The Aggies are hot, moving up to number 6 in the polls and tying their highest men's basketball ranking ever. Tonight is a true test. A road game in Lubbock vs the 14-5 Red Raiders.
All right, I'm not a Tech fan by any means. Although my sister actually went to Tech in the early 90's, I don't know if I've seen a less classy fan base anywhere. Texas Tech fans make Oakland Raider fans look like Cub Scouts.
From their high flying tortillias to their dorms which actually have "Drug Free" floors Seriously, if they have "drug free" floors what does that make the other floors?
You may remember in the 90's when Tech fans threw red punch all over our football team as they were coming onto the field. Or when Tech fans got into an actual fight with the Aggie basketball team after a game in Lubbock in the early 90's.
On campus, they even have a statue of Will Rogers riding a horse in which the rear of the horse intentionally faces Aggieland.
One thing that I truely do love about Tech is that the Masked Rider looks exactly like the Hamburglar from Micky D's.
I went to a football game at Jones Staduim in 1994. My brother, myself and a couple of friends and my had one of the best times just laughing at their outrageous traditions and the Tech band. The game started with the Lone Ranger making a guest appearance (apparently that's their mascot) and Tech fans tossing tortillas around like frisbees.
Next was the truely fun part, I don't know if you've ever seen "The Puffy Shirt" episode of Seinfeld, but we had a field day heckeling the fans around us with this one. It had to just have been release a week or two before because it was fresh on our minds. The Texas Tech band marched out onto the field to our "Avast, Ye Matey!" and "Arrrrr!" yells.
If you haven't seen "The Puffy Shirt" episode, it's a must see! You'll think about the Tech band the next time you see it.
To borrow a line from one of the Dixie Girls, "I'm embarassed they're from Texas".
Gig'em!
