The Rawls Course At Texas Tech University It took a visionary like Jerry Rawls to imagine that a truly world-class golf course could be carved out of a cotton farm in the West Texas Panhandle. Positioned on the Texas South Plains on a short-grass prairie, the course design positions Texas Tech as a leader in NCAA championship golf. Alumnus Jerry S. Rawls made it possible for Texas Tech Golf to have its own territory by donating $8.6 million toward the total cost of approximately $14-15 million in 2001 and the course was then named for him. Completed in September 2003, the 270-acre parcel, located at the northernmost point of the campus proper, features an 18-hole championship-level course with a 60-acre driving range as well as pitching and chipping areas. The 7,100-yard golf course has very undulating fairways, beautiful bent grass greens and many deep bunkers. Dedicated facilities for both golf teams existing, including collegiate-exclusive pitching and chipping areas and an indoor facility with three hitting bays, one each for the men and the women, both featuring the best video technology possible.

More About the Course Namesake, Jerry S. Rawls In December of 2000, Mr. Rawls gave $25 million to Texas Tech, then the largest gift ever received by the university, to the College of Business Administration, which was named after him. An avid golfer, Mr. Rawls’ funds and support of the Rawls Course in subsequent years have been deeply appreciated by the Texas Tech family, by its nationally prominent golf teams and by the community at large. Jerry Rawls excelled in math and science at an early age and upon graduating from Bellaire High School in Houston, he entered the engineering program at Texas Tech in 1962. He earned his Bachelor of Science of Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University in 1967 and went on to earn a Master of Science Degree in Industrial Administration from Purdue University in 1968. In 2002 Texas Tech University bestowed him the prestigious “Distinguished Engineer” citation. Mr. Rawls served as Co-Principal Executive Officer of Finisar Corp. from August 1999 to August 2008 and its Executive Chairman since January 2006. From September 1968 to February 1989, Mr. Rawls served at Raychem Corporation, where he served various management positions including Division General Manager of the Aerospace Products Division and Interconnection Systems Division. While at Tech, he was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, the Saddle Tramps, the Student Senate, the engineering honor societies Tau Beta Pi and Pi Tau Sigma, and was elected Business Manager of the Texas Tech Student Body. He has continued this service to education and leadership through many outstanding philanthropic endeavors.

Clubhouse And Team Facility Under Construction Established as one of the nation’s top on-campus collegiate golf courses, The Rawls Course at Texas Tech University will soon be home to a new $3.7 million clubhouse and team facility that was announced today by university officials. The entire project is made possible through private donations and is completely funded. “The first time I went to The Rawls Course, I was amazed at how beautiful the course was and equally impressed at the challenge that it presents,” said director of athletics Kirby Hocutt. “This new clubhouse and team facility will serve as the cornerstone for our fantastic golf course and will be something that the entire community can enjoy. We are grateful for the support of our donors who have made this possible.” The Rawls Course has earned rave reviews since its opening in September 2003 and most recently was named the fifth best public golf course in the state of Texas by Golfweek Magazine. That same publication also ranked The Rawls Course as the No. 4 university course in the nation. The Clubhouse and Team Facility at The Rawls Course will be constructed on the site where the current temporary clubhouse has resided since the course’s opening. The clubhouse and team facility will be separate units in order to provide complete privacy for the Texas Tech men’s and women’s golf teams that will occupy the team area. The team facility will be accessed through a courtyard that will provide a garden setting and dramatic entrance into the new home of Texas Tech Golf. The history of both golf programs will be displayed proudly in a reception area that will greet visitors upon their entrance. Beyond the reception area will be a full conference room, complete with multimedia capabilities that will give both teams the ability to utilize the latest technological advances in golf instruction. The team area will provide full locker rooms for both the men’s and women’s teams as wells as offices for both head coaches and assistants. This team area will have easy access to the short game area that is reserved solely for both golf teams and the No. 1 tee box. “Adding a state-of-the-art clubhouse will be a nice finishing touch to what I already consider one of the premier college golf courses in the country,” said women’s head coach JoJo Robertson. “This will not only help us in recruiting, but it will also be a boost to our current roster as almost every one of our players will still have eligibility remaining when the project is completed.” The clubhouse will be the central gathering point for members and guests and will feature panoramic views of this beautiful golf course. Jerry’s Grill, the popular restaurant at the course, will move into an expanded area that will include timber trusses as well as a fireplace and bar. The restaurant will also feature a halfway window, in order to provide food service to those making the turn at the No. 10 hole. A large veranda, with views of the course, will be available for meal service and will also include a fire pit for outdoor events.

A full-service Pro Shop will provide patrons the latest in Texas Tech Golf gear as well as clubs and accessories. The cart staging area will be near the No. 1 tee and in view of the Pro Shop. Locker room facilities will also be available for daily use by members and guests.

Design Amenities CLUBHOUSE • The clubhouse is oriented to the northeast looking across the golf course with sweeping panoramic views of holes No. 1, No. 9, No. 10 and the entire course in the distance. • The fully furnished high-volume Jerry’s Grill is expressed with heavy timber trusses and glazed walls providing full views to the golf course.

