It is tough for Texas Tech football fans to have any real animosity towards Iowa State. Aside from when the two schools meet face-to-face, there seem to be few reasons for Red Raiders and Cyclones to quarrel.
But raise your hand if you are tired of seeing Tech play the role of the fire hydrant while Iowa State plays the role of the German shepherd and lifts its hind leg on the Double-T in football. What was once as close to a guaranteed Big 12 win as Red Raider fans could assume outside of Kansas has now become a game that most view as one of the more difficult on the schedule, regardless of the fact that it is being played in Lubbock.
