Donald Trump was elected the 45th President of the United States of America on Tuesday.
Before his political career, Trump became good friends with former Texas Tech head football coach Mike Leach. In a 2007 upset against Oklahoma, Trump was welcomed as a guest in ESPN’s broadcasting booth and introduced the Texas Tech starting lineup.
The following year when College Gameday was in Baton Rouge, ESPN aired a video about Lubbock, and Trump was afforded the opportunity to send a message to Mike Leach and Texas Tech (4:00 mark in the video below)
ESPN’s “The Magazine” asked Leach about Trump at the 1:56 mark below, and Leach says the billionaire brought the Red Raiders good luck.