Adjacent to the veranda is a fire pit location for late afternoon and evening relaxing around a fire with sweeping views of the golf course. • An outdoor halfway window with direct access to the kitchen is available to the golfer making the turn for quick food and beverage purchases. • The full-service pro shop has views to the course for visual control of the play areas, staff at the sales counter have complete visual access to cart staging, the No. 1 tee, ninth green, No. 10 tee and the Texas Tech short game area. • The locker rooms contain showers, dressing rooms and day lockers for guests needing to change before and after golf.

Head Coach - Third Season at Tech

JoJo Robertson

After two seasons at the helm of the Texas Tech women’s golf program, JoJo Robertson has returned the Lady Raiders to national prominence with back-to-back NCAA Regional selections. The fourth head coach in school history, Robertson was named to the post on June 25, 2009, inheriting a young squad in the process that had missed the postseason the previous season. Youth didn’t derail the squad in her first season, however, as the Lady Raiders advanced to the NCAA East Regional as the No. 14 seed and came a few strokes short of qualifying for the NCAA Championships. The squad finished in a tie for ninth place overall, falling one place short of qualifying for the national tournament. Robertson did have one player advance to the NCAA Championships as an individual in Rosalyn Kim after the senior placed third at the regional round.

The Lady Raiders finished the 2009 season with a top 10 finish in all but one tournament, while claiming the Heather Farr/CU Memorial Tournament title, only the second event in Robertson’s tenure. The squad wrapped the season with six top-five finishes, while two players, Gabby Dominguez and Alex Gibson, won individual titles en route to the Lady Raiders posting 10 top-10 individual performances. After returning her entire lineup minus Kim in 2011, Tech advanced once again to the NCAA East Regional where the Lady Raiders struggled out of the gate before eventually finishing in 16th place. Alex Gibson, Tech’s lone senior on last year’s team, helped lead the Lady Raiders to their second tournament title under Robertson at the Baylor Invitational. Gibson also finished with the individual crown. The squad finished with nine top 10 finishes as a team on the year, including six top-five finishes. Four of Tech’s five players in its lineup were listed as either freshmen or sophomores, which hopefully sets the Lady Raiders up nicely for a run in 2012 at only the second NCAA Championships berth in school history. The Lady Raiders’ future should be bright under Robertson as Tech officials broke ground following the 2010-11 season on a $3.7 million clubhouse and team facility project that will further enhance already one of the top golf facilities in the nation, The Rawls Course. Robertson, who has regional ties and played collegiate golf at Oklahoma State, helped lead Purdue to back-to-back Big Ten Championships. The Roswell, N.M., native also was instrumental in Purdue’s four-straight top-10 NCAA Championship finishes, including runner-up and fourthplace finishes in 2007 and 2008. Under Robertson’s tutelage, Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year and Purdue women’s golfer Maria Hernandez won the 2009 NCAA Championship and the 2008 and 2009 conference individual titles. In just her second season, the 2006 squad turned in one of the most successful seasons in program history that culminated in the NCAA Championships. The Boilermakers won a school-record six tournaments, including the Big Ten Championship and the NCAA West Regional Championship.

2012 Texas Tech Women’s Golf

The 1995 and 1997 U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links champion, Robertson enjoyed a distinguished collegiate career at Oklahoma State, which included three team conference championships. Her amateur career included a ranking of No. 11 in Golfweek Magazine’s Female Amateur List in 1997 as well as being named one of the top 10 amateurs by Golf Digest. Robertson participated in the 1997 and 1998 U.S. Women’s Opens, making the cut in 1998. Additionally, in 1998, she was a member of the United States Curtis Cup team. Prior to joining the collegiate ranks as a coach, Robertson was an assistant professional at Spring River Golf Course in Roswell from 1999-2000. While playing on the Futures Professional Tour from 2000-02, she was also an assistant professional at the New Mexico Military Institute Golf Course through 2004.

Assistant Coach

Emily Kuhfeld Emily Kuhfeld was named the assistant coach of the Texas Tech women’s golf team on July 29, 2011, joining head coach JoJo Robertson for her third season with the program. Kuhfeld arrives at Tech following a oneyear stint as the head coach at the University of South Carolina Beaufort where she led the NAIA program to a third place finish in the Sun Conference and a spot in the national tournament. The Sand Sharks finished 18th at the NAIA National Championships this past season and were ranked among the top 20 teams in the country. Under Kuhfeld’s direction, Kelli Nakano claimed the Sun Conference individual title and earned All-American honors as well. Kuhfeld arrived at UCSB after two years as a golf instructor with both the Junior Players Golf Academy (JPGA) and at the Oyster Reef Golf Club in Hilton Head, S.C. While with the JPGA, Kuhfeld assisted in the organization’s college placement program mission. The Indianapolis native earned her degree in history from The Ohio State University in 2005 after wrapping her playing career. The captain of the 2004-05 squad, Kuhfeld was a four-time Academic All-Big 10 selection and helped lead the Buckeyes to the Big 10 title in each of her four seasons. Following graduation, she spent nearly two years as a professional player on the Futures Tour before moving on to caddie for Allison Hanna on the LPGA Tour.

