So the boys over at Raiderpower are asking for more Rhonda Lewis - who am I to be a buzzkill? And I'm even gonna toss in some new beauties tonight - just because I care...
Pamela Cameron didn't even WIN Playmate of the 1971 La Ventana! Who was judging that year? Did some guy have a frozen pizza box on his head?
Rhonda - Serious about TDs
The total package
Real life has really messed up the blog - maybe one day we'll have beers and I can tell you what's going on...just bear with me...everything's gonna be okay eventually...
I did notice that some folks had picked up on the pic of Rhonda Lewis...
I happen to be a guy who was born in the 70's, but I think I speak for all of us when I say:
Rhonda Lewis, based on my research, has to be in the top 5 of all-time babes to ever grace Texas Tech's campus...
Both of those images - if you click on them make a larger pic...
Wreck 'em.
Thanks to BearMeat for the pic - we'll handle it from here, thanks.

You should know that before you ever step foot inside Texags that there are no cleaning products made by man that will ever get that dirty feeling off of you.
Also - if you've been living under a rock, the game will air on ABC at 2:30p CDT. If you happen to be outside the primary coverage area (the coverage map will be available sometime later this week - keep an eye out HERE for the link to the coverage map) - EDIT - then you're screwed because now it looks like the "reverse" mirror didn't pan out because it will not be an HD broadcast.
Don't take that as gospel, after all I got the information from a message board.
Sadly, the game will likely not be in HD.
So, let me start the week off right by getting to the heart of the matter. Aggies, we have these:
And you don't.
...I can be sitting here looking at a picture of a Texas Tech cheerleader and think "Wow, that is a great looking woman."
..."I wonder what she would look like in sexy lingerie?"
Then, like magic - I can get on the intertubes and work a little cyber-sleuthing and BAM!!
I'm feeling a bit chubby.
You??
Enjoying Jose Gonzales' newest - "Stay in the Shade" - it's an EP and I wish it were an LP - but nonetheless - it's an excellent listen. If you like excellent guitar playing combined with an easy, soulful voice then you'll love it. If you've never heard of him before, think of a combination of Josh Rouse and Rodrigo y Gabriela.
1970 was a big year for Texas Tech. Texas Technological College went to Austin and after much debating came back with a new name...Texas Tech University. The Seniors that year were the first to graduate from Texas Tech U. In celebration, the fountains in the middle of Memorial Circle were constructed but were not yet finished by the time the Seniors walked the stage.
The Speaker's Series included a young Ralph Nader who was still going toe-to-toe with GM over the Corvair and would attempt a run at the US Presidency in two more years.
The highlight of the year socially may have been a Homecoming concert, though:
I would also encourage you to click on the "interview" page below...it's funny, but not-on-purpose-funny. It's funny because we know how the story turns out. We know the answers to some of the questions...like "Is Chastity going to prefer women's genitalia to penises?" But seriously - the question is asked if they're ever going to do television and they dodge the question, but months later appear on their first TV Special "The Sonny and Cher Nitty Gritty Hour."
Of course you know I'm going to give you the 1970 cover girl - that's why you love me and keep coming back.
Is it just me or are the girls of this era just better looking than I imagined they might be? Wow - Tech's reputation for fine women has a long heritage and is well earned.
There will be another post with much more stuff - I need to wait for another week before all can be revealed.
Let's only say that I was stunned when reviewing this volume - and not only by the charms of the women...it turns out that the reputations of our rivals are also well-earned.
As always, click on the pics for larger images and enjoy. It's our pleasure.
A few months ago one of DiscoTech!'s contributing writers convinced me that I need a new project. After all, I have so much time on my hands...idle hands and all.
What kind of a project? He convinced me to buy about 2 decades worth of Texas Tech"yearbooks" aka "annuals." For those non-Matadors - we call that volume a "La Ventana."
After my initial purchase I have gone on to purchase other volumes with the intent to collect them all - like they're Matchbox cars or something. And yes, Mrs. Moneypenny has thrown around the phrase "Complete waste of money." Whatever, I don't gripe when she spends $85 on "skin clarifier."
Anyhow - I pulled out an annual to show you guys how much fun this is (for me), so now you get to suffer like the rest of the family...
The 1976 La Ventana actually covers the 1975-1976 school year, so the Football team's Gator Bowl season is in a volume I do not yet own (please feel free to e-mail the blog if you have one you want to unload)...
This volume jumped out at me for a couple of reasons not the least of which was this page:
You see President Red Andrews, the Red Raiders had already become predisposed to the enjoyment of Bear Meat as a culinary delight. So much so that we whipped up on Baylor 33-10 that year under first year coach Steve Sloan.
Onward...
This year's annual is also unique in that is is not traditionally bound - it is actually a series of about 14 "magazines" that are held together with two metal binding screws (think of a two ring binder, but much classier...
The Sports are in the magazine "Sports Illustrated" with registered trademark and all...and the Greeks are bound in a magazine that I would have never expected. But, it was 1976 and the sexual revolution was underway...
As fellow contributor Ignatius J. Reilly would say "This is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." There's even a centerfold! She is of course clothed - but is dressed in full Playboy Bunny attire (not to be confused with Turtle or Johnny Drama's bunny attire).
Take that Baylor - Texas Tech was affiliating themselves with Playboy to the extent that they even got Hef's explicit permission to use the bunny logo and magazine header (I'm sure there's real magazine publishing jargon for that) in the University's Yearbook!
I'm still stunned - I don't think there's any way that such a thing would get published in our annual today...but it's still fun to crack on Baylor.
The cover girl above happens to be Annette Jones, a Junior from Fort Worth...she like sewing and whiskey and she just might make your gun go off...
Lastly I found a picture of our Chancellor!
I noted a few things here...
Chancellor Hance maintains wonderful eye contact as any politician should - but I'm quite sure he's a man like any other so the photographer probably held back the photo of Hance checking out this beauty's rack...so I'm quite sure an "A" was reported to the folks back home that semester for Photojournalism 2308.
Also, Hance is sporting the three piece chalk stripe which has returned to the scene...but sadly you can see the carnation on his lapel from Plainview.
Hope you enjoyed our family slideshow...now go tell Aunt Joyce to get me another drink - I'm losing my buzz.
PLEASE NOTE: You can click on any of the pages and make them larger - but the pics may enlarge to a such a size that you may need to adjust to a smaller size...if you want to read the text on the pages it will be sufficiently large enough to accommodate that.
For those of you who were missing a taste of Lubbock...looked to be a pretty day in the Hub City. All it did was rain on my parade yesterday...grrrrr.
I remember fondly sitting on Broadway watching all the lowriders pass by...look...there's a Nova!... Wow! There's a Shriner on one of those insanely small bikes (Is that what those guys do in that big Temple?)
Of course, Lubbock has a scenery that transcends the weather...great lookin' women!
A hearty "Guns Up!" to our newly announced Masked Rider for 2007-2008, Mr. Kevin Smith and his mount, Midnight Matador who has been with us since 2002 - 2003.
So if you get to see him before I do make sure and tell him I loved Chasing Amy but thought Jersey Girl might cause generations of Americans to never watch another moving picture.
Of course it's not that Kevin Smith! Our Kevin hails from Clovis, New Mexico and has quite an impressive resume of equine-related credentials. Linky to ttu.edu.
Thanks to Spotted for the pics! Please visit them often!
