LUBBOCK, Texas (NEWS RELEASE) – The following is news release from Texas Tech Athletics:
Texas Tech students and the Lubbock community are invited to Jones AT&T Stadium Monday evening for “Matador Monday,” which will feature an open practice, preseason pep rally and messages from head football coach Matt Wells and head men’s basketball coach Chris Beard.
