According to the Dallas Morning News.
Tech's athletic department has been talking about doing this for years. The underlying idea is to get a game in front of the Dallas recruiting market, but I always thought it was a bad plan.
Everyone already knows Tech plays second fiddle to Texas, there's no reason to emphasize this by staging a warm-up to the real Texas-OU contest at the State Fair.
There are plenty of colleges (Nebraska, anything in Iowa) that draw plenty of attention without making a traveling circus of themselves. Instead, you give up a home game and have to worry about whether or not you'll even be able to sell out the stadium.
Someone at work remarked that this also takes away from the "greatness that is Texas-OU."
I have to admit I don't care so much about that.
On the other hand, I have a legitimate shot of seeing a Texas Tech game in person in the distant future. So it's not all bad.
