Two touchdowns, that is the absolute smallest margin I want to see through the first three games of the year. The confidence that would inspire would be immense. Taking on a weak nonconference with ACU, then a depleted and reeling Washington State, then North Texas to start the season should be an easy 3-0 start…. read more

Why it matters more: Texas Tech has a few ranked chances from the preseason AP poll. The first, and most challenging game in the early part of the schedule by a degree, is Arizona. Going on the road for just the second time of the year, combined with what was hopefully a start as planned,… read more

Behren Morton has a chance to turn in a season unlike we have seen on the South Plains in a long time. The prayers and well-wishes of all Texas Tech faithful are with his health, as I wrote about a few days ago Tech has not had any luck in that regard. But there is… read more

I want to be clear, I am NOT drinking the Kool-Aid this year. I have high hopes, the schedule is extremely favorable and Tech has talent it has not seen in years.

There is only one righteous path for Texas Tech fans who are, like myself, religiously playing NCAA25 as we wait for football season to commence. I will lay out the steps here, and if you disagree you clearly hate Texas tech, the Masked Rider, Raider Red, and yourself. Start a Texas Tech dynasty, Heisman if… read more

I have written a lot about Tahj Brooks, in this countdown and in other articles. Brooks is just too important to tech to not spend a few articles talking about him. He is not only your best player, he is the best player in the Big 12. His health is critical to this team, and… read more

Starting 1929, Baylor and Texas Tech are both an unlikely rivalry to have formed and one that grows increasingly heated seemingly each year. Baylor is Texas tech’s most played opponent, and a shockingly even one at that. The series stands with Baylor at 41 wins, Tech at 40, and one tie. Tech claimed last year’s… read more
