Back to news and notes this morning.

In no particular order, DTN's Top Seven Eight:

1. Pushball is a sport, and has been for a long time
2. Rock M Nation takes a look at Nevada (DTN's has a post scheduled for next week).
3. BC with parts three and four of the series The History of College Football Recruiting and Cheating.

Texas Tech Football:

Fox 34 has a couple of items where I've fallen behind, including the review of the Rice win last year and Fact or Fiction: Will the Texas Tech fans be disappointed with a Cotton Bowl bid.

Texas Tech Basketball:

Texas Tech released the men's basketball out of conference schedule for 2008-2009 and the most interesting games, which were the most interesting games last year, are UTEP, New Mexico and Stanford. I would also guess that this depends on if Texas Tech plays some decent teams in the Legends Classic. Again, nothing really groundbreaking

Fox34 takes a look at the strength and conditioning program of the basketball team.

Texas Tech Track:

The Red Raiders advanced 4 athletes to the finals of the NCAA Championships, including Sally Kipyego, Sandra Iwunze, Ireme Kimaiyo, and D'Andra Carter. Congratulations to all.
