FRISCO\u00a0\u2014 Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire addressed the viral controversy that surrounded his team this spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No, not that one, the other one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSpot the ball, man, we\u2019re ready to go right now,\u201d McGuire said Tuesday afternoon. \u201cWe\u2019ll play tomorrow. We don\u2019t need any film study or anything like that, and I know they don\u2019t either.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Longhorns and Red Raiders used to play regularly when both were Big 12 conference members, but after the former left for the SEC two years ago, the in-state rivalry ended. McGuire, who also praised Sarkisian as a coach and play-caller, urged for that game\u2019s return as well as other local showdowns.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was born in Texarkana, Texas, at Wylie Regional Medical Center in 1971,\u201d McGuire said. \u201cI grew up in the Southwest Conference. Texas and Texas Tech are supposed to play. Texas and Texas A&M are supposed to play, and they are playing. SMU is supposed to play, I\u2019d love to play Rhett Lashlee. I mean, if you\u2019re a Texan, and you\u2019re a fan of the football in this state, then why would we go outside the state to play nonconference games if we\u2019re not in conference anymore?\u201d<\/p>\n
