Tech receiver gets shot with hometown team

Darrin Moore was shocked and disappointed when his cell phone remained silent through the final afternoon of the NFL draft and into the evening. Not even a ring? “Not even a ring,” the former Texas Tech wide receiver said. Moore’s still not sure if he was simply deemed not good enough by NFL teams or if maybe he was a victim of bad timing. On Thursday night, hours after he accepted a minicamp invitation from the Dallas Cowboys — which he’s thrilled with, by the way — he wondered if he’d missed a shot with another team five days before.

Fox, Tech all-America cornerback, dies at 65 05/01/13 - 12:35am

Stroke claims late 1960s Red Raider star

Even before he arrived at Texas Tech, Denton Fox had had a brush with greatness, appearing briefly in the Paul Newman classic “Hud.” Not long after, Fox became a Red Raider and set about achieving greatness in his own right. A 6-foot-3, 200-pound cornerback in an era of not-so-outsized players, Fox became a first-team all-American in 1969 — only the sixth Tech football player to be so honored. Once a hard-hitting, ball-hawking defensive back, Fox was felled in recent years by a series of strokes. He died Monday at age 65, his wife Sara Beth Fox said. He lived in Richardson.
