I can’t believe people keep sharing this video around. Texas A&M has made it abundantly clear that they don’t want anyone to see this video on social media, so we should respect their decision and stop sharing it to everyone we know
Just a reminder that Nebraska is paying $15mil to buyout Scott Frost ($7.5mil more than if they waited another 3 weeks), yet athletics departments couldn’t afford the $20k/year salaries to keep marketing, communications, and video coordinators during the pandemic
All jokes aside, if you’re the mother of a high school recruit in the state of Texas, it’s literally never been easier to decide who your child should play for
After Trump’s arraignment, he stopped at Miami’s popular Cuban restaurant Versailles and promised supporters he was buying “food for everyone.”
It turns out he left without paying for a single item.

Just in case you were wondering, the yellow and purple M&Ms are the same size, yet nobody has referred to the yellow M&M as “plus-sized” because it’s voiced by a male. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk
The average athletic dept support staffer (communications, marketing, creative, compliance, academics, ticketing, athletic training, facilities, development, etc) makes $45,000 a year
Harbaugh made $1,500,000 just in bonuses this year. That’d go a lot further for your athletes
Only 8 schools in NCAA D1 have a 15,000+ seat arena that’s been at 90%+ capacity this season
Texas Tech
Kentucky
Indiana
Kansas
Wisconsin
Arkansas
Creighton
Illinois
Senior Designer making $45k in Austin. Luckily they’ll be spending all their nights at work because they won’t have a home to go back to.
Start calling the industry out when you see stuff like this
TCU hosts a sign station at basketball games for their students and fans to make signs. They had to shut it down because Red Raider fans took it over as well
If I’m Chris Del Conte, I’m throwing a ton of money this off-season at a coach that can win games in the NCAA tournament. These would be my first 2 calls
For those of you who don’t know, Texas Tech has the 2nd largest student capacity in the nation (4100).
Entering night 3, we’ve got about 1000 students camping out. This is only 1/4 of the total students joining us
We’ll see the rest of you on Tuesday!
The Big 12 is undefeated so far in this NCAA Tournament*
Every school from the Lone Star State has won a game in this year’s NCAA Tournament*
*ᵉˣᶜᵉᵖᵗ ᵗʰᵉ ˡᵒⁿᵍʰᵒʳⁿˢ
So the Big 12 has 3 teams in the Sweet 16.
If you remove the 2 programs “carrying” the Big 12 who are leaving for the SEC, and add in the replacement teams joining the Big 12 soon…the Big 12 has 4 teams in the Sweet 16
Not the way we wanted the regular season to end but finishing 3rd behind Kansas & defending NCAA Champs (who we swept) in front of a preseason Top 5 team (who we swept) when 11 months ago Coach Adams got 5 guys to stay, hired a whole new staff & locked in 8 transfers ain’t shabby
For those of you who couldn’t make it to the
@TexasTechMBB
game today, just a reminder that this is what our
@ttuRaiderRiot
student section looks like...on a Sunday afternoon...against an NEC opponent...over Thanksgiving break
#WreckEm
Student tickets for Monday night's game vs. K-State went live this morning at 10am. By 11:30am, we already had 4,000+ students registered.
MONDAY NIGHT.
VS. KANSAS STATE.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, does it like
@TheRaiderRiot
& Red Raider Nation
Texas Tech Twitter just made an emoji’s brand bigger than a competitor university’s brand.
I thought “Forth Worth” was a typo, but now I realize it’s a shorthand way of saying their brand has a 1/4 the worth of ours 🌵
#WreckEm
Packing the student section back-to-back games is cool. Staying until the end of the game is cooler.
@TheRaiderRiot
has killed it so far this season!
#WreckEm
Student Ticketing Update:
4,000+ students registered for tomorrow's
@TexasTechMBB
game vs. TCU
4,000+ students registered for Wednesday's Wear White game vs. Baylor
Without a doubt the best student section in the nation
#WreckEm
Just in case you're still not sold on the Home Court Advantage, not only does
@TexasTechMBB
have the longest home winning streak in Power 5, they're also 6th in the nation in home scoring margin, outscoring their opponents by 21.8 ppg in the USA
Final Home Game: 2/28 vs. K-State
This is not what you would call an top-tier game. This is a Sunday afternoon game against Long Island while the campus is on Thanksgiving Break.
Try telling that to
@ttuRaiderRiot
...
Just a reminder for when you ask your department for a 5% pay increase to keep up with inflation and they say they can’t afford it, what they mean is they don’t think you’re worth it.
Texas spent nearly $280K on the official visit for Arch Manning and eight other recruits, per
@TheAthletic
This 48-hour visit included a luxury hotel, a dinner buffet with “triple digit visitors”, Top Golf, custom cakes, and an ice sculpture
Women’s sports deserve so much better. You have a SEC team vs a B1G team playing in a hotel conference room. Not even a damn continental breakfast in there
Texas: Loses home game in heartbreaking fashion
Texas A&M: Upset by unranked team
Texas Tech: Beats ranked team in 2OT
Is this the best day in
@TexasTechFB
history?
More attendance stats...
Over the last 5 games,
@TexasTechMBB

@TexasTechMBB
&
@LadyRaiderWBB
are 1 of 2 programs in the country to be in the Top 15 in average attendance for both Men's & Women's Basketball (Tennessee)
It's been a while since we've had a full capacity crowd for a
@TexasTechMBB
game. In case you forgot, here's what the final home game looked like in 2020
#WreckEm
We'll see you all at the USA in EXACTLY ONE WEEK!

@WE_R_FLY
One final

Shoutout to this years
@TheRaiderRiot
Executive Board and Senate. They didn’t just beat the record for student attendance this season, they SHATTERED it!
#WreckEm
May not have gotten the win, but there was not a better atmosphere in all of college basketball last night and that’s a fact
Let’s do it again on Wednesday as
#14
West Virginia comes to town
#ClassCrowd
#WreckEm
To be fair to Texas fans, this game was basically Washington’s Sugar Bowl. They’ve had this game circled on their calendars for weeks. While the Longhorns were focused on winning championships, the Huskies were only focused on beating them
Nobody will remember:
- Your salary
- Your fancy title
- How ‘busy’ you were
- How stressed you were
- How many hours you worked
People will remember:
@CoachAdams_TTU
went 18-0 in the USA with sweeps over Baylor & Texas in his 1st season as Head Coach
Imagine having a Top-10 basketball team and being so consumed about a “non-rival” fan base to point out a typo on ESPN
For the record, the worst attendance for Texas Tech this season is higher than a Texas sell out ☕️👌🏽
BREAKING: Jesus Christ (Nazareth 5*) has emerged from the Portal, going back on his original commitment to Death.
Devil releases statement blasting God for tampering and demands NCAA clamp down on harder restrictions.
In one month Goodman went from "Texas Tech is the worst job in the Big 12" to "Texas Tech is the best environment in College Basketball"
That's what happens when you take a trip to Lubbock
Me (after having worked in athletics for a decade before moving to main campus): “So you’re telling me you don’t need a cinematic recap for this luncheon?”
