Because of the way the Texas Tech Red Raiders established themselves and built their team over the offseason, a bit of attention started getting shifted towards Lubbock. The Red Raiders, far from being a blue blood program, are definitely an underdog.
But because of the way Texas Tech took advantage of the Transfer Portal, folks are talking a bit about the Red Raiders (and it’s not always all that positive).
The members of the Texas Tech football program are certainly aware of that. They know. They see the headlines, understand that folks online are chatting about them, and know that people are rooting against them because of that NIL and roster spend.
