- Regarding his decision whether to stay or get on the plane to Austin, Mark Adams said Chris Beard "gave me a middle seat and wanted me to wear orange, and I didn't want to do either one of those."
- The new Texas Tech stadium club and entrance to the field. It's the route Tech players will be taking (note the saddle), flanked by fans on either side.
00:00 - First 6,500 students at the Texas Tech-UCF game on Saturday are supposed to receive these towels.
- Here's the Texas Tech football team's video walkthrough room at the new Dustin R. Womble Football Center. Allows coaches to project video of life-sized opponents onto screen/wall while players on the turf react to the video, simulating on-field preparation.
00:00 - This is the visiting team portable, temporary locker room this season for Texas Tech opponents. Air conditioned. If you didn't know you were in a trailer outside the stadium, you would never guess you were in ... a trailer outside the stadium.
00:00 - Must be a dream come true for Mark Adams, Brownfield's own, to get the Texas Tech job after past head-coaching stops at Clarendon College, Wayland Baptist, West Texas A&M and Howard College.
- According to #TexasTech, Michael Crabtree, Jace Amaro, Bradley Marquez and Keke Coutee are expected to be in Lubbock on Saturday for Texas game.
- Joey McGuire: "Probably the most frustrated I am is that we had an incredible crowd in a night game here in Lubbock, and I did not do a good job getting these guys ready to play in front of our crowd. It frustrates me because it was a great atmosphere and we missed the moment."
- Patrick Mahomes credits Kliff Kingsbury and @TTURawlsCollege for his successes as a 3-time Super Bowl MVP, 2-time NFL MVP on the field and as an adidas and Mahomes brand marketing ambassador off it.
00:00 - Charles Perry to Jay Hartzell: "If you're as big and great as you think you are, you should have made the Big 12 equal or better than the SEC and you didn't do it. I kind of feel sorry for the SEC. Cousin Eddie's coming home and he don't leave 'til he's wrecked the whole house."
- For the fourth time in six years, the boys from the 806 are making the 806-mile trip from Lubbock to Omaha. An 8-6 Texas Tech win closes out a riveting super regional.
