MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A good many game watchers tuned in to the Liberty Bowl on Tuesday night expecting to see one team run up the score. And sure enough. Texas Tech folded, spindled and mutilated Mississippi State, 34-7, just the opposite sort of runaway from the one so many were forecasting. Mississippi State came in with the No. 3 passing offense in the Football Bowl Subdivision, and the Red Raiders held the Bulldogs to their lowest point total of the season. Only Alabama...
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Shortly after the Texas Tech football season ends Tuesday night at the Liberty Bowl, many of the staff members will immediately pivot to duties at their next jobs. Sonny Cumbie will be head coach at Louisiana Tech, Jake Brown will serve him as a co-offensive coordinator, Keith Patterson will be head coach at Abilene Christian University and Derek Jones and Joel Filani have jobs lined up at Virginia Tech and Washington State, respectively. They all got off the bus, however, when the Red Raiders pulled up to th...
LUBBOCK - With no experience as a college football head coach or coordinator, Joey McGuire appeared to be a long shot to take over at Texas Tech after the dismissal of Matt Wells. He appeared to be a long shot until the Tech search committee interviewed him, that is.

Former Texas Tech basketball coach Chris Beard released a statement Monday thanking Red Raiders fans for their “unwavering support throughout the years” and calling himself “forever grateful” for his time spent on the Tech staff.

In a note posted on his Twitter account, Beard said he wanted to wait a few days to gather his thoughts and express appreciation. “My time at Texas Tech has been more than I could hav...
LUBBOCK — When the Big 12 put out the 2020 conference football schedule last October, it shaped up as one of Texas Tech’s most attractive in several years. The Red Raiders were going to have seven home games for the first time since 2009. With the Baylor game no longer played at a neutral site, Tech has five conference games at Jones AT&T Stadium for the first time in the Big 12 era. Arizona would be only the second power-five non-conference opponent to visit Lubbock in five years, and it was Texas’ and Oklahoma’s turn to...
Harley Redin coached Wayland Baptist for the back half of its national record 131-game winning streak and had his powerhouse teams inducted last year into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Those are among high points in a landmark career that made him a trailblazer for women's athletics. Redin died Saturday in Plainview, according to an announcement from Wayland Baptist University. He was 100 years old. Redin was a charter member of the Women's Basketball Hall of...
