This should put an end to any confusion as to where pirate aficionado Mike Leach is to park when he's at the Texas Tech training facility. His parking spot got a makeover this week and now sports a pirate motif. Red Raider officials sent out the images Wednesday on their Twitter feed. Two more images after the jump.
Texas Tech and Texas don't play until Sept. 19 in Austin, but Red Raider fans want the world to know which team to cheer for. Thanks to Tom Kirkendall of Houston's Clear Thinkers.
The Red Raiders get an early Big 12 test with a Sept. 19 game at Texas. That game was scheduled for Nov. 7 but was moved so it could be broadcast nationally. It could be a tough spot for Mike Leach's team, which is replacing quarterback Graham Harrell and receiver Michael Crabtree, stars of the Red Raiders' 39-33 victory over the Longhorns last season. That was the highest-rated broadcast of the 2008 regular season on ABC and fourth-highest in the network's history of covering college football. Thanks to Paige! Poster designed by Jared Stanley.
