Kliff Kingsbury’s “Suns Up, Guns Up” Office Painting

New Texas Tech Red Raiders head coach Kliff Kingsbury has wasted no time installing a new mentality around Lubbock.  This new painting is hanging in his office and it’s actually pretty sweet.  Sometimes you need an alumnus to come in to run your program to run it right.  I have a feeling Kingsbury will have the Red Raiders competing in the Big 12 again in no time.

Wes Welker Commits Potential Recruiting Violation on Behalf of Texas Tech

While many of the NCAA’s rules regarding student-athletes are often arbitrary and tone deaf at best, and asinine at worst, recruiting is definitely one area that if rife with violations, and needs policing. So someone might want to tell Wes Welker that, as an alumni, he’s still considered a representative of Texas Tech. Community college wide receiver Nick Kurtz is currently...
