I touched on this possibility in our last “what if”, as I hypothesize that if Michael Brewer had never been injured then Jarrett Stidham would have enrolled at Texas Tech. Let’s assume the highly-touted quarterback prospect never changed his mind and hadn’t enrolled at Baylor. Let’s say he joins Texas Tech for spring practice in […]
What if Michael Brewer Had Never Been Injured in 2013?
I remember the beginning of the Kliff Kingsbury era vividly. I was excited to see what such a great offensive mind could do here in Lubbock, especially with the weapons he had; Kenny Williams and DeAndre Washington in the backfield, Jace Amaro and Eric Ward catching passes, and the heralded Michael Brewer at quarterback. Brewer […]

What if Texas Tech hired Chad Morris instead of Kliff Kingsbury?
So far, we’ve asked what would have happened if Texas Tech had been left out of the Big 12 back in the 1990s or if they’d bolted to the Pac-16 in 2010. We also wondered what might have been if Rich Rodriguez was Spike Dykes’ replacement instead of Mike Leach, as well as if Leach’s […]

What if Texas Tech hired Ruffin McNeill to replace Mike Leach?
One of the more realistic “what if” scenarios we’ll explore is the possibility that Ruffin McNeill could have been hired as Mike Leach’s replacement after The Pirate’s dismissal in late 2009. The way I remember it, there was a sizeable segment of the fan base that wanted McNeill to be promoted to the full-time head […]
What if Texas Tech left for the Pac-16 in 2010?
If you were a fan of college football in 2010, you remember all the noise about the Pac-10 becoming the country’s first “super conference” by adding Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State to form the Pac-16. It almost came to fruition, but Texas ultimately backed out along with all the rest […]
What if Texas Tech hired Rich Rodriguez instead of Mike Leach?
