It was the year U2 was formed

I'm more interested in the last time they went 9-0.

Hopefully, that will be next week's subject. For now it's just 8.

Although it should be noted Tech has now won 10 straight games.

Magnum said...

that's a pretty solid win streak. Longest in the Big 12?

bake said...

not sure. I do know that the last loss came in Austin last year.

Magnum said...

well, the only other undefeated team in the big 12 is Texas, and they lost at Thanksgiving :-) that leaves Tech with the longest win streak in the conference.

Now I just did the math. Tech is tied with Penn State for the nation's longest winning streak at 10 games. Bama, Utah, Texas and Tulsa follow with 9 consecutive wins.
