If you're settling in for the late game, here's the setup. No. 13 Texas Tech (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) hosts West Virginia (5-3, 2-3) at 8:30 p.m. at Galaxy Stadium, and it's on ESPN. After two straight 11 a.m. kickoffs, your body clock gets a break.

West Virginia wants to run, and Texas Tech knows it. “They’re one of the best offenses in the country, especially running the football,” head coach Joey McGuire said. His plan: “How many tackles for loss can we create to try to keep them behind the sticks?” Defensive coordinator Shiel Wood put it this way about quarterback Michael Hawkins: “we’ve got our hands full.”

Texas Tech's Jamichael Stillwell wins a restraining order and can play Illinois Tuesday

If you follow Red Raider basketball, Tuesday just got more interesting.

EverythingLubbock expects him to start in his Texas Tech debut.

So after selling pumpkins all month, we have received notice from code enforcement warning us we can no longer sell pumpkins without a permit, we are giving away our remaining inventory for free!

“We’re not sure how having the permit makes the pumpkins any less of a nuisance, or who thinks selling pumpkins in your yard is injurious to surrounding properties, but it’s a strange world. Anyway, come get some pumpkins. They’re free!”

The Wrap

Imagine your old school giving you a tour, led by a kid. Wheelock Elementary threw a 75th birthday party Friday, welcoming alumni back to see what the school has become since it opened in 1952. Current students led the guided tours, and they'd practiced with a script. Sounds like a good crowd to learn from.

ElectionsLubbock County's election results ran late after a scanner failed at one early voting siteIf you went to bed Tuesday without final numbers, here's why. Elections Administrator Troy Havard said a machine malfunction at one early voting location was the first sign of trouble. Workers spotted the error Oct. 22 and replaced the machine, but it happened again. The county's release said the scanner's v-drives were unreadable, so Central Count rescanned every paper ballot from that site.
