Wednesday Notes

In Elmira, New York, WETM is predicting a Tech victory this weekend 27 - 24, and if you like stats, then you'll love this article. Elmira, New York, for those of you who are curious is located here and the Elmira area doppler radar. Elmira, New York, awesome.

Strange, no articles from the DMN. I guess I should resign myself to the idea that the DMN will only do articles as needed or if they are playing Texas.

The LAJ has the 2007 Texas Tech Red Raider football schedule as we are now playing hated rival Northwestern State. By the way, there's an article about Patrick Allen on texastech.com, but didn't think it was appropriate to link it here.

Travis Cram of the Daily Toreador details the offensive woes the Red Raiders have had in recent past with OU.

Olin Buchanon of Rivals.com believes that the Texas Tech - OU match up is the game of the week and I tend to agree. Although I think it is absolutely delicious the situation that Fran has gotten himself into in College Station. Fran has a lot of pressure to win out and it starts against Nebraska.

The Tulsa World's Dave Sittler has decent perspective about Leach and how he has the reputation to run up the score. Personally, I really think that this is a tired sports argument, you never let up on the pedal during a game, it's just not worth it. There will be days that you're on the other end of the stick, but you try to make sure that this doesn't happen, but you can't tell kids not to play. That seems to be real prohibitive getting players to play hard for you. Although I think it's important not to taunt or show up players, play with class, and I think that Tech did last week, so there shouldn't be any issues.

That's all of the football news for today, unfortunately.

Coach Knight is to receive the 2006 Pete Newell Award, here are the details:
"Knight will accept the award from Pete Newell prior to the start of the Texas Tech-Stanford game, the first game of the 2006 Pete Newell Challenge, which is set for Sunday, Dec. 3, 3:30 p.m., at HP Pavilion in San Jose. In the second game of the 10th-anniversary doubleheader, Nevada, ranked No. 24 in the Associated Press preseason poll, meets Cal."
