Guys*. A lot gets said about Cody Campbell as he's the founder of the Red Raider Collective and founder of Double Eagle, which has sold substantially all of its assets for somewhere between $4-6B (don't make me look it up, I have to sort through enough filings). But in this case, it is actually his high school friend and teammate, fellow TTU alum, and co-founder and co-CEO at Double Eagle, John Sellers, who made it happen. John's wife Tracy was a pitcher at Texas Tech, and with wealth equal to Cody Campbell, a million bucks isn't a sweat.

What gets me is that Lubbock is an absolute barren wasteland of a place to reside.

While I’m rooting for Texas Tech, I’m glad they didn’t win 1-0 cause of that garbage obstruction rule. The NCAA needs to desperately change that rule and train their replay officials how to judge it cause the rule is applied so inconsistently.

Agree about the 1st inning & especially the "obstruction" rule. The ruling in the baseball game involving the Ducks was particularly egregious, according to the report from the NCAA, if Aroz had conceded, just basically stopped before reaching the plate, he would have scored, because of the obstruction rule. Because, (inner Pete Rose perhaps) he went for it he was called for malicious contact & suspended. In the softball game, the runner was "out by a mile", but no. In softball, Leschar was called out because of the bizarre contact ruling, her foot was in contact with the base up to the time the ball left the pitcher's hand, but it had been off seconds before. I don't know how a base is going to be stolen in baseball now.
Go Texas Tech.

Another really good, close game. Worst part of it was just that it made me miss the NBA Finals Game 1, which was apparently a heck of an ending.
