No. 10 Texas hosts slumping Texas Tech on Saturday
The No. 10 Texas Longhorns play a second straight game at the Moody Center on Saturday, hosting the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the first matchup since former Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard was fired with cause last week following a felony domestic violence arrest in December.
Beard’s departure from Lubbock less than two years ago inflamed the sentiments of spurned Texas Tech fans, who spent months melting down in public before Texas traveled to the South Plains last February, finally affording them the opportunity to verbally abuse Beard and Longhorns players in person in an ugly scene that fortunately concluded without any physical harm done to the visiting team and its coaches.
