In 2018, Alan Bowman stormed on the scene as a true freshman for Kliff Kingsbury's Red Raiders and led the team in a loss against Ole Miss to open the season after taking over for an injured McLane Carter. Bowman then put up monster numbers against Lamar and Houston...

Last season, interim head coach Sonny Cumbie led the Red Raiders to a Liberty Bowl victory over Mississippi State 34-7. Fast forward a year and head coach Joey McGuire has led the Red Raiders to a victory over Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin with a final score of 42-25...

Late on Sunday news started to break that Mike Leach was in serious condition and being rushed to a Mississippi Hospital. By Tuesday morning, it had been confirmed that Mike Leach had passed away. The past 48 hours have been an outpouring of love and respect by former coaches, players, and fans for The Pirate and his family...

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. ...

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...

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. ...

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 ...

Baylor outclassed and outcoached Texas Tech in Lubbock tonight in what was supposed to be an electric atmosphere. The blackout fell flat as Baylor came out as the more aggressive team in the first half and controlled the game throughout for the 45-17 victory in Lubbock...

This summer when Patrick Mahomes was revealed as the latest inductee into the Ring of Honor and Texas Tech Hall of Fame there were also two other names related to the football program to be announced. They might not be national names like Mahomes, but the impact on the program can be felt on similar if not greater levels...

Texas Tech football has entered the Behren Morton Era. They entered it after the first drive in Stillwater, but the freshman's start against West Virginia cemented his place at the helm of Joey Mcguire's program leading Zach Kittley's offense...

Texas Tech football lost to Oklahoma State 41-31 on Saturday, October 9th, but I don't think the Red Raiders left Stillwater without some lessons learned.