Volunteer Assistant Coach

Laurie Brower

Former LPGA player Laurie Brower joined head coach JoJo Robertson’s staff in June 2011 as the program’s volunteer assistant coach. One of the top golfers in school history, Brower, a 1985 Texas Tech graduate, has worked as an instructor at The Rawls Course since shortly after the facility opened in 2003. “We are very excited to have Laurie as part of our team,” Robertson said. “She played here at Texas Tech and had an outstanding career. Laurie has tremendous knowledge of the game and her LPGA playing experience will be helpful to our players. She has a lot to share and will definitely add to our program.” Brower was a two-time Southwest Conference Player of the Year during her Tech playing days from 1982-85. She spent six years on both the Futures and Players West tours before joining the LPGA as a rookie in 1992. After a 10-year career that resulted in numerous top 10 finishes, Brower retired from the tour in 2002 ranked 214th in total earnings. She came out of retirement briefly in 2008 to qualify and play in the U.S. Women’s Open.

Welcome to Texas Tech Texas Tech University is in the midst of the most exciting time in the school’s history. As the university embarks on becoming the state’s next national research university, the opportunities for students could not be greater. Established in 1923, Texas Tech University sits on a 1,840-acre campus that features expansive lawns, impressive landscaping and Spanish Renaissance–style architecture. Texas Tech has the distinction of being the largest comprehensive higher

Mission Statement:

education institution in the western two-thirds of the state and serves a region larger than 46 of the nation’s 50 states. A major research university with the feel of a smaller liberal arts institution, Texas Tech’s enrollment of more than 30,000 allows students to have one-on-one interactions with top faculty in a safe, traditional campus atmosphere. The university offers more than 150 bachelor’s degrees, 100 master’s degrees and 50 doctoral degree

choices. Plus, as part of the Texas Tech University System, Texas Tech shares the same campus with its sister university the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. The close proximity makes Texas Tech the only institution in the state with undergraduate and graduate schools, a law school and medical school all in close proximity to each other, which facilitates the transition to professional studies. A strong art and music program is balanced with growing research in

a number of sustainable energy areas. New areas of research in solar and nuclear energies as well as smart grids and storage are supported by major endowed chairs for which national searches are currently underway. Texas Tech researchers are also known for their work in creative and technical writing, food safety, environmental toxicology and wind science. Texas Tech is proud to boast of one of the finest and most diverse faculties in the nation. Our faculty members excel in teaching, research and service as demonstrated by the award winning chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious honor society. From prestigious nationally competitive scholarship, such as the William J. Fulbright, GatesCambridge, and Barry M. Goldwater, to national championships in animal science, debate and law, Texas Tech students are known nationwide for their successes. Community engagement plays an important role at Texas Tech. In 2006, the university was one of the first 62 institutions and the first in Texas to earn the Carnegie Foundation’s classification for Community Engagement. In 2007 and 2008 the university was named to the Corporation for National and Community Service President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

As a public research university, Texas Tech advances knowledge through innovative and creative teaching,

research, and scholarship. The university is dedicated to student success by preparing learners to be ethical leaders for a diverse and globally competitive workforce. The university is committed to enhancing the cultural and economic development of the state, nation, and world.

Chancellor Kent Hance

PResident Guy Bailey

Kent Hance became the third chancellor of the Texas Tech University System on December 1, 2006. As chancellor, Hance is the chief executive officer of all campuses and academic sites of Texas Tech University, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and Angelo State University. He is focusing his energies on continuing quality enrollment growth, enhancing research in areas of excellence and accentuating the programs and opportunities that prepare students for professional and personal success. Foremost on the agenda is fundraising for scholarships, professorships and endowments as well as capital contributions. The chancellor also works in Austin and Washington, D.C. to enhance funding for all institutions. Before becoming chancellor, Hance was a partner in Hance Scarborough, an Austin law firm. His firm’s primary focus was on state and federal administrative law, regulatory law and legislative law. In addition, he advised clients in oil, gas and other energy-related matters. Hance earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Texas Tech University in 1965 and graduated from the University of Texas School of Law in 1968. He returned to Lubbock to practice law and teach business law at Texas Tech. In 1973, he was named an outstanding professor at Texas Tech. Hance began a career in politics in 1974 when he won a seat in the Texas State Senate. While in the Senate, he was one of only four members who served jointly on the chamber’s two most powerful committees: Finance and State Affairs. Four years later, he won election to the 19th Congressional District. In 1981, Hance authored and won passage of President Reagan’s tax bill. While a member of Congress, Hance served on the Ways and Means Committee, the Agriculture Committee and the Science and Technology Committee. After Congress, Hance won election to the Texas Railroad Commission. Hance is a native of Dimmitt, Texas. He and his wife, Susie Hance, also an attorney, have five children and seven grandchildren.

