Where does Texas Tech go from here?

It’s never easy losing your head coach in the middle of the season, but after what transpired on Saturday against Kansas State, it’s understandable why the school felt it was time for a change. Sonny Cumbie will now have the opportunity to interview for the job in the next four weeks. The list of candidates include former Texas assistant Jeff Traylor and the son of Texas Tech coaching legend, Sonny Dykes.

As far as the product on the field, the team still has an opportunity to get to the postseason, although the task is tall. Tech has Oklahoma, Iowa State, Baylor, and Oklahoma State remaining on the schedule. They are playing with house money, can they do the unthinkable and pull off an upset?

Rumors surrounding TCU running back Zach Evans

Rumors continue to circulate on social media regarding Zach Evans future with the TCU Horned Frogs. Most of the speculation has centered around the star running back potentially leaving the program, but Dallas Morning News’ Drew Davison rebutted those rumors by stating Evans was at practice yesterday and “all is good.”

However, Evans removed any sign of TCU from his Instagram page on Wednesday. This is shaping up to be a situation worth monitoring.

No fine will be issued for Iowa State after fans stormed the field

Iowa State fans celebrated the Oklahoma State victory by storming the field at Jack Trice Stadium last week. According to Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, the school will not be fined or reprimanded.

I have concluded my review of the field storming incident that occurred at the conclusion of Saturday’s Oklahoma State at Iowa State football game.  Although no action by the Conference is being taken, I am using this opportunity to express my concern that, although improvements have been made, more needs to be done to ensure a safer exit from the field for the opposing team and game officials.

I know that the ISU administration is committed to providing the safest possible environment. I strongly urge that this experience be used to further consider steps that may be taken to ensure safety for all concerned.
