FOOTBALL

Looking forward Kingsbury, Mahomes look to produce in 2016

By BRANDON SOLIZ Sports Editor

E

ntering his fourth season, Texas Tech head football coach Kliff Kingsbury is eager to hit the field to see what his team can do in 2016.

The Red Raiders began practice in preparation of the upcoming season and Kingsbury said his team is made up of a majority of players he recruited.

“I think that in year four a majority of these players are players that we recruited,” Kingsbury said. “They understand our culture.

They’ve been with us.”

One standout player Kingsbury recruited and who started all 13 games last season is junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes II. Mahomes was one of the leading passers in the nation, finishing with 4,653 passing yards and 36 passing touchdowns, as well as rushing for 456 yards and 10 rushing touchdowns.

Those numbers excelled Mahomes’s play, as he became one of five quarterbacks in FBS history to have passed for 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns, and rushed for at least 450 yards and 10 touchdowns in one season.

Mahomes said he is excited to begin practice and wants his

teammates to bring it all once camp begins.

“I want everybody to go in focused, especially my teammates, the junior class,” Mahomes said. “We want to bring Texas Tech its first Big 12 Conference Championship and I have all the confidence that we can do that for this community.”

Mahomes also skipped playing baseball with the Big 12 Champion Red Raiders this season and Kingsbury said his presence in spring training was big to the team’s chemistry and start.

“I really saw his leadership qualities emerge,” Kingsbury said. “Overall, I would say he’s a much better quarterback, a much better leader and a much better teammate.”

The Red Raiders look to exceed their previous season, however, with guys like former wide receiver Jakeem Grant and former running back DeAndre Washington in the NFL, Mahomes will look to junior running back Justin Stockton and the deep wide receiving group for answers.

Stockton was a threat in the open field in 2015 but only managed to carry the ball 61 times compared to Washington’s 233.

Kingsbury said he will have to wait until game time to see if Stockton will be able to carry a workload like Washington.

“Justin (Stockton) is a great speed threat in the open field,” Mahomes said. “He has shoes to fill with DeAndre (Washington) gone, but I think he’ll be a great player this year, especially in the pass game.”

In 2015, Stockton rushed for 367 yards and 5 touchdowns, but was a threat in the backfield for Tech as a receiving back.

He caught a total of 22 passes for 341 yards from Mahomes.

Kingsbury said the team looks to utilize its high-powered offense and speed from guys like Stockton to score points as the defense is still young and developing.

Kingsbury, however, does believe the defense will be improved this fall campaign.

“I think it starts with (defensive coordinator David) Gibbs being in his second year and our players understanding what he’s about,” Kingsbury said. “We lost some really good players … but I think some of these young players have been waiting. They’re athletic, they’re tough, they’re hungry and they’re eager to change the culture of the defense.”

The Red Raiders will begin the 2016 season against Stephen F. Austin at 7 p.m. on Sept. 3 at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock.

ENROLLMENT

Summer enrollment numbers see growth C ompared to past years Texas Tech’s Office of the Registrar has seen a spike in enrollment numbers for students who are attending summer courses.

Overall the number has shot up from 31,561 credit hours in the summer of 2015 to 40,642 credit hours for 2016 registrar Bobbie Brown said.

One thing that has played a big part in creating this jump is the date students are able to register themselves

for summer classes, she said.

“We believe it is because instead of waiting until April to open up advanced registration for summer, we began registration for summer in November,” Brown said. “So that helped students plan ahead — you know, plan to keep a job or make sure they have living arrangements, those kinds of things.”

The Registrar’s office is given these numbers from Tech’s office of Institutional Research,

Brown said, who also report registration and credit hours to the state’s Higher Education Coordinating Board.

It was not until this year the office saw an increase in summer enrollment. Usually the number goes up maybe 200 to 400 students, however this year enrollment was up nearly 2,000 students from 2015, according to the institutional research fact book.

