My son is a Texas Tech grad. He has always had the upper hand with their football vs UTEP's. I've always felt a little edge with the basketball programs, but look at it now. Tech is 4-0 and all victories have been lopsided winning by an average of 28 points. Just beat Northwestern by 26 and they were ranked 20th nationally. From out of nowhere Tech has emerged as a great team. They are usually a .500 or so team. Their coach is in his second year (Chris Beard) from Mc Murry, Little Rock and Angelo State. Pretty impressive.
