Payback time
On Dec. 13, 2008, Texas Tech traveled to Beaumont for what should have been an easy win against Lamar.
Instead, the Red Raiders walked away with an 85-79 loss.
Tech forward Mike Singletary said after Thursday’s 94-75 win against Northwestern State that this year’s rematch will be all about payback, a fact he’s certain the Cardinals [...]

Is 11:30 too early? Not necessarily
Someone told Mike Leach this week a perception exists that Texas Tech doesn’t play its best football in games that start before noon. The Texas Tech coach told the fellow what he could do with that perception.
“Some of those wins we had last year happened pretty early,’’ Leach said. “That’s probably a stupid perception.’’

Singletary leads Red Raiders to easy win

Cohadarevic says it shocked him that even [...]
OU quarterback Jones making most of opportunity
Landry Jones figured he’d have at least another year to stand on the sideline, where he could watch and learn from one of the most decorated quarterbacks in Oklahoma history.
That was the plan anyway, but it was ruined sooner than anyone could have expected.
Sam Bradford, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, suffered a shoulder injury during [...]
Lady Raiders basketball notebook
SAN ANTONIO – When Kristy Curry got the call asking if her Lady Raiders would schedule a non-conference game against Tennessee, the Texas Tech coach did not hesitate to accept the undeniably enormous challenge.

OU battles losing trend
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops has mostly had his way against his old offensive coordinator, Texas Tech coach Mike Leach.
In their nine head-to-head meetings this decade, Stoops’ teams are 7-2. But Oklahoma is winless on its last two trips to Lubbock, meaning none of the current Sooners players has tasted victory in Jones AT&T Stadium.
“We haven’t [...]