The idea to open up registration came from a conference

CITY

members of the registrar’s office attended, Brown said.

There was another school that opened up registration early and saw a 33 percent increase in enrollment, so they started asking questions.

“Because most students think, ‘oh I’m not going to be here during the summer.

I’m going to quit my job,’” Brown said. “And if they have enough time to plan and also (think), ‘Oh yeah, I think I’ll go to summer school’ — usu-

ally if you’re going to enroll in summer school, you’re more likely to stick to it.”

They were able to get this change through Tech’s academic council, she said, and all the students who they have talked to have responded well to the registration change.

This will now always happen on the first day of advanced registration for the spring which will open to most students, just depend-

ing on classification, on the first Thursday of November.

It is good to see enrollment numbers like these, Brown said, because it is also counted with the fall enrollment numbers which come into account when it comes to state funding.

“We’ve seen enrollment growth, even the semester credit hours — you know, that’s a huge jump from 31,000 to 40,000,” Brown said. @MichaelCantuDT

City swim season ending, Lubbock to host Wushu to host annual SplashFest Championships this week The swim season for City of Lubbock pools will end on Saturday, which includes Clapp Pool, Maxey Pool, Montelongo Pool and Simmons Pool.

Pools will remain open this week with normal hours of operation from 1-6 p.m., according to a City of Lubbock news release, and normal entrance fees.

On Sunday, Aug. 14 the Parks and Recreation department will host K-9 SplashFest at Clapp Pool, located at 46th Street and Avenue U, according to a City of Lub-

bock news release.

The event allows dogs and their owners to swim together and compete in different competitions. There will be several events for dogs to compete in, according to the news release, including a swimsuit competition, retrieving contest, diving contest and a 25-yard race.

Prizes for the competitions will be handed out, along with door prizes.

At K-9 SplashFest, $10 microchips will be available for dogs through the City of

Lubbock Animal Services according to the news release.

To participate in the event, dogs must have a current rabies vaccination with a 2016 rabies tag or a veterinarian certificate according to the news release. Admission fees for participants are $2 for people 17 and under and $2.50 for adults.

For more information about the event, people should contact the Parks and Recreation department at (806) 775-2670. @DailyToreador

The 11th Pan-American Wushu Championships will take place at City Bank Coliseum in Lubbock from Aug. 12-14 and is open to the public.

Thursday, Aug. 11 will serve as a team training and meeting day at City Bank Coliseum, according to the PAWC website, then actual competitions will take place through Sunday night.

The competition is the official Wushu championship for North and South America, according to the

website, and takes place every two years.

There are 23 member countries that compete in the championships, according to the website, and between 400-600 people are expected to compete.

The main competitions that will take place during the event are taolu and sanda according to the website. Taolu, commonly known as kung-fu, is a routine of choreographed, connected techniques of attack and defense, according to

the website, while sanda is an unarmed combat sport, much like Chinese freestyle kick boxing, in which participants use punching, kicking, throwing, wrestling and defensive techniques.

This event has been taking place since 1996, according to the website, and has only been hosted in the U.S. one other time.

George P. Bush, Jeb’s son, urges Republicans to back Trump AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Jeb Bush’s son, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, is urging Republicans to support the man who beat his dad in a fiercely fought GOP primary.

Addressing a closeddoor gathering of Texas Republican Party leaders on Saturday, Bush called for helping Donald Trump win

in November.

“From Team Bush, it’s a bitter pill to swallow. But you know what? You get back up and you help the man that won, and you make sure that we stop Hillary Clinton,” Bush said in a video first posted online by the Texas Tribune.

Bush declined further c o m m e n t M o n d a y. H e

has not publicly endorsed Trump and skipped last month’s Republican National Convention. His father, uncle and grandfather — former presidents George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush — have also refused to back Trump.

The younger Bush is in a tight spot. He is a rising star among Republicans in

Texas and beyond. Ignoring the GOP nominee could hurt his profile. Also, as chairman of the state party’s victory committee, he’s responsible for generating support for all Republicans.

