Only if you really love us...

It has been our pleasure to bring to you a Texas Tech blogging experience. We hope that our readers like us so much that they would throw a good word in for us as the 2007 College Football Blogger Awards kick off.

Rocky Top Talk is the clearinghouse for all of these awards - and in case you didn't know - they're kind of a big deal.

Take a peek at the 2006 Awards - their nominees and the eventual winners.

I won't be nominating us. I feel like that would be a little crass. Although some of you are wondering right now "Well if that's the case why is he bringing these awards up at all?" Well Mr. Smarty, I'm bringing it up in the hopes that there's a Red Raider out there that wants us to win an award.

By the way...I think our very own Ignatius J. Reilly should at least get nominated for the "Jenn Sterger's Rack Award" (Best Photoshop or gag post of the year) for his following efforts:

UT Football: Recruiting Champions

Job Options for Coach Fran

Everybody Loves Fran

Texas Tech Wins the MNC


Our all too infrequent contributor "yar" wrote our best piece to date - and incredible read on the Texas Tech/Texas A&M rivalry that is Pulitzer quality. Please Baby Jesus would somebody send this in for the "Tyrone Prothro and His Amazing Catch Award."

Cabron Guey created a great .gif for us:

I has a hat!


As for DiscoTech! I think our best shot to be recognized on this stage would be in the "Best New Blog" category.

Myself, I think I'm certainly going to throw a nomination in the hat for "Best Big 12 Blog." I'll be nominating Seth at Double T Nation. I'm continually amazed at the work that guy puts into his blog. Remarkable work from a guy that I also happen to like.

Thanks for your time.

We always appreciate you dropping by.

We appreciate your comments

The last few weeks have been the busiest in DiscoTech!'s short life - and I wanted to be sure we thanked our new visitors for dropping by and checking in on us.

We always encourage you to participate and make use of the "Add Comment" feature under each post. Lately, as we've been getting more traffic our comments have increased dramatically. I also imagine that it doesn't hurt when you have Ignatious J. Reilly turning out such cool farks and when your favorite football team explodes and then parts ways with their DC mid-season.

When reviewing the recent comments today - for the first time I felt like one was so particularly special that it required its own post. And by the way - this is in the post directly below - but to save you valuable time I'll paste it here for us to enjoy...


From "anonymous" (how clever and revealing):

Nice site. Appreciate the commentary and humor, including the nice pics of Mack recruiting.

But Tech talking about defense also is very funny. Changing coordinators won't help you. You have soft players who couldn't play for Texas and OU on defense. No coordinator is going to change this. Leach about said as much in his post-game comments.

Leach is an offensive genius. No question. But his offensive notoriety means that defensive standouts need not apply. Why would they go to Tech? Kinda like a blue chip running back. Why would he go?

Leach needs a Defensive Leach to compete. But again ... why would such a coach go there, when he can coach at a school where defenses do more than rip the flags off?

Tech's only hope is to find a "diamond-in-the-rough" up-and-comer as DC. It's a tall order.

Thus, until further notice, enjoy your 8-4 seasons, perennially ruining the Aggies' year and occasional ruining ours (but only when you play us at home at night and when the stars are perfectly aligned).

I don't think is was a reach to color his post orange.

Where shall I begin?

Are you new?

What defensive coordinator would not LOVE to coach a defense at Tech when he knows that the offense will keep him in nearly every game?

Our players may be playing soft due to lack of leadership and toughness...also known as a crappy defensive coordinator.

I do agree that blue chip running backs may not look at Tech seriously, but I guarantee you that blue-chip WRs and QBs know where Texas Tech is.

Or are you posting as "anonymous" because you're really Lyle Setencich?

Hmmmmmm.

I'm going on Vacation

Bond J. Bond will be taking a week off beginning tomorrow...I will be headed to a remote beach where I can relax with Mrs. Moneypenny. I've told my co-conspirators to keep it up while I'm out.

Important dates while I'm out...

Monday - Tour de France Stage 15
Tuesday - Cowboys begin Training Camp
Wednesday - Last day in the Pyrenees
Thursday - I attempt to rehabilitate my liver for the final push...
Friday - The tremors from lack of internet access begins to effect my putting.
Saturday - I arrive home to find that Q has written a dirty word in my yard with Roundup
Sunday - Sleep, Advil, Burger, Tylenol, repeat. (Also the trip into Paris for the TDF)

Keep your Guns Up and...Go Disco!!
