Maybe Red Raiders will have a better chance at winning the Big 12 NOW? Probably a better chance, but Abilene Christian came to town & almost upset the RR’s! Tech & Nation will have to let go of a lot of money to obtain quality 4 & 5 star recruits. Lubbock sits alone is West Texas with the only thing going for it is Texas Tech. I was born and raised in Dirt Country. Most other University towns have more in entertainment & outdoor activities. However, Lubbock is closer to Ruidoso & Red River,NM when snow skiing season arrives. And, closer to the Cool mountains when HOT Texas summer s sizzles your bones ! I am a 72 year old veteran. I’ve been watching & following the Red Raiders a long time. Tech’s National Championship game was when they beat Colt McCoy & Texas to knock them out of the National champ running. That is their biggest “ Trophy”. The Red Raiders obtained their mascot name after Quanah Parker and the Red Raiders of the Llano Estacado. Quanah, TX was named after Quanah Parker. Texas Tech was originally the Matadors. That’s where the Native Hispanic influence became prevalent in Tech’s Architecture & overall Aesthetics of the campus. PS. The Greek word for mascot is witch, sorcerer.
I remember watching Mahomes play at Tech and thinking to myself, “Damn, that kid’s going to be a helluva pro!”
I was at this game. Pat was insane.
This gave me PTSD from how garbage we were under Kliff. It makes me appreciate what Joey looks to possibly be building in LBK.
I miss this Baylor team but one day we will be back on top it takes time

It's ashame Tech had the worst defense in the country while Mahomes was there.
