The talk on campus this week revolves around, for the most part, one thing: plans for the big game. Dylan McLaughlin says, "If it's away, we watch on the projector, get a keg. You know the usual." Jeff Fortune explains, "I'm going to be in Austin. So, I'm super excited."

With Tech in the BCS rankings for the first time in history, excitement oozes around these parts and t-shirts hot off the presses beg "beat Texas." Red Raider Outfitters is making sure there's a sea of red in Austin. When we ask manager Stephen Spiegelberg what Raider Red is doing to the longhorn on one t-shirt, he says, "The mascot is definitely choking the longhorn which Texas tends to do in big games. So we'll see if we can't get a win in Austin.
