This was their first balloon festival, she said.

Milo Yiannopoulos to make first visit to Tech campus

Tech student provides new form of free transportation

By LINDA HARDWICKE Staff Writer

The Young Conservatives of Texas will host political pundit Milo Yiannopoulos from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. today in the Matador Room of the Student Union Building.

Yiannopoulos is a controversial figure in the realm of free speech.

He was previously scheduled to visit Texas Tech in April, according to a previous article from The Daily Toreador, but he had to cancel for personal reasons.

Yiannopoulos, tech editor for Breitbart, is scheduled to appear on at least 26 college campuses this fall as part of his Dangerous Faggot Tour, according to a Breitbart article. Tech will be his first stop.

Alec Wallace, a junior agricultural economics major from Lorenzo and chairman of Young Conservatives of Texas, said Yiannopoulos is someone who can help fight political correctness and will encourage the discussions of controversial issues. One of Young Conservatives of Texas’ primary goals is to fight political correctness.

“The great thing about Milo (Yiannopoulos) is, although his points, his points are controversial, always backed up with very good facts and everything. He YIANNOPOULOS always uses facts in his reasoning,” Wallace said.

According to the event’s Facebook page, the tickets are sold out, but there will be room to stand, Wallace said.

An example of political correctness is Safe Spaces, Wallace said. Though he does not believe they are violations of the First Amendment, such spaces stifle intellectual discussion. “(Yiannopoulos) has no college degree. He is a self-declared expert on free speech, and my whole thing is that he does not provide an educational experience on campus, but I still feel like he should be allowed to speak,” Reese Ramsey, a senior geography major from Petersburg and president of Tech’s Gay Straight Alliance, said.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media important for future careers, internships

By BRITTNI CLEMONS Staff Writer

As students prepare for their future by doublechecking their resumes and portfolios, they now also need to check their social media accounts before it is time for an interview.

The biggest thing a student can do right now is plan for a job or internship interview, Jay Killough, managing director for the University Career Center, said.

Getting interview skills, preparing resumes and working on portfolios are things students should start doing as soon as possible, Killough said, especially if they are graduating in May. “Social media can typically keep a student from getting a job, you know, if they have question able pictures or post that are inappropriate, but rarely does a social media site get students a job,” Killough said.

Killough said it is a one-way street. If a student has a clean profile, then it is a check mark for the employer.

Social media is a part of everyone’s lives, Bridges said. Students and jobseekers nowadays need

MILO

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Ramsey said Yiannopoulos should be allowed to speak on campus despite his disagreement with everything Yiannopoulos stands for.

“Our big issue is the use of the name of his college tour, but, as I said, it is considered

to be aware what they post online can be seen by potential employers, family, friends or anybody in the world.

“All the marketable skills that a student can control, like their portfolio or resume, should be ready, so that way whenever it does come time to apply for a job, you got that resume ready, you got those interviews skills brushed up and polished, so all you have to do is apply for a job and hopefully get an interview,” he said.

Beth Bridges, chairwoman for the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce and property manager at the South Plains Mall, said she believes students should have portfolios, cover letters and resumes that match their social media accounts.

Additionally, students need to research and know what companies and positions they are applying for, so they can speak fluently about them during interviews, Bridges said.

“I’ve known colleagues that had people who applied for the job, and when they came in for an interview, they didn’t know what the company was about or admitted that they have not done any research, and

that’s a pretty fast way to have cut an interview,” Bridges said.

When students are in college, academics play a role in determining their future jobs, she said. However, the activities students participate in are equally important, especially when they do not have experience in the desired fields.

Employers like to see what the student’s social area is, Bridges said. Getting involved shows the student has gone above and beyond academics.

“Get involved and during the interview, be sure to talk about everything you have done,” Bridges said. “Interning at businesses or volunteering at places that is for your particular major area is great, too. You need to go that extra mile, and show that extra commitment by toning your skills and rounding out your experiences.”

Killough said social media could typically keep a student from getting hired or even setting up an interview.

Although most companies claim they do not look at potential employees’ social media, surveys indicate otherwise, he said.

It is best to talk to the recruiters because they probably look at social media.

