Texas Tech’s unfortunate early bowl losing streak continued with the 1949 Raisin Bowl

Early on in the olden days of Texas Tech football, the Red Raiders really didn’t have much fun when leaving Lubbock to go compete in a bowl game. Seriously, we’re talking about multiple decades and multiple coaches and still zero wins in a bowl game as we get to the 1949 Raisin Bowl.

I mean, the Raisin Bowl should make a comeback. Let’s get some sponsors on that one in a hurry. Bring back the Raisin Bowl ASAP, please.

Anyways, it’s also not great to lose a game that’s named after a dehydrated grape. I, for one, think it would have been better had the Red Raiders found a way to get a win in Fresno, California on December 31, 1949.