Guy Bailey became the fifteenth president of Texas Tech University on August 1, 2008. With the goal for Texas Tech to become a national research university, Bailey is leading the charge for the university to boost graduate and undergraduate enrollment and increase restricted research expenditures, as well as meet other criteria set forth by the legislature to ensure Tier One status for the university. “Texas Tech is a unique and special place,” Bailey said. “It has one of the brightest futures in American higher education. I am honored to be president and consider it a privilege to be a part of that future.” Prior to assuming this office, he served as chancellor of the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) from January 2006 until July 2008. He previously served as provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at the University of Texas-San Antonio (UTSA) from 1999 through 2005. Prior to his appointment as provost at UTSA, he served as associate vice president for research and dean of graduate studies at UTSA, as dean of liberal arts at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and as chair of the English departments at the University of Memphis and Oklahoma State University. Prior to serving as an administrator, he taught at Texas A&M and Emory universities. Bailey is the author of about 100 books and articles, many co-authored by his wife, Dr. Jan Tillery, Texas Tech class of 1974. Tillery is a proud Red Raider, as were her mother, Mary Elizabeth Tillery, class of 1948, and her father, Clarence “Tim” Tillery, outstanding offensive end for the Red Raider football team from 1938-1941. Bailey continues to do research on language variation and change, with special emphasis on the English of Texas and the American South, and in computational linguistics. The research on Texas English has been featured in a front-page article in the New York Times, on National Public Radio, on CNN Headline News, on BBC Radio, in Texas Monthly, and in the San Antonio Express-News.

Under his direction in 2010, Miami recorded a program-best Graduation Success Rate of 86 percent, while all 18 teams excelled in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate Report (APR). Led by the Hurricanes football program - who has posted a multi-year APR score in the top 10 percent - Miami finished sixth in the APR in 2010, and is the only Bowl Championship Subdivision (BCS) team among the 26 schools recognized that finished ranked in the final USA Today Coaches Poll and Associated Press Poll following the 2009 season. In addition, UM’s football program was the co-recipient of the American Football Coaches Association’s

2009 Academic Achievement Award, graduating 100 percent of its freshman football student-athlete class of 2002. At the age of 33, Hocutt got his first opportunity as an athletic director at the Division I level with the Ohio University Bobcats, in 2005. At Ohio, Hocutt significantly reorganized the athletic department’s annual giving program, increasing fundraising by more than 75 percent, including the securing of the second largest major gift in school athletics history. He also increased season ticket sales in football by 112 percent and in men’s basketball by 50 percent. He developed a comprehensive plan to improve the facilities for the football stadium and the press box, as well as the Convocation Center which houses all administrative and coaches’ offices. In his three years at Ohio, the school won 11 team championships and four head coaches were recognized as conference coaches of the year. In 2006, the football team played in its first bowl game in 38 years. After a stint as the assistant coordinator of licensing at the NCAA, Hocutt joined the staff at the University of Oklahoma in 1998, where he oversaw the fundraising efforts for the Sooners and was the primary administrator for football and sports supervisor for baseball and men’s and women’s golf. His duties included supervision of the athletics development office, athletics ticket office, special events, stadium suite program, athletics endowment program, letter winners association and the department’s facility use and rental program. Hocutt led Oklahoma’s athletics fundraising to an all-time high in annual giving and capital campaigns. From 1998 to 2005, Oklahoma’s annual giving increased from $3.4 million to more than $17 million. That 400 percent increase in annual giving was one of the highest percentage increases in intercollegiate athletics history. Beginning in 1999, Hocutt served in a leadership position in the strategic planning for a $100 million capital campaign. The $120 million campaign was unique in that it focused on facility construction or improvements for each of Oklahoma’s 20 sports. Prior to joining the Oklahoma staff, Hocutt served as the assistant director of licensing at the NCAA. In that position, he worked with corporate partners and licensees to create new revenue producing initiatives to support and promote all 81 NCAA championships. Hocutt earned his bachelor’s degree from Kansas State in 1995 and his master’s of education degree from the University of Oklahoma in 2001. He and his wife, Diane, have two sons: Drew and Brooks.

The masked rider

The Masked Rider is the oldest and most popular mascot of Texas Tech University that still exists today. Originally the Masked Rider began as a dare in 1936 and was called the ghost rider, because no one knew the riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity. These ghost riders circled the field at home football games and then disappeared.

The Masked Rider did not become the official mascot until 1954, when Joe Kirk Fulton led the football team out onto the field at the Gator Bowl. Fulton, wearing jeans, red shirt, black cape and who was mounted on a black horse, awed the crowd as the team made one of the most sensational entrances ever.

Today the Masked Rider, with his or her guns up, leads the football team out onto the field for all of the home games. The Masked Rider is one of the most visible figures at Tech and was recently named by the Associated Press as the ninth-best mascot in college football.

ANDERSON, DONNY While also arguably owning the most nicknames - “Stinnett Stingray,” the “Golden Palomino” and “Donny Wonderful” - All-American Donny Anderson also held many of Texas Tech’s football records when his legendary career ended with the 1965 season. He finished fourth in the 1965 Heisman Trophy race. Anderson later played nine seasons in the NFL, including on both of Green Bay’s Super Bowl champion teams in 1967 and 1968. He scored a touchdown in the ‘68 Super Bowl against Oakland. ARTIFICIAL TURF The football field carpet, installed in 2006, is the sixth different surface covering the Jones AT&T Stadium floor since Tech switched to turf in 1970. The current surface is known as Fieldturf. The old astroturf was removed and sold to the public.

