The Texas Tech Defense Will Be Just Fine in 2023

In the middle of 2022, I was worried about the 2023 Texas Tech defense. Tyree Wilson, Muddy Waters, Adrian Frye, Malik Dunlap, Reggie Pearson, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, Rayshad Williams, Krishon Merriweather, Tony Bradford, and Jaylon Hutchings were all out of eligibility or potentially leaving this offseason for an opportunity with the NFL. ...

Texas Tech Football Finishes Best Season Since 2009 With a Bang

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.

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. ...

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...

Watch The BTS of Patrick Mahomes Hall of Fame Day in Lubbock

Patrick Mahomes was on hand this last Saturday for much more than just the Texas Tech game against Baylor. The result of that game wasn't great, but it also didn't dampen what was an incredible evening for Mahomes and Texas Tech University...

What Would Adding Gonzaga Mean for the Big 12 Conference?

Pete Thamel casually dropped a bombshell this afternoon when he published his latest on ESPN.com. Is Gonzaga on its way to the Big 12? They've at least had the discussions according to Thamel. Texas Tech, Kansas, Baylor, and Gonzaga have been among the best college basketball programs in the country over the last five seasons...

Baylor Wins In Lubbock For the First Time Since 1990

Patrick Mahomes Inducted to the Ring of Honor During Halftime Ceremony

Patrick Mahomes is the biggest star in the NFL and the only quarterback in the NFL to play in the last four AFC Championship games, winning two of those. He's an NFL MVP. He's a Super Bowl MVP.
