Patrick Mahomes “announced” through his t-shirt before yesterday’s game that Texas Tech would be moving from Under Armour to Adidas as the athletic apparel provider. Mahomes is sponsored by adidas and signed with them as he was drafted by the Chiefs. As you may recall, Mahomes was supporting Texas Tech in the Final Four run and had to use a sticker over the Under Armour logo, which is why his t-shirt had a tape-looking logo. We’ll get into what this all means later, but I can say that the Adizero Boston 12’s are fantastic shoes, bought a pair of running shorts as well and the quality was great. Youssouf only wears Adidas cleats for soccer as do most kids it seems. If you need something to do today, go read about how Adidas and Puma are related.

The Lady Raiders will host Northern Arizona for a secret scrimmage on Saturday, October 28th at noon to help benefit the Maui United Way. Tickets are $5.

Texas Tech was part of the Big 12 Media Day last wee and this article discusses how Joe Toussaint, Warren Washington, and Devan Cambridge arrived at Texas Tech. Also, the video was good, an insight into Kellen Buffington.

“One thing that defines these guys and their journey to Texas Tech is that they all genuinely believe in winning and competing for championships,” says McCasland on the jet. “I think they all saw an opportunity here that we had for them and wanted to be a part of something special. That’s why I’m here. That’s why they’re here. These guys care about the game so much that I can see that we are going to be a team that will always be improving throughout the season. They are tremendous teammates and people.”
