A two-point Thursday shouldn't cost this much blood pressure, but 3-0 beats arguing with the announcer.
The emotional rollercoaster
Texas Tech fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Texas Tech moved to 3-0 by beating Houston 28-26, which sounds tidier than it felt. The turning point was the decision to play this one on a Thursday night, which meant the sweating started early. One fan noted that "high heart rates and tense shoulders are supposed to be reserved for Saturdays," a reasonable complaint about scheduling and cardiology alike. Another spent the evening on the broadcast crew: "Is this announcer blind as fuck?" Misery dropped from 66 to 36. Undefeated, unwell, functional enough.

“Why the fuck is Houston so adamant on passing downfield rather than running or doing the short pass game? They've been carving us up in that range.”
