In fact, as we "speak" 5 weeks from this moment the Red Raiders should be into about the second or third inning of their opener against Missouri State.

Despite several media outlets stating it to be a fact, Texas Tech baseball coach Dan Spencer still would not confirm Thursday reports that former Red Raider and Oklahoma assistant Tim Tadlock has been hired as the program’s new assistant coach.

We’re in a position where we’re trying to dot the Is and cross the Ts, so I can’t yet. I’ll feel more comfortable when the powers that be tell me we’re good there.”
