylor gets one hell of a stop.
Arkansas Collecting Hardware
Razorbacks are racking up some hardware and they got one left...
Week 13 - Pump Jack is Staying
OH by Texas Tech Equipment Staff: Anyone know where there is a red and black pump jack?. It will be staying! And she travels too! There was a time I drove to Waco to watch Tech play at Floyd Casey. I was so traumatized by the upset defeat, I NEVER went back... until they built a new stadium. After this and that bullshit loss two years ago at McClane, I may hate this stadium too.
10 Years Ago
The last Texas vs. Texas A&M game.
Week 11 Changed Texas Tech Football Forever
First, there is hope for Texas Tech with the hiring of Joey McGuire. Then Baylor humiliates Zero U. More field storming... warranted.
And then the pump jack thing happens - forever changing the future of Texas Tech Football... the On Field Pump Jack appears courtesy of interim coach Sonny Cumbie - seriously the greatest thing I have seen on a football field in decades! At that point I was completely checked out of the game, completely enamored, did not see a single play, focusing only on the sideline pump jack... for probably an HOUR. It is a real thing - not some franken engineering department creation. It is for a water well and they are available for around $1300 on the second hand market. The excitement #PumpJackMagic brought was astounding and glorious. The theory here is a pump jack JUST WORKS, no matter who is watching or who is not, it JUST GETS THE JOB DONE. #WorkAllTheTimeAllDay #PumpJackMentality But it gets better - an absolutely incredible game. Walk it off, Garibay! With a last second SIXTY TWO yard field goal! The Tech radio call is pretty much what it sounded like in my house too! And then we storm the field... For the record, casual storming of the field is ABSOLUTELY acceptable when you win on a 62 yard field goal. Wow! Pump Jack ain't going anywhere! #PumpJackMagic #WreckEmTech And Tech is going BOWLING!
And then... Kansas beats Texas. Just wow. My theory is because they wore the Jayhawk instead of the stupid Trajan font. Jayhawk Kansas > Trajan Kansas!
Week 10 SWC Matchup
TCU pulls it out to stop Baylor. TCU wore the spit blood unis (which just makes no sense) - spitting blood is a last resort defenseless move when all else is lost.... oh wait - I guess it does work after all. I guess Baylor should have spit blood... #Revivalry And TCU storms the field... sigh.
Rice Script!
Surprise revival of the Rice script helmet (minus the stripes, of course and rendered in silver) - I should have seen this coming. When I went on my SWC stadium Tour in 2019, their shop had a Rice script "half shirt". Here is a summary of Rice Helmets through the 70s and 80s.
Arkansas Stars & Stripes
Arkansas donned a stars & stripes decal.
Week 9 SWC Matchups
Texas stunk it up... How in the world did they score 70 points on Texas Tech?
Houston - SMU
10 year anniversary of Corso's most iconic College Game Day moment. Oh my gosh... UH stormed the field for beating SMU - this is getting ridiculous!
Week 8
Thank you, Jesus. Matt Wells has been fired.
Sailor Bear
Baylor refuses to wear these against old SWC foes... but nice old school photo montage!
"In what, golf?"
Some seriously next Level trolling after Aggies won a stunner against Alabama. After the win, Kyle Field was playing "If you're gonna play in Texas" by Alabama on the loud speakers!
Worth every dollar of any fines coming! I have never, ever seen Kyle Field like that... A proper field storming - looked like the entire population of college station out on kyle field. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. Holy Shit - Northgate, look out! For sure the strangest golf game I have ever seen at Kyle Field - perfect tweet!
Tech Throwback with Silver (well, kind of...) Britches
The 1996 throwbacks made the Gear Up segment on ESPN. They looked great for the Battle for the Saddle (this photo actually makes the pants look silver. Comparison here. Under Armour of course did this in 2014 (with the cool striped sleeve undershirts).
Texas/OU
What time is it? Look Here!and #OUstillSucks! Great #GameDaySign here. Sark's suit did not end up being lucky. Got a strong start with a score on the first play - but in the end lost even though being up 28-7. Well, at least our mascot isn't a mobile home...
And NEVER forget - Sooners pay $$$ just to use the Horns Down... ha ha!
Week 5
Gonna seem slow with just one SWC matchup today. Texas heads to Fort Worth. Ooops, Game Day crew just all picked Texas - TCU has a chance.
Tripled Up in Week 3!
My goodness, what a start to the year! The 100th meeting between TCU and SMU battling for the Iron Skillet. Wasn't played last year due to "Covid", or so TCU says according to Rashee Rice. And it seems I missed this epic bit of trolling last year! SMU rolled TCU, this tweet did not age well, and the SMU did some more trolling... #PonyUpFortWorth
And a Southwest Classic between Arkansas and A&M. I smelled this upset coming all the way! Even the Aggies were clapping for the Arkansas performance... Fairly savage trolling by Arkansas. And the twitter guy was completely prepared for the win. I still have not forgiven Arkansas for breaking up the SWC - but boy, Sam Pittman has me taking a shine to Arkansas. TURN THAT DAMN JUKEBOX ON!
Don't quit now - although, we certainly should have. Because Texas did more than roll Tech... ouch. Can we hire the Meat Judging coach to coach Tech Football? He could not be any worse. Nope, still not fired...
UH Fauxbacks
Sweet mother of... wow, these are nice! UH surprised us with a classic looking treat. Old school locking UH pre 1995 - but on a white helmet. Sleeve stripes, team name, and slightly larger numbers are basically the current style except outlined in black ginving it a classic old school football look. Nice black-red-black wide pant striping. Supremely beautiful.
Doubled Up Again in Week 2
Houston at Rice in The Bayou Bucket. Hey, the bucket is back on the logo! I guess since Dana can't Wreck Tech, he settled for a bucket.
One really bitter SWC rivalry. I considered going back this week - but the Hogs could pretty much only throw up Horns Down signs during the Rice game - so I think that would have been a pretty heated atmosphere, and way too populated for me! Who would have expected that outcome after struggling so mightyly against Rice. Wow. Arkansas welcomed Texas to the SEC.
A Grand Start
TWO SWC matchups in week 1!
Thirty years in the making, not since Arkansas left the SWC has Arkansas played Rice. I braved the college kids with no masks, SEC fans that apparently can count to 100, and sat in the corner upper deck (nice breeze, excellent social distancing, and free!) and enjoyed watching Rice give them a good fight.
Wow, look at the midfield turf art in this clip! And sideline boys in short shorts.. Pretty close to the last time these teams played.
Second up is Houston at Texas Tech. Say what, Dana? Well, we Wrecked Dana!
Add Texas to the Shit List...
Texas and Arkansas deserve each other... I still have not forgiven Arkansas for fleeing to the SEC (how has that worked out for you, by the way?). And now our beloved longhorns... Sigh. So many SWC matchups gone, one added... meh. The real problem here is where everyone falls. Enjoy these four years - they are ruining college football. More on this later. I am too livid to type any more now.
