Lots of butt-puckering up on the Plains. Ouch.

Cody Campbell will probably post a series of angry tweets about it. Watch out!

would have been good to have him, but Tech will still win without him.....

It says a lot about how good the rest of our team is......Hammond showed he could play last year and is much more mobile than Morton was....Better RBs, Better OL, Top TE coming back, D will be as good across the board as last year.....

Tech spent what, $4 million on this guy? You don't spend that kind of money on 1 player if you believe your 2nd option at QB can win in the playoffs. Tech has a good team for B12 standards no doubt, but Oregon exposed both Tech and how terrible the competition was that they played on a weekly basis.

I think Tech might lose to Houston in September, in Lubbock, or at least I'm thinking about it. will let you know. You might end up losing 3 games on an even weaker schedule than last year. I hope your RBs are healthy. If they are all going strong, you have an offense.

the laughing and signage from Cincinnati when you go there in Oct will be great fun.

Tech spent the money on Sorsby as they were not sure how Hammond would recover form his torn ACL. His recovery now is ahead of schedule, even though he will probably not play the first 3 games but early on there was question he would be back at all for the season.

Oregon exposed our average QB, which was the weak link in last years team. Sorsby would have been option A but Hammond is a solid option B.

"think Tech might lose to Houston in September, in Lubbock, or at least I'm thinking about it"

at night, in Lubbock.....I don't think so but thanks for thinking about it......

Hammond put up great numbers w the Hutto Highschool Hippos. didn't win much though. So he does seem to be in that Sorsby zone.

Oregon exposed more than your weak QB. He didn't give up 23 points to Oregon's offense. The problem Tceh has is the same thing every Big XII team faces every time they make the playoffs - over-inflated opinion of how good you are because you beat up on midgets every week. Then the playoffs come and the Big XII rep is just the tallest midget.

He shouldn't take another snap of college football anywhere.

Soooo TBAT is relying on a guy at the most important position in the field coming off of an ACL surgery? Sounds like they're headed into this season with the same major issue as the last one. Minus the guys who were just drafted highly from your defense
