CFB media is buzzing as Texas Tech Red Raiders take a shot at Texas

I don’t think you’re typically going to find the chairman of a university’s board of regents who is willing to go out and publicly call out another institution in the same state over comments on a college football schedule. I just don’t think that’s going to be a common sort of occurrence. But that’s exactly what Cody Campbell and the Texas Tech Red Raiders did.

And it’s something that Texas Tech football fans are certainly over the moon about. Texas football fans, on the other hand, aren’t so fond of the Red Raiders or the way that Campbell is taking a shot at the Longhorns. 

To catch everyone up. This all started after Steve Sarkisian took an apparent shot at the Red Raiders and their schedule for the coming season. Joey McGuire and Cody Campbell are now responding and this whole deal is really catching plenty of attention from college football fans (and media members) all over the place.

College football media members react as the Red Raiders take their shot at the Texas Longhorns

A situation like this feels truly rare, to be completely honest. The college football offseason often produces drama, but rarely something like this. Typically it’s just recruiting-related shenanigans. Not a university offering to foot the bill to buy out two early season games to make a matchup happen in the upcoming season.

I can’t think of a comparable situation between schools and university leaders and such. Not off the top of my head, at least. It’s normal for rivalries to warm up a bit and for jokes to be cracked, but something like this? That’s just unique. 

At this point, I think a ton of folks would be all in on the thought of getting to see the Red Raiders and Longhorns face off. I mean, Texas football fans excluded, of course. For the most part, they don't seem as keen about the thought of the Longhorns and Red Raiders facing one another.

Everyone else though? This is great.

And it’s definitely getting college football media members focused in on this situation (which might actually be what the Red Raiders want instead of the situation with Brendan Sorsby and his battle with the NCAA).

Also, apparently Sean Tuohy Jr. wants in on all of this. The athletics director for the ULM Warhawks wouldn’t be upset about his university getting some money to avoid paying the Texas Longhorns in the future.
