The article is a bit thin. I'd like to bulk it up. The Red Raiders have a long, rich history so it shouldn't be difficult to come up with some good info. -- Wordbuilder 04:21, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
If no one objects, I'm going to significantly shorten the portion about the mascots, which is the bulk of the article. Wikipedia already has articles on both The Masked Rider and Raider Red so I'll link to those. -- Wordbuilder 13:17, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
I made small addition concerning the November 1st 2008 football game, it would be great if others could expand upon that. Bladezor ( talk) 12:43, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
We need something for these two sports. I'd be happy to write it if someone will point me in the direction of some good info. That goes for any of the other sports, too. -- Wordbuilder 19:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone have a good photo of Bob Knight either wearing Texas Tech attire or clearly at TTU?
We still need photos of
Mike Leach,
Kristy Curry, and other coaches. →

I was wondering if we should change Tech's main rival to just A&M? The general consensus at Tech is that A&M is our biggest rival, with UT and OU a close second and third respectively. Almosthonest06 ( talk) 02:46, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm not real high on the layout of this page. Mainly, I hate the fact that the first thing beneath the table of contents is the little bullet list of sports. It makes the page look kinda bare. Any ideas on how we could reorganize this to make it look better? I was looking at putting some sort of table for the sports that could be right-aligned or something. What do you think?-- Elred ( talk) 04:10, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
I think we need to add a 'history' section. I think Michigan State Spartans is a pretty good template for us to use. I don't think this should be that difficult. In many ways the athletic article should be easier to compile than the main university article was.-- Elred ( talk) 22:12, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
It's not just the women's basketball team that uses "Lady Raiders". For instance, track & field and golf. However soccer and softball use "Red Raiders". On cursory look, it appears that "Lady Raiders" is used when there is a men's team in the same sport; otherwise "Red Raiders" is used even by the women. → Wordbuilder ( talk) 00:06, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
It feels like we have a sea of navboxes at the bottom of this page. I think we should possibly remove the university one, and the ones for the individual sports. Those can go on the page for each sport. Otherwise we should probably nest them or something. What do you think?-- Elred ( talk) 02:57, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Raiderred.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

This article has been nominated for Version 0.7 of the offline Wikipedia release but did not meet the standards for importance. It has been put on Wikipedia:Release_Version_Nominations/Held_nominations for further review. Please see that page for details.
Unfortunately, this article doesn't rank highly enough in importance to be included in Version 0.7, which is limited to the top 1% articles on Wikipedia. If the article were an FA, we could probably justify including it, but as a C-Class article it's hard to make a strong case. Thanks for the nomination, Walkerma ( talk) 07:00, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm trying to gauge the interested in created a Big 12 WikiProject and wondering who would like to be involved. There are already pages for WikiProject Big Ten and WikiProject ACC. A Big 12 project would cover the schools themselves and anything to do with conference sports including: events, rivalries, teams, seasons, championships and lore. There is already quite a bit of activity here on Wikipedia regarding the Big 12, and I think a project could help coordinate and unify our efforts. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Big 12 if you are interested, and add your name to the list. Grey Wanderer ( talk) 00:31, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
All of the Texas Tech women's teams are the Lady Raiders not Red Raiders. Shouldn't this article either be only about the men's sports and women's on a seperate page? Louisiana Tech's athletics article seems to have the right idea. Their article has both names in the article's title: Bulldogs and Lady Techsters. Only having Red Raiders discredits the women's program. RedRaider04 ( talk) 22:17, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Oppose. There currently isn't enough information in this section to warrant splitting it into its own article. Even as a stub, its notability would be tenuous. → Wordbuilder ( talk) 20:44, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Texas Tech Red Raiders's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Texas Tech Red Raiders and Lady Raiders →
Texas Tech Red Raiders – As others universities have been doing the past few years, Texas Tech has been moving towards dropping the "Lady Raiders" moniker from the nickname of its women's sports with the main use for the women's
basketball team (like
Tennessee).
Women's tennis is the only other women's sport to use "Lady" in their nickname. The NCAA has been using Red Raiders for women's sports since
2012. Other schools have been using "Red Raiders" for the TTU women's games notes, and the list goes on. It is also pretty evident based on the Wikipedia articles for the school's women's sports... only the women's basketball team uses "Lady" in the article title.

How many national championships have Texas Tech teams won? The article says 4 in the lead paragraph, but I only saw the one Women's Basketball title on the list. (If they win the NCAA MBB title on 4-8-19, then the argument will be 2 vs 5) Thanks in advance 108.217.190.154 ( talk) 19:52, 7 April 2019 (UTC)ES
