Arkansas football notebook: Texas Tech coach grew up with Razorback season tickets

FAYETTEVILLE — The Liberty Bowl matchup with Arkansas is an exciting one to third-year Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire.

McGuire, 53, said he grew up as a Razorback fan in Texarkana, Texas. His family had season tickets to Arkansas’ football games at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.

“From whenever I was 4 years old until we moved to Fort Worth, which was in 1983, we had tickets,” McGuire said. “It’s hard not to grow up a Razorback fan whenever you go to those games and see the plastic Razorback hats. I might have had one of those in my closet.
