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...

Texas Tech's Tyree Wilson left the game during the second half of their 43-28 win over the  Kansas Jayhawks. The star pass rusher was close to a sack of Jayhawks quarterback Jason Bean when he went down on the turf after not much contact was made. He ...

Texas Tech scored first and never relinquished the lead at the Jones as the 6-3 Kansas Jayhawks fell to 6-4 and the Red Raiders move to 5-5 after their 43-28 victory. The Red Raiders rushed for 260 yards and had four rushing touchdowns from four different ball carriers...

During the fourth quarter of the Texas Tech vs Kansas game, there was an honest assessment of the officiating. It's between the Ryan Leaf analysis of the Kansas touchdown that made it 33-28 with just over eight minutes to go in the game. Leaf ...

In 2009 after a loss to Texas A&M, Mike Leach went on a rant in the Texas Tech postgame press conference, "The coaches failed to make our points more compelling than their fat little girlfriends. Now their fat little girlfriends have some obvious advantages. For one thing, th...

First of all, you guys rock. The guys always look prepared. That being said, the throwback uniforms are so much better than the ones that are used in the normal rotation. Please make the "throwbacks" the full-time uniforms. Texas Tech's color scheme is the best in sports...

There's a movie that came out in 2016 called Greater that centers around a young man from Arkansas that wanted to play football at the University of Arkansas. Brandon Burlsworth grew up in a small town in Arkansas and was never the best athlete in the world. Wha...

Before the Texas Tech contest against Baylor, there were some thoughts about the game, as there generally are, from both sides of the game. Baylor pundits naturally leaned toward Baylor, while Texas Tech pundits mostly leaned toward Texas Tech. Again...
