College Baseball World Series

For the 3rd time in the last 5 years, the Texas Tech Red Raiders Baseball team has made it to the NCAA Baseball College World Series.  This is exciting, and it is really great to watch the game on ESPN.  It is especially great to hear the crowd doing the "Raider" "Power" chant.  That is so exciting.  

The game was supposed to start at 6 PM, but the previous game between University of Texas and Arkansas had a long rain delay.  So the Tech game did not start as scheduled, and was only in the top of the second inning at a little after 9 PM when I left the concert in the park.

I am on vacation this coming week, but even if I was not, I would be staying up late to watch the game.  Go Tech!

Texas Tech Men's Basketball

In my mailbox the other day, I received an invitation to attend the Texas Tech Men's Basketball exhibition game on November 4, 2016 against Missouri Western State University http://texastech.com/news/2016/11/3/mens-basketball-faces-off-with-missouri-western-state-in-lone-exhibition-tilt.aspx.  I was also supposed to get a voucher for two more tickets.  I went to the game tonight, and received my free ticket. I forgot about the voucher, and did not get it.  I think I need to complain to someone. But I am not sure to whom I should complain.  I can call the ticket office Monday morning.

I went to the game. It was okay.  Tech blew out the opponent, but that was expected, I think.

Red Raider Basketball

The regular reader knows that I like basketball, and follow and attend the Lady Raider basketball games http://texastech.com/index.aspx?path=wbball. I also attend the occasional men's game http://www.texastech.com/index.aspx?path=mbball  .  Sometimes, our administrator at work gets us complimentary tickets (over the holidays, in the student section) to the men's games, and sometimes there will be a "double header" during which the price of admission to one game gets you admission to both games. 

I had an email in my inbox yesterday offering me a free ticket to the November 4, 2016 men's exhibition game.  I signed up.  Why not?  It sounds like a good time to me.  Thank you, Texas Tech.
