A blog post by a Texas Christian University fan has many Texas Tech fans upset headed into Saturday's match up in Fort Worth.
The website's called Spit Blood.
A post titled "Tech Hate" starts off by saying Texas Tech is "the second most delusional school in the Big 12."
There's no let up of insults as you continue reading into the third paragraph.
"None of those mush brains even know how to read. Seriously, I bet Forrest Gump got an offer to go to Tech, but he decided on Alabama instead because the people at Tech were too dumb for him," the post reads.
As you could guess, the low blows weren't well received by so-called "mush brain" Tech students.
"That's really ignorant. They have no idea what they're talking about," Texas Tech Senior Patrick Kent said.
"I chose Tech for a reason, so that's just rude," Tech Sophomore Chandler Presnall added.
We showed more Red Raider fans the blog post.
Sentences like, "you have to remember when dealing with Tech fans that you have to talk very slowly and use small words," were insulting to everyone we spoke with.
"That just bothers me because (like she said) we're all nursing students. We work hard for our grades and we have the GPA we have now because of how hard we are working," Presnall said.
All agreed that the post went too far and wished the writer would have left the hard hits to the players on the field and away from the fan base.
As of Friday morning, the blog post titled "Tech Hate" had been removed from the page.
