Mike Leach Mesmerized By UFO's, Barry Switzer Card Tricks
Mike Leach, head coach of Texas Tech and one of the most prolific distributors of free ham college football has ever seen, has visited the UFO exhibits at Roswell, N.M., and declared them "awesome." He is also the master of voodoo card tricks, and has stared down the biggest tornado in U.S. history, all according to him. (Video below). This should all come as comforting news to Red Raiders fans, whose team can clinch its first Big 12 title on Saturday in Norman, Okla. More »

Saturday Night Live Blog: #9 Oklahoma State at #2 Texas Tech
The Big XII has thirteen teams in the Top 10, and this is just another night in which two of them square off on a Saturday night. The undefeated Red Raiders get their second straight prime-time big game against the once-defeated Cowboys. Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreit brand cows with their initials. What the world needs now, is jump, sweet jump.

Texas Tech Bikinigate Shocks, Arouses A Nation (With Update)
Sunday's afternoon blogdome featured this photo, purportedly of the Texas Tech women's swim team and part of Gunaxin's salute to the girls of Texas Tech. Only one problem: Texas Tech doesn't have a women's swim team. The photo, says Deadspin reader and Lubbock native Jesse Tow, is an obvious Photoshop. And indeed, upon closer scrutiny, the evidence of fakery fairly jumps off the screen. More »

Missing The Terrible (And Amazing) Authoritarianism Of Bob Knight
When we first began studying to be a journalist at the University of Illinois — as much as one ever "studies" to be a journalist — one of our professors told us that you're not really a journalist until you've done the worst, but necessary, job in the journ world: You've called up the family of someone who has died in an accident. It's part of the job, and, if you'll exclude the crudeness, it's a cherry you have to break to become the hard-bitten, aggressive, clear-eyed reporter you're expected to be. In the sports department at the Daily Illini, there was an equivalent: Standing up and asking Bob Knight a question. It involved less of a moral stand, but just as much intestinal fortitude.

Goodnight, Knight
As you've probably heard by now, Bob Knight has resigned as coach of Texas Tech because he's "tired of coaching. Obviously, much more about this tomorrow, but for now, we'll say this: Growing up, there was no more fierce Leitch family villain that Bobby Knight. He served as a stand-in for all that was wrong with the planet. We have slightly different feelings now, but no matter to all that: It's obvious that we will miss him immensely.

Texas Tech Red Raiders
1. Nic Cage Likes Them Out of the East. The "Masked Rider" mascot of Texas Tech began unofficially in 1936 as "The Ghost Rider," as unknown groups of students would circle the field on horses at home football games, then depart the stadium. At the 1954 Gator Bowl, The Masked Rider became the official mascot and the first horse-ridden mascot in major college sports. Tech's other mascot, Raider Red, so developed because of an old Southwestern Conference Law preventing live animal mascots at away games, is played by a student who cannot reveal his identity during the entire duration of his tenure as "Raider Red."

Bobby Knight Unlocks Another Mystery
Bobby Knight sure has been chatty since breaking the all-time NCAA men's win mark. Here's his take on the whole Bill Parcells situation in Dallas. Parcells, a longtime friend of Knight's since their coaching days at Army, resigned earlier this week. The reason? It's all because of Terrell Owens, of course. More »

"I Took You Out Because You're Not SMILING Out There"
Well, we know college basketball season is officially upon us: Bob Knight is being accused of brutalizing a player again. This time, it was Texas Tech sophomore forward Michael Prince, who made the mistake of not making eye contact with Knight while being lectured after a timeout. Knight bopped Prince under the chin, and Prince, being a trained athlete and not, say, an infant, did not break his jaw or burst into tears. More »

The Gospel According To Bobby Knight
Remember the Larry Krueger radio imbroglio from this past summer? His replacement on KNBR-680 Sportsphone radio, Damon Bruce, hasn't really been all that much of an improvement (although he refrains from slurs against Dominican hitters, we'll give him that). Bruce has his moments, though. One came on Monday night, in a recurring feature he calls "The Gospel According to Bobby Knight." More » -

Gotta Support The Team
When we were a kid, we would always stay in the stadium hours after Illinois football games ended so we could watch the players and press meet by the tunnel to the locker rooms; something about balding paunchy men interviewing people 30 years their junior fascinated us even then. We never quite had the gumption, however, of a Texas Tech fan after their game earlier this season, who screams at Oklahoma players "Goooo Raiders!" repeatedly.

Bob Knight's Kid Keeps Falling Upward
According to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal — which has to be the strangest name for a newspaper we've ever seen — Texas Tech assistant basketball coach Pat Knight will succeed his father (his dad goes by "Bob") as the Red Raiders' head coach. We are wary of calling this eventual promotion "nepotism" or "everyone being too scared of his dad to so much as cough," so we thought we'd take a look at the younger Knight's resume. You know, just in case. More » -
