Is there a plan afoot to stop the tortilla madness at Texas Tech? My sources say, \u201cYES!\u201d<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udfc8 A Tradition Under Fire<\/p>\n The practice of tossing tortillas before kickoff dates back to the 1990s \u2014 about three decades of airborne carbs that have become part of the local culture. But after several penalties and a hefty fine, Texas Tech is now stuck in a sticky (or starchy) situation. The university once claimed to be \u201call in\u201d on the tortilla tradition, then quickly reversed course. Whether that initial enthusiasm was genuine or a ticket-selling tactic, we may never know.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5 Tortilla Big Brother?<\/p>\n According to my sources, Tech has installed additional cameras aimed at the stands to identify and stop fans who continue the tradition. If true, we could soon see fans ejected for the crime of holding a perfectly round piece of Lubbock history. It would be a bold move that may not sit well with the crowd.<\/p>\n
It seems the iconic tradition of fans flinging tortillas across Jones AT&T Stadium may finally meet its match. While it\u2019s long been as common as dust storms or white trucks in Lubbock<\/a>, the university appears to be taking serious steps to curb the floury free-for-all.<\/p>\n
