"The rowdy scene at Jones AT&T Stadium led to a postgame dust-up between Leipold and Red Raiders coach Joey McGuire with Leipold chastising McGuire for the fans' behavior. In postgame video, McGuire can be seen telling Leipold, "Coach, I can't do anything about it. You want me to do something [expletive] about it?" In postgame comments, Leipold complained that the officials should have done more to stop the fans from throwing things,"
""A pocket knife was thrown and hit one of our staff members," Leipold said after the game. "It's ridiculous. It's supposed to be for safety and things like that, and it's a culture that's been accepted to a point, and it hasn't changed. Eventually, somebody's going to be seriously hurt, unfortunately." Texas Tech submitted footage to the league this week that proved the claim to be inaccurate."
The Big 12 fined Kansas and Texas Tech $25,000 each over fallout from fan behavior during Texas Tech's 42-17 win in Lubbock. Texas Tech was penalized twice during the game for fans throwing tortillas onto the field despite a preseason ban. The scene produced a postgame confrontation between Kansas coach Lance Leipold and Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire. Leipold alleged a pocketknife struck a Kansas staffer and criticized officials and league handling, then apologized for his statements. Texas Tech submitted video disproving the knife claim. The conference cited objects thrown for Tech's fine and disparaging and inaccurate comments for Kansas' fine.
