((HT: ESPN/NCAA))
First, let's go with the incident at first base where the Miami first base coach, Gino DiMare, tapped the Red Raiders first baseman, Eric Gutierrez, on the top of the head like one of those "Hey, son, what do you think you're doing" moves...
From Luke Zimmerman's Vine
And, then, it carried down 90 feet and led to three ejections...
Gutierrez, DiMare, and after home plate- Tech assistant J-Bob Thomas. Gutierrez is the Big 12 Conference home run leader. So, advantage goes to Miami on man power used.
Tech won 3-0 and advance to the regional final...
Here's the long version
To go with that, Texas A&M beat rice in 10 innings 9-8 on a game-winning wild pitch...

Smart Gets Three Games For Incident, Superfan Done For Year...
((HT: CBSSports))
Marcus Smart got three games worth of suspension for his response to Texas Tech fan Jeff Orr the other night...
Orr says he didn't use a racial slur in the incident. Smart maintains Orr did... but Orr also says he will not go to any more Red Raiders games this season...
He volunteered that he said something he shouldn't have to the OSU forward and he also was the one who decided not to attend anymore games in the 13-14 season... kind of a self-imposed punishment...
The HQ does wonder how big a booster he is, though...
Doug Gottlieb, via his Twitter, revealed a conversation Orr had with a friend of his
saying it got out of control (pictured right from Gottlieb)
"I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincere apologies to Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State, Tubby Smith and the Texas Tech Men's Basketball program. My actions last night were inappropriate and do not reflect myself or Texas Tech - a university I love dearly.
I regret calling Mr. Smart a 'piece of crap' but I want to make it known that I did not use a racial slur of any kind. Additionally, I would like to offer my apologies to Texas Tech fans that have been embarrassed by the attention this incident has created."
But, it wasn't the first time, Orr has been caught on tape responding for his Raiders the way he has...
Go all the way to the end of the video...
It's a very superfannish reaction...
((HT: ESPN2))
But, it was time for Smart and the school to address the issue- any internal discipline will come from coach Travis Ford. Smart wouldn't answer questions, but did offer this to start:
"I want to apologize to the fan, whose name is Jeff Orr, I want to apologize to him, my teammates, my coach. This is not how I condone msyelf. I just can't let that happen again. It's a lesson I'll have to learn from; it's all on me. I truly apologize to all those that are important to me. I feel I let my teammates down."
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby released this statement from the league office:
"Mr. Smart's actions were a clear violation of the Big 12 Conference's Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct Policy. Such behavior has no place in athletics, and will not be tolerated. I appreciate the efforts of Oklahoma State University athletics director Mike Holder in addressing this matter, and believe this is an appropriate response to an inappropriate action."

Texas Tech QB Davis Webb Enjoyed His Holiday With 4 Touchdown Passes. Texas Tech Defeats Arizona State 37-23
Texas Tech quarterback Davis Webb must have been tired of the losing.
The Red Raiders had lost five in a row heading into their Holiday Bowl match-up with Arizona State.
Everybody was not high on us on in the beginning of the year, we won 7 games, everybody was on our shoulders and we lose five in a row and everybody disappeared." Webb said.
Texas Tech showed up Monday night in San Diego and Webb had a huge game as the Red Raiders defeated Arizona State 37-23.
Thanks AJ Media
The final numbers for Davis Webb, he completed 28 of 41 passes for 403 yards and four touchdowns which ties the Holiday Bowl record.
Thanks ESPN
"When Coach told me I was going to start, there was nothing but joy," Webb said. "I told myself that I was going to make sure that I was going to send the seniors out right. We came prepared. We leaned on each other and we showed that today."
"Everybody in that locker room believed that we could beat Arizona State and we did that." Webb added.
Webb left San Diego with the Holiday Bowl offensive MVP award.
"It's always great to end on a win especially in a big-time bowl game like this, the Holiday Bowl, so it will definitely help our cause." Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury said.

