Texas Tech story


Nov 13, 2018, 8:56 PM

Well.......sorta. So I was in Lubbock today and I was having lunch at a local mom & pop restaurant. The table next to me was 6 local men, I’d guess the age range was 60-70. They’re sitting 6-8 ft from me and the place wasn’t very busy, so I can hear their conversation easily. Here’s the point. I listened to these fully grown men, have a 15 minute conversation about “the masked rider” riding a horse into the stadium. I just thought it was incredibly strange. Sounded like a conversation you might hear 8 yr olds engaged in. I guess they’re not football fans, they just like horses and costumes.

TU for surviving Lubbock and not aggravating the old timers with jokes about masked men and horses!

Go Tigers!!!

Texas Tech.....Guns Up....Grades Down. You pretty much only go to Lubbock to party and if you don't stay drunk and party there is no way you will not go crazy in Lubbock. A self fulfilling prophecy.

During my working days I used to go to Lubbock quite often. Would usually arrive on a late night flight. The car rental agency was always closed at the hour upon my arrival and they would leave the keys and info re location, color and other info on where the car was located. One night I arrived during a freezing rain. The car could be unlocked only by inserting the key in the door. There was so much ice on the car I could not insert the key. I had to walk back to the terminal to get some sort of tool so I could chip off the ice. I had no umbrella or raincoat so was getting soaked and freezing. When finally able to insert the key and get in the car, I had to start up and wait about 30 - 45 minutes to deice the windshield, There was an ice scraper in the glove compartment so used it to scrape the windows. The windows would refreeze as fast as I scraped off the ice. Needless to say, the Welcome Wagon was not there to assist me.

I'm not even going to tell about how I had to walk to school with the sole of my shoe flopping and the cardboard I had stuck in my shoe wearing out due to the heavy rain and snow mixed. Oh wait...
