Tonight both KSU (at TCU on ESPN2) and Texas Tech (hosting Texas on ESPN) play their next to last regular season conference games.

Both games are on at 8:00 PM CT, and of course I am hoping for two upsets tonight.

On the one hand, it would be nice to be able to watch them both one at a time, not having to go from one to the other.

On the other, having ESPN+ I will have one on the TV and the other on my iPad, so I will only have to spend roughly two hours watching the opposition.

And because they are happening at the same time, neither team gets a possible boost by already knowing the results of the other game before their game starts.

So I guess for me it’s a blessing.

But how about those who want to see both at the same time and don’t have alternatives such as mine?

Sports bar where they can see both? In this weather? To watch the other guys?

I don’t know.

Just hoping for the underdog to come through twice tonight.

No problem for me, will only watch the KSU game - will follow the TT score on another laptop. I take it you haven't looked at Asteroid's projection, as he has TCU a .6 point favorite.

I'll probably flip between the two. I am big time hoping for a TCU win. I don't see Texas pulling it off but who knows. I see TT stumbling at ISU but I could be wrong. They could win out. Same with the kitties...

I'll say it again, I'd be fine with with TT winning the league. I think Chris Beard has done an awesome job there. I don't have any respect for Bruce Webber. To me, the weirdest of the mock funeral for Self was enough for me to never want anything good for him LOL.

Clearly rooting for Texas and TCU tonight. I think TCU has a better chance than Texas does. KSU has the an easier game on Saturday than KU or Tech, so we really need TCU to get it done tonight. Tech could lose tonight, but if they don't, they'll have a tough test in Ames on Saturday.

Oh, and we need to win the next 2 games too. ;)

Oh, I saw it, but the way KSU and TT have been playing (IIRC the lost loss by each was to KU), I tend to put less weight on the math models.

I hear you, HE. Interesting that the line was KSU by 2 this morning, now by 1.5. Line is 7.5 for TTU, Asteroid has TTU by 7.4. I was hoping that Roach would be back for UT. Imagine both games will be close.
