When it was announced that the College Football Playoff committee named Kirby Hocutt as its new chairman, Texas Tech fans were ecstatic.
“This is great for Texas Tech’s brand!”, “The Double T will be represented on national television every week!”, “Kirby Hocutt is so well-respected among his peers!”
All of that is still true.
But boy is it tough to watch some Tuesdays when Hocutt is being berated for some of the rankings. I feel bad for him, since he’s not the one deciding everything, he just has to go defend everyone else’s mistakes to a national audience.
