A play during the 1939 Cotton Bowl Classic between Texas Tech and St. Mary's

The Texas Tech Red Raiders college football team competes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, representing Texas Tech University in the South Division of the Big 12 Conference. Since the team's inaugural season in 1925, Texas Tech has appeared in 33 post-season bowl games. Texas Tech has a rich tradition in bowl appearances, and has a highly enthusiastic fan base, which has set attendance records at many of their bowl games. The Red Raiders' first bowl game appearance set a then-record attendance of 12,000. Since then, nine more bowl games to which Texas Tech has accepted bids have set attendance records. Most recently, the 2009 AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic set an attendance record of 88,175, the second-most-attended bowl game of the 2008–09 bowl game season.

Texas Tech's first post-season bowl game was at the conclusion of the 1937 season, when the Red Raiders played in the 1938 Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas against the West Virginia Mountaineers on New Year's Day. Texas Tech's most recent bowl game appearance, the 2010 Valero Alamo Bowl, occurred on January 2, 2010, when the Red Raiders won the game, 41–31, against the Michigan State Spartans. The game was the team's tenth consecutive bowl appearance. The Red Raiders have an overall bowl record of 11 wins, 21 losses, and 1 tie. Nine of Texas Tech's thirty-three bowl game bids have been to the Sun Bowl, the most appearances by any team to the second-oldest college football bowl game.[A 1] The Red Raiders' thirty-three bowl game appearances are the 4th most by a Big 12 Conference team and along with the Miami Hurricanes and Ole Miss Rebels, the 17th most of any university.