“Go back on your social

media and take a look and see if anything on your page is inappropriate for a potential employer then remove it if you feel like you need to,” Bridge said. “Social media

can certainly play a role when it comes to getting a job. I read some statistics that many employers do look at profiles.”

free speech,” he said.

Ramsey said there were moments in his childhood where the word “faggot” was used as a joke. When he was a freshman at Tech, someone chased him down his residence hall at around 3 a.m., yelling the homophobic slur behind him. “(Yiannopoulos) self-identifies as gay. And he says that he chose to be gay,” Ramsey

said. “A lot of people argue that people are reclaiming (the f-word). And there are people within the LGBT community that are reclaiming that word, but I would not say a majority.”

When the Young Conservatives of Texas planned to host Yiannopoulos last semester, it advertised the event using the name of the tour, Wallace said. Because

of this, several students said they felt unsafe.

The GSA will not protest the event, Ramsey said. The group does not to add to the divisiveness of the event.

“No one was threatened by that language or whatever. That’s why I’m so skeptical of saying that words are threatening. Words are just words. As the old saying goes, sticks and stones may

break my bones, but words will never hurt me,” Wallace said. “If you are physically threatened — that’s when you need to start feeling unsafe. If someone is threatening you over the internet — but if you are physically threatened or anything — that’s when you should start to feel unsafe and everything.”

Frat shooting injures guard AUSTIN (AP) — Officials say a security guard was injured in a shooting at a fraternity house near the University of Texas at Austin after a person who was asked to leave a party there returned and an altercation ensued.

Officials say the security guard was shot early Sunday at the Sigma Chi house, located off-campus.

The Austin Police Department said the security guard was taken to the hospital with injuries were not life-threatening.

Police say the suspect or suspects weren’t at the scene and no arrests have been made.

Police say it seems to be an isolated incident and there’s “no reason to believe there is any further threat to the public.”

UT said in a statement that they will offer counseling and support to students who were at the party or affected by the incident.

Apple Butter Festival benefits local charity

By DAVID GAY L a Vida Editor

Every year on the second weekend of September, The Orchard hosts the annual Apple Butter Festival in Idalou.

T h i s f e s ti v a l b r i n g s students and community members together to pick apples and enjoy the entertainment while raising money and awareness for the Texas Boys Ranch.

The Apple Butter Festival consists of different entertainment options, apple picking and activities for the family.

Samuel Jones, a senior construction engineering major from San Antonio, came to the Apple Butter Festival with his girlfriend as well as some of his other friends.

Jones said he came to enjoy the apple butter and the scenery of the festival. “(The festival is) a great and peaceful way to spend time with friends and not having to worry about anything,” he said.

M o r e o v e r, d i f f e r e n t community members and student organizations

helped volunteer for the festival. Caitlin Stout, a senior mathematics major from Houston, volunteered through Miller Girls, a service sorority.

Stout said she enjoys volunteering for festivals like the Apple Butter Festival because she likes to see the locals come out and have fun.

Victoria Corral, a junior business marketing major from Allen, volunteered for the festival through the Women’s Service Organization. Corral said this was her first time at the festival, and she was excited to attend. “(The festival is) a great event,” Corral said.

“It brings a lot of families out. It’s good to have everyone here together.”

Tucker Crawford, the owner of The Orchard, said the volunteers are what pulls the festival off. The money the volunteers are helping save is going straight to the Texas Boys Ranch.

Crawford said the festival is not for Idalou, Lubbock or even The Orchard.

The festival is solely for the Boys Ranch. “(The Boys Ranch) is the main focus of the festival,” Crawford said. “At any point in time, they have about 100 kids that have been abused or neglected. They bring them in and put them in a family situation. They are a nonprofit and everything we generate goes directly to them. It will go to fund certain projects like, this year, it will go to fund a new freezer.”

Last year, the Apple Butter Festival raised $10,400 for the Boys Ranch. Crawford said he wants the festival to raise $18,000 this year.

Corral said she thinks volunteering in the community is important. It is important to not only

“Volunteering is a universal thing,” Corral said.

