Texas heads to ‘Iraq’ to face hostile night game environment at Texas Tech

When the Texas Longhorns arrive in Lubbock to play a night game at Jones AT&T Stadium against the Texas Tech Red Raiders, they might as well be heading to Iraq. Or Siberia. The type of place you don’t want to visit.

At least, that was the description infamously offered and then retracted by former Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville in 2017. He didn’t like it there, apparently.

Texas Tech fans will do their best to make it a hostile environment, throwing tortillas and generally attempting to live up to their reputation as one of the rudest fan bases in college football.
