I was looking at the list of Finalists for the “Who is the greatest athlete in Texas Tech history?“. I noticed there were very few names from before the 80’s. Any greatest Tech Athlete list is a joke without some of the old people from “back in the day”. I would put Swoopes as number one because of her huge performance in the National Title Game in 1993. Which remains TTU’s only NC in any team sport. However, I would like to see an Honorable Mention with some of these names on the 30th:
Honorable Mention
EJ Holub FB
Gabe Rivera FB (Tech’s Sack Leader Senior Sack)
Bobby Cavazos FB (Gator Bowl 1953 MVP)
Ronald Ross MBB (Sweet 16 2005)
Erin Grant WBB
