Shimonek is an interesting character of modern Texas Tech lore. Nic transferred from Iowa, and would not become the starter till his senior year. In 2017 he would take the reigns, and the reviews were very mixed. Shimonek’s up and down season would culminate in being benched against Texas in Austin, but coming back into… read more

Look, I really tried to find a meaningful 57 reference for this. But then I remembered, I am the managing editor and can be way less literal. So in honor of a perfect offensive line number, lets give a shoutout to the guys who drive the offense. I of course am referring to everyone’s favorite… read more

The new uniforms are officially here, with Texas Tech unveiling their various new Adidas gear. I talked the other day about the overall rollout, but I wanted to spend one day out of our countdown talking about how insane these new uniforms really look. The uniforms, unlike many Adidas products for football, look nothing like… read more

Day 59 of the countdown, and I figured we could look back at one of the grossest moments in Red Raider defensive history. And one of, if not the greatest, performance from any college football quarterback ever. That would be Baker Mayfield making his return to Lubbock to take on Kliff Kingsbury’s squad led to… read more

The other day Texas Tech formally transitioned to an Adidas school. And the rollout was masterfully done. A buddy of mine works for Texas Tech’s media team, so a shoutout to him for handling some of that content and the entire team for executing a strategy. Texas Tech joins the Adidas ranks at a really… read more

With that in mind we start with 60 days to go, and to start our countdown with the start of the 60’s! Texas Tech before 1960 was actually independent… read more

Well, the title kind of says it all doesn’t it? Today, we can confirm the likes of Gavin Kash and Owen Washburn joining Landon Stripling, Travis Sanders, Garet Boehm, and Gage Harrelson in the transfer portal, and, barring a miracle, putting an end to their respective careers in the Scarlet and Black. Most of the… read more

Texas Tech is fighting for their postseason lives in Arlington, with the loser’s bracket now their home. Up against UC, Tech was looking to rebound from a sloppy game with no offense. And they turned in quite the rebound performance. Ryan Free was sublime in the game, throwing his longest career outing at 6.2 IP,… read more

Well, against the #19 Xerox U Cowpokes, Texas Tech had a much worse night. The game was back and forth, but in the 8th Oklahoma State pulled away to secure a 7-2 victory. The story of this game was the lack of offense and the walks. By my count, 13 walks on the night. And… read more
