What's missing from Texas Tech's 2025 football schedule

Today from Lubbock, TX on Locked On Texas Tech: We discussed the newly released 2025 Texas Tech football schedule, analyzing key aspects like the lack of weeknight games, bye week placement, and road game challenges. We noted the schedule starts with three consecutive home games before a tough stretch of road contests. While competitively favorable overall, success will hinge on improved road performance. We expressed frustration about the lack of protected rivalries, particularly the absence of games against regional opponents like Baylor and TCU. This sparked a debate on the merits of seeing all conference teams regularly versus maintaining traditional rivalries. We compared the fervor of Texas Tech football and basketball fans, acknowledging the different contexts but noting the intense atmospheres at both venues. The Chris Beard return game was highlighted as an exceptionally charged environment. Join the Matador Mob today! Your direct line to Casey & Chris via one-on-one texts straight to your phone.
