CELEBRATE COTTON: THE NATIONAL COTTON GAME Texas Tech Athletics is proud to partner with the Texas High Plains cotton industry for the “Celebrate Cotton” game on Saturday, Sept. 15, when the Red Raiders host the University of New Mexico Lobos at Jones AT&T Stadium. Gameday festivities will celebrate the cotton industry in West Texas and its deep connections to Texas Tech University. Cotton will be everywhere throughout the game, from displays at Raider Alley and around the stadium to promotions, special graphics and fun cotton facts during the game. Special gameday T-shirts will be distributed (first-come, first-serve!) and cotton bales will line each entrance to the stadium, each with signage talking about what the cotton in that bale can make or how it impacts our economy. Here in the Cotton Capital of the United States, the connections run deep to Texas Tech University. Cotton is represented in the university seal and is studied intensely in research labs across campus. Researchers at Texas Tech most recently made national news during the Gulf oil spill when a cotton product, known as Fibertect, was touted as tool to aid in the disaster cleanup.