... but we’ll start with our Guns Up! The hand sign of the Red Raiders can be traced back to L. Glenn Dippel, a 1961 alumnus of Texas Tech, and his wife, Roxie. The sign is made by extending the index finger outward while extending the thumb upward and tucking in the middle, little and fourth fingers to form a gun. The idea is that the Red Raiders will shoot down their opponents. The Guns Up sign is the widely recognized greeting of one Red Raider to another. It is also the sign of victory displayed by the crowd at every athletic event.

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING Modeled after La Universidad de Alcala de Hernales in Spain, the Administration Building was one of the original campus buildings. The most recognized building on campus, it has three floors and a basement, twin bell towers, salle port, double wings and a courtyard. Among the offices in the “Ad Building” are the Chancellor’s Office, President’s Office and Board of Regents Office in the east wing and the College of Education in the west wing.

ARBOR DAY When Texas Tech first started, most of the funds went towards the buildings, but the campus was lacking its landscape. Then, in 1937, president Knapp decided to dedicate one day every spring to beautify the campus. On the first day of this now annual tradition, 20,000 trees were planted. This Tech tradition still goes on today as student and teachers plant trees and beautify the campus each Arbor Day.

BANGIN’ BERTHA Saddle Tramps carry Bangin Bertha, a bell on a trailer, to all home football games and homecoming events. Bertha was designed in 1959 by Saddle Tramp Joe Winegar, and was donated by the Santa Fe Railroad. Bangin’ Bertha is considered a spirit-raiser and a big tradition at Texas Tech. BLARNEY STONE On St. Patrick’s Day in 1939 Texas Tech University unveiled that they had discovered a piece of the Blarney Stone. According to the legend the stone was discovered by a group of petroleum engineers while they were on a field trip. After doing tests it was discovered that the stone was a piece of the original Blarney Stone. The stone now lies on a stand in front of the old Electrical Engineering Building. It is said that seniors that kiss the Blarney Stone upon graduation will receive the gift of eloquent speech.

texas tech traditions from a-z CAROL OF LIGHTS To celebrate the holiday season Texas Tech holds an annual event called the Carol of Lights. The event starts off with the Texas Tech University Combined Choirs performing selections of classic holiday songs at the Science Quadrangle. This tradition started in 1959 when Harold Hinn came up with the idea and provided the funds to cover the science quadrangle and the administration building with lights. Unfortunately students were away on Christmas break and did not see the display. The next year the Residence Hall Association created the Christmas Sing, which is now known as the Carol of Lights. Today, the Carol of Lights is one of Texas Tech’s favorite traditions. CAWTHON, PETE Texas Tech’s third football coach, Pete Cawthon had quite a friend in his corner. Notre Dame’s legendary Knute Rockne was among those who recommended Cawthon for the job as Texas Tech’s head football coach. Cawthon’s squads posted a 76-32-6 record in his 11 years as head coach. Cawthon left Texas Tech in 1940 and later coached professionally in Brooklyn and Detroit. He died on Dec. 31, 1962, and is the subject of a book called “Tender Tyrant,” written by Etta Lynch in 1976 and published by Staked Plains Press, Inc. DAVIS, DR. J. WILLIAM The “father of the national letter

of intent,” Dr. J. William Davis was chairman of Texas Tech’s Athletic Council. He devised the form that insured coaches could not pirate another school’s recruits. The measure was adopted in 1964 by the College Commissioners Association. Under the “Davis Plan,” as a news service dubbed the program, major conferences agreed to honor each others’ letters of intent; that is, agreements by high school athletes to accept an athletic scholarship from a particular school. A national letter of intent, embracing all NCAA members, failed to pass at the 1962 NCAA convention, when smaller colleges opposed the plan. Davis served as Southwest Conference president, NCAA vice-president and was a member of the NCAA Infractions Committee. DOUBLE T An image study in 1989 brought out loud and clear that to Texas Techsans the Double T represents tradition, pride and school identity. Historical evidence suggests that Tech’s first football coaches, E.Y. Freeland and Grady Higginbotham, are the originators of this campus trademark, first using it on letter sweaters. No campus symbol is so readily identified with Texas Tech as the Double T. DOUBLE T BENCH Located in the courtyard behind the Administration Building, this special bench was given by the

seniors of the class of 1931. It was an announced tradition that no freshmen were allowed to sit on it. DOUBLE T SADDLE MONUMENT Before the football team goes out onto the field they touch the sculpture of a saddle. The saddle was dedicated by the Saddle Tramps to Double T, one of the many Masked Rider Horses that served proudly over the years. DYKES, WILLIAM TAYLOR Better known as “Spike,” Texas Tech’s 12th head football coach, Dykes posted a record of 82-67-1 in his 13 years of leading the Red Raiders and is the school’s all-time winningest coach. He got his nickname from a Dick Tracy character from the World War II era. He was named the Southwest Conference’s coach of the year three times and was the first coach to receive the honor from the Big 12 Conference. He took over the Tech football program in 1986 in December before the Red Raiders battled Mississippi in the Independence Bowl. He is Tech’s all-time winningest coach in Southwest Conference games and led the Red Raiders to a school-record four-consecutive bowls entering 1997. He was born in Lubbock, went to high school in Ballinger and graduated from Stephen F. Austin in 1959. Dykes came to Tech as defensive coordinator in 1984. FREELAND, E.Y. Texas Tech’s first football coach, E.Y. Freeland was hired in June 1925. He compiled a 21-10-6 record for four seasons from 1925-28.

