This Saturday, if the Texas Tech football team beats lowly Kansas, that should have no bearing on Matt Wells’ job status.
Beating a legless man in a race. Dominating a 7-year-old in a game of basketball. Outsmarting an Aggie. Those are all accomplishments akin to beating Kansas in football, which the Texas Tech football team will almost certainly do on Saturday.
