DTN News:
It took long enough, but I've updated the DTN Blogroll, adding a number of new blogs that just didn't get added before.
Although a week late, would enough of you be interested in starting a Yahoo! pick-em league? The winner would receive a Double T Nation t-shirt. If you are interested send me an email or leave a comment below.
Texas Tech Football:
LAJ's Don Williams previews the game and notes that this SMU team is improved. Coach Leach on the Mustangs:
Don also has Texas Tech-SMU Game Facts.
FWST's Dwain Price has a nice article cornerback Jamar Wall. An interesting note at the end of the article:
Graham Harrell also says something as well:
"But we need him at DB; he's making great plays out there and he's going to be an unbelievable DB for us. But maybe we'll sneak him in on offense and use him in a couple of secret packages."
I don't recall ever reading anything where Wall was included so this may be something to watch for as the season progresses.
SAEN's Tim Griffin has a preview of today's game and picks the Red Raiders to roll, 34-17.
DMN's Kate Hairopoulos previews today's game and mentions that SMU's defensive end Cory Muse is officially out for today's game. Hairopoulos thinks the key to Texas Tech's victory is Graham Harrell, the offensive line and the new receivers expose an SMU defense and the Texas Tech secondary slows the Mustangs.
Hairopoulos also has an article from the SMU perspective, that this could be a statement game for the Mustangs.
The AP's Jaime Aron takes us back to 2004 when SMU head coach Phil Bennett let Coach Leach know that he wasn't happy with a late touchdown.
The Chron's Terrance Harris also has a preview.