“It’s really important to go anywhere someone needs a helping hand. You get a sense of community when you volunteer. You know

that you are helping out others. It’s more of a selfless act to be with people who need help.” @DavidGayDT

Paul said his wife inspired him to attend Tech.

After she followed him around the world for his military service, Paul felt it was his turn to follow her this time.

Paul had never heard of Lubbock or Tech and had never considered moving to Texas, he said.

Currently, students can see Paul riding around campus giving students free rides to wherever they need to go.

Kanye West performs at Fashion Week NEW YORK (AP) — Kanye West brought his “Saint Pablo Tour” to the small stage at a New York Fashion Week party, where he performed under smoky, dark lights and ended his set with some outspoken words, per usual.

More petty cabs could help students get where they need to go faster and give students much needed time when they have to walk across campus, Millican said.

Paul is hoping to start his own petty cab business off campus that will be called Benny Bike Taxi, he said.

Paul hopes to run his business in a co-op style with every petty cab operator being a part-owner of the business, he said.

Paul said promoting petty cab as a viable form of transportation is the key to his business.

“I anticipate becoming the bike taxi guy here in Lubbock,” he said. “We are the biggest city in Texas that doesn’t have (a petty cab service).”

Aside from starting his new business, Paul said he is also consulting for the Student Government Association on a bill that will bring more petty cabs to Tech and have them operated by students for students around campus.

“I think it’s a great idea,” Courtney Castler, an incoming student from Amsterdam, New York, said. “It’s economically friendly, it’s a good workout, and it’s a fun ride.”

As a soon-to-be stud e n t o f Te c h f r o m a nother state, Castler said she found taking a ride with Paul around campus helped her learn where everything is and enabled her to meet new people.

Student realizes home is where his dog is W hen I think of home, there are a few things that come

to mind.

I picture my big queen size bed, overstuffed with two standard pillows and a whopping four decorative pillows.

I imagine myself comfortable, laid-back and cushioned, not worrying at all whether the children who live in my apartment complex will set off fireworks outside my window again.

I think of my dark brown roll-top desk. I imagine myself nose-deep in my civil procedures book with a legal pad and a blue Pilot G-2 pen to my right and a cold glass of Jim Beam and ginger ale to my left.

The first thing I always think of is my dog. I got my dog, Sinclair, from a shel-

ter in San Antonio during Thanksgiving break three years ago. He was the first dog that I ever solely owned and was responsible for.

I named him during my snooty American literature phase in college, and thankfully he’s never held it against me.

Sinclair is a 20-pound black labrador mix with blue eyes, a speckled-white belly, painted white paws and ears that are too small for his head.

He’s energetic. He can go all day catching Frisbees and sometimes exhausts himself chasing squirrels in the yard.

He’s social and loves playing with other dogs.

However, he’s also the most whiny and passive dog you’ll ever meet. Any sign of a fight at the dog park has Sinclair running quickly to hide behind me. He’ll whine for 30 minutes straight if I don’t let him in from the yard when he wants to. He cries if I don’t pet him at least once every hour of the day.

My dog has two emotions: one is so happy he’s insane and the second is crushingly disappointed. Both emotions can be summed up by when I put on my shoes.

If I put on my shoes and say the word “walk” or I grab his leash, his mind goes into a tailspin, only to be brought back by euphoria and joy, revealed by heavy tail wagging and jumping.

If I put on my shoes and leave the house without

him, I can look back at the window and see the saddest creature on the earth, one that truly believes I’ve abandoned him forever.

This occurred every morning I stepped outside to bring in the paper.

I had to leave Sinclair in San Antonio with my parents. My dog that bothered me every night as I worked on essays for class.

He destroyed a tissue box any time he ever found one.

He had me bathe him in the yard with a hose every time he chased and got sprayed by a skunk in my neighborhood, which was at least twice a month.

Now, all of this is what I miss most in my home. I miss my dog. I miss him jumping in the bed when I tell him not to. I miss him hiding in the

bathtub when it’s thundering outside. I miss how much women liked me when I was with my dog.

It didn’t take me long to realize how much I valued having my dog at home. It’s probably crazy that I didn’t realize sooner.

