Pitts is in his 43rd, and final season, as the on-site producer/engineer for Texas Tech Football radio broadcasts. Suspended announcers Brian Jensen and John Harris also participated in the ceremony.
The Red Raiders and Wildcats will kickoff next Saturday at 11am at Jones AT&T Stadium. Texas Tech is trying to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2017.
The Red Raiders are looking to make it three straight wins against the Mountaineers on Saturday, October 2. Last year, Texas Tech won 34-27 with Henry Colombi throwing and rushing for a touchdown during the win.
Texas Tech and Cincinnati already have a connection, due to former football coach Tommy Tuberville, and that connection should be used to name their new rivalry games.
