Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury gives new politically correct name to old trick play (VIDEO)

With a three-point lead and the clock winding down in the fourth quarter of Thursday's game, Texas Tech looked as if it was about to take a knee against Texas for their first win in Austin since 1997.

But they didn't.

Showing how much the Red Raiders wanted this victory, they executed a trick play by deceiving the Longhorns with a misdirection call insensitively known as Hide the Midget.


Watch below as 5'7, 168-pound Jakeem Grant takes off for the end zone after lining up inconspicuously behind the O-line. The undersized wide receiver ran it in for a 40-yard touchdown, helping to extend the Red Raiders' lead to 48-38.


Afterwards, Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury offered up a new politically correct name for the play by calling it “Little People, Big World.” 


And if you thought Kingsbury's LPBW call ran up the score or was a d-bag move in the first place, know that Texas scored on the ensuing drive to cut the lead to 48-45.

PC police happy all around.

Texas Tech cheerleader under fire for big game hunting (PHOTOS)

Animal rights activists are up in arms about a Texas Tech University cheerleader's African hunting trips that she had publicized on Facebook.

The photos of Kendall Jones posing proudly beside the big game carcasses caused an uproar and forced the social media outlet to delete the trophy shots showing the 19-year-old next to elephants, lions, leopards and rhinos shot or tranquilized by her.



The Texas native has been uploading these controversial pictures to Facebook to promote her hunting career and hopes to host a TV show on hunting.

Facebook removed some of the images  after more than a quarter of a million animal lovers signed a petition urging CEO Mark Zuckerberg to take down the photos because they encourage poaching.

"I'd love to drop kick you into a lions’ den, see how you do without your gun," someone commented on a picture of her smiling over the body of a leopard she just killed.

Jones, however, views herself as a conservationist and argues that hunting rare animals actually protects wildlife and is a good way to ensure their survival.

"Hunters are the biggest conservationists there are," she said. "We want animal populations to grow and thrive!"



According to Jones, whose family raises exotic animals, these rare beasts' value to hunters is the incentive for animal keepers to maintain the population.

"This is a conservation effort to assure [sic] that they never do become extinct," claims the marketing and sports therapy major.


The Big 12 sophomore first traveled to Africa to start hunting the Big Five — African lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, African leopard and African rhino — with her father when she was 13. She said the family pays the local government a fee which allows them to track and shoot big game.

Her first kill was reportedly a rare white rhino.

Gimme a T! Gimme an E! Gimme an X! Aw dang it ... just gimme a .416 Remington.

Kansas State player high-fives invisible teammates between free throws (VIDEO)

Kansas State's Wesley Iwundu was at the line for a couple of technical free throws against Texas Tech Tuesday night, so there were no teammates on the lines to high-five between shots. That didn't stop Iwundu from looking for a little love anyway.



Maybe Iwwundu's imaginary teammates can get together with Tom Brady's real pals and high-five each other.
