Editor’s note: As usual, The Kansan provided live tweet coverage of Kansas’ football game Saturday as Clark Goble (@cgoble89) detailed the loss the best he could within the restraints of 140 characters. Below are a few examples of what you might have missed.
*”Not too many press boxes where more than one reporter is sporting a cowboy hat. Lubbock, Texas everybody!”
*“End of the first quarter, 7-0 KU. Expected at least one offensive touchdown. I still think the offenses will get going soon. #kufball” (Ed.: Clark has tried to pioneer The Kansan’s usage of hashtagging. He has since seen the number of followers swell to 95 as a result.)
*”61-yard pass from Doege to Detron Lewis for the touchdown, 7-7. That just might open the offensive floodgates.”
*”Um... maybe that touchdown pass only opened Texas Tech’s floodgates. Three plays to Sharp leads to Rojas punt.”
*”I’m all for getting the right calls, but sometimes you just need to trust the referee’s decision. These stoppages kill the game’s rhythm.”
*”Texas Tech scores on two yard run. Of course, play is reviewed. Let’s just create robot referees, we’re pretty much there already. #kufball”
*”Halftime, 14-14. Not the game I anticipated. Whichever offense gets going in the second half will win. If neither do, it won’t be pretty.”
*”Missing: 21-24 year old male, blonde hair, very laid back and relaxed. Oh wait, there’s Kerry Meier. Never mind, my mistake. #kufball”
*”Reesing avoids tackler and finds Dez Briscoe wide open in the back of the endzone. 21-14 KU. Now that was 2008 Reesing-esque. #kufball” (Ed.: My, how quickly things can and did change...)
*”Fourth and goal at the KU goal line. Big play obviously.”
*”Batch finds the endzone, 21-21. 11 minutes left, and we’re back to square one.”
*”Reesing connects with Meier for just the second time thus far, but Meier fumbles trying to gain extra yards. TTU ball at KU 29.”
*”With that kind of room, half of the University could have scored that touchdown. 28-21 TTU. Little under 9 minutes left. #kufball”
*”Huh. Reesing fumbles snap on fourth-and-one and TTU scrambles for the touchdown, 35-21.”
*”Kale Pick.”
*”Final score: 42-21 TTU. It’ll B interesting 2 hear Mangino’s rationale 4 benching Sparky, enough was enough or was Pick the better option?”
