Texas Tech Coach Joey McGuire Goes On Hypocritical Postgame Rant After Win Over Houston - BroBible

McGuire opened his postgame press conference by thanking Pate directly, needling him for picking against Tech. "Keep it up, Pate. He's my buddy and everything, but keep picking against us, man. I appreciate that," McGuire told reporters. The win kicked off Big 12 play for the Red Raiders, and McGuire made clear he had been paying attention to the outside doubt heading into the matchup.

McGuire referenced Pate's comments that Tech "doesn't look the same" as it did in previous weeks, then pushed back with the scoreboard. "We don't look the same, but we're 3-0," he said. It's the kind of postgame moment that plays well on Tech Twitter and gets clipped fast, a coach settling a score in real time with cameras rolling.

For Red Raiders fans, McGuire's shot at a national analyst gives the fan base something to rally around beyond the box score. Programs love a villain, real or perceived, and McGuire handed his fans one by name.

Whether Pate responds is anyone's guess, but McGuire clearly wants him watching.
