In today’s Big 12, nothing has become move coveted than the home night game. With the league’s television partners seemingly more inclined to prioritize the 11 am and 3 pm kickoff windows, night games are becoming increasingly rare. But Texas Tech fans will get at least one home Big 12 kickoff under the lights as it has been announced that the home finale against Kansas State will kick at 6 pm.
How much juice there will be in the stadium is debatable after the paltry showing from the fan base in Saturday’s game against TCU. Of course, that game was an 11 am kickoff but being as it was against an in-state rival and a virtual must-win for the team’s bowl hopes, the tens of thousands of empty seats were a huge disappointment.
