POTTS STILL HAS DOUBTERS

By mark rogers

A new, unbiased coaching staff came to town. Two veteran QBs were given a chance to compete for the starting job. The better man was named the starter. And a large...what shall we call it...section? of the fan base is angry.

Despite throwing for more than 3,000 yards and leading the Red Raiders to a phenomenal season last year, Taylor Potts still has (and will continue to have) major critics within his own fan base.

Just wait...the first mistake he makes will be showered with a throng of boos and "we want Sheffield" chants.

Where am I getting this?

The Texas Tech message boards, which (believe it or not) are a very good indicator of a fan base's pulse. Potts has his defenders, but there are enough detractors that we'll hear them loud and clear at the very first Potts' mishap.

Just wanted to throw that out there so you could be listening for it.

It will make me cringe, but it will also make me that much happier when Potts does something that makes all those detractors put their dirty shoes in their mouths.
