Personally, I’ve always been more about the energy the team brings to town than the scoreboard itself.

Texas Tech Fever Is Back in the Hub City
Now, we’re staring down the barrel of a potential Big 12 Championship run — and maybe even a playoff berth. That’s not just big; that’s historic. For a program that used to hang its hat on Liberty Bowl appearances, this is a moment to savor.

A Statement Win Against Kansas
The comeback against Kansas showed serious grit. After a sluggish start, the Red Raiders exploded in the second half, putting the Jayhawks away in decisive fashion. You could feel it — the confidence, the chemistry, the hunger to win.
Take a look at some of the photos from that game. You’ll see it too: a team that believes, a fan base that’s waking up, and a city that’s ready to rally behind something real.
