Texas Tech University

Ken Leger.

The Texas Tech rodeo team is hosting their 77th annual rodeo.

Emma Kaufman has a preview.

Sanctioned as a part of the Caprock region by the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association, Texas Tech is gearing up for this week's rodeo competition.

I talked with Texas Tech head rodeo coach Swayze Lee about what is to be expected.

Swayze, what do you got going on here in Raiderland? We are hosting our 77th annual Texas Tech Rodeo here at the Texas Tech Equestrian Center.

We're going to have a three-day action-packed event, and we're just excited to have the community out and hopefully enjoy our Texas Tech Raider athletes and have a good time with us.

What is the expected turnout

Like, do we take Maryland at home against Illinois off that big win? There's just a lot of these opportunities.

Do we take Utah now? I know Cincinnati upset Texas Tech, but Utah's on the road.

I guess Houston, a game they shouldn't have covered, on the road against Cincinnati this week.

Cincinnati won, obviously, as well.

I would agree with you.

It goes back to comparing what they'll be.

This is the whole... purpose of strength of record and some of these other things to compare teams texas at nine and three is going to be better than say utah or texas tech at ten and two and i say those two teams because they're byu at least will have the win over notre dame to kind of compare and offset Uh, but, but like with, with, with what you, if Utah were to lose two games or Texas tech were to lose another game and be 10 and two, like, how do you not take a nine and three Texas over a 10 and two, uh, big 12 team like that, that really didn't play anybody in that conference and, and, and doesn't have the quality of win.

So again, again, I'd be curious to see what the committee does in that situation.

when they had to take timeouts because the crowd was so loud, they couldn't hear to make the calls, you know.

It's just, you know, Texas Tech, they, good game.

All right, six before the hour, 844-844-3388.

Top of the morning from Santa Claus.

And I find it interesting, too, the timing that Georgia offered Benny Easter.

He's a current Texas Tech commit.

Not saying that Georgia is going to get that, but When you do that, right, on some momentum after recruiting, hey, that's important.

It's important for what it's worth.

Let's switch gears to college football here.

Cincinnati hammered number eight Texas Tech 37-24, the most improbable score across the country this past weekend.

Texas Tech entered the game fifth nationally in rushing defense skinny.

Colt Tab average 10.8 yards per carry on 16 carries.

He broke a 58-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to help seal this one.

This is against a real defense you did it against.

That's pretty impressive stuff.

Well, and I'm also glad they shut up that stupid redneck Texas Tech booster, Cody Campbell.

UCF beats No. 2 BYU.

Cincinnati beats No. 8 Texas Tech.

South Carolina beats No. 11 Tennessee.

Minnesota

yes Minnesota beating Iowa thank you thank you too Bob yeah

Wisconsin beating USC he's doing a thing which which which one of these kind of looms largest rings loudest when you when you hear these outcomes

Cincinnati beating Texas tech in the fashion that they did.

We all were kind of knee jerk prisoner of the moment with all the big 12 law from the previous week off of the BYU UCF game.

I'm asking this question because I'm a twin, and I have two older sisters, one's late, that are twins as well.

And if I go somewhere in college, me and my twin brother went to the same college, Texas Tech, and when people say, you're Nick's brother, I'm like, I bet I have been named.

Yes, exactly.

What is that like, being Pervy's daughter?

I said, nah, if y'all watching that, I'm going to throw my everything in that and I'm going to achieve, achieve, achieve and work for my work.

And I led to college.

D1 played at Texas Tech.

I went to Phoenix Suns and I've done all these things.

Yeah.

Honestly, if I'm, if I'm yeah, they, they should have just with their athletic prowess, their skill, their talent probably should have, but Texas techs coming in tonight actually ranked higher than Kentucky is in the preseason.

They're ranked 19th coming into night.

But the little bit of unfortunate news for the young gentleman, but good news for Big Blue Nation, is their best player is still out.

UC's homecoming is today.

They're taking on Texas Tech over at Nippert Stadium, so Clifton's going to be very busy today.

Washington Park Fall Fest, which is a free with a pumpkin patch, petting zoo, train rides, and live music.

So that should be great if you want to take the kids down to have some outdoor.
