I fell in love with Texas Tech football on October 2nd, 1999 when as a freshman, I stormed the field after the Red Raiders upset No. 5 Texas A&M 21-19. I was on the field that day when the goalposts came down as I was two years later when the Aggies returned and fists flew after a 12-0 Red Raider win.
Looking back, that game in the final year of the Spike Dykes era is when I would say my true college experience began. It was the genesis of my total immersion into the world of everything Texas Tech.
