Kirby Hocutt stands defiant over Big 12 rule bucking Texas Tech’s tortilla tradition

Well, it looks like all but one team in the Big 12 enjoys celebrating traditions and having fun in college football. For some ridiculous reason or another, a grand total of 15 members of the 16-team conference made the decision to put an end to the quirky and beloved (and admittedly a little wasteful) tradition of Texas Tech fans throwing tortillas during the opening kickoff.

To be completely fair to the folks who are seemingly trying to take away beloved traditions and fun in a sport that is supposed to be about beloved traditions and fun, the rule in question has to do with throwing objects onto the field.
