I love this team I love these fans Tech to the WCWS

@sportsiren 90% of UF's players transferred in as well Holly and you never made a big deal about that. Nor the money they spent. Only yapped about what Tech spent.

@gwilkie80 @ILuvitTexasTech @sportsiren

I'm such a @sportsiren Holly Rowe fan but I agree with Chris on this. In football Texas Tech spends less on their roster than Texas and several SEC teams yet all anyone talks about is TT "buying players". Now I'm seeing the same double-standard in softball when anyone affiliated with the sport should be thrilled that a major university is investing so heavily in their program -- especially in today's 'football-only' culture. Texas Tech should be applauded instead of having people throwing shade their way simply because they are going all in and winning. For years in football the bluebloods of the sport used bagmen to help build their rosters under the table. Now that comping players and NIL are legal the bluebloods of the sport can't stand having to play by the same rules as everyone else. Softball clearly has a little bit of that same blueblood arrogance, and the @GatorsSB softball team should be embarrassed for the "sore loser" mentality they displayed after the game today. No one faults these young ladies for being disappointed, but refusing to shake hands only reflects poorly on the University of Florida. Furthermore, @bethmowins ought to be relegated to high school sports for sharing in this arrogance during the broadcast. I'm a Michigan State alum, and like Texas Tech we've historically been chasing the bluebloods in our conference and nationally. The more success I see from Texas Tech the more I hope MSU's distinguished alumni are watching and learning from them so maybe we can join them as one of the "new bloods". In the meantime, here's a message for Beth Mowins and/or anyone else covering Tx Tech's games going forward: if you're not going to discuss how much Texas, Florida, or Ohio State are paying for their rosters then kindly STFU about how much Texas Tech is spending. Congrats to @TexasTechSB and good luck in the @WCWSsoftball ! #WCWS #RedRaiders #Gators #ESPN @espn #NCAA #softball

@hbu_sybau @EverythingGata That narrative doesn’t fit for ESPN

@EverythingGata *whispers* we didn’t even spend the most this season

Congratulations on spending the most money in softball history on a roster. I’ll be back when you get knocked out the WCWS.

@Ch0mpEm Whose coach got kicked out?

It’s so funny how TTU is trying to play the victim card and say UF Softball is classless after yelling profanities all game long. Your dugout had the sportsmanship warning, not us. #Next

Run ruled at home in the super regionals when you talked all that shit 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@EverythingGata @CoachBeansTTU

I didn’t even know TTU had fans on twitter until today. Losers 😂

@tyeckring12 We should’ve met at WCWS but shady seeding pitted us against each other

-We lost to a team that was the 2nd favorite to win the entire thing pre tourney. -They probably spend 5X us - Our coach has been to 6 of the last 8 WCWS Everyone needs to just take a deep breathe w/ some of the takes.

@tyeckring12 Sore loser

I don’t care who wins the WCWS as long as TTU doesn’t win.

LMAO FLORIDA REFUSED TO SHAKE HANDS AFTER BEING RUN-RULED AT HOME IN GAME 3 VS TEXAS TECH

Florida REFUSING to shake hands after the game…. Stay classy SEC, stay classy

Let’s go win it all! 💪🏽 @TexasTechSB

@AndresR030105 You mean the Florida Gators have a classless organization and got exposed today.

@AndresR030105 Yea, this was ugly indeed. Are you going to call this out or tuck your tail between your legs?

@AndresR030105 Did you happen to see how the Florida fans directly behind home plate were acting the entire game? Texas Tech players were responding to what was coming from Florida fans the whole series. They were also standing up for their teammate who was hit FIVE TIMES.

@AndresR030105 Florida fans were nasty all weekend! Losing shows your true character

An ugly scene at the end of the game. Texas Tech starts talking to the fans and making hand gestures and the teams do not shake hands. Keagan Rothrock’s dad, Greg Rothrock, was seen getting berated by a Red Raider fan at the end of the game as well.

It's great to be a Texas Tech Red Raider!

HOW WE FEELING LUBBOCK!!!!!

TEXAS TECH IS HEADED BACK TO OKC 🤩 (3) @TexasTechSB defeats (2) Florida, 16-7 (5 inn.), to advance to their 2nd #WCWS! #RoadToWCWS
