Last season, interim head coach Sonny Cumbie led the Red Raiders to a Liberty Bowl victory over Mississippi State 34-7. Fast forward a year and head coach Joey McGuire has led the Red Raiders to a victory over Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin with a final score of 42-25...
When Kliff Kingsbury finished his first season at Texas Tech in 2013 at 7-5, Kirby Hocutt and the Athletic Department extended his contract. In hindsight, there wasn't any reason to extend that early, but it was a showing of good faith after a solid start...
Texas Tech football is recruiting again.
I guess they never stopped, but Joey McGuire and his staff have turned in the most impressive class at Texas Tech since 2011 according to the recruiting metrics. That 2011 class brought the Red Raiders Jakeem Grant, LaRaven Clark, DeAndre Washington, Jace Amaro, and many more...
Late on Sunday news started to break that Mike Leach was in serious condition and being rushed to a Mississippi Hospital. By Tuesday morning, it had been confirmed that Mike Leach had passed away. The past 48 hours have been an outpouring of love and respect by former coaches, players, and fans for The Pirate and his family...
In the middle of 2022, I was worried about the 2023 Texas Tech defense. Tyree Wilson, Muddy Waters, Adrian Frye, Malik Dunlap, Reggie Pearson, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, Rayshad Williams, Krishon Merriweather, Tony Bradford, and Jaylon Hutchings were all out of eligibility or potentially leaving this offseason for an opportunity with the NFL.

Joey McGuire was the perfect hire for Texas Tech. His first season certainly wasn't perfect, but with Matt Wells and Kliff Kingsbury's talent, Joey McGuire led the Red Raiders to their best season since 2009.
You might scoff at the 7-5 record being their best season, but that's how down Texas Tech football has been...
At Big 12 Media Days in July Joey McGuire said, "We're gonna beat OU and then we're gonna knock down the end zone." He was referencing the South Endzone project that starts when the regular season ends.
Fast forward to a 6-5 Texas Tech team facing a 6-5 Oklahoma Sooners team...
Tyree Wilson was really freaking good this season. I think we probably underrated him as a Red Raider, even while giving him high praise. That's just how good he is. He's got all the measurables and production to match up to a first-round NFL draft pick, and that's where he's officially headed...
The Big 12 has eight teams currently eligible for the postseason Bowl Extravaganza. That pecking order matters for bowl selections but it also doesn't matter. The Big 12 has automatic tie-ins, but they make exceptions all the time so the third-place team might go to the second-place bowl the second-place might opt for the lower tier to go to a destination and so on and so forth.

The Texas Tech offense was stifled by a great Iowa State defense, but the Texas Tech defense stood tall multiple times to make up for the paltry offense.
Texas Tech started with the ball against Iowa State in the freezing tundra of Jack Trice Stadium and immediately fumbled the ball...
