Tuesday Texas Tech History: How The Matadors Became The Red Raiders. “I don’t want you boys ever to be called “Matadors” again!”

Welcome to our Tuesday Texas Tech History class. Last week we told you how Tech became the Matadors. This week we tell you how one coach and one sportswriter changed history.

A week ago we told you how Texas Tech’s first head coach, E.Y. Freeland settled on Matadors and the colors Scarlet and Black for Texas Tech’s football team. Not a decade later, another Tech coach would make a determination that would change the history of the school going forward. At least when it comes to mascots and how the students viewed themselves….

By 1934-35, Lubbock Avalanche Journal sports writer Collier Parris had already begun referring to Texas Tech’s football team as the “Red Raiders” in his stories. He began using that moniker because of the Matadors flashy uniforms as well as their cross-country schedule that saw them “raiding the country” from the South Plains.

Obviously current Texas Tech coach and burgeoning Tech legend Pete Cawthon had taken notice of the nickname.

During the 1936 season, Cawthon took the Texas Tech football team accross the border after a game to see a bullfight.

The great book “Tender Tyrant – The Legend Of Pete Cawthon” recounts what happened next.

“During that season Pete took his boys across the border after a game to see Juarez, Mexco. Of course, he included a bullfight in their scheule, since few of the boys had seen one. but about halfway through the program, Pete staggered out of the Plaza de Toros, white-faced and sick.

“I don’t want you boys ever to be called “Matadors” again,” he groaned to Harris Check. “We’ve got to get a new name.”

The tenderhearted Pete couldn’t accept the bulls’ having no chance of coming out of the ring alive. When the banderillos threw the darts into the bull’s back, he suffered with that animal.

That day he changed the name to Red Devils, but he never liked the name much, and soon after, he noticed a phrase in a write-u[ by Collier Parris of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal staff. In it, he labeledd the Texas Tech team “The Red Raiders”. To Pete, that was perfect,and the team continues under that name to this day.”

So there you go. One of Texas Tech’s first sports heroes was somewhere between an animal lover, an early PC crusader or just a man who wanted his team to be known as something more than an executioner.

Most fans have heard the story that it was the A-J writer who created the name Red Raiders, and that’s right. It took Pete Cawthon though to embrace it and make the chance at the school level, and now you know why and how it happened.

Each Tuesday we’re gonna try and give y’all a Texas Tech history lesson. We freely and thankfully credit great books like Etta Lynh’s “Tender Tyrant – THe Legend Of Pete Cawthon” and many more sources we will utilize.

We hope you’ll share this with your Texas Tech friends out their via social media and we look forward to visiting with you on the radio each day from 11-1 on Talk 1340 in Lubbock and ESPN 960 in San Angelo. If you want our radio show where you live, call your station and tell them to call us!

Texas Tech University- Masked Rider and Raider Red

Texas Tech can thank a gutsy student for the marvelous creation of the masked rider tradition. Initially proposed as a prank by his pals, one student shook up the regular Texas Tech football entrance routine when he led the team onto the field riding a trusty palomino. Dressed in a scarlet red satin cape made by the Home Economics Department and strapped into a pair of borrowed cowboy boots, the class of ‘37 rider coincidentally turned a dare into a timeless tradition.

The students pulled the same prank on a few more occasions that 1936 season. However, the Masked Rider did not resurface until the 1950s when another Tech student was asked to step up and re-create the spirit once again. In 1953, Texas Tech’s football coach DeWitt Weaver headed to Jacksonville, Florida, for the Gator Bowl. He was riding on an impressive 10-1-0 record, hoping to earn the team an opportunity to join the new Southwest Conference. He wanted a way to build an even more energetic atmosphere around the Red Raiders. So, Weaver asked a student, Joe Kirk Fulton, to ride the horse and become the university’s official mascot.

Fulton rushed onto the football field on New Year’s Day 1954 riding a horse named Blackie. According to reports from those in attendance of the 1954 Gator Bowl, the crowd sat in silence out of pure disbelief before bursting into roaring cheers. The sensational entrance set the standard for Texas Tech forevermore.

