Texas Tech Bell Ringer A Little Too Into His Job

Those who witnessed last night’s incredible win by Texas Tech over Texas know that you saw one of the great highlights of all time, one that will be watched over and over again by generations to come.

Texas Tech bell ringer

Huh? Who’s Michael Crabtree? I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m talking about that Texas Tech bell-ringing dude going after that thing like he was watching the Leryn Franco photo shoot.

And he’s not the first to go all freaky on that bell, as you will see after the jump.

First, last night’s display of exuberance, captured just after Tech returned an interception for a touchdown:

It’s reminiscent of this classic clip of the ringer going at it during one of Tech’s recent bowl appearances, though this guy got way more face time:

Texas Tech will not be the new #1 this week. Alabama has moved up to that spot in both the AP and USA TODAY polls. The Raiders are #2 and #3, respectively.

Oh, and if you want to see that Crabtree play again, here you go:

    I agree with the Leryn Franco assessment. She rings my bell, too.

    I'd hate to be the one that has to clean out those bells.

    The tongue is what makes the top video so compelling.

    Nice to see the bellringer cheered on by a bunch of Heath Ledger Jokers in the stands.

    Dude, calm down before you have a Texas-sized heart attack.