But embracing Trump too much could be seen as betraying the rest of his family. In an interview with The Associated Press in

May, Bush said he hadn’t endorsed Trump because “I’ve got two boys that are 1 and 3 ... I want them to be able to look at the Oval Office and see the presidential seal and say, ‘That is somebody who I look up to.’ And right now, Donald Trump’s not satisfied that litmus test.”

Jeb Bush, a former Flor-

ida governor, was an early favorite in the Republican presidential race, but saw his polling numbers plummet amid a barrage of attacks from Trump.

George P. Bush became the first member of his famous political family to win his first election in 2014, easily taking Texas’ land commissionership.

Paxton’s leadership questionable at best I f I’m remembering my Texas government lessons correctly our governor, Lt. governor and attorney general all run separate campaigns and the winners get put together in the end.

I must admit, I’m not a big fan of Gov. Greg Abbott, however put beside Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Attorney General Ken Paxton the guy looks like St. Jude. Looking in from the outside I’m sure there is also questions into Texas leadership as Paxton continually tries to flaunt his non-existent superordinate status by pussyfooting his way around an ongoing investigation.

Paxton is currently facing three felony counts of securities law violations from accusations that he defrauded investors in 2011 to sell stock on behalf of an energy company while he was being compensated with 100,000 shares from the company, according to The Austin Statesman—

Michael Cantu is The DT’s news editor and a junior electronic media and communications major from New Deal.

this is where two felony counts come from.

The third comes from charges stating Paxton failed to register as an investment adviser representative with the state, according to The Dallas Morning News. All together this carries a maximum sentence of 99 years and tens of thousands of dollars in fines.

The way this whole thing is unfolding seems to err on the side of pure and utter fraudulence on behalf of Paxton. He is currently at his second attempt in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in Austin and trying to have all of his charges crumbled up and thrown out the window. This exhorta-

tion, however, seems to be going nowhere and his trial will more than likely start on time.

The indictment for this case came from a Collin County jury, which Paxton’s lawyers say was improperly impaneled according to The DMN. His legal team is also trying to use the argument that there was no wrong doing in this situation.

“Ken Paxton has been charged with a crime that simply doesn’t exist,” Attorney Bill Mateja said in an interview with The DMN. Basically his legal team has reached the point where they are asking for a do-over with all of the events that landed him in this spot — which is the way the law works right?

It seems Paxton is showing to the rest of the country and to the people he has dooped into voting for him his diminutive knowledge of the law. At this point I would

also like to remind you, once again, he is the Texas attorney general.

Basically his legal team has reached the point where they are asking for a doover with all of the events that landed him in this spot which is how the law works right?

My hope is Special Prosecutor Brian Wice is correct in saying his request falls extremely short of what is needed for a “do-over.”

Delaying a trial would also cost the taxpayers of Collin County possibly millions of dollars, an amount that does not seem to faze Paxton one bit.

For Paxton and his hu-

bristic crew this seems like walk in the park type of deal, but I think that is because he still does not know how the justice system actually works. They are trying to show that Paxton had no direct involvement in the case, according to The Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

His legal team says Paxton’s accepting of the money does not violate rules that would prohibit gifts from an entity.

In laymen’s terms, they are trying to prove when one is getting money from special interest when they are supposed to be a neutral party it is perfectly legal.

Paxton’s not even being supplicant, he is just trying to show that he is above the law and the way things are panning out I think he is in for a big reality check.

This needs to serve as a lesson to all who go into office thinking they are free from any and all legal infractions.

Trump’s economic speech disrupted by series of protests was hard to hear the women, but the group says they were yelling at Trump about jobs and his comments on women.

“It’s all very well planned out,” Trump said after security had led several protesters out.

One man also stood up toward the end of the event and yelled that Trump has “tiny hands.” That’s apparently a reference to a sexually tinged comment by primary rival Marco Rubio, the Florida senator.

