When I’m enjoying a great CFP game between 2 good head coaches and 2 fantastic college QBs but then I find out the TV ratings are only 6.5 instead of 8.0😭😭

This might be the dumbest post I've seen on Twitter this weekend. (regarding CFB -- no warranties expressed or implied on the rest of Twitter).
Just a three minute look at @TexasTechFB under Coach McGuire shows:
1) He's won 8+ games every season since being hired. In the 15 years prior Tech's win totals ranged from 4 to 7 games.
2) He's had a winning Big 12 record every year since he took over (including the last two years Oklahoma and Texas were in the league).
Prior to his arrival in 2022, Tech hadn't had a winning Big 12 conference record since 2009.
3) High School recruiting at Tech has improved from #48 when McGuire took over to #10 currently. That improvement has been incremental each year (43, 25, 18, 10).
Tech's last Top 25 class came under Tommy Tuberville in 2010, and prior to that they had two Top 25 classes under Mike Leach.
So in four years McGuire has had more Top 25 classes than the last 25 years combined. And that would probably go back to 50 years if I had time to do that much research.
There's no doubt that the NIL era has helped Tech, as they have more resources than any other Big 12 program and most of the P4, including most in the SEC and Big Ten.
But the improvements in record and recruiting came before NIL and Cody Campbell's donations started.
The grass is always greener with fans, and these asinine "fire the coach!" posts are also coming from fan bases at Georgia, Alabama, and every other school that has suffered an upset loss.
That's why fans aren't in charge of hiring and firing. If they were every school would be looking for a new coach every season.

Thank you, I was struggling
Game 7 has been a curse for Texas Tech recently 😬
For the fourth straight year, the Red Raiders have lost their 7th game of the season.
The good news?
Texas Tech has been one of the best teams in the country at home over the past 2 seasons — not losing a single home game.
We have a Top 25 matchup this weekend in Lubbock. A huge opportunity to bounce back in a huge way ‼️
As Houston leads 3-0 over Utah, a massive MUST WIN for both teams looms large in Lubbock as Arizona comes to town hot after a dominant win over Iowa State
Ignoring all the FGs, 14 point swing right before half & you lose by 13
Feels like EVERYTHING went wrong on offense and somehow one thing goes differently and you’re right there
Unfortunately I don’t think Cincy will make this loss look any better with the restt of their games
I hate to say it but garbage points here kinda matter. Committee members don’t watch these games, many will look at final scores.
Same reason why running it up matters
Going to have to be perfect from here on out. Can’t expect two of
Oklahoma State
BYU
Utah
Houston
Arizona
to have 2 losses. If you want Arlington you need to win out. Offense needs to figure this out fast
The worst part of this is that this cincinnati secondary is especially bad. Gave up 498 passing yards to Michael Hawkins last week.
We should have been able to light them up with solely our playmakers
Ultimately the 5 field goals and the last 1:30 minutes before half is going to cost us this game.
Joey preaches it. Have to win the middle 8 and it was as bad as it could be today. 14 point swing right before half
You’re down 2 scores with 6:50 left and 1 timeout. Defense has to sell out to make stops….leads to house calls.
Brutal look
If stone makes that 38 yarder and kenny comes down with the 2 point conversation that’s +5.
Makes it 31-23…. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
Way too many FGs man. Feels like this game should be a lot closer but the offense keeps stalling
Kicking the FG there after wasting the two timeouts is doomsday scenario.
If you’re a still going to have to score twice you need every SECOND
However l, I don’t inherently disagree with kicking there. The chances of our offense converting 4th & goal from the 16 are terrible
HOW are we not ready to hike the ball after a timeout. 2 wasted timeouts on this drive. Going to cost us 80 seconds later
