With a series of firsts for the Red Raiders, the town is truly upside down.
Saturday night, the Red Raiders breaking records, rankings, and Longhorn hearts. Seconds after the win...the green field at the Jones was a mass of black and red.
"It was just pandemonium."
That pandemonium continued through the night, and into today. Last week, Red Raider Outfitter's owner Stephen Spiegelberg showed us their shirts to blackout the stands. Sunday afternoon, he showed us empty shelves where the new victory shirts have sold out.
"We actually took a risk on it and had 500 shirts for 500 wins, I figured that was a good number to roll the dice on so we had a 500 win shirt today when we opened for the public and they were gone in less than an hour."
Now, they're overnighting shipments of the 500th win shirts...all the while prepping for the next game.
"It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable for the city...it's great for us. If they continue to win it's just going to get better. Oklahoma State is next and we're bracing for them and we turn our attention to Oklahoma State next."
From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like Tech or their fans will lose any momentum, any time soon.
