    Texas Tech Loses to Coach Prime and Colorado

    Texas Tech Gets the Victory Over Iowa State

    Texas Tech's Brutal Loss to TCU 34-35

    Blowing a 17-point lead in the second half with some questionable decision making, Texas Tech falls to TCU 34-35 on the road after showing 28 points in a row. What accountability does Coach McGuire need to take in this loss. Coming off of one of the worst losses in a decade against Baylor the week before, why does it seem like our Red Raiders can't seem to thrive when they should?

What does our Washed Up former player have to say about the catastrophe we saw on the field Saturday?
