3 BIG misconceptions. 1) Most people think that we are a small school. 2) All we do is party. 3) Texas Tech is very easy to get accepted to.

Drunks, STD filled, People that couldn't get into A&M or Texas, bad fans.

Basically some of the sterotypes I have heard are were classless in sporting games, we drink all the time, we all have raider rash, anybody can get accepted into Tech, all we do is party.

Everyone's Greek. Everyones a Cowboy. Two Words: Raider Rash.

All the guys are rednecks and all the girls spend daddy's money on clothes and tanning. And all everyone does is drink beer and play football.

We have a reputation for being "country." Not strictly cowboy hat wearing, straw-chewing "country", but roughneck, fighting "country." We're also known for not having much class (hence, us putting cuss words in our own fight song). We are also known for having bad sportsmanship at sporting events. But then again, we're known for having a wealthy student population (west Texas oil) and good looking girls (something in the Texas water). We are also known to be pretty diverse - hippies, frat boys and girls, artsies, and "GDI's."

that Tech is an easy school to get into and that the students here are dumb and theres a problem with STDs

I have heard the stereotype that Texas Tech students have bad sportsmanship when it comes to football games. People also like to talk about how terrible Lubbock is because it's dusty and in the middle of nowhere.

Soem people think that Texa Tech students are a bunch of cowboys and party animals.
