I, for one, think it’s great to see Texas Tech legends support impressive Texas Tech accomplishments. I, for one, also think it’s good for Texas Tech (as a brand and an institution) for one of the greatest Red Raiders ever to publicly show support for one of the most exciting runs in Texas Tech softball history.
I say all of that to say that it’s great to see Patrick Mahomes, a Super Bowl champion and legendary Red Raider quarterback who is currently one of the best players in the entirety of the NFL, showcasing his support for a Texas Tech softball team that is on a tear right now.
As the Red Raiders battled the Ole Miss Rebels during a fascinating pitchers’ duel in game three of the 2025 Women’s College World Series, Mahomes made it clear that he was rooting for his alma mater. Which, you know, you kind of expect, but it’s just always good to see. Especially from a Texas Tech legend like Mahomes.
Patrick Mahomes cheers on Texas Tech softball as Red Raiders shutout Ole Miss Rebels in Women’s College World Series
Here’s what Mahomes had to say on social media during Texas Tech’s 1-0 win over the Ole Miss Rebels:
Not everyone properly appreciates a good, intriguing pitchers’ duel, but this game was truly fun to watch. Maybe it’s because I love low-scoring softball and baseball games and I love seeing the dominant efforts that pitchers like NiJaree Canady are capable of. I don’t know.
What I do know is that Mahomes sure seemed rather emotionally invested in this game and the way that the Red Raiders were performing against Ole Miss in Oklahoma City. And again, for Mahomes to throw his support behind Texas Tech in such a public way? Well, that’s just a good thing for everyone involved.
And of course it certainly is a good thing for Texas Tech to be able to come away with a shutout win in its first Women’s College World Series appearance ever. That never hurts.