I like my apartment; it’s my favorite place to be and it’s where you’ll find me if I’m not at the law school or at The Daily Toreador office.

The only issue is that my dog isn’t there.

For me, my dog is a model of certainty and consistency in my life where it often isn’t easy to find either.

I think as students, a lot of us are at a point where it isn’t always easy to know what’s best or what we hope to accomplish; I think we all came to Tech

to figure that out.

These traits, I assume, are not exclusive to students.

I imagine uncertainty and inconsistency come naturally for all of us looking to learn and grow.

However, sometimes I want balance. My dog is always sure and steady. He is an unwavering ball of energy, love and companionship.

Even now, he’s exactly the same as I left him, overwhelmingly excited by walks, sleeping on furniture he’s not supposed to be on and enjoying himself outside in my parent’s yard.

However, I’m sure he’s happy I just went to Texas Tech and didn’t leave him forever when I went outside to get the paper. ravila@dailytoreador.com

Foreign music beautiful even without translation

M

y discovery of international music was somewhat serendipitous. In high school, I decided to try out some French music.

My initial goal was to improve my listening skills, but I quickly fell in love with a plethora of French singers like Indila, Soprano and Edith Piaf.

As I explored this new genre of music, I began to listen to artists from other French-speaking countries, as well. Stromae, a Belgian pop star, and Maître Gims, a Congolese rapper, became some of my favorite artists of all time.

I love international music deeply and, despite the language barriers, I feel a strong connection with many foreign singers. My love for French music expanded my horizons to a variety of other

genres such as Russian folk music, Pakistani pop and Hebrew rap.

One of the albums I enjoy, “Russian Gypsy Soul,” features a variety of folk singers. The music itself is a masterpiece of mournful melodies. Some songs are eerie and downright haunting, but they are all beautiful, nonetheless.

Most of the songs are in minor keys, which typically sound sad. A few songs are written in major keys, which usually give the tunes a happier feeling.

However, even the happiest songs still have themes of sorrow. In one song which roughly translates to “And I Shall Tell You at the End” — a grief-

stricken woman sings about living in a broken relationship.

Many songs are sung in a style much like opera, such as one that basically translates to “Again I Hear.” This album has a very earthy feel which makes it a perfect companion for chilly autumn evenings.

Another favorite genre is Pakistani pop. Quite different from Russian folk music, Pakistani pop incorporates the use of drums, like the clay-made nagara. I love the sounds of Pakistani music, especially the vocals.

The genre can be sung in any of the regional languages of Pakistan: Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi, Balochi, and Pashto.

My favorite Pakistani singer, Nazia Iqbal, sings primarily in Pashto. She possesses very nimble vocals and can easily alternate between high and low notes.

Social justice is injustice

S

ocial justice is assumed by many to be a generally positive idea.

It drives society in a “progressive” direction.

However, in reality, the social justice movement is an insidious and divisive crusade that is driving our country and, indeed, the Western world in a dangerous direction.

In fact, the very idea of social justice is a perversion of the traditionally held concept of justice.

As a student, you have no doubt encountered others who associate themselves with a social justice movement, whose supporters are often called “social justice warriors.” Many proudly identify as social justice warriors, despite the obvious pejorative intent of the term.

This stunning lack of self-awareness is very funny. It is also characteristic of the entire social justice movement. By this, I mean most social justice warriors are extremely privileged and have no idea about the struggles of the groups that they claim to represent.

People associated with the social justice movement praise individualism and probably even tout their own individuality as a driving and creative force in their lives.

Yo u m i g h t e v e n n o tice their edgy haircuts, cut-off skinny jeans and assorted piercings as evidence of their keen belief in individualism.

Jake Wischkaemper is a senior history major from Lubbock.

The reality, however, is there is not one original thought in this person’s head.

The social justice movement is rooted in collectivist thinking. As such, SJWs do not see the world through the lens of individual justice or individual liberty. In fact, there is another term for social justice.

It is group justice.

Group justice is, in fact, the opposite of individual justice, which is a foundational idea in American society. It is the refusal to evaluate things like guilt or innocence on an individual basis that makes this movement especially dangerous.

