Open Thread: January 3rd Bowl Game & Miscellaneous Links

There's not really any Texas Tech news out there, except other than Tyron Johnson picked LSU, John Scott Jr. will be coaching at Buffalo and some miscellaneous links, so in order to save myself some time, we'll have today's open thread and those miscellaneous links all in one spot. Don't forget that the men's basketball team plays at 1:00 pm today in Lubbock.
