I have been helping run the Viva twitter account for about 3 years. This was my third Texas week and subsequent game.
The jawing online is always fierce, and the pressure is always looming ahead as for years Texas had Tech’s number. The first two years were like that for me, lots of excitement and great content on twitter than devastating defeats. First, the heartbreaking loss against Texas in Lubbock in 2020. Then it was the massacre in Austin the following year.
As time expired, with Texas having gone the length of the field in 20 seconds to tie the game, it felt like I and all of Red Raider nation was looking at another hard to handle loss against Texas.
