texas tech red raiders

Former Texas Tech QB and current Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes is proving he's not only a class act, but the man of the year.

With 10 returning starters on offense and seven on the defensive side of the ball, the Red Raiders are looking to get back on track after a 2014 season full of growing pains.

A slow start for the Red Raiders hung over until partially through the second half, but the Red Raiders stormed back and found a way to win on Sunday afternoon here in Lubbock.

It was an all around good day for Red Raider fans, first and foremost because the Freshman class of 2015 got much stronger with the addition of defensive end Breiden Fehoko from Hawaii and secondly due to the news that former coach Mike Leach will be adding former Red Raider great Graham Harrell to his coaching staff in Pullman.

With an official attendance of 12,667, Texas Tech came out and literally laid it all out on the line against a very good Kansas team. Kansas simply muscled up and hit the game-winner with 1.7 seconds to go, clinching a final of 64-63.

The United Spirit Arena will be the place to be Tuesday night, as the re-energized Red Raiders will host the highly potent Kansas Jayhawks.

What looked to be a year of starting from scratch and settling in has turned into a possible run for postseason play for Texas Tech basketball. The Red Raiders stormed into Norman tonight and showed the OU crowd at Lloyd Noble last week's upset was no fluke.

After receiving a three-game suspension from league play, Marcus Smart stepped forward and released a statement on the incident that happened last night here in Lubbock. Texas Tech fan and booster Jeff Orr also released a statement on the situation.

The last minute in Saturday night's men's basketball game at the United Spirit Arena was nothing less than bizarre. A key, signature win for Tubby Smith's program is the highlight of the night, as the behavior from Marcus Smart is the antithesis.

With the end of the BCS era past us and new era of the playoff system being ushered in, let's take a look at how the powers that be in Las Vegas feel the teams around the nation will perform this upcoming football season.

You may recognize that name as both the former quarterback of the Red Raiders and assistant offensive coach for the Red Raiders for the 2013 season. TCU's Gary Patterson successfully reeled Cumbie in with a co-coordinator role as the quarterbacks coach.
