Texas Tech preaches Take Three University. Three turnovers forced, and winning the turnover margin. Now, it goes without saying last season the quarterback health disaster killed Tech’s turnover margin chances last year. But finishing 110th in Turnover Margin had to make McGuire and his staff sick. This year, Take Three is back and the Red… read more

We are creeping ever closer to Texas Tech kicking off the season against the Abeline Christian Wildcats. While that game, we pray, won’t be too eventful for Tech the rest of the year is tough to predict. The schedule is weak, but Texas Tech has never historically taken full advantage of its potential. To do… read more

I don’t want to be greedy and demanding this year. Last season I had high expectations and was let down immensely. This year, I want to be a measured fan, with manageable expectations.

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. This post is just a daydream, not true belief or a projection. An undefeated conference champion will only need 16 total wins to… read more
