Nearly 50 new photos.
Emoji Keyboard. Texas Tech released a new GIF and emoji keyboard yesterday, which is great for all of you millenials. I’ll admit that generally speaking I generally can’t interpret what certain emojis mean because I just don’t want to try to figure out what message you’re trying to convey. I get the high-five and the beer emojis and a few others, but I’m pretty limited.
Botros Named CFO. Texas Tech tabbed Jonathan Botros as the CFO yesterday.

Big 12’s All-Time Tight Ends. ESPN’s Max Olson ranks the Big 12’s all-time tight ends and Jace Amaro checks in at #3:
3. Jace Amaro, Texas Tech (2011-13): Amaro found a perfect fit as the over-the-middle threat in Kliff Kingsbury’s offense in 2013 and put together a season so dominant that he had to be high on this list. He caught 106 passes for 1,352 yards, picked up first downs on two-thirds of his catches and scored seven TDs as a junior before entering the NFL draft. Amaro caught eight or more passes in 10 of his 13 games that year. There’s no good reason why the All-American didn’t win the Mackey Award for that performance.