texas tech traditions from a-z GATOR BOWL Tech claimed a 35-13 win over Auburn in the ‘54 Gator Bowl, which marked the first televised game ever for the school. The contest also gave birth to another long-standing Texas Tech tradition. Riding a horse named Blackie, Tech student Joe Kirk Fulton, wearing Levi’s, red shirt, red and black cape and a black cowboy hat, led the team onto the field. Thus the “Masked Rider” was born. Most recently, the Red Raiders staged a thrilling, fourth quarter came-frombehind win over the No. 20 Virginia Cavaliers in the 2008 Konica Minolta Gator Bowl.

HEISMAN TROPHY Five Red Raiders have finished among the top vote getters in the race for college football’s most prestigious trophy. Texas Tech’s Byron Hanspard garnered 251 points in 1996 to finish sixth overall in

the voting. Donny Anderson posted Tech’s all-time highest finish in the Heisman voting when the running back received 408 points to finish fourth in 1965. E.J. Holub finished 10th in the 1960 Heisman ballot with 117 points. Quarterbacks Kliff Kingsbury and B.J. Symons finished ninth and tenth, respectively, in the voting in 2002 and 2003. HOLUB, E.J. Texas Tech’s first consensus Division I All-America at center and linebacker, Lubbock native E.J. Holub was named to the Southwest Conference’s Hall of Honor in 1994. Holub went on to a 10-year career in the NFL, playing for the Dallas Texans of the AFL and the Kansas City Chiefs of the NFL. He achieved an NFL first as the only player to start on both offense and defense in two separate Super Bowls. He was also inducted into the Texas Tech Athletic Hall of Honor in 1977 and is a member of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame. HOMECOMING Held each fall Homecoming brings back Tech-exes and fans to join with students for a bonfire and pep rally, parade, open houses, awards programs, and float competitions. Homecoming dates back to 1930 when Texas Tech lost 20-6 to Hardin-Simmons. A highlight of Homecoming is election of a queen, the first being Suzanne Matteson in 1954.

INSTANT REPLAY The Sept. 18, 1965, Texas Tech game against Kansas—a 26-7 Tech win—was the first intercollegiate football contest to use instant video replay (Ampex). Robert “Daddy Warbucks” Walker, a Texas Tech grad, pioneered the equipment used by coach JT King to review plays immediately. However, the new twist was eliminated by the NCAA in 1967 because the technology was too costly for some schools. JONES AT&T STADIUM Completed in 1947 and named for former Texas Tech president Clifford B. Jones and his wife Audrey, Jones AT&T Stadium originally seated 18,000. The first game was played on November 29, 1947, with a 14-6 Texas Tech victory over Hardin-Simmons. Following the last game of the 1959 season, the stadium was widened to the east for additional seating and the playing field lowered to a depth of 28 feet. Successive additions in 1969 and 1972 took the stadium to its current seating capacity of 50,050. In 1979, the Lettermen’s Lounge was completed on the north end of the stadium. A large Double T scoreboard was added on the south end, and athletic department offices were renovated and expanded in 1990. Texas Tech celebrated the 50th anniversary of the stadium in 1997. West side renovations were recently completed and include the addition of a new press box, club seats and luxury suites and increased capacity.

texas tech traditions from a-z LAMB, ARCH The founder of the Saddle Tramps in 1936, Arch Lamb was head cheerleader when he formed the all-male booster organization. The group was founded based on three principles - spirit, service and leadership. The Texas Tech legend passed away in March 2004. LETTERMEN’S LOUNGE Found on the north end of Jones Stadium on 4th Street, the Lettermen’s Lounge holds memorabilia of Tech’s most prominent athletes. Meetings and meals can be held in the facility, whose windows look right out onto the football field. It is connected to the Athletic Ticket Office and was constructed in 1979. MASCOTS Texas Tech has had several, including the current Masked Rider. The first, a black calf, was donated to the team after Tech’s first victory, a 30-0 decision in the third game of 1925. The calf was branded with the winning score and later slaughtered and barbecued for the team with the idea that the hide would be tanned and placed in the trophy room. However, the hide did not retain its hair and thus was lost. One accomplishment the calf made during its one-year reign was that no opposing fan and was ever able to ride it without being thrown. This became a regular performance during halftime at Tech’s first games. McMURRY Texas Tech played its first football game on Oct. 3, 1925, against McMurry. The game ended in a controversial 0-0 tie. The referee ruled that time had expired before Texas Tech’s Elson Archibald made his apparent gamewinning 20-yard field goal. The decision came much to the dismay of the players and fans who were in the midst of a wild celebration. Reports after the game explained that the referee was getting revenge on Texas Tech because he was not named the school’s football coach. NEIMAN-MARCUS The Dallas-based department store drew the wrath of Texas Tech fans after the school’s attempt to join the Southwest Conference was denied in 1952. Red Raider

