Texas Tech Baseball Is Even Better Than I Thought They Would Be

Let's get a few things out of the way off the top here. I understand it is just eight games into the season, and the two four game sweeps that Texas Tech has accrued against Gonzaga and Western Illinois aren't huge triumphs in the grand scheme of things...

Texas Tech Wins Second Super Bowl in 48 Hours

On Sunday night, while noted Texas Tech alum Patrick Mahomes was leading his Kansas City Chiefs to a Super Bowl Championship, a lot of Texas Tech students were camping out and focused on the Texas Longhorns. That led a prominent Texas Longhorns media outlet to say that Texas Tech's Super Bowl was playing Texas in Basketball...

It Was an Incredible Weekend to be a Red Raider

Texas Tech didn't go undefeated on the weekend, but among the weekends biggest moments Red Raiders and former Red Raiders shined incredibly bright. The much maligned Texas Tech basketball team got a huge win over a top 15 team at home when they beat the Kansas State Wildcats 71-63...

Can Tyree Wilson Get Drafted in the Top 5 of the NFL Draft?

Tyree Wilson was an absolute beast in Texas Tech, but nationally he didn't get a ton of love during the season. Maybe it was because he was a Texas Tech defender, or just that Texas Tech was 4-5 when Wilson went down with a season ending injury against the Kansas Jayhawks...

The Kansas City Chiefs Took All the ‘Burrowhead’ Jabs Personally

There was a lot said last week leading up to the AFC Championship game about Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes and the legacy this title opportunity could provide to both quarterbacks. In some ways, it was more important to Burrow. In other ways, it was more important for Mahomes...

Texas Tech Fans Rush Court After Incredible Comeback Against Iowa State

Texas Tech basketball was dead in the water at 0-8 in the Big 12. Mark Adams was on the ropes with press conference quotes about taking the blame for the poor start and holding accountability for most issues around the team. Then, Texas Tech went to LSU and beat the Tigers...

Can Patrick Mahomes Get to the Super Bowl on One Leg?

Patrick Mahomes became the fulltime starter for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018. In that season he absolutely dominated on his way to an MVP and an overtime loss to Tom Brady's New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game. Since then, Mahomes and the Chiefs have been to every AFC Championship game and played in two Super Bowls with a Super Bowl Championship after the 2019 season...

The Lady Raiders Are Building Serious Momentum in 2023

In Coach Gerlich's first season back in Lubbock after her career as a player and assistant coach, she was taking over a program in shambles. Sure, the Lady Raiders had just won 7 conference games heading into the COVID stoppage, but that offseason went into panic mode after Marlene Stollings was fired and Gerlich was brought in extremely late in the process...

Will Texas Tech Basketball Win a Big 12 Conference Game?

With West Virginia beating TCU to move to 1-5 in Big 12 play the Red Raiders are now the only Big 12 conference team winless in the league at 0-6. They fell to 0-6 after their third straight home loss this season, an 81-74 loss to Baylor...

Kliff Kingsbury Got Fired and Left the Country

Kliff Kingsbury made it through four seasons in Arizona with Kyler Murray before finally getting fired after a disappointing season in which he didn't have DeAndre Hopkins to start the year or Murray to finish it. Kingsbury took over the worst team in the NFL, improved it year over year for three seasons, and then a dramatic off-field season for the franchise tanked his season...

Texas Officially Fires Beard, Then Releases Letters Between Lawyers

On December 12th, 2022, news broke that Chris Beard was involved in a domestic incident in which he was arrested, booked and seen by a judge. At the time, it was fairly obvious that because of the events that had taken place, according to language in Beard's contract, he could be fired with cause...

Texas Tech Basketball Will Go As Far As Pop Isaacs Takes Them

Pop Isaacs is a natural born leader. You see it on the floor with his assertiveness both with the ball and without. He's vocal and displays incredible focused while on the floor and while on the bench. He's also a true freshman. It's rare in college athletics to have a true freshman be the leader of the team, but in my opinion Pop Isaacs is the alpha wolf of the Texas Tech street dogs this season.