Imagine a world and a legal system in which you might be held criminally liable for the behavior of another person, simply because you belong to the same group as they do.

The Black Lives Matter movement is perhaps the most prominent example of a social justice movement in the United States today. In a recently published manifesto, the group demands monetary reparations for slavery. This is the epitome of group justice opposing individual justice.

Who would pay these reparations? Certainly not the individuals responsible.

These reparations would

rhyme very quickly and skillfully. I listen to Hebrew rap regularly, and I love sharing it with my friends who are often amazed by its unique sound and catchy beat.

What began as a quest for French music turned into a journey filled with wonderful musical discoveries.

International music opens the mind and nourishes the human soul.

It connects us to parts of the world we’ve never seen or experienced. Most importantly, it brings us together.

You might not speak Russian, Hebrew or any of the Pakistani languages. I sure don’t.

However, it’s truly amazing when you can feel an emotional connection with a song, even if you can’t understand the words. hdeeter@dailytoreador.com

I love the flow of Hebrew rap. The words coalesce into a collection of colorful rhymes that are occasionally sprinkled with English profanities. The composition of French, Russian, British and American rap are all very similar. Most songs use computers to generate the beats and tempos.

Hebrew rap, on the other hand, uses traditional Middle Eastern sounds while still integrating American-style rap rhythms. The result is a wonderfully catchy tune with a unique sound.

My favorite Hebrew rapper, Subliminal, often raps about hope and unity. The chorus in his song, “Tivka” — which translates to “Hope” — is sung by a choir.

This gives the anthem a spiritual aura.

Subliminal’s voice is deep and ominous, and he can

come directly out of the pockets of American tax payers.

BLM, a group that has endorsed the murder of police officers, incited race riots and burned entire neighborhoods in major American cities, holds every person with white skin responsible for racial injustices, past and present.

This domestic terrorist organization assumes full SJW form when addressing the public, speaking from the pulpit of undeserved and fictitious moral superiority.

BLM has come to embody modern social justice movements with its unjust and frivolous demands, justification for heinous acts of violence and moral depravity.

While I am happy to say BLM does not seem to have a powerful presence on Texas Tech campus, be assured, they will come.

Do not allow this hategroup to inundate our university or our society. Resist their brand of racial hatred and moral degeneracy. We must realize that in a free society, there cannot be such a thing as group justice.

A just society must evaluate matters of innocence and guilt on an individual basis. To evaluate innocence or guilt with respect to entire groups of people is absurd.

The prevalence of this perverted sense of justice is, however, an unfortunate reality thanks to social justice movements like Black Lives Matter.

PUBLISHING INFORMATION

While Iqbal incorporates traditional Pakistani instruments, she also gives her songs a pop flavor by using auto-tune.

Even though I don’t know a single word in Pashto, I can still feel the emotion conveyed in Iqbal’s melodies.

Some songs seem celebratory, and other songs feel sad. Almost all of them, however, carry upbeat rhythms.

I enjoy listening to Pakistani pop when I’m jogging or working out.

Another great workout genre is rap. I love all kinds of rap—French rap, Russian rap, British rap and, of course, American rap.

My favorite rap genre of all time, though, is Hebrew rap.

The Hebrew language itself amazes me.

It’s old. It’s complex. The fact the people can rap in it blows my mind.

Experts discuss student weight gain

By HALEY DAVIS Staff Writer

On college campuses all across the country, obesity and student weight gain are as common as degrees.

The “freshman 15” is more real than ever to the point that obesity coalitions are taking steps toward weight gain prevention.

Auburn University researchers studied a group of 131 students over their four years of college and found 70 percent gained a significant amount of weight before graduation, according to the News Health website.

Debra Reed is a Texas Tech nutritional sciences graduate adviser as well as a registered dietitian and nutritionist. Reed said when students enter college, they are more responsible for their lifestyles than they were when they lived at home.

“Some students are active in high school sports, but they don’t engage in those at the college level,” Reed said.

“Or students didn’t observe healthy lifestyle behaviors in their home and simply don’t know how to prepare food.”

