Texas Tech Basketball Coach Chris Beard Officiates Fan's Wedding, Brings Food

Texas Tech head men's basketball coach Chris Beard delivered on a promise he made to a fan on Twitter just under one year ago.

On August 1, 2019, Twitter user Rylee Albracht asked Beard how many retweets it would take for him to officiate their wedding. Beard said he would do so and also bring Whataburger for everyone at the wedding if the Texas Tech student section was filled for the team's November 5, 2019, game.

It came to fruition, and Beard provided proof that he was at the wedding Friday:

Chris Beard

Promise kept.
