strive for honor, ever more,

LONG LIVE THE MA - TA - DORS!!!
omg - who saw the game Saturday night? (And if you didn't shame on you. They're replaying it on ESPN Tuesday night.)
Our Red Raiders dominated those wimpy longhorns 39-33.
A lot of us went to Wayne and Lauren's to eat wings and pizza, play beer pong, ping pong and washers, and root our RAIDERS TO VICTORY.
Eating up so we can build our stamina to cheer. Little Caesar's, pizza pizza.OK so here's the scene, we were all so paranoid that no one was allowed to move from these positions the whole game. Including potty breaks!! Including if you were standing!Including if you were Ben and you were sitting outside when we scored our first two points on a safety. Sorry bout cha Ben!!This pic is entitled Blake vs. THE DOOR. Wayne and Lauren have an old house and Blake was the only one who seemed to have problems with their sliding glass door.
FIRST TOUCH DOWN!!! My arm looks like it's 10 ft long.(Ben was a little delayed on his reaction.)
Lauren's uncomfortable seat that she was confined to. What an honorary Raider. OK so here's the pass to Crabtree with 1 sec left. (Lauren Mitchell did such a good job capturing these scenes.)Touchdown! Crank that Crabtree!!! He shrugged off that Texas defender like he was a 2nd grader.JUBILATION. I think my Dad is about to do a chest bump. Christy needs to move if she knows what's good for her. Keely and Stitch (the doggies) were PUMPED!HORNS DOWN! (Look at the Tech students rushing the field when the game wasn't over. Oh jeez.)Wayne and Lauren were pumped. Texting/calling all those Longhorns that were talking mess before the game. Not so sure of yourselves now are you? Why don't you go help your QB wipe the blood of his face?Celebratory beer pong.Wayne and Blake dominated.
Lauren and Greg getting beat at beer pong. I love that shirt. I want a BEVO BURGER!
Ping pong champs. How Charlie was standing at this point in time I don't know.



Why do I love Tech so much?
1. We're like the red headed stepchild team of Texas. No matter how well we do, Houston radio, tv and the Chronicle never mention us. And don't even BRING UP the sportscasters on ABC Sat night. Colt McCoy could commit murder and they would turn it into something positive. (We totally wanted to turn down the volume on the tv and listen to the Tech announcer on the radio but we were afraid we'd mess up our chi.) I did feel sad after he got sacked for the 4th time and had blood running down his face. NOT!!
2. Our kicker is a WALK ON who won a contest at half time at one of the home games. We're so scrappy I love it.
3. Our coach thinks he's a pirate and quotes Sharon Stone after wins.
4. We CRANK THAT CRABTREE. :)
5. And to anyone who says we ONLY won bc of that last TD: numbers don't lie. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/76970-texas-texas-tech-by-the-numbers
