This is all I know about TT. Bobby K coached with His son (or am I nuts) and this
Raider Red is one of the mascots of
Texas Tech University. The university's primary mascot is
The Masked Rider who rides a live horse. Raider Red is used at events where The Masked Rider is not allowed or would not be appropriate.
Around the 1971 football season, the
Southwest Conferencecreated a rule forbidding the bringing of live animal mascots to away games unless the host school permitted it.
[1] Since the Masked Rider's horse might have been prohibited from attending some games under this rule, Raider Red was created as an alternate mascot. Texas Tech now plays in the
Big 12 Conference, but the tradition of having both mascots continues.
Someone said the play Def like UT but not as good offensively