Though weight gain affects students of every classification, one in four freshmen gains an average of about 10 pounds in his/her first semester, according to WebMD. The college students who gained weight also gained weight much faster than the general population.

Emmy Trammell, a licensed dietitian who provides weekly nutrition counseling to students with the Center for the Study of Addiction and Recovery, said when she was in college, moving out of the freshman dorms gave her

the opportunity to learn to prepare her own meals.

“In the dorm cafeterias, there’s either fried chicken and ice cream is sold by the pint,” Trammell said. “Or you could get a salad. What are you going to choose?”

Some of the common reasons behind weight gain in college include less physical activity, late night studying and snacking, skipping breakfast, sleep deprivation and all-you-can-eat dining facilities on a majority of campuses, according to WebMD. Reed said when she attended college, fast food and on-campus dining were nearly as accessible.

I think the term ‘freshman 15’ has the potential to screw with people mentally.

EMMY TRAMMELL LICENSED DIETITIAN “We didn’t have this conscious effort to be physically active,” Reed said. “Most people didn’t have cars, so we walked everywhere. We also didn’t eat out as much due to economics at the time. The availability of processed, highcalorie foods makes it easier to make the unhealthy choice.”

A study of 800 undergraduate students conducted at the University of New Hampshire found that 60 percent of men had high blood pressure and more than one-third of women did not meet nutritional needs, according to the Science Daily website.

“Even if a student looks like the picture of health on

the outside, weight isn’t the only concern,” Reed said.

“More students are struggling with high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes than ever before. It’s the things that follow being overweight or obese that can cause problems.”

The research conducted

by Dr. Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler of Harvard Medical School suggested obesity trends are also a result of students being embedded in social networking

Springsteen breaks record for longest US show PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band just don’t want to leave the stage.

Wednesday night’s concert at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia lasted nearly four hours, four minutes, breaking the previous record for the group’s longest U.S. show set last week.

Philadelphia Daily News sports statistician and Springsteen fan Bob Vetrone Jr. clocked the show at four hours, three minutes, 46 seconds.

The band played four hours Aug. 30 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

The Boss’ longest show in the world was four hours, six minutes in Helsinki, Finland, in 2012.

Springsteen’s 75-show U.S. and European The River Tour wraps up with a show in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Sept. 14.

a social group could have an affect on students’ perception of body-image.

“I am the largest sibling among my four sisters and I’ve found that the worse I feel about myself, the harder it is to be around them,” Trammell said. “The bigger that I feel, the more I notice the girls around me who have flat stomachs. We tend to notice the people around us that have what we want more when we’re feeling self-conscious.”

BALLOON

Dayton Perry, a junior accounting major from Keller, said she and her boyfriend were planning to go swimming at Buffalo Springs Lake that morning, but she found the event and chose to see the launch instead.

“I think it’s really cool that we can walk up here and see them setting them up, because I don’t know how hot air balloons work,” Kaley Stevenson from Austin said. “It’s kind of cool to see how they do it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hot air balloon up close.”

Stephen Bavosett, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from Dallas, said he was at the festival the night before. The hot air balloons were filled with yellow flames that made them light up instead of blue flames that make them take off.

Bavosett said his personal connections with hot air balloons helped him appreciate them more.

“I attended my first balloon festival when I was 9 days old; my parents actually ended up getting married in a balloon, so that was just a really cool thing,” he said. “I

“It only takes one person in a group to initiate a change,” Reed said. “My advice is to enlist the support of your friends and use the social aspect in a positive way.”

Trammell said the ebb and flow of trying to fit into

Reed said students have brought to her attention that healthier choices on campus as well as extended hours for those that already exist would go a long way.

“We should be infusing food availability with whole grain products and fruits and vegetables at competitive prices,” Reed said. “It’s also about time management. One philosopher said that you either take the time to be healthy or you must take time to be sick.”

Trammell said it is important to remember weight gain in college can also be the result of pubertal changes and normal body development.

“I think the term ‘freshman 15’ has the potential to screw with people mentally,” Trammell said. “I think that weight gain should be acknowledged but in a different light. There’s a reason you don’t fit in the junior clothing section forever, and there should be a certain level of acceptance of all the lifestyle changes students are going through in college.”

