Texas Tech's win over Texas was one of the best college football games you will ever see. The game started with Tech absolutely dominating and Graham Harrell throwing the ball all over the field, and Tech even made big gains in the running game. But Pizza Parlor Derek texted me to remind me not to count my chickens before they were in the basket.
And sure enough, back came Texas. Harrell took a really bad sack that forced Tech into a long field goal which was blocked. On the very next play Texas got a 91-yard touchdown (great aggressive play calling). So instead of 32-19, the score was 29-26.
But Tech didn't pucker up, they kept fighting and kept trying to win. With the ball at the 25, on 3rd down and goal, they threw a long pass, instead of going for a short gain to make a field goal easier. They missed the pass and got the field goal.
But then it was Texas's turn to come right back, putting together a long scoring drive behind the Concierge's favorite player, Fozzy Whitaker.
But they left the Red Raiders too much time. Graham Harrell led and incredible drive, Mike Leach made a gutsy play call (there were only 8 seconds left) and Michael Crabtree did what Michal Crabtree does.
The fans triple rush the field reminds of a basketball game at the Dome during Syracuse's championship season when fans rushed after what they thought was the game-winning shot, then again when they thought time ran out, then again after review showed time actually had run out and Brandin Knight's chuck didn't beat the buzzer.
But no one was more excited than the Tech cheerleaders who ring the bell on the sideline. Sort of looks like they're doing more than just ringing a bell.

One of the best games I have seen. Great comeback by the horns...Sick last drive by Tech
I was actually in a bar for the final drive. People went crazy. Also, those dudes were definitely beating off into the bell.