Protesters occasionally disrupt Trump’s larger rallies, where members of the public

can enter. But this is the first time he’s faced such sustained resistance at a policy speech delivered to a private group.

He was speaking to the Detroit Economic Club and most people in attendance were club members or their guests.

Trump largely stayed on message as security removed the protests. He paused to let the disruption subside several times and occasionally continued speaking through protesters as the audience offered him applause and standing ovations.

people have far more energy and spirit,” Trump said after one woman was taken from the room.

Several audience members shouted “we love you, Trump” and other messages of support.

Outside the Cobo Center where Trump was speaking, hundreds of protesters gathered. Some held what appeared to be sections of white sheets with bricks and “No Borders” painted on them.

Another sign read: “Trump Demeans Women.” Scrawled on a small cardboard sign was: “Bikers Against Trump”.

DETROIT (AP) — At least a dozen women protested Donald Trump’s economic policy speech Monday by jumping up and shouting in a coordinated effort to disrupt the Republican presidential nominee’s remarks.

One at a time, women seated throughout the audience stood up and yelled “Mr. Trump,” but their continued shouts were quickly drowned out by boos as security led them from the room. An organization called the Michigan People’s Campaign is claiming responsibility. It

Hopefully, if there is any justice left in our legal system, he will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Paxton is currently showing the state and the country what kind of world we live in.

He is one of those who call for punishment to the fullest when it is someone not rich and privileged, but when his own interests are called into question along with the legality of his actions, a childish shoulder shrug and oops should be all that gets him out of trouble.

The outcome of this case will show us one of two things: Either Paxton does not know what the law is and the courts will show serve him some justice or he will come out of it a free man and justice for the rich and privileged — and only the rich and privileged — will prevail.

Let us all hope that it is the initial point.

The game will be televised on ESPNU, according to the Tech Athletics website, and will the seventh time the Red Raiders and Tigers have met on the court. Both teams have won three games in series history with each other, making the 2017 game a deciding matchup.

Last season Tech lost to Arkansas in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge, according to

the Tech Athletics website, making them 1-2 in challenge games. The team did not participate in 2015.

This year, Tech will look to defeat their SEC opponent with former Tech standout Toddrick Gotcher and former coach Tubby Smith. However, Norense Odiase, who had 14 points and seven rebounds against Auburn in 2014 according to the Tech Athletics website, will be returning for his junior season.

This is Tech’s second SEC/Big 12 Challenge that will be played at home, ac-

cording to the Tech Athletics website, with the last game being against Auburn in December 2014. That game was the Red Raiders only victory in the challenge, and was won with a layup from Devaugntah Williams in the last two seconds.

Tickets for the game and for the men’s basketball season can be purchased through the Tech Athletics Ticket Office at Jones AT&T Stadium or by phone at (806) 742-8324. For more information visit texastech.com. @DailyToreador

Brazilian taunt U.S. athletes over Zika RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — After months of dire predictions from abroad about the mosquito-borne Zika virus, some Brazilian fans are doing some stinging of their own: They’re booing U.S. athletes and taunting them over the fears that kept some competitors at home.

From the beach volleyball arena to the soccer stadium, boisterous Brazilian fans are having fun with what had been one of the biggest concerns heading into South America’s first Olympics.

The mockery began dur-

ing the first game by the U.S. women’s soccer team, when veteran goalkeeper Hope Solo was greeted by chants of “Zika!

Zika!” every time she touched the ball. The jeers were heard again Saturday during a 1-0 U.S. victory over France.

Solo, who irked Brazilians before coming to the Olympics by tweeting a photo of herself wearing a hat with mosquito netting and sporting a giant bottle of bug repellent, might seem an easy target.

Lauren Fendrick and Brooke Sweat didn’t stir any

controversy, or even make any comments about the virus, in the run-up to their match Sunday in women’s volleyball.

All the same, the two Olympic newcomers got rousing jeers of “Zika” from fans in bright green and yellow Brazilian jerseys every time they served against Poland.