Frogs Are "Raided" in Lubbock, Texas Tech Upsets #24 TCU 20-10
The Kliff Kingsbury era at Texas Tech is off to a great start.
The Red Raiders are off to a 3-0 start after defeating #24 TCU in Lubbock, Texas Thursday night 20-10.
It was an ugly game on the West Texas plains with the Horned Frogs and Red Raiders committing five turnovers combined.
Texas Tech freshman quarterback Baker Mayfield threw three interceptions and had to leave the game in the fourth quarter injured.
Another freshman quarterback Davis Webb entered and went 3/4 passing and put Texas Tech up for good on a fourth quarter 19 yard touchdown pass to Bradley Marquez.
"Just had a go called, and was able to get a beat on them and keep them on my back shoulder." Marquez said. " Just a beautiful ball by Davis Webb, and those kind of balls you don't drop. So I just had to make a play when it came my way."
It's safe to say TCU head coach Gary Patterson was not a fan of the officiating crew assigned to the game by the Big 12 Conference.
"I can't talk about the officiating, but I will watch it." Patterson said. "I'm not happy."
Patterson witnessed 13 penalties called costing the Frogs 115 yards.
"You can't have as many penalties as we had." Patterson said. "If you're going to do that -- that's why I'm late getting here, because I'm not very happy at all."
TCU drops to 1-2 on the season.

BUZZER BEATER: Texas Tech Ends West Virginia's Season
Texas Tech has had a dreadful season on the hardwood. Heading into their Big 12 Tournament quarterfinal game against West Virginia (The Mountaineers were not that good either.) the Red Raiders were 11-18.
Dejan Kravic brought a bright spot to Texas Tech's season with a buzzer beating tip in to defeat West Virginia 71-69 and extend the season for the Red Raiders.
"It's a 40-minute game, so play for the last second," Kravic said. "I saw the ball come toward me. I thought the clock expired, so I just put it up."
"I would rather be lucky than good," Texas Tech interim head coach Chris Walker said. "We end up being the beneficiary of a put-back, which is great, which is rare for us, which is really good."
“We didn’t block out, which I guess sometimes happens in situations like that,” West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins said. “They got a very fortunate bounce – it bounced right back to him.”
During the regular season West Virginia defeated Texas Tech twice, 77-61 on January 2nd in Lubbock and 66-64 on Feburary 16th in Morgantown, WV.
West Virginia's inability to get to the ball ulitimately did the Mountaineers in.
“Our credo for as long as I’ve coached is get to the ball. It’s hard to win when you can’t get to the ball,” Huggins said. “For whatever reason, this group is the worst we’ve ever had at getting to the ball.”

DEVELOPING: Tubs To Cincinnati
Okay...
Take this one how you want...
But Tommy Tuberville is heading to Cincinnati to hide in the Big East Conference after his time in Lubbock at Texas Tech...
Texas Tech is going to go public later this afternoon with their thoughts. Tuberville was named the Red Raiders head coach January 9, 2010. In his three seasons at Texas Tech, Tuberville was 20-17, 9-17 in the Big 12/10.

Geno Smith Finds Out Texas Tech's Defense Is For Real. Tubs Gets Red Raiders Fired Up With Locker Speech
The fact that Texas Tech had one of the best
defenses in the country was a bit unbelievable but Saturday the Red Raiders
shutdown one of the most potent offenses in the country plus the Heisman Trophy
front runner. We believe now, it’s
proven.
The Red Raider defense frustrated West Virginia
quarterback Geno Smith who finished 29 of 55 passing for 275 yards and one
touchdown. Far below the numbers Smith
has been putting up this season.
West Virginia’s offense did put up 406 yards of
total offense but no WVU running back had 100 yards and the Mountaineer
receivers were held to double digits in yards.
Not to mention a WVU offense used to scoring at will
only totaled 14 points Saturday afternoon in Lubbock.
Texas Tech safety D.J. Johnson, who had six tackles
against West Virginia, explains the Red Raider game plan against the
Mountaineers. (Thanks techathletics)
“We just didn't execute
offensively.” West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said. “We didn't finish
blocks in the run game. We didn't throw and catch like we normally throw and
catch. We obviously didn't finish drives very well. So it was a poor
performance offensively.”
Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege looked more like
the front runner for the Heisman Trophy.
Doege was 32 of 42 passing for a career high 499 yards and tied a career
high with six touchdowns.
“The success that he [Doege] had today, I think a
lot of people across the country saw it because everybody matches quarterback
when's you watch them on television, and they've [West Virginia, Geno Smith] got
a great quarterback.” Texas Tech head coach Tom Tuberville said. “That kid is a
player. I thought Seth obviously did a heck of a job in just running our
offense. Running the ball, taking the screens when they gave it to him,
throwing the ball deep and making big plays.”
Here’s the highlights including Tubs in the locker
room pre and post game. (Thanks techathletics)Saturday, November 26, 2011
DEVELOPING: RG3 Leaves Baylor Game After Head Shot
((HT: FoxSports))
Texas Tech was playing their last game of the regular season and, simultaneously, was trying to get bowl eligible at 6-6 with a win over 18th-ranked Baylor at JerryWorld.
But the Bears had to finish the game without Heisman hopeful Robert Griffin III at quarterback...
Here's the hit to explain why...
Nick Florence had to take over for Griffin and was performing admirably- completing 9 of his first 11 for two scores. By the time the game hit the 59-42 score in the 4th quarter, both teams combined for over 1,000 yards in offense...

