This weekend has a chance to be special for our 10th ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders who will be playing a three game series against our nemesis/chief sports rival/Public Enemy #1, the University of Texas Longhorns. I don’t care what the sport is, anytime Texas Tech is matched up with UT, our fandom meter jumps from “over-the-top for not a lot of good reasons” to “extremely over-the-top for some reasons that make sense but mainly not a lot of reasons that make sense”. Quite simply it’s “sports hate” and you know it’s true.
A little background.
