Jimbo's Alma Mater

Remember the snickers Aggies gathered from Tech's non-conference schedule?

Now who's laughing!

Samford? SAMFORD?!?!

do better, Texas A&M

What's a Red Raider? Serious question.

Tech played Ark Pine Bluff, Kent State & powerhouse Oregon State in August so got no room to talk!

t-sippers played Sam Houston, UTEP & SJSU so also got no room to talk!

To be fair, Tech had Oregon on their non-conference schedule but that was cancelled due to their Big Ten transition.

To be fair, every team plays mostly "crap" teams to improve their odds of playing in the post season. Everyone gets it, except the fans of a team playing a good team that week.

If only Aggies possessed this reasoning at the beginning of the season.

Remember your own mantra, no excuses ever allowed.

Sit down little one.

To be fair, A&M had Notre Dame on their non-conference schedule, the game wasn't cancelled, and A&M won.

If you had any interest other than an extremely weak attempt at trolling, you would have already known it is actually well recognized Christian school (Baptist) in Birmingham (but I am not surprised you didn't anything know about a Christian school).

We got here because Jimbo Fisher played QB there under Terry Bowden and is good friends with their AD. He committed to play them to give them a good payday (read- pay a big chunk of their athletic budget for the year). Our new AD and coach being honorable men elected to not cancel the contract and honor it (of course I wouldn't expect to know anything about that either).

Weird thread and complete lack of discernment on overall SOS, but I'd expect nothing less from 2 middle aged men with a combined ~50,000 posts on TexAgs.

And you're an idiot. That game was scheduled because Tarleton was 9-1 and didn't wanna get beat up before their playoffs start. Do better sippie fan boy.

The Story Behind Texas Tech's Red Raiders Nickname Evolution

"When Texas Technological College first opened its doors in 1925, the football team was known as The Matadors. The name was chosen as a tribute to the university's Spanish Renaissance architecture, which was modeled after the classic style found in Spain. It fit the look of the campus but didn't necessarily reflect the grit of West Texas culture. The Matadors remained the team's identity for just over a decade. Then, a turning point arrived.

In 1936, a sportswriter used the phrase Red Raiders to describe the team's aggressive play after a big win. The name stuck. Soon, Texas Tech officially adopted Red Raiders as the team's nickname, retiring the Matadors identity for good.

The switch gave the school a tougher, more dynamic brand that resonated with players and fans. Over time, the Red Raiders' name became inseparable from Texas Tech pride."
