Remember the good ol' days where we'd line up hours and hours before the football games to ensure we'd get a seat in the student section? Well, the tradition continues in what is now called Raiderville! With ESPN coming to Lubbock to host this Saturday's match-up the game hype is at its highest. Students began camping out in the engineering key last night to make sure they aren't left out come Saturday night. Read more about this story and see pictures of Raiderville here:

Watch out Kansas!
Well, we may have moved down a spot in the rankings which now put us at No.8 but we're still on a winning streak and fighting hard. Let's keep the Raider Power going strong by meeting up at The Foundry this Saturday, October 25 at 11am.
Heads Up! Chris and Natalie Johnson have invited us over to their home for the UT game and chili dinner. Their address and contact number will be emailed to you. Because Nat and Chris are in the process of moving, furniture is limited. So, please bring your own folding chair or something to sit on!
An evite will be going out today with details regarding the November 15th holiday dinner. There is not a game that Saturday. We will be having a raffle for the new 2008 Texas Tech Christmas ornament!

October 13th Updates
Well, if you're heart wasn't pounding after the last game with Nebraska I have to wonder if you're a Red Raider after all! What a clincher! By the skin of their teeth, the Red Raiders were able to pull a win over the Huskers 37-31 in overtime. Let's hope this weeks game against the Aggies goes much smoother. The AP poll has us ranked at No. 7 and the Aggies stand at... wait, they're not ranked. Regardless, the Raiders better tighten up the bootstraps and not rest on their laurels with this game. After the Aggies we head into a tough 4 week string of games with Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. Meet us up at the Foundry this Saturday to watch the Aggies! Let me know if you're coming.
The holidays are here and we would like to invite you to attend a holiday gathering of Red Raiders at the home of alumni Elizabeth Breese and her husband, David. This will happen on November 15Th beginning at 5pm. The Breeses and Wieses (how cute is that!) would love it if you could RSVP by November 1st so we can determine the best method of feeding the masses. We will also be doing a name drawing for the new 2008 Texas Tech Christmas ornament! More info to come soon.

Calling All Red Raiders!
So, you're a lonesome Red Raider looking for fellow alums? You've come to the right place! We are the Red Raider Chapter of the Chicago Western Suburbs and we want you to join us for game watching parties and socials.
My name is Stephanie and I am the Chapter President. As it stands, no other officers have been elected... but I'll keep my eye out for some outstanding Red Raiders to help me out. There is also a Tech Chapter in Chicago proper headed up by Brad Davis.
I have been in contact with 10 of the other 11 Big XII Chapter presidents in our area (I'm still waiting on the Baylor Bears to speak up) but they have all been open to joining us at The Foundry in Aurora when we play their teams. Additionally, as a Big XII group we can opt to participate in the Big XII Annual dinner Boat Cruise and other socials.
So, its a start... but we sure are off to a good one!
