Congratulations to the 2009 TCL Champion Coppell Copperheads

That’s right, the 21-26 3rd place team in the TCL swept through the playoffs to win their 3rd Championship in 6 years, and I was there…at least at all the home games.

A look ahead to September 5th…

Alright sports fans. We are 24 days away from the season opener against the mighty Fightin’ Sioux from North Dakota. I, personally, know very little about our initial opponent because, well, they are the University of North Dakota. Here is what I do know… 1. North Dakota just got snazzy new uniforms… That’s right, Texas [...]

I’m back!

Well, the summer job is nearly over, so I find myself with a lot more time on my hands. For those who check and don’t know, I spent this summer working for the Coppell Copperheads, a summer collegiate baseball team in the Texas Collegiate League. I was helping with media relations (writing stories, updating the [...]

Sorry for the hiatus…

Sorry to all my reader(s) for not updating. I’ve been very busy with school and other things. Fortunately, I am done for the summer and will hope to do some more updates. I’ve also been doing some writing (mostly weekend previews) for Brian Foley over at TheCollegeBaseballBlog.com. This summer, I’ll be the Media Relations intern [...]

California road trip proves disasterous for young Red Raiders

8 games in California over 11 days seemed like a good idea to test the young Texas Tech baseball team, unfortunately, the Red Raiders scored a 12.5 on the test. With only 1 win on the road trip, Tech dropped their season record to 6-8, 0-7 away from Dan Law Field. The story of the [...]

Big 12 Update

With 2 weekends under the belt, the Big 12 race is beginning to take shape.

West Coast not kind to Texas Tech

Murphy’s Law states, “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” No truer statement can be used to describe the first weekend of Texas Tech’s 11 day road trip through California. The Red Raiders began their exploration of California’s collegiate baseball squads with a 3-game series against 1-3 Cal-State Northridge. Most pundits expected the Red [...]

Newcomers playing a big role in Texas Tech’s 5-1 start

Dan Spencer is a far different coach than Larry Hays. Hays’ squads were typically filled with junior college players who were stellar with the bat. Spencer has taken a different approach, finding talent in the high school ranks. So far in 2009, Spencer has played 8 true freshman. Of those 8 freshmen, 3 have found [...]

Tech splits midweek series with New Mexico

The Texas Tech Red Raiders suffered their first loss of the season on Tuesday, falling 13-10 to the New Mexico Lobos. The Lobos came on strong in the first two innings, scoring 5 runs on Tech starter Nathan Karns. The Red Raiders answered back with 7 runs of their own in the first few innings [...]

Injuries make 4-0 start bittersweet for Texas Tech

For the first time since 2005, Texas Tech started the season with 4 straight victories. Pitchers A.J. Ramos and Miles Morgan returned from injury with incredible results, but 2B Willie Rueda and C Jeremy Mayo were struck by injuries that could limit them for the next couple of weeks. Saturday saw the triumphant return of [...]

The Dan Spencer Era begins in Lubbock

Friday, February 20th was the dawn of a new era in Texas Tech baseball. The changing of the guard was officially ushered in with a double header sweep of Southern Utah University and Texas-Pan American, moving Texas Tech to 2-0 for the first time since the 2006 season. Game 1 got off to a quick [...]

Leach vs. Myers

The deadline has passed. The contract remains unsigned. Bring in the Board of Regents. Friday seems to be the new date for the next event in the drama that has occured following the best season in Texas Tech Football history. Next season could see a disgruntled coach, or even a new coach. Maybe it needs [...]

T minus 1 day until first pitch

Friday marks opening day for NCAA Baseball, thanks to the late start that was implemented last season. While most fans are gearing up for March Madness, there is that one small group that is waiting for those gates to open on the newest edition of collegiate baseball. The Big 12 will officially start play when [...]

SIGNING DAY +2

Two days after NSD. There is only one thing to report, and that is the news that LB James Scott may be the first grade casualty of the 2009 class. LB Brandon Mahoney and DT Myles Wade are still working on getting everything in order. Wade will need to finish 8 hours this summer before [...]

SIGNING DAY!

National Signing Day has come and gone yet again. The only difference between this year and past years was the overall calibur of Tech’s class. Tech signed 25 players to Letters of Intent this morning, including a surprise switch in Oklahoma DT Pearlie Graves, a 4-star who was initially committed to Michigan. Here’s a breakdown [...]

Trifecta!

Tech seemingly ended their recruiting season with yet another former Oklahoma commit. On Sunday, the Red Raiders picked up not only their 3rd commit of the day, but also their 3rd commit to be a previous OU commit. MLB Brandon Mahoney, a 3-star player on Rivals.com and 59th player in the state of Texas. The [...]

Tech adds 2 DEs to 2009 class

Tech picked up 2 new recruits in a much needed position this weekend. DE Chris Knighton from Longview, Texas, pulled the trigger after visiting Lubbock with 3 other recruits this weekend. Knighton, a former OL, was named to the TSWA 4A All-State 1st Team after collecting 90 tackles, 9 sacks and 1 INT for Longview [...]