The Obesity Action Coalition lists multiple tips on its website to help students maintain a healthy weight during their college years, including: making it about health instead of looks, starting the day with a good breakfast and avoiding mindless eating while studying.

Hospitality Services at Tech also has nutrition information and tips on its website available for students.

“Learning how to lead a healthy lifestyle is just as important as the academics of college,” Reed said. “Your preparing to be a professional so that one day you can be a productive and healthy employee.”

Red Raiders go 4-0 in home tournament

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

Playing host to its only home tournament of the season, the Texas Tech volleyball team defeated all four of its opponents over the weekend.

Overall, coach Tony Graystone said he felt pleased with Tech’s performance throughout its home tournament.

“I felt like we had different challenges each match,” Graystone said.

“We had different players who stepped up individually and did a good job.”

A sweep over the Abilene Christian Wildcats opened the tournament for the Red Raiders Friday afternoon in the United Supermarkets Arena.

Against the Wildcats, Tech’s offense hit for .507, its fourth-highest hitting percentage in program history, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

From a defensive standpoint, Tech handled the Wildcat attack as its opponent hit for .076 in the match. Tech allowed just nine points in the first-set, 10 in the second and 16 in the third.

Tech then followed its winning performance Friday night by defeating Stephen F. Austin 3-1.

A 15-25 first-set loss placed the Red Raiders behind, but they went on to take the second-set 25-21, the third 25-15 and final set 25-12.

Senior middle blocker Lauren Douglass led the comeback win by hammering 17 kills and blocking 10 attack attempts to register a double-double.

SFA, which opened the match hitting .200, could not surpass the .100 mark as it recorded a positive hitting percentage of .026 in the second set, but mustered negative hitting percentages in the final two sets.

Tech started the final day of its home tournament with 3-0 sweep over the UTRGV Vaqueros Saturday afternoon.

Coming in to face UTRGV, a team which defeated Baylor in its opening week, prepared the Red Raiders mentally to expect a tough matchup, Douglass said.

“I think the fact that we knew they beat Baylor, it fired us up more,” Douglass said.

“We went in knowing it was going to be hard, and I think we played well.”

Throughout the initial set, UTRGV’s defense hindered the Red Raiders’ attempts to build extended offensive runs as Tech’s largest run amounted to just three consecutive points.

With just two points left for the set-point, Tech carried a 23-21, but the two-point deficit disappeared for the Vaqueros with a pair of pints coming from attacking errors by the Red Raiders.

On a point started on a UTRGV serve with the score at 23-23, Douglass started Tech’s closure of the set by connecting a kill down the middle and dropping an ace on UTRGV’s side of the court for a 25-23 first set win.

Tech’s troubles to create distance continued on into the second set as each of its points received an immediate answer from the Vaqueros.

After finding itself in a 23-22 deficit, Tech pushed the set into extra points by landing a pair of kills and benefitting from two attack errors for a 26-24 finish.

Despite going on a 6-1 run, its largest of the match, Tech found its way closely battling UTRGV in the third set.

Tech’s largest lead of the match came with the score at 11-5, but the Vaqueros chipped away their deficit and tied the match at 17-17.

A 5-1 run by the Red Raiders, however, gave Tech a 22-18 lead.

Needing just three more points for the win, Tech avoided a UTRGV resurgence, and sophomore Katy Keenan sealed the match with a kill down the middle.

Despite registering only 9 kills compared to the Golden Eagles’ 14, Tech pulled a 25-19 finish to first-set by benefitting from seven service errors.

In the second set, however, Tech bumped its first set hitting percentage of .250 to .526 in a 25-12 win.

Although it increased its kill total of the firstset by just a couple in the second-set, the team played a nearly flawless set as it registered just one error. Down 2-0, Oral Roberts staved off losing the match by outlasting Tech in the third in a 2520 win.

“I think our block got better, especially communicating to each other making blockers go straight up and down,” Douglass said.

A 6-2 run to start the set gave way for Oral Roberts to crack the score open, and until the Red Raiders tied the set 19-19, the Golden Eagles led by as much as five points.