“Solo has a lot of fans in Brazil and made a very derogative post on social media making fun of the country,” said Rodrigo Porto, a 37-year-old engineer. “Every time she kicks the ball, the whole stadium will scream back Zika at her.”

Porto says he took part in yet another round of Zikalaced taunts Saturday directed toward another American, defending Olympic beach volleyball champion Kerri Walsh Jennings.

“Brazilian fans are loving, but when they are disappointed and want to make fun of someone, they are relentless,” he said.

Not every American is getting booed. On Sunday, crowds cheered loudly for gymnast Simone Biles.

It would be hard to blame U.S. athletes or foreign tour-

ists for being worried about Zika, which can cause birth defects in babies born to mothers who have been infected.

In May, 150 health experts from several countries posted a letter to the World Health Organization calling for the games to be postponed or moved until more about the disease is known. That call came despite the fact that the Olympics are taking place in the Southern Hemisphere’s winter, which usually decimates the mosquito population.

The WHO has warned for months of a very low risk of

Zika spreading during the Rio Olympics. In addition to the low temperatures — August is Rio’s second-coldest month with average daytime highs of 79 degrees Fahrenheit (26 degrees Celsius) — many in Rio have developed immunities after living with the virus for about a year.

That stands in contrast to places where the virus is just now arriving. In Miami, at least 15 people are believed to have been infected through mosquito bites in what would be the first such cases in the mainland U.S.

Spats over doping dominate Olympic swimming RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Lilly King has her sights set on winning Olympic gold and she’s not about to let anyone get in her way, especially not world champion breaststroker Yulia Efimova of Russia.

King made that clear in a finger-wagging display after her 100-meter breaststroke win over the Russian, who has a history of doping. King pointedly disparaged the Russian after the event over her drug history, and the feud has helped make doping spats among swimmers an

intriguing subplot in the Rio Games so far.

A separate fight over doping between swimmers from Australia and China escalated on Monday, prompting officials from the two nations to join the fray. And the dispute between King and Efimova has the potential to grow as the two compete for a medal Monday night.

The source of the feuds is suspensions handed down to Efimova and Chinese swimmer Sun Yang, who served three months in 2014 over

a banned heart medication.

Efimova’s actions and punishment were more severe — she missed 16 months for doping and tested positive this year for the now-banned substance meldonium.

The positive meldonium test was placed on hold while world anti-doping officials conduct further studies on the drug.

“If that’s what she feels she needs to be able to compete, whatever, that’s her deal,” King told reporters.

“I’m here to compete clean

for the U.S. and that’s what I’m going to do.”

A smattering of boos greeted Efimova after she won her preliminary heat Sunday. The Russian men’s 4x100 freestyle relay was also booed when introduced for their final the same night.

For her part, Efimova waved a No. 1 finger after her semifinal Sunday, prompting King to do her own finger-wagging.

The dispute between King and Efimova went beyond the pool when officials from Australia and China got involved.

Alabama, SEC trying to stay in college football’s penthouse A postseason rampage put both Alabama and the Southeastern Conference back on top in college football last season.

Now, the trick will be staying there with three new coaches in the East and quarterback uncertainty across much of the league, including at ‘Bama.

The Crimson Tide is once again the team to beat in the league, and perhaps nationally, after claiming the SEC’s eighth national title in 10 seasons.

That broke a two-year drought for the league, which went 9-2 in the postseason counting the Tide’s playoff wins over Michigan State and Clemson.

Alabama defensive end Jonathan Allen doesn’t think coach Nick Saban will let complacency set in.

“The biggest thing at Alabama is that if you don’t have hunger,” Allen said, “then you’re not going to start this year.”

It’s a luxury afforded by a string of top-rated recruiting classes, even with an unproven backfield.

Tennessee and Mississippi, who have the SEC’s most accomplished returning passers in Joshua Dobbs and Chad Kelly, are trying to continue climbing the ranks.
