I Heart Trlica

We had some friends over this afternoon to watch the Texas Tech vs. Virginia bowl game. We were excited and then nervous and then frustrated and then excited again. Then, it all came down to a field goal. Our bowl success rested on the 12 of 20 leg of Alex Trlica.

Marcus nervously waited for the ball to be snapped.

Then, poor Ryan watches scared that Trlica will fail us.










Finally, with glee Marcus exclaims, "IT IS GOOD!" Please ignore the hole in Marcus' shirt. I'd like to think it ripped when he jumped for joy. We'll be washing our cars with this red TTU shirt soon :)

In honor of Trlica's big kick, we decided to name a few things in his honor....

Texas Tech University is now Trlica Tech. TTU is now located in Trlica, Texas. It can be found via Trlica Highway. The kicker is often a lonely underrated position and we think Trlica is due some respect.

Happy Trlica Year to all Red Raider fans!

Is that a hole in Marcus's tee? :)

it was a really good game, I was nervous you were not going to pull it off. I could not believe I was rooting for your Red Raiders, but the guy being carted off the field with his guns up was quite moving!!
