Hey guys. There's a couple of threads on the Texas Tech Board about UND. Don't take any of them too seriously, it's all in fun. Enjoy. http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=188&f=1650&t=4547509 http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=188&f=1650&t=4548406

No TV for this game. Sorry guys.

Below is from the Texas Tech website: Individual Tickets | Buy Tickets Online Individual game tickets go on sale August 10th, excluding Texas A&M and Oklahoma tickets which will only be available for purchase through a mini-pack on this date. All seats for North Dakota, Rice, and New Mexico are $35, Kansas and Kansas State $55, and if available Texas A&M and Oklahoma $95 By the way, I was at a fundraiser last night, and they auctioned off 2 Tech / UND tickets--they went for $115.00. If you are interested, you should try to get the tickets on August 10th or soon thereafter. The "visiting" section will be in the Northeast Corner of "The Jones". If you buy individual tickets, then you will more than likely be mixed in with Tech fans. You can order tickets through the Texas Tech Ticket Office by calling (806) 742-TECH.

I would be shocked if the game was on TV. The Big 12 is a FUBAR TV deal, which also includes Internet Broadcasts. IF--IF another Big 12 Home OOC game is on TV at the time that of the Tech / UND game, then NO Internet Broadcast will be available. At least, that's the way it has been the past years. BTW--without TV Coverage, expect KO to be at 6:00PM. Again, that's they way it has been for several years now.

Tech's new QB will be Taylor Potts. He's 6'5" / 215 - 220lbs (+), and has a strong arm. He needs to work on his touch, but he has some zip on the ball. Big, very physical QB. Offensively, we lose Harrell, Crabtree, Eric Morris(#12) , Shannon Woods(#2), and 3 OL. Defensively, we lose 4 starters--3 DB's and 1 DT. I know you can search YOUTUBE to see some Tech videos, but below is the link for the Oklahoma State game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMCo1FI7NK8 EDIT: Trying to figure out how to post a youtube link.

Texas Tech fan here. First, thanks to the mods / admin guys for letting me sign up and post. I'm not one to talk trash--at least to people that I don't know. I mainly talk football, and I love X's and O's discussions. Now, for coming to Lubbock for the game, I plan on posting some more information during the summer. That being said, I would go ahead and try to get a hotel room as they tend to go fast. If you decide not to come, you can always cancel the room. You can call Marriott, Hilton, Holiday Inn, etc. and get a room. Since the game won't be on TV, kickoff will be at 6:00 PM. Not bad for West Texas. It will be hot during the day, but with our arid climate, it will cool down quickly. Highs on Labor Day weekend are usually 90 degrees, but in the evenings it should be around 80 - 85---and no humidity. We are expanding our stadium ($65Million) so the East Lot, where the best tailgating usually happens, is being moved. Where.....don't know yet. Regardless, Tech has the best tailgates. The general rule is you can just walk up, get a beer, and eat steak, fajitas, peppers, brats, dogs, or ribs. And, if you are single (or even if you are not), you will definately see plently of "eye candy". I look foward posting here and learning about your team, and answer any questions that you guys may have about Tech and Lubbock.