fans were so angry that many cut up their Neiman-Marcus charge cards and mailed them to the store. Legend has it that Stanley Marcus got involved and helped sway SMU’s vote toward Tech’s favor. NICKNAMES Interestingly, Texas Tech was almost nicknamed the Dogies, as suggested by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. But the first athletic teams became known as the Matadors, instead, thanks to the head coach’s wife. Mrs. Ewing Young Freeland preferred Matadors because of the Spanish architectural influence on campus. The college colors of scarlet and black and team name of Matadors were adopted by students on March 15, 1926, during a convocation. The teams remained as Matadors until 1936 when Red Raiders was adopted. The name-change from Matadors to Red Raiders came from Lubbock AvalancheJournal sports writer Collier Parris, reflecting on their red uniforms and a strong season. Covering a football game in 1932, he wrote: “The Red Raiders from Texas Tech, terror of the Southwest this year, swooped in the New Mexico University camp today.” The name caught on and by 1936, the Matadors had faded into history, replaced by the Red Raiders. RAIDER ALLEY One of the most popular events associated with Texas Tech football is Raider Alley. Raider Alley is Texas Tech’s answer to tailgating. Food, beverages, games, live entertainment and merchandise are available in a festive pregame atmosphere. Raider Alley is shoulder-to-shoulder football fans gearing-up for the upcoming game. It usually begins three hours prior to kickoff. RAIDER RED Prior to the 1971 season, the Southwest Conference passed a rule that prevented members of the conference from taking live animals to non-home games unless the host team had no objections. So Jim Gaspard, a member of Saddle Tramps, created Raider Red from a drawing by the late Lubbock cartoonist Dirk West as an alternative to the Masked Rider when the horse couldn’t travel with the football team. Raider Red’s student persona is kept a secret from the Tech community. Red is a public relations mascot who shakes hands with the crowds at athletic events and poses for pictures.

Raider Red fires his two 12-gauge shotguns using powder-filled shells after every Tech touchdown and field goal. RAILROAD TRACKS To accommodate the $2 million stadium expansion after the 1959 season, each of the seven sections— estimated at 10 million pounds—were moved back more than 200 feet on railroad tracks with long steel rollers. The move was considered an engineering marvel for the times. RAINOUT The 1965 Texas Tech matchup with Kansas was the only game involving a Southwest Conference team called early because of bad weather. The game was called 56 seconds into the final period after heavy rains, strong winds and a tornado alert threatened the 35,300 fans in attendance. RETIRED JERSEYS Three Red Raider football players have had their jersey numbers retired. E.J. Holub’s No. 55 was retired on Dec. 19, 1960, and Donny Anderson’s No. 44 was retired Nov. 11, 1995. Dave Parks’ No. 81 jersey was retired Nov. 17, 2001. Both Holub and Anderson are members of the College Football Hall of Fame. SADDLE TRAMPS Formed by Tech student Arch Lamb in 1936, this all-male booster organization supports men’s athletics at Texas Tech. The name Saddle Tramp came from the stories of traveling men who would come to a farm for a brief time, fix up some things and move on. Lamb said he decided that he could fix up some things himself before moving on, and the Saddle Tramps were born. Since that time the Saddle Tramps believe if something was for the betterment of Texas Tech then they would work at it. These Midnight Raiders “paint the campus red” with crepe paper before big home games, form the legendary “Bell Circle” moments before kickoff, ring Bangin’ Bertha, participate in parades and other campus events (including the Carol of Lights), and ring the Victory Bells after Red Raider victories.

texas tech traditions from a-z SEAL OF TEXAS TECH Designed by the campus’ master planner, William Ward Watkin, in 1924, the Tech Seal’s symbols are the lamp, which represents “school,” the key for “home,” the book for “church,” and the star for “state.” Cotton bolls represent the area’s strong cotton industry and the eagle is suggestive of our country. The seal first appeared on Tech diplomas in 1948, but it wasn’t officially approved as “The” Seal of Texas Tech University until 1953. On April 27, 1972, the seal was placed at the Broadway and University entrance to the campus in what became known as the Amon G. Carter Plaza. It is made of red granite and stands 12 feet high. It has been referred to by students through the years as “the Oreo.” SCOVELL A familiar name in the annals of Texas football. The elder Field Scovell was considered “Mr. Cotton Bowl.” In fact, his name is on the winner’s trophy after serving as the bowl’s chairman of team selection for nearly four decades. He has sent several family members to Texas Tech that have made a substantial impact on Red Raider football. Scovell’s son, John, played quarterback and threw for 175 yards in the 1967 win over Texas, the Red Raiders’ first victory over their bitter rivals in 12 years. His grandson, Field, was a four-year member of the Texas Tech football team (1993-96). One of the nation’s top scholar-athletes, he led the ‘95 Texas Tech squad in catches and yards and played in three-consecutive bowl games. Grandsons, King and Dupree, graduated in 2002 and 2004, respectively. SOUTHWEST CONFERENCE CIRCLE Now unused, the Southwest Conference Circle contains the teams which comprised the SWC. The landmark was constructed when Texas Tech was admitted into the conference in 1956. It was the site of pep rallies and spirit-raising events for many years. SUN BOWL The 1938 appearance to the Sun Bowl marked Texas Tech’s first-ever bowl trip. Texas Tech went to the Sun Bowl three times in their first four bowl appearances. The Red Raiders also made an appearance in the John

Hancock Bowl in El Paso in 1993 three years after the bowl changed names.

