Public Enemy No. 1 is back in Lubbock — the No. 23 Texas Longhorns are set to face off against the No. 14 Texas Tech Red Raiders in head coach Chris Beard’s much-anticipated return to United Supermarkets Arena.
And it’s not exactly looking like the lovefest that longtime Texas head coach Rick Barnes experienced in his return to the Erwin Center last Saturday. In fact, it’s basically the opposite.
Students have been waiting for days to get into the arena. When they did, they walked across a rug with a picture of Beard at his Texas introductory press conference on it.
