LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech football fans will have the opportunity to meet and greet their favorite Red Raider players and coaches Thursday at Jones AT&T Stadium as members of the 2008 Red Raider football team and staff will be available for autographs and photographs. The autograph session, originally scheduled for Friday, will begin at 7 p.m. on the turf.

A limited number of posters and roster cards will be available, but Tech fans are encouraged to bring their own items to be autographed by members of the team.

"This is something we are really looking forward to," head coach Mike Leach said. "I have always maintained that Texas Tech has the best fans in the Big 12. The players, coaches and I are looking forward to visiting with them Thursday night."

Fans are encouraged to park on the west side of Jones AT&T Stadium and enter the stadium through Gate 1 at the southwest corner.

There will be no admission charge for the event. For additional information, fans should contact the Texas Tech Athletic External Operations Office at (806) 742-1195 or the Athletic Media Relations Office at (806) 742-2770.