State Legislature, on Sept. 1, 1969, formally approved the board’s suggestion.

TELEVISION The 35-13 win over Auburn in the 1954 Gator Bowl was Texas Tech’s first televised game. Bowl MVP Bobby Cavazos had 141 yards on 13 carries and scored three touchdowns in the triumph over Auburn and quarterback Vince Dooley.

TEXAS TOM CATS State Representative R.A. Baldwin, instrumental in the creation of Texas Tech and it being located in Lubbock, was in favor of naming Texas Tech’s athletic teams the “Texas Tom Cats.” As the story goes, after the vote was taken in the House of Representatives on passage of the bill to create the institution, Rep. George Purl turned to Rep. Baldwin and remarked: “We’ll call the Tech football team the ‘Texas Tom Cats’ - TTC for Texas Technological College and also for Texas Tom Cats.”

TEXAS SPORTS HALL OF FAME Former women’s basketball head coach Marsha Sharp and former Lady Raider and Olympic star Sheryl Swoopes were inducted into the Hall in 2000. Legendary football coach Pete Cawthon and All-Americans Donny Anderson and E.J. Holub are members of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Field Scovell, inducted in 1986, sent son, John, to Texas Tech. Longtime Baylor head coach Grant Teaff served one year as an assistant football coach at Tech. TEXAS TECH ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Known as The Ex-Students Association until recently when its name changed to the Texas Tech Alumni Association, the organization began in 1927 with the first graduating class and its senior president Edmund W. “Ned” Camp. The organization began as Tech’s Alumni Association. Then in April 1935, its name was changed to the Alumni and ExStudents Association. Since September 1949, it was the ExStudents Association until the recent change. The organization represents all who have attended Tech, not just its graduates. The Texas Tech Alumni Association provides numerous academic scholarships, support for the University and student groups, and it sponsors various campus-wide Homecoming events, awards programs and chapter activities. TEXAS TECH(NOLOGICAL) UNIVERSITY From 1959-69, debates were held and feuds erupted over what name should replace Texas Technological College. It was agreed that the word “university” was necessary to reflect the growth in size and prestige of the “college.” Strongest support was for retaining the Double T, despite what name was selected for the university. By 1963, the board of directors officially approved “Texas Tech University,” preserving aspects of the original name and retaining the trademark Double T. The

TIE Texas Tech was involved in one of the strangest games in college football history. A 0-0 tie with Centenary in 1939 was played in a driving rainstorm and featured an NCAA-record 77 punts (67 on first down!). Interestingly, Field Scovell (featured earlier under Scovell) was a game official in the game, which was played in Shreveport, La. Charlie Calhoun still owns the NCAA record for number of punts in a single game. He punted 36 times for 1,318 yards in the game. UNDEFEATED The 1938 squad remains as the only Texas Tech football team to go through the entire regular season unbeaten. Under coach Pete Cawthon, the 10-0 squad lost to St. Mary’s (Calif.), 20-13, in the Cotton Bowl. VICTORY BELLS In 1936 victory bells were given to Texas Tech as a class gift. The bells rang for the first time at the 1936 class’s graduation. It is said that after the win over TCU, the following year, the bells rang through out the night. The bells kept Lubbock residents up all night. Thereafter, the bell ringing was limited to 30 minutes. Saddle Tramps ring the bells after Texas Tech victories and during special occasions. The Victory Bells - one large and one small, which combine to weigh 1,200 pounds - hang in the east tower of the Administration Building.

WEST, DIRK The late Lubbock cartoonist designed Raider Red, an additional mascot that could travel with Texas Tech’s athletic teams. West became familiar to thousands of Red Raider fans by poking fun at Tech’s SWC rivals in his weekly newspaper sketches and on the cover of Tech’s football programs. WILL ROGERS AND SOAPSUDS One of the most well known landmarks on campus is the statue of Will Rogers and his horse Soapsuds. This memorial was dedicated on

February 16, 1950 by longtime friend of Rogers, Amon G. Carter. Carter believed Texas Tech was the perfect setting for the statue and that it would fit into the traditions and scenery of West Texas. The statue stands at 9’11” tall and weighs 3,200 pounds; its estimated cost was $25,000. On the base of the statue, the inscription reads “Lovable Old Will Rogers on his favorite horse, ‘Soapsuds,’ riding into the Western sunset.” Today Texas Tech tradition and legends surrounds the statue. According to one legend, the plan

to face Will Rogers so that he could be riding off into the sunset did not work out as it would cause Soapsuds’ rear to be facing downtown. To solve this problem, the horse and Will was turned 23 degrees to the east so the horse’s posterior was facing in the direction of Texas A&M, one of the school’s rivals. Before every home football game the Saddle Tramps wrap Old Will with red crepe paper. Will Rogers and Soapsuds have also been wrapped up in black crepe paper to mourn national tragedies.
