“We are extremely happy the NFL Network has agreed to broadcast our annual Red-Black spring football game,” Texas Tech Director of Athletics Gerald Myers said. “This broadcast is a reward for the student-athletes and coaches that put in a lot of hard work to prepare for the 2008 season. We are excited to continue our relationship with the NFL Network that started with the 2006 Insight Bowl.”
