Though he has three Super Bowl titles to his name, falling short of becoming the first team to win three straight championships undoubtedly stings.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old is looking to build on a season where he threw for 3,928 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. With OTAs and mandatory minicamp coming soon, Mahomes has been training and staying sharp in the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, on Friday, he tuned in to Texas Tech\u2019s softball team as they faced Florida State for a spot in the Women\u2019s College World Series (WCWS). Mahomes played for Texas Tech\u2019s football team three seasons from 2014-16, so he was cheering on his alma mater.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_101933419\" class=\"article_chunk type_50\">\n<div class=\"froala-view custom-theme \">\n<p>The Texas Tech Red Raiders swept the best-of-three series with a 2-1 victory on Friday, and Mahomes took to social media afterward.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;LETS GOOOO!!!!!!! @TexasTechSB,&#8221; he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Within 20 minutes of Mahomes&#8217; post, ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe saw it and sent an open invitation for the Chiefs quarterback to join her and the Red Raiders in Oklahoma City for the WCWS.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We would love to have you in OKC!!!
