A minor Texas school that thinks its major located out in the BFE that is Lubbock. Surrounded by desert and cotton feilds Texas Tech is a an oasis for those that were denied admission to either the big orange school or Texas A&M University. May be a major source of STD's.
The anger tceh fans and students display is based on the lack of self esteem of being rejected by the two Major universities in Texas. If tcehsters had any brains they'd of gone to a major university rather than their second choice or some cases third choice.

A glorified community college out in the middle of Lubbock, which is out in the middle of nowhere and is full of strip malls. The students are all ill-mannered, rowdy and they love to drive drunk. They think this means they are a great party school because rednecks plus cheap beer = great party in Lubbock, TX. Most Tech students are in rehab within 2 years of graduation. If the idea of blowing people away with attending the Harvard of the Panhandle and majoring in Leisure Management and then getting a job managing a Costco appeals to you, then shoot for Tech! It has 4 different mascots and copies anything it can from other schools. Likes to pretend it's a major university and that UT is a rival, but that obviously isn't true. Leave Texas and nobody has heard of Tech, plus it's only rivals are sucky schools like A&M, A&M...who also likes to pretend it's a top school and that UT is a rival, despite every college ranking ever published showing it's a third rate farmer school. But at least Tech doesn't have a fake army that salutes a dog, I'll give them that. Lots of upper middle and just middle class kids from the metroplex who couldn't get into UT go to Tech, along with West-Texas-educated (that's an oxymoron) oil patch seesaw playing, cattle humping redneck offspring who are the first person in their family to go to college. You have to drive practically outside the city to get booze, which is odd, because Tech students are all drunks - but they have to live in Lubbock, so who can blame them. They have to stay drunk in order to stop themselves from committing suicide because Lubbock SUCKS. Gotta give the school props for having it's very own STD - Raider Rash. The girls who go to school at Tech are pretty, why they're pretty enough to be in Playboy magazine, which is every classy girl's dream come true. Playboy always goes to Tech when they want a spread (no pun intended) about college skanks. Those Tech tramps are more than willing to pose nude with an elegant Red Raider plushie or Tech banner. So pretty.
Did you see that bleach-blonde ho spread eagled in Playboy doing the 'guns up' sign? She graduated from Texas Tech and had to retire from her "career" because of Raider Rash.

One who masturbates incessantly and with a passion. The term originated from the infamous video, shown live on ESPN, of a Texas Tech freshman ringing the team's bell during a game. Unfortunate camera angles made it look as if he was behind the bell jacking off furiously.

Texas Tech University is located in Lubbock, TX. Some will say their rival is the University of Texas or Texas A&M. However, their true rival is Oklahoma State University. It's just fun to beat UT, and you can't call Texas A&M a rival if they never win. School colors are black and scarlet red. School mascot is the Red Raider; a masked Zoro type character that rides a black stallion. Texas Tech has many programs of study, undergraduates and professional students. The Texas Tech Red Raiders are members of the Big 12 Conference (South Division) and compete in Division I for all varsity sports. The Red Raiders football team has made 32 bowl appearances, which is 19th most of any university. It's current enrollment is just over 28,000 students. McDougal Development has headed a massive urban renewal program in Lubbock (largest in the country) building new living quarters, apartments, condos etc for the students of Texas Tech University not living in dormitories over a 727 acre span.
A wide variety of students can be found at Texas Tech. Currently the Hispanic enrollment at Texas Tech is #1 at 43%. Caucasian/white is at 40% being second.
There is nothing 3rd rate about this school except where it is located. Lubbock, TX isn't the greatest place if your moving say from any Liberal based larger city. Lubbock, TX is highly conservative and has more churches and banks per population than Vatican City ( im just saying that but i think its 2nd -or in the top 5- in the country ). The county in which Lubbock resides is a dry county, so no liquor sales inside the city limits. This however may change in spring of 2009, being petitioned by the majority of the population. Enough signatures were obtained to warrant a vote.
Enrollment at Texas Tech is growing steadily. Within the passed 8 years it has broken its highest enrollment records twice. However, state funding for Texas Tech is lower than most other states. This is not a Texas Tech factor, but rather a State of Texas factor being that all state funded schools in Texas do no receive adequate funding compared to many other States in the USA.

Texas Tech University is the seventh (7) largest University in Texas.
Texas Tech University is huge in physical size, being second in the nation.
You can never find a parking spot at Texas Tech University.

One of the premier schools in Texas, and part of the Big 12. Well-known for its academics and athletics team. Texas Tech is located outside of Lubbock, Texas, farther north then the other major Texas universities. Also well known for attempting to join the Texas A&M-UT rivalry and claiming dominance in sports, athletics and general attractiveness of the student population, while truly possessing second-rate academics and an extremely glorified football team. While still a good school, Tech is mostly populated by students who failed to get into A&M or UT and still seek to attend a Texas school.
University of Texas Graduate: I managed to get 5 job offers from major companies!
Texas A&M Graduate: Same here!
Texas Tech University Graduate: Not me, I didn't get any because everyone knows my degree is bullshit
