How 'bout them RED RAIDERS!?!




YIIPPPPPEEEEE!!

Number 7 Texas Tech OUTPLAYS Number 1 University of Texas and WINS in a huge game (just over!) Despite several stupid events of fans and students who rushed the field and tore the goal post partially over before the clock went to zero! So when you have penalties because of your fans, that isn't pretty.
.
It was today's ESPN feature. They actually broadcasted all of the gameday show from LUBBOCK, TX. Camping for good seats started on Wednesday. Having such a big game in such a smaller city is hard. They fed everyone camping at Raiderville for 3 days, and apparently camping was a good option, because hotel rooms were no where to be found!
.
Here is the game day video link where today's special guest, BOB KNIGHT, made predictions on all the games this one! Of COURSE he predicted a Texas Tech win...! Guns up!
.
And here is the ESPN roadtrip to Lubbock. I think they captured a lot of great traditions and things that I almost forgot about gameday. Here is the link to the roadtrip video!


Those of you who know us, know that we are not a sports or football household. Even Megan watched the first half, bedtime was at half time, and our household hollered and jumped up and down watching a game tonight! Yippppeeee! If you missed it and want to see it, check out the replay here on ESPN
.
PS -- for those of you who might not have figured it out, we are both Red Raiders / Tech Alumni!

Halftime was bedtime for me as well. But I watched the first half and TTU was just the superior football team. Yeah for your team!!

We were screaming at the fans rushing the field, and we had a few choice names for them as well. It would have been so sad if TTU had lost the game becuase their fans acted like sophomoric morons. It was a GOOD game, and our non-sports watching household was glued throughout too.
