  Redraider for Texas Tech University

  They are the sports warriors of the Texas Tech University who have been fought many victorious battles in the name of their alma mater. The team’s first foray into inter-college football was in 1925, and, although the match against McMurry University ended in a tie, the Red Raiders have never looked back since. Every member of the team has worked hard to make the Red Raiders one of the best sports team today.

  The team also happens to be an active and victorious Big 12 Conference member. The Big 12 conference started out as the Division I Bowl Subdivision of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). And they beat all odds by stealing victory from the jaws of defeat every single time. Coach Mike Leach made sure the team bagged 11 conference titles and is still going strong.

  One of the biggest strengths of the Texas Tech Red Raiders is its consistent performance in each and every game.

  There are no inane apologies for losing a game or for performing below par. They are on a winning streak; only, the winning streak doesn’ t seem to be ending anytime soon. The other Big 12 Conference members have been doing their best to dislodge the Red Raiders, and if they haven’ t succeeded, it’s not for want of trying.

  The Red Raiders home games are usually hosted at the AT&T stadium located in Lubbock, Texas. The team has bagged the fifth place in several consecutive national level games of the Big 12 conference. In July 2007, ESPN evaluated 119 FBS conferences held between 1997 and 2006 and placed the Red Raiders at position number 32.

  And that’s largely because the Texas Tech University warriors have an unbeaten string of 56 wins from 2000 to 2006. In fact, there were no other winners in these game seasons except Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas. The Red Raiders are not just any other college football team ? they have passionate fans all over the world who have established online forums to talk about the team and its performance. Now if that’s not evidence of popularity, I don’t know what is!

  The Texas Tech raiders have the solid support of marketing campaigns that are hosted to boost the team’s performance. You’ll find several magazines featuring write-ups on the team’s mind-blowing game strategies as well as the performance of individual players. And that’s all because the Red Raiders play like a well-oiled machine that has been guaranteed to produce victories almost since it came into existence.

  Most Confusing Tech Predictions Ever

  All of the following people are well-known inventors, intelligent technology experts, successful businessmen. They are good at forecasting, however, sometimes their predictions are considered to go bust. Have you ever imagined that Christmas in 2006 was celebrated without iPod, no more in-house computer in 1977, or messenger boy could replace all telephones in the world? Ten claims below are made public at different time, but they all make us confused and raises highly disputes. What is the true meaning imbedded in those messages or are they totally just irrational predictions in technology history?

  Ken Olsen, the founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977, ever said: “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home”. Did he mean public computer would be preferred?

  Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell, was decisive that Apple would be dead in 1997.

  “Television won’t be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night.”, declared Daryl Zanuck, co-founder of Twentieth Century Pictures in 1946.

  “No one will need more than 637 kb of memory for a personal computer—640K ought to be enough for anybody,” Bill Gates’s confusing statement in 1981. It’s claimed to be out of context and may be true at that time.

  “Almost all of the many predictions now being made about 1996 hinge on the Internet’s continuing exponential growth. But I predict the Internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse.” Prediction in late 1995 from Robert Metcalfe, an electrical engineer from the United States who co-invented Ethernet and founded 3Com.

  “The Americans have need of the telephone, but we do not. We have plenty of messenger boys.” said a Welsh electrical engineer and inventor, William Preece in 1878.

  “Next Christmas, the iPod will be dead, finished, gone, kaput.” said British entrepreneur Alan Sugar in 2005.
