He brought Texas Tech into national prominence and attained many records. Now B.J. is taking it a step further by breaking those new records, winning the BigXII, and winning the Heisman.

Good luck in the NFL, Kliff!

Has Kliff even played a single down in the NFL?

I didn't know the Heisman Trophy was awarded over the weekend. Way to go BJ!

It's mostly your fault. You abandoned him and jumped on the BJ bandwagon. Poor KK...

I also feel sorry for KK.

When he gets cut from the NFL, his tektard degree won't provide him with much in the way of career opportunity.

Klavensbury can always return to NBHS and teach P.E.

Kliff was placed on IR at the beginning of the season. From what I've read it was to protect other teams from attaining his talents than it was a real serious injury.

As opposed to your 3.1 at Blinn JC?

How long do you want to ignore this user?
a 3.8 at tektard would be like a 2.5 at blinn

Actually, that is correct. I am a close friend of his agent.

I started as a finance major at a&m and a 3.8 at tech would probably be a 3.6 at a&m... tech likes multiple choice exams

Symons and Kingsbury are both good quarterbacks. Kingsbury did not bring TT to their current status. The early success of Symons tells me your coach and "the system" have brought TT to where they are. It takes a talented QB to run your system. I'm not saying you can plug anyone into the QB spot and garner the same results. However, like KK I doubt Symons will do much on the next level. He will have one heck of fun season this year though.

Symons success this year further indicates the Kingsbury was a product of the system. Hate to say it but it's true.

Maybe dingleberry will be free this weekend to cut my grass. He can tell me about all of those NFL TDs he's never going to throw.

We didn't produce a quarterback that threw for a million yards to go with half a million touchdowns. The humor comes from the fact that his numbers mean nothing, and even tho he set records, he wont be good at his current level.

I saw yesterday that he was placed on the DL for the remainder of the season (arm) that's all it says. Poor Kliff.

And I suppose these numbers had nothing to do with the beating he put on y'all twice, not to mention once at Kyle? You can preach all you want about how numbers mean nothing, but the fact is that numbers produce results, and results produces wins. Maybe your team should try producing some "numbers"

Couldn't you say the same about Geoff or Aldo? That's right you don't know him or anything about him besides his football career. True many people that go to tech are UT and A&M rejects, as was Kliff. He wanted to play for UT or A&M, but the only schools that offered him were Mississippi State and Tech. Although tech is not as good a school as A&M or UT, they don't just give 3.8 gpa's to anyone. If so the entire football team would be Academic All-Americans like Kliff.

Going by the numbers he should have been the best quarterback the big twelve has ever seen. That isn't true. Numbers don't correlate to talent.

I see that you are pretty touchy on this subject, so I wont dig any deeper.

Yeah, but Geoff and Aldo are a lot bigger. And, of course, they're Aggies. And I'm an Aggie. So, I probably wouldn't say that.

Perhaps you don't understand the whole point of smack...

Sensing anything now?

Yeah, poor Kliff. He has to sit on IR and make six figures. But I'm sure all Aggies are used to making six figures coming straight out of college...probably like that new A&M graduate, wearing the ring who served me a burger and asked me if I would like fries with that the other day. He was a sharp looking fellow, probably just "stepping stone" job for him though.

the tektard is making less than his Aggie rookie team mate, I guess the fact that Aggie grads make more money than tektards holds true in all professions

...since when is not having an arm a reason to go on the IR?

I thought this thread was going to say: I feel sorry for Kliff Kingsbury...

This proves he was just a decent QB in a high percentage scheme.

Everyone at Tech should accept nothing less than a 4.0, they have unlimited Q-drops
