UPDATE: Texas Tech's Matt Dowdy later clarified that "Due to unforeseen complications, the Double T Scoreboard is now scheduled to be removed between 8-9 p.m." So, still on December 1st. Of course, Texas Tech had to have a little fun with the scoreboard...

There are four or five Bowl games that the Red Raiders could potentially be announced as participants in, but there are really just three with a realistic chance of happening. Last week, I thought the Texas Bowl would be the most likely, but with an Oklahoma State loss, the Red Raiders sit alone in 4th place in the Big 12...

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 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 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...
