SAN DIEGO, CALIF. -
Bowl week has officially begun for the Red Raider Football team as the squad and official party arrived in San Diego earlier today. Texas Tech will take on the fourth-ranked California Golden Bears on Thursday, Dec. 30 in the 2004 Pacific Life Holiday Bowl.
Texas Tech arrived in San Diego in two waves today as the official party landed shortly after 11 a.m. while the team touched down around 3:15 p.m. Both planes were greeted by members of the Holiday Bowl Committee.
Texas Tech will attend a team barbeque tonight before heading to the practice field for a short walk-through.
"It was about 5 degrees when the first plane left today and about 16 when we took off so it is very nice to get to this warm weather," said senior defensive end Adell Duckett. "From what I see so far, San Diego looks like a beautiful place. However, we are here to win a bowl game and that is where our focus will be."
