Reno Wrap-Up



Not really much more to say about the place - it's a smoker's wet dream, and I still smell like a dirty ashtray that's been on tour with Molly Hatchett. Seriously, my whole suitcase stinks.

The game was telling in a few ways. Tech had to find a way to win when the offense decided to not show up. Special teams helped, and the defense stepped up as well. Penalties are still killing the Red Raiders, but that's really nothing new.

What I took from this one (excluding the $6 beer that was sold in the stadium), is that Tech is a good team that found a way to win one on the road when all facets weren't clicking. A Tech team from recent history probably would not have won this one.

Hopefully a couple more home tune-ups will get this team ready to prove its worth, because right now, in my opinion, the Red Raiders are not a #12 team. In fact, they're not even top 15 - more like #20.

they sold beer in the stadium? that's a bonus. Did they allow smoking too?

I still want to pony up for the beerbelly for this year's Roosterbowl.

what's up with our offense? they're 0-2 on having a lame game, and we're not even in conference play yet. DAMMIT!

And who smokes??? That's so not done. ICK!

so how many $6 beers did you have, or did you bring a flask?

*a side note: remember, if you stash a bottle of vodka under the driver's seat, the cop hears it when you adjust the seat looking for the insurance papers.*
