Ryan Gosling's lookalike has already won the hearts of many a Texas Tech student, but his latest move has likely deepened that affection.

Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury took out an ad in Thursday's edition of the Dailty Toreador, Texas Tech's student newspaper, to thank the student section for its passion this season.

It is a pre-emptive, back patting move, so Kingsbury gets props for the subtle strike on this one. Despite keeping it close against Texas last week, Iowa State is one of the Big 12's weaker programs, so the possibility of student complacency exists. And the last time that Iowa State was in Lubbock in 2011, it demolished the then-Tommy Tuberville led Red Raiders 41-7.

Also, don't you love how Kingsbury's ad has a very GQ photo of himself in it? Of course, it may not be possible for Kingsbury to take a not-GQ photo.
