A lttle scattershooting at the Overton after an interesting day....

Although not into "moral victories," it did feel good to see our team come from behind twice by 21 points to make a game of it.

We were fortunate to have seats on the West side, the Saharan desert on the East side must have been brutal.

Tech still showed their lack of class by booing during the M Band's playing of Varsity.

The SMU alumni band puts the Tech alumni band to shame. It looked to be 200 folks in their alum band...and that's all they got?!?

The news tonight said something about 140 degrees on field - true?

In regards to fans, after we scored and were going for PAT I saw several cups in the end zone - obviously thrown from stands. Anyone see this?

Let's always win with class.

I think they were referring to the temp at the level of the turf...sort of like standing on hot asphalt...you can feel the heat coming up through your shoes.

That's what they were talking about. I saw 126 degrees (someone on the Tech board posted that).

Bottom line - it was hot.

Now that the Tech game is over, I am done dealing with the Raiders until we play them again. Some of the most classless fans in football.