Texas Tech has now seen 58 riders on 14 horses since the beginning of the Masked Rider. Currently, the masked rider position passes on to each new student under careful consideration. In addition to applying, Riders must pass a written horsemanship test. Then they are judged on equestrian skills and an interview. Given the prestigious honor of the tradition, becoming the Masked Rider is now based on both skill and the ability to exemplify the spirit of the university. It is also a commitment of hard work, as the horse, the rider, and assistants travel more than 15,000 miles a year for games and other events.

A spontaneous beginning spun into a spirited tradition. It has made Texas Tech’s majestic Masked Rider one of the most unique mascots and aspects of the university. Those who ride today know that they represent more than just the red and black; they exemplify one of the most noble traditions, and ride for Texas Tech University students both past and present.

Texas A&M University – Reveille

There are many stories of how the first Reveille found her way to campus. The most common tale has it that she first appeared in January 1931. On a drive back to campus, a group of cadets accidentally hit a small black and white dog with their vehicle and thoughtfully (but secretly) brought her back to their dorm despite campus rules. However, she soon blew her cover and established her name when she loudly barked along to the bugler’s wake up call, “Reveille,” the next morning. The following football season, Reveille led the Aggie Band onto the field as the official mascot.

The tradition of Reveille’s breed came later, when a Shetland Sheepdog was donated by a Texas A&M graduate to be named Reveille II; and then Reveille III became the first full-blood Rough Collie, which is the breed every Reveille has belonged to since. And although she reigns like a queen among the student body, her free reign on campus ended in 1960. This was when her care was officially handed over to a Mascot Corporal, a sophomore cadet in Company E-2. A prestigious responsibility among Aggies, a new handler is chosen each spring. The beloved Collie lives with her handler for the year. She joins the student’s full schedule of classes, dates, holiday travels, and each of Reveille’s Aggie function appearances.

Upon time for retirement, various organizations on campus conduct a thorough search to find the next Reveille. Texas A&M’s current mascot, Reveille IX, was chosen to take over in May of 2015, and came all the way from Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Aggieland treats each Reveille like royalty. Upon their passing, a formal funeral takes place outside the north end of Kyle Field. This is where all former Reveilles, including Reveille I, have a special scoreboard to watch their Aggies win.

Texas Tech Honors 50th Anniversary of Raider Red Mascot [PHOTOS]

During the second quarter of Saturday's Texas Tech vs SFA football game, Texas Tech honored the 50th anniversary of the creation of Raider Red.

Texas Tech is like many college teams that have both a live animal mascot, and a costumed mascot. Raider Red was created once rules were changed to ban visiting football teams from bringing live animal mascots to road games in the Southwest Conference.

Saturday's on-field ceremony honored previous Raider Red mascots and the family of Dirk West, who created Raider Red. West was a modern-day renaissance man, a renown artist who published a weekly editorial cartoon depicting the status of Texas Tech Football, and the fellow teams in the Southwest Conference, through their mascots. West also served as Lubbock's mayor for one term from 1978-1980.

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 the Saddle Tramps created Raider Red from a drawing by the late Lubbock cartoonist Dirk West as an alternative to the Masked Rider. 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. He changes from boots to high-top court shoes for basketball games. Raider Red fires his two 12-gauge shotguns using powder-filled shells after every Tech touchdown and field goal.

Reviews for "The health effects of consuming Magix masala lays in moderation"

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Magix masala lays. The flavor was way too overpowering and it tasted artificial. It had a strange aftertaste that I just couldn't get past. I expected more from this brand, but unfortunately, it fell short for me.

2. Amy - 1 star - The Magix masala lays were not my cup of tea. The flavor was way too spicy for my liking and it left a burning sensation in my mouth. I couldn't even finish the bag because it was just too intense. I would not recommend these to anyone who prefers milder flavors.

3. Mark - 2 stars - I found the Magix masala lays to be really underwhelming. The flavor was just average and didn't stand out compared to other masala-flavored chips I've had before. The texture was also a bit off-putting, it felt too greasy and artificial. Overall, I wasn't impressed with this snack.

4. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Magix masala lays, but unfortunately, they didn't live up to my expectations. The flavor was too strong and overbearing, it was as if they were trying too hard to make it taste like masala. I also found the chips to be overly salty, making it hard to enjoy them. I won't be buying these again.
