Today marks the first day of classes for Texas Tech, and as well as surrounding colleges and universities.

No, Lubbock isn’t witnessing an overnight explosion of population, it’s just Texas Tech students returning back to the good ole’ South Plains for another promising semester. On the behalf of Viva The Matadors, we wish each and every one of you the best. Strive for Honor.

We are in the final days before Texas Tech football kickoffs their season!

Yes, we’re shaking with excitement too. The Texas Tech Red Raiders will open their season at home against the SFA Lumberjacks underneath the lights. This one will be fun for several reasons, one being that it’s being played at night for the first time in what feels like an eternity. Here’s to another thrilling and hopefully succesful season!

RaiderGate is back!
