Tony Bradford's Turkey Giveaway - The Mayor's Final Act

'Round these parts in the South Plains, they call Tony Bradford Jr. the Mayor. Like most monikers, it started as a joke.

This time last year, Bradford believed his time at Texas Tech was ending after four good years as a staple on the defensive line. Joey McGuire had other plans. The then-first-year head coach kickstarted a re-election campaign. The Red Raiders needed their team mayor back for one last season in the red and black. So Bradford took his extra year of eligibility and assumed his title. Lubbock's other mayor, Tray Payne, was okay with sharing.
