Just a complaint and investigation, but this did occur on December 22. Not necessarily related to yesterday's announcement.

"FOX 34 News has learned that a domestic dispute is reported to have taken place at a Wolfforth home, that according to several sources, is the residence of former Texas Tech football defensive coordinator James Willis.

Wolfforth Police Chief Rick Scott confirms that police were called to a home at 305 North 10th in Wolfforth at 3:15, the morning of December 22."

Not coaching the bowl game. Not announced where he is going, although Florida is a possible landing spot.

Not much love for Texas Tech this year.

After a bunch of injuries hit the Bucs this past week, Brandon Carter was promoted to the 53-man active roster. He will be a backup guard and center for a team in the playoff hunt.

Congratulations to Coach Willis and the Tech defense for this recognition.

UPDATED at 8 pm on 10/6: TexasTech.com schedule - Changed to 2:30 pm start time - Fox Sports Plus (whatever that is)

SECOND UPDATE: As of 9 pm on 10/6, whoever is running texastech.com changed the game back to a 6 pm start time with no TV coverage. Perhaps whomever was editing was premature in their announcement?

There will be a Raider Walk on Saturday in New Mexico for the game against the Lobos. Look for the Raider Walk sign on SW corner of stadium. It will start at 3:45 p.m. (Mountain Time).

Watched the first 30-minute episode of the new Tech show "Raider Power '10" on Fox Sports Southwest last night. It is now available online.

Packers like him and it's a good place for him to develop further this year.

The Texans claimed him off waivers from the Cowboys - so he is part of their 53-man roster. Congratus to Jamar.

ESPN has a 1-hour show on right now entitled "Boys of Fall," written and produced by Kenny Chesney. It is really good - I'm sure it will be on a number of additional times. It is a show about why football is such a special thing in American culture. Lots of interview clips with coaches and former players at all levels.

No Texas Tech love at this point. Got some votes but 37th overall.

Nice article on the Packers' website about Graham and his journey to the NFL.

Green Bay - The Packers signed former Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell after he worked out for the team today.

The Packers don't have to release any players because they have three open roster spots since restricted free agents Tramon Williams, Johnny Jolly and Atari Bigby have not signed.

The Packers now have five quarterbacks on the roster: Aaron Rodgers, Matt Flynn, Chris Pizzotti and Noah Shepard. The Packers could release one to stay at 77 signed players. Undrafted free agent Noah Shepard hasn't been sharp in practice.

Pretty funny.

Leach protégé Riley now the mastermind

I am still not a fan of bleacherreport, but it does give a forum to those who want to write/blog. Since ECU isn't part of SBN yet, this guy seems to be trying to be the blogging voice of ECU. Seems fairly balanced.

Both expected to be fine by August practices.

Too funny.

"Former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach is scheduled to arrive in Stillwater on Tuesday and stay several days to observe the installation of the Oklahoma State offense and give some thoughts and ideas, almost in the role of a consultant."

Since he was already out for remainder of spring not sure it is a big deal. Hope he heals fully and is ready for practice to begin in August.

As reported by the LAJ:

Texas Tech appears likely to play Alabama in the Red Raiders’ 2012 football season opener, Tech athletic director Gerald Myers said Monday.

Myers said ESPN/ABC official Dave Brown "brought us together on this.’’

"We’ve agreed to do it,’’ Myers said. "I think Alabama’s agreed to do it. But we haven’t gotten down to signing a contract or anything like that.’’

The deal would be for one game at a neutral site — in this case, Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Myers said.

"Coach (Tommy) Tuberville is aware of the game and is in support of playing it,’’ Myers said. "I understand (Crimson Tide coach Nick) Saban is also on board for it. We’re in the talking stages, but we haven’t gotten down to talking contract with it yet.’’

The game would be the first weekend of September 2012, Myers said, and would not require Tech to move a game to accommodate a deal with Alabama.

A nationally televised game on ESPN on the Sunday afternoon of Labor Day weekend. Sweet!

LAJ article on violations of NCAA ban against texting recruits and self-imposed penalties. NCAA hasn't ruled yet.

Case didn't settle during today's mediation session.

Lane Kiffin must be one heck of a recruiter.
