One Texas Tech<\/a> fan is facing a serious dilemma. <\/p>\n

No. 8 Texas Tech is preparing to face No. 7 BYU<\/a> in a game so important that ESPN\u2019s College GameDay returned to Lubbock for the first time in 17 years. <\/p>\n

Taylor Karrh, a lifelong Red Raider fan, might have to miss it \u2014 for his wedding. <\/p>\n

Karrh scheduled his wedding to fianc\u00e9e Rachael Lenhart for Friday in Dallas, intentionally to avoid a potential conflict with football season. It just so happened to land on the biggest weekend of the Red Raiders\u2019 season thus far.<\/p>\n

Karrh said in a post on X that his soon-to-be wife would agree to move the wedding if he could get 1 million reposts on his post. As of Saturday morning, Karrh was just under 3,000 reposts. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to be in very good shape to make a drive to Lubbock first thing Saturday morning,\u201d Karrh said in an interview on KCBD News Channel<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s just, it\u2019s very hard to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Google Maps, the drive from Dallas to Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock will take just over five hours. With the Red Raiders\u2019 kickoff slated for 11 a.m., the couple would need to depart Dallas before 6 a.m. to make it on time for kickoff. They would have to leave even earlier to make it for the pregame ESPN College GameDay show. <\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, like it is a fall wedding,\u201d Karrh said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s like the joke that\u2019s going on X is that, you don\u2019t book fall weddings, but we did book it for a Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Karrh and Lenhart told KCBD News Channel they plan to watch Saturday\u2019s game from a bar in Dallas. <\/p>\n

Texas Tech is enjoying its best season since 2008 at 8-1. The Red Raiders are 8-1 and firmly in the College Football Playoff picture. Saturday\u2019s matchup against BYU has major implications for the Big 12 championship, as well as the College Football Playoff. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are expecting bigger games this year,\u201d Karrh said. \u201cI\u2019ll put those in my back pocket.\u201d<\/p>\n
