Getting to a bowl game used to be extremely difficult, unlike today when over half of the teams in the nation are invited to a postseason game. Though the distinction of being a bowl team does not carry the weight that it used to, that is still a worthy goal for the 2019 Texas Tech football team.
In all, the Red Raiders have been to 38 bowl games in program history. That ranks 20th nationally and is more than programs such as Norte Dame, TCU, UCLA, Stanford, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma State can claim. In fact, the only Big 12 teams with more bowl appearances are Texas (55) and Oklahoma (52).
