Texas Tech looks to be in for another tough year after going 4-8 last year.  They were 41 point favorites against Houston Baptist and won 35-33 on a failed 2-pt conversation late in the 4th.  I wasn't able to watch the game as I didn't get the channel, but looking at the box score shows that it was a pretty ugly game.  11K fans were in attendance to watch HBU roll up 600 yards of offense, which doesn't bode well for trying to stop OU or Texas later in the year. 

The good news is that at least Tech avoided the upset, while other Big XII teams lost.  Tech did have a 21-3 lead early in the second half of the game and may have just gone to sleep after that.  Maybe a sloppy game is just the norm for most teams after a COVID restricted offseason.

Probably better than Texas Tech?

But maybe not?

No game for Tech this weekend.  Next up is Texas.  Oh man, it's gonna be ugly.

I guess that we can all go back to our regular teams now. 

But we can still follow these dopes in the meantime.

K-State lost to Arkansas state

UNC had a game canceled. I think La. Tech did too. 

Of random teams I mentioned Army is good, Navy is bad, others haven't started. 

Navy does play Tulane, another option-y team that is enjoyable. And their coach is the kind who should probably get hired but is a little too old and has an offense that's a little too unusual in the wrong way.
