Well. Yeah. Losing to Arizona State wasn\u2019t much fun for Joey McGuire and the Texas Tech Red Raiders. It wasn\u2019t much fun at all. It sucked. Truly, it was awful. Epecially on the offensive side of things. Yeah, the defense was suboptimal and it seemed like Arizona State was able to accomplish just about whatever it wanted, but the offense was alarmingly bad.<\/p>\n
Texas Tech scored a season-low 22 points, had a season-low of 276 yards of total offense, and just generally seemed completely and totally lost on offense.<\/p>\n
And now the Red Raiders are 6-1, 3-1 in Big 12 play, and no longer totally control their own destiny as it pertains to the remainder of the season. With Texas Tech\u2019s struggles, it looks like other Big 12 fanbases are enjoying that a bit. And that sucks as well.<\/p>\n
Big 12 fans react as the Texas Tech Red Raiders come up short against Arizona State<\/p>\n
There isn\u2019t exactly much sympathy for Texas Tech among Big 12 fans, it seems. For one reason or another, it sure sounds like the Red Raiders have ruffled the feathers of fans from other Big 12 teams. I, for one, have no idea why that might be the case.<\/p>\n

The money thing that allowed Texas Tech to drastically improve its roster over the offseason while other teams weren\u2019t able to.<\/p>\n And yeah, the whole roster budget deal is getting memed right now, which is understandable. The Red Raiders lost a game they probably should have won and given the amount they spent on the roster, there are going to be some jokes about that.\u00a0<\/p>\n pic.twitter.com\/jqNTPCtmrT<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Rob Wright\u2019s Dad\u2019s Burner (@baylorbigxii) October 18, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n 28 million for that #yeesh<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 JD (@JD_Hunt05) October 18, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Plus tortillas.
