January 2nd, 2009 · 3 Comments
Though I only watched portions of the ATT Cotton Bowl today, the parts I watched showed an ugly effort by Coach Mike Leach’s #7 Texas Tech Red Raiders as they lost in Dallas to Houston Nutt’s #25 Ole Miss Rebels, 47-34. Yes, I know; in my “crystal ball” post last week, I predicted the game [...]

Texas Tech Bounces Back, Defeats Virginia, 31-28
January 1st, 2008 · No Comments
A game-ending 41-yard field goal by Alex Talica sealed the deal for the Texas Tech Red Raiders as they defeated the surprisingly strong Virginia Cavaliers, 31-28, in the Gator Bowl. In a post yesterday, I predicted Coach Mike Leach’s system — Graham Harrell to Mike Crabtree et al — would run roughshod over the boys [...]
