Did Kirby Hocutt just outline a clear path for Texas Tech to NOT play Sorsby?
Yes.
Yes he did.

A tribute to a Red Raider legend. A champion.

Today, the Drive of Champions becomes the Wes Kittley Drive of Champions!

[Cody Campbell @CodyC64]

Points of clarification on the 09/19 Friday Night @TexasTechFB and @UHCougarFB game:

1. I will re-iterate that Friday nights are sacred in Texas, and high school football is an integral part of our proud culture. It’s different here than it is in other states.

2. Texas Tech’s alumni base is largely centered in the DFW area, which is 300+ miles from Lubbock. A Friday game puts enormous strain on their ability to attend the game.

3. Tech plays a late road game in Corvallis, Oregon prior Saturday -will arrive back in Lubbock at about 4am on Sunday. While we are technically inside the “window” that allows this game to be played, it’s only by a few hours, and will put significant strain on our team, staff - even the equipment managers.

4. @brettyormark and I are friends and have a good relationship. We work well together on many fronts, and Texas Tech is very committed to the Big 12. Brett and I have had our disagreements, but I like the guy and respect his hustle.

However, I do stand by a quote I made: the Commissioners work for the Presidents, and the Presidents work for the Boards. The commissioners have not been vested in unilateral authority to do whatever they want. This is an issue throughout college athletics.

Believe. One Shining Moment wouldn't be enough for @LadyRaiderWBB's standard restoring season.

So enjoy this full season recap, as narrated by Coach Gerlich and the players themselves. Emphasis on Bailey Maupin's message at the end. Period. 🫡

She’s got that dog in her! Been great watching her the last 4 years,

Bailey Maupin checks out for the last time as a Lady Raider to a standing ovation from the Texas Tech faithful in attendance.

Denae Fritz gets the same ovation shortly after. Thank you captains. 🫡

DENAE FRITZ IS A DAWG.

[The Masked Raider 🌵🏴‍☠️ @bucephelus]

@PositionPicksFF @LovenotWar311 If that’s a full size field, how far out is the 3 pt. line? 35 yds more or less?

[Norense Odiase @kingno_]

This is laughable/ pissed me off… and it’s disrespectful.

You think you and critics like you, are what fuels the fire? Get over yourself.

How bout a connected group who live by their values. Who are dedicated to process.

Who choose to STAND in the face of adversity…

Winners don’t pay attention to the noise.

PLEASE REMEMBER SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT REAL LIFE

TRUE CHARACTER SHOWS WHEN YOU PUNCHED IN THE MOUTH

YOU CAN NEVER STAT CHARACTER HEART TOUGHNESS GRIT… KEEP COUNTING THIS TEAM OUT. THEY WILL STAND AGAINST ALL ODDS

[Lady Raider Basketball @LadyRaiderWBB]

Bailey bleeds Scarlet & Black and has become one of the all-time Lady Raider greats in program history ♥️

Help us recognize Bailey and our 8 other seniors tomorrow!

[Snyder's Windbreaker @KSUWindbreaker]

COACHING HOT BOARD:

1. Dan Hurley: has stated that K-State is the most prestigious job in the country, is he ready to make that jump to the big leagues?

2. TJ Otzelberger: not the best tournament resume but has done a good job at a mid major program. Could have promising potential with top level resources. Would finally be able to afford proper fitting polos.

3. Bill Self: over the hill a bit but still some gas left in the tank. 20+ years of experience with paying players makes him a prime candidate to succeed in the NIL era. Has been quoted saying “it’s a great day to be a Wildcat”. Something to watch.

It appears the Texas Tech Men’s Basketball team bus tires were slashed last night after the win at Arizona…
