From the editor
I think my favorite part of fall is football season. I’m headed up to Texas Tech — WRECK ‘EM — at the end of the month for a football game and I’m so excited. I was going through my masters program at the same time Patrick Mahomes was playing football for Tech. Since then, I’ve been keeping up with his career by tuning into the Kansas City Chiefs games, and of course wearing his jersey.

Where are my Texas Tech alumni at?
