ESPN Big 12 blog: Tech takes right risk with Kingsbury (Raider Buzz blog)

The King is coming home.

Kliff Kingsbury threw for 12,429 yards and 95 touchdowns at Texas Tech. A decade later, he has officially become the Red Raiders' new head coach at 33 years old with just five years as a collegiate assistant under his belt.

Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt didn't spend much time dwelling on any hurt feelings he may have felt when Tommy Tuberville skipped town for Cincinnati just a day after looking Hocutt in the eye and telling him he was committed to the Red Raiders.

Tuberville was never embraced in Lubbock, Texas, the way the Pirate of the Plains -- Mike Leach -- was during his decade-long run. His quick exit to a lesser job proved he never embraced Lubbock, either.

The editorial additions to a link are great for once. Basically, it says Kingsbury is awesome, Tuberville stunk it up and even throws in a "Pirate of the Plains" and placed Mike Leach in a positive light.

The Texas Tech and Lubbock earth may actually be spinning on the correct axis for once, and not the axis of evil anymore. SWEET!!!
