Big Texas Tech game today. Triple overtime thriller vs TCU. It was one of the best games I've seen Tech in, in years. Sure we pummeled West Virginia last week, but it is much more fun and exciting to win a closely contested road contest. Now the very last South West Conference game for Tech was also vs TCU when I was still a pre teen. Tech lost in a very hotly contested game.
People in Lubbock have been wondering who would be Tech's new biggest rival. Of course we have Texas, and Oklahoma but we can be neither of those teams' biggest rival. TCU is our new biggest rival because both programs are fighting for the same space. Both schools look out from the shadow cast by the big 2 and say, "We can take them!" A&M was Tech's biggest rival, but one thing always irked me about them. They knew they were a big rival of ours but when asked most Aggie fans would say, "Our only rival is Texas." As if we were beneath them. Well to TCU fans I say, "Welcome back to the rivalry!"
