Texas Tech’s Defense Dominates Louisville in Maui
The Red Raiders basketball team lost their first game in Maui, but they refused to lose their second against Louisville. Sure the Cardinals are now 0-5, but Texas Tech absolutely took out all of their pent-up aggression from losing to Creighton out today and outscored the Cardinals 70-38...
Texas Tech Loses Game One in Maui Invitational
The Red Raiders were 3-0 heading to the Maui Jim Maui Invitational. They opened up against the Creighton Blue Jays in game one of the tournament and it went well for Texas Tech through the first half, but the second half was all Creighton with a final of 76-65...
Even the Fonz Loves Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs
It's always Happy Days when the Kansas City Chiefs play road games against opponents in their division. Since 2018, they haven't lost a road game to the Broncos, Chargers, or Raiders. That just so happens to coincide with Patrick Mahomes' arrival as the starting quarterback...
Tyree Wilson Officially Enters the NFL Draft
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...
Texas Tech is Bowl Eligible, But Where Will They Go?
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.

Texas Tech’s Defense Stands Tall in the Red Zone of Iowa State
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...
Joey McGuire: The Texas High School Football Coach
I've seen several times this season a criticism of Joey McGuire that I don't quite understand. I mean, I get why people call Joey McGuire, "just a High School coach", but I don't think it's the slam that people think it is.
When McGuire was talked about as the next coach of the Red Raiders I was all in because of his ties to Texas High school football. The recr...
You’re Not Crazy: That Was an Earthquake in Lubbock, Texas
At about 3:30 pm on November 16th, I was sitting in my office at the station on the third floor of an office building at 82nd and Quaker. About an hour earlier the power in the building had cut off and come back on. Weird, but not something that never happens...
Commissioner Yormark Puts Together Incredible Big 12 Business Board
Bob Bowlsby ran the Big 12 for a decade but never seemed to do anything. The conference lost more than it gained but somehow survived. Then in 2021, Texas and Oklahoma announced they were leaving the conference.
Since that announcement, Bob Bowlsby was fired announced his retirement and Brett Yormark was hired as the new Big 12 boss...
De’Vion Harmon and Kevin Obanor Shine in Win Over Louisiana Tech
It wasn't always pretty, but Texas Tech beat La Tech by nine on a tough Monday night matchup in Lubbock. The final, 64-55, was never really in doubt, but the Red Raiders could never truly pull away after looking dominant for the first 10 minutes of the game...