Haha! K-State brags about being Texas Champs
 |
| 'nuff said... |
This is making the rounds on Twitter today and we just felt like we should share it.
Kansas State football has had a pretty good season so far. 9-2 and in fact, they've won not 1, not 2, or 3, but 4 games in the state of Texas. Something they or at least some fans who make t-shirts decided to remind the world about.
All that is missing is the title belt.

TWTW: Texas Only Scores 5, Weeden Blows Up Tubs...
((HT: SI.com/FX))
Just when you thought that Texas was on its way back from whatver depth of hell they were in last year...
Here's how Texas can become so gawdawful ineffective on the road...
5 points in Columbia, really...???
And here's how a team coached by Tommy Tuberville can just absolutely roll over... wonder how long it'll take for his act to get stale...???
((HT: ESPN))
Brandon Weeden threw for 423 and 5 TD's as Oklahoma State won by 60...
ANd that takes a special kind of rollover to pull that off...
Thankfully, Brother Phil was only there for the first score while he was on assignment. He missed the following 65 points in Lubbock...

Longhorns Rout Red Raiders, Texas Bowl Eligible
Normally its not news when the Texas Longhorns win their sixth game and become bowl eligible but after the 5-7 disaster last year it is.
Texas got win number six Saturday win a 52-20 crushing of Texas Tech in Austin.
Freshman running back Joe Bergeron led the Horns with 195 yards rushing and three touchdowns on 29 carries.
"It wasn’t easy. It took a lot of hard work." Joe Bergeron said after the game. "The line did their work up front, which in turn the running backs did theirs. It all starts up front. The line made the holes, and I just ran through them."
Here's the game report and highlights from Gus Johnson and FSOG Charles Davis. (Thanks Fox Sports)

TWTW: Two Weeks In A Row For 'Sconsin...And A Let Down In Lubbock
You have to wonder whether or not the Badgers think they're snake bit or something after the last-second loss to Michigan State last Saturday and the last second loss to Ohio State in a wild fourth quarter this week...
From Bee-Cee-Ess contender to 15th-ranked to, now, who knows what...???
((HT: ESPN on ABC/youtube/NCAA))
Here's Bret Bielema postgame, thanks to our friends at WKOW-TV in Madison

The Iowa State blood-letting of Coach Tub in Lubbock, 41-7

((HT: KCBD-TV Lubbock))
Losing their 3rd straight game at home, Tech falls to 5-3 overall and 2-3 in the Big 12/10/9/10. This loss keeps the Red Raiders from becoming bowl eligible... so far...
But the HQ figures there's a TicketCity Bowl bid in their future... or some other Texas-based bowl game before the holidays...

Mike Leach: "My Biggest Regret Was Not Cutting Adam James..."
((HT: SI.com))
Former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach's new book is out...
"Swing Your Sword" could be a metaphor for a lot of different things, but obviously, the biggest story that Leach could tell in this one was the run-in with the James Gang and how the whole Adam-and-Craig against Leach element came to be...
From the book...
As a coach, you want it to work out. We invested a lot of time in coaching Adam James. We worked hard to try to rehabilitate him to make him a working part of the team. We thought he may have simply been the victim of his dad's little-league father tendencies, and that he'd eventually find a way to be his own, independent person. But that didn't turn out to be the case. I should've cut my losses, but I was really hoping that he'd improve and stuck with him.
Here's the video that Adam cut that started everything...
