Joey McGuire grabbed a microphone and directly addressed the crowd at Jones AT&T Stadium.
In the middle of the fourth quarter in a tightly contested game against Colorado, Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire grabbed a microphone and directly addressed the crowd at Jones AT&T Stadium on Saturday night."Stop throwing stuff on the field," McGuire said over the loudspeakers. "Students, stop throwing stuff on the field! Please!"Texas Tech fans had been throwing tortillas and other garbage onto the field throughout the game.
Regardless, McGuire would greatly prefer if the tortillas were used to make celebratory postgame burritos instead of ending up in the field of play. McGuire's Red Raiders jumped out to a 13–0 lead over Colorado on Saturday only to see the Buffaloes storm back and take the lead for good early in the third quarter.Tom Dierberger is a staff writer and editor on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
