Texas has made it clear it understands there will be extra motivation to beat them this year as they prepare to depart for the SEC after the 2023 college football season.

BIG 12 COMMISSIONER TELLS TEXAS TECH HEAD COACH HE’D ‘BETTER TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS’ AGAINST LONGHORNS Speaking last week at the Red Raider Club kickoff luncheon in Lubbock, Texas, Yormark had a message for Texas Tech head football coach Joey McGuire. "Coach [McGuire], I'm not going to put any pressure on you, but I'm gonna be in Austin for Thanksgiving.

And you'd better take care of business like you did right here in Lubbock last year," Yormark said. Sarkisian was asked about Yormark’s comments on Monday and the Texas head coach joked that the reporter was trying to get him in trouble.
