Real-Life Waterboy

This is a great story, magnified by the fact he helped Texas Tech upset No. 1 Texas 39-33 Saturday night.
Here's the abbreviated version in haiku form.

Year's free rent for kick
New direction after make
Becomes Red Raider

(A Haggy Haiku)

Speaking of the Red Raiders, how bout that performance? Everyone following college football knows the job Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree have done in Lubbock, Texas. Finally drawing the attention nationally of the networks, people got to see first hand the two in action.
It's pretty apparent Mike Leach's stars are Raymond Babbit ("Rain Man") special.
So is the Tech offensive line. Texas' front four is nasty, yet Harrell had all kinds of time to find his receivers downfield.
Home against No. 9 Oklahoma State next week and at No. 4 Oklahoma the following will provide many viewers more opportunities to see the Red Raiders play. Whether Tech can retain its No. 2 ranking during this upcoming stretch is hard to say.
Watching the Red Raiders play is exciting enough.
