Wreck 'Em Tech

Texas A&M hasn’t won at Texas Tech since 1993, or about a year before Aggies pass rusher Von Miller started kindergarten. Brent Zwerneman takes an 21 Tech (5-2, 2-1 Big 12) has owned A.elementary glance back at how No.&M (3-3, 0-2) on the South Plains, with the teams set to mix it up again 6 p.m. Saturday in Lubbock:

1995 - Tech 14, A&M 7: Linebacker Zach Thomas shook off Corey Pullig interception for a touchdown with8a 103-degree fever to return a 30 seconds remaining in the Red Raiders’ victory. Tech snapped a 29-game Southwest Conference unbeaten streak by the No. 8 Aggies and wiped out their chances of a national title.

1997 - Tech 16, A&M: 13: Tony Rogers knocked a 47-yard field goal off the left upright with 19 seconds remaining to ice the Red Raiders’ victory over No. 20 A&M. “We had a tough stretch in October,” Aggies coach R.C. Slocum said afterward. “It will be a real challenge to see if we can come back.” A&M rebounded to win its next four and the Big 12 South title.

1999 - Tech 21, A&M 19: Sammy Morris ran for 170 yards against the nation’s No. 1 rush defense to lead Tech to an upset of No. 5 A&M — again squashing the Aggies’ national title hopes. A&M’s offense failed to score a TD.

2001 - Tech 12, A&M 0: Tech fans shoved a goal post into the A&M fan section following the Red Raiders’ shutout victory, touching off a brief melee in which Gov. Rick Perry’s chief of staff, Mike McKinney, was bloodied by another Aggies fan in the confusion. McKinney, father of Aggies center Seth McKinney and now A&M chancellor, said afterward, “It was like the Alamo. They were coming up over the walls.”

2003 - Tech 59, A&M 28: B.J. Symons threw a Big 12 record eight touchdowns in the Red Raiders’ rout. “This being my only time I’ve stepped on the field against A&M,” the senior Symons said, “I think I made up for lost time.”

2005 - Tech 56, A&M 17: A frustrated A&M defensive tackle Bryce Reed wadded up the tape from his wrists and fired it at a Tech fan afterward — meaning an Aggie had finally hit his target. Tech led only 14-10 at halftime.

2007 - Tech 35, A&M 7: A&M fullback Jorvorskie Lane guaranteed a victory. He was more than four touchdowns off in the Red Raiders’ triumph. Tech’s Mike Crabtree collected 170 receiving yards, as the Red Raiders won their third consecutive blowout over the staggered Aggies in Lubbock.

Let's do it again, Tech!!! Wreck 'Em!!!
