Chris Beard has fond memories of his time at Texas Tech. Red Raiders fans feel betrayed by the coach who left Lubbock last year for their most-hated rival. Beard returns Tuesday night with his first visit as head coach of 23rd-ranked Texas, his alma mater. The game has been sold out for more than a month. Texas Tech students were already camped out Saturday, even before the 14th-ranked Red Raiders finished their last game. The teams have identical 16-5 records. Beard was Tech’s head coach for five seasons, and led to them to the national championship game three years ago.
