Like KU, Texas Tech fans are known as one of the most passionate fan bases in the country. They consistently fill the stands for sports beyond just football, and hold on to nostalgic traditions that carry deep sentimental value.
One of these traditions is fans throwing tortillas into the air during the opening kickoff, and occasionally during other exciting moments in the game. Although the practice was technically banned before the start of the season, many fans still manage to make it happen. Tortillas are generally pretty harmless, that is, when they're just tortillas.
During last Saturday's contest at Texas Tech, things got hectic in the crowd, and chaos spilled onto the sideline.
