Others were concerned about this game foreshadowing the rest of the reason.
Others said it was Texas Tech being Texas Tech. If you know, you know.
That was the most Texas Tech football game I’ve ever seen.

Fans were not happy about going into OT
Fans were unhappy about the overtime. And a Red Raider icon chimed in on social media.
Michael Crabtree was not the only one asking questions during OT.
Which would be funnier?
An Oregon loss to Idaho or a Texas Tech loss to Abilene Christian?

Some fans were even wondering if Texas Tech Athletics needed to focus on the football program rather than the “razzle dazzle.”
I just think that Texas Tech should do less… razzle and more dazzle, ya know? Like… less stadium renovations and more… points. I totally sound like an armchair QB dad who hasn’t played a down of football in 60 years and takes a cocktail of meds with his Coors but that’s ok.
