Tech has done an incredible job with NIL and turned their brand from "regional" to one that is now marketed nationally. More power to them.

This.

Tell me about our conference titles and playoff games..!! We haven't won either this century..!

---

Sure, Tech won a conference title and earned a first round bye.

But that's totally worse than our first round exit and missing the SEC championship because we couldn't close. Losers.

And A&M and sip should both be embarrassed. The state of TX football is ours. How is no one else still mad about losing to the swine?

Sand fleas. SAND FLEAS are on the national stage. Might as well give Zach Thomas a hanj while you're at it.

Do you think any of the German or Italian tourists noticed the billboard? That's the real question.

These guys had one good season and feel like they need to advertise their portal commits to the world. Ridiculous.

It's called marketing. You know how cool it is to an 18-21 year old guy to have his picture and name on Times Square billboard? Not something I'd personally find cool, but they sure do.

"Come to Tech and get paid millions and also get your name image and likeness posted on one of the most visible signs in the world - you've officially made it to the big time"

Why so we can get some recruits like the Swede that were under utilized or not developed. Lol!

Little do they know...

"Come to Tech and get paid millions and be part of a scrub school that no one in TX regards as a powerhouse. Do you like STDs? Have those too! Come to the place where Mahomes played! Maybe find a Taylor Swift type bc our program doesn't play any legitimate teams!"

Ill be surprised is tech doesnt get coleman after what their big money donar recently posted, something to the effect of wait till you see who is next.

Unfortunately they will be 11-1 or 12-0 next season their schedule is an absolute effing joke.

---

big 12 needs to take a 1 loss ding for their schedule.

---

Hopefully after that turd they laid big12 will never get a bye or overhyped again.

If you look at their recruiting, most of them are all three stars. They go out and buy some great players, but they can't get enough of them to be competitive at the highest level. You have to give them credit because they didn't have a good quarterback, and they went out and bought one. But they'll have too many holes next year to fill and it'll end up just like this year. The first time they meet up with a good team they'll get their asses kicked. Mediocre academic school in West Texas with a small stadium in a weak conference. Why advertise in a broken city with a communist mayor. Go tards!

Don't they realize no one in NYC cares much about anything that happens outside of NYC?

The sports management agency that put up the ad also posted the photo of it on their instagram. It is not isolated to just Times Square. It is a showcase to attract clients to the agency, appealing to the vanity of man

The comments on here are comical.. Tech is doing a great job staying relevant. I wonder if they give two shts about what TexAgs thinks about their marketing. Today's student athlete loves to see this kind of stuff.

Lol! Tceh went from regional embarrassment to national embarrassment. Congrats, I guess?

Not same scenario but we did the same for the heisman.

You could argue that their season wasn't all that great. A Big 12 title is nice but a 23-0 whooping against the first real team is not great. The loss against Arizona State was horrible and they didn't even get punished for it.

@Utah was probably their best win.

---

First conference title since the 90s. First ever playoff appearance. I'd say it was a great season for Texas tech.

I'd take a conference title and quarterfinal loss.

In today's college athletics you have to capitalize on the media attention and success immediately. Just like we did with Johnny football

Dumb

Tech went from a nobody to a recruiting powerhouse basically overnight. They were smart about NIL and its reaping the benefits

They did not have a good season. They played nobody and a PAC 12 reject punched them in the mouth.

Bc they had a bye, they are claiming supremacy in the state of TX.

Had we handled our GD business against sip, this would all go away.

My God you lot are stupid.

---

I wouldnt really consider Oregon a pac12 reject.

It was a failed conference with escapees going to the others. Call them what you will.

That "powerhouse" finished 18th in the recruiting rankings this year dip****

Well, the ad worked evidently. We have a thread on TexAgs now.

Problem is no one gives a s**t about college football in Manhattan. Heck, most tourists that hang around Times Sq hardly speak English.

It's about being seen, and creating chatter.
Yeah, several are gonna say "who? and where?"....but then some of those same people may actually start a Google search on their phone.

There's no such thing as bad press.
Case in point, it even showed up here on TexAgs, and now several of us are chattering about it.

---

But there is such a thing called targeted marketing. Much better ROI.

Spend the $ in recruiting hotbeds like Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans or even Los Angeles.

lol. They're paying for a billboard. Not impressive.

Well, being as about 20-25 years ago they couldn't even afford stamps to mail recruiting letters, this is pretty monumental progress

ElephantRider said:

---

They give even less of a **** about what's going on at some ****hole school in Lubbock, TX

---

Let's be honest, if A&M ran a similar ad there, the reaction would be exactly the same.

The only thing good about Lubbock is seeing it in the rear view mirror.

good one buddy.!

NAME. IMAGE. LIKENESS.

He was paid 5 million so they use it on the time square billboard for 1 hour.

Divining Rod said:

thats overly harsh. they had one bad game, like most of the best teams. And even then, they showcased an amazing D.

The AZ St game i guess you dont know much about.

So yeah, they're picking up their marketing.

---

Sorry but TT was immensely overranked but they did only have a single loss. Problem is, they play nobody all season and this will only repeat next year.

And I think if they get another legit matchup in CFP for 2026, they get the rear ends beat again in embarrassing fashion.

Bama and Tech were jokes of the CFP. A&M was absolutely one of the Top 5 teams in the CFP and got totally screwed with their seeding. Go watch Miami win it all with their most competitive game against A&M.

Or really let your balls hang low and do all of the above, and then some.

*****ttceh.this is ******ed and a waste of money. Nobody in times square gives 2 ****s about tceh nor has any idea where Lubbock is. Tceh had such a soft schedule they didnt deserve to be where they got.
