Sometimes sports have the power to divide us while at other times the can heal us. That’s what the 2010 Alamo Bowl and the week leading up to it did for Texas Tech football fans.
On the surface, a game between two unranked teams should have been just another run of the mill college bowl game in an oversaturated landscape. But in reality, this was one of the most important games in Tech history.
