2009 Red Raiders:


Although I believe Tech will be better overall than last year, that may not factor into its final record.

Losing early in September and staying focused for the rest of the season is more desirable than winning every game until November, and then completely falling apart.


Sept. 5, 2009 University of Mother Teresa
A cream puff to open up with - what's new really?
Hopefully a good way for Potts to shake the butterflies.

Sept. 12, 2009 Rice
More of a stiff test before the first road game to Austin.
Final opportunity to work out kinks before Horns game. Expect
to be pushed for a quarter.

Sept. 19, 2009 at Texas
Am really happy this game moved up to September - Austin
traditionally is deflating, and I'd rather lose early here
than in November. (see Horns 2008) I do, however, believe
Tech can win this one - UT has EVERYTHING to lose.

A good road-test in front of what seemingly should
be a predominately scarlet/black filled stadium. This
one could prove to be a beartrap if the Horns game gets
out of hand - or even if it doesn't, and the unexpected
happens.

Final pre-season game - after this one, we'll
know for sure who can do what. This one should/will get
out of hand.

Oct. 10, 2009 Kansas State

Expect a game much like 2005 - tight early, but the
Cats are in over their heads this year.

Another tough road game - could come down to
the end like in 2005.

The streak won't continue forever, but it is
safe for now. Big win.

Oct. 31, 2009 Kansas

Tech is better than KU at home even if Reesing has
a monster game.

Nov. 14, 2009 at OK State

This is the one we really need - haven't beaten
these choads in Stoolwater in a while. An important
game that could very well decide which direction this
team goes headed into the home stretch.

Nov. 21, 2009 Oklahoma

Although still a beast, I like Tech at home against
Blow U. Jones T&A will prove to be the difference.

Nov. 28, 2009 at Baylor

Could very well be a lot of points scored by both teams - Tech is the better
team and should win big.

you didn't actually do much predicting. Way to play it safe. I actually agree that Tech could shock the horns in Austin. Picking Ags to win in Lubbock.

Oh, I think 10-2 is the safe bet, but I am hoping for better. Anything less is disappointing.

I tried to key in on the games I believe are crucial.
