Viva The Matadors, a Texas Tech Red Raiders community

Winston Reeves Photograph Collection I've had three awful days this week, haven't done a thing for DTN. Consider this your open thread to discuss NCAA tournament games, spring football (the picture above is from the 1938 Texas Tech football team). There is a great preview of each team in the NCAA field of 65 at Searching for Billy Edelin. Maybe things will be back to normal next week.

Seth C: I just liked the mo-hawked picture of Ryan Young. Link. Ryan’s junior quarterback gave an oral commitment to the Red Raiders on Sunday night, turning down offers from SMU, Arizona and Baylor. Oral commitments are non-binding. The first day a recruit can sign a national letter of intent is Feb. 3, 2010. "All the coaches and everything were really great," Young said. "I think the system they run at Tech is pretty similar [to Ryan’s system]. It just seems like a good fit to me. I liked how all the coaches treated me. It seems like the place I’d like to be."