Oral Roberts broke the tie with a kill, and with an ace, couple of Tech attack errors and two kills, the Golden Eagles closed the set.

Oral Roberts looked ready to frustrate Tech by tying the set 11-11, but a 12-2 surge by the Red Raiders crushed the Golden Eagles’ intent.

A kill and an ace from

Douglass completed the tournament for the Red Raiders and moved their record to 9-2.

Ending with only 13 errors against the Golden Eagles, Graystone said the team played up to what they have worked toward.

“That’s kind of been our theme so far. We’ve really stressed on keeping the

ball in play and protecting the ball,” he said. “We had a couple that we kind of gave away, but for the most part I was happy with it.”

Tech moves on in its non-conference portion of the schedule by facing Rice at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Tudor Fieldhouse. @DGaytanDT

HOUSTON (AP) — J.J. Watt was back on the field in Houston’s 23-14 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, but not quite back to form after missing the entire preseason following back surgery.

“I’m knocking a little bit of rust off, and I think as we move forward here I’ll start to feel fully like myself again,” he said. “But there’s definitely some things I wish I could have done differently today.”

Coach Bill O’Brien wasn’t surprised at how Watt looked and thought he improved as the game progressed.

“I think it’s hard when you haven’t practiced in a long time or played in a game in a long time,” O’Brien said. “I thought at the end there, he was really revving. He was going pretty good.”

Watt said he didn’t feel any lingering effects from the surgery he had in July to repair a herniated disk and he played about as much as he

normally does. But the man who has won NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year the last two seasons and three of the last four wasn’t the gamechanger he has routinely been in the past.

“Physically my body feels fine,” he said. “I just need to get back into fully being myself out there and trusting my body and letting my body take over and do what it knows how to do.”

While Watt, who led the NFL with 17 ½ sacks last season, didn’t sack Jay Cutler on Sunday, he did register three hits on the quarterback. Watt’s teammates sacked Cutler five times, with Whitney Mercilus getting two and Jadeveon Clowney, Josh Simon and Andre Hal tallying one each.

Watt enjoyed watching his teammates get after Cutler and can’t wait to see what Houston’s defensive front will be able to do once he’s back to full strength.

Patrick Mahomes II attempts to get around a Stephen F. Austin defender during the Red Raiders’ game on Sept. 3 at Jones AT&T Stadium.

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

Texas Tech will look to improve its run defense before facing Louisiana Tech on Saturday after allowing 301-rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns to the Arizona State Sun Devils in a 68-55 loss this past Saturday.

Junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes II finished the game with 38 pass completions on 53 attempts, 540 passing yards, five passing touchdowns, two interceptions, 44 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.

Junior receiver Cameron Batson finished the game with nine receptions for 148 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.

ASU scored the first touchdown of the game with

quarterback Manny Wilkins throwing a pass to N’Keal Harry for 10 yards.

Tech answered back the next drive with Mahomes rushing into the end zone for one yard, tying the game at 7-7 with 7:12 left in the first quarter.

On Tech’s next drive, a punt from ASU punter Matt Haack put the Red Raiders on their own one-yard line.

A botched snap then led to ASU scoring a safety, making the score 9-7 in favor of ASU. After the Sun Devils’ drive, they put the Red Raiders back deep in their own territory by putting them on their own two-yard line.

However, a 59 yard pass from Mahomes to junior receiver Derrick Willies led to a touchdown, putting Tech in the lead 14-9 with 1:14 left in

the first quarter.

ASU answered back in the second quarter with a oneyard rush for a touchdown from running back Kalen Ballage, putting ASU back up 16-14.

On the next drive, Mahomes threw to junior running back Justin Stockton on a screen pass that turned into a 75-yard touchdown, the lead switching yet again with Tech ahead, 21-16. Stockton finished the game with three receptions for 95 receiving yards, one receiving touchdown and one rushing touchdown.

ASU quickly answered back in the next drive from a 39-yard touchdown pass from Wilkins to Ballage, giving the lead back to ASU 23-21 with 11:18 left in the first half.

Later in the second quarter, Ballage scored another

touchdown on a one yard run to extend ASU’s lead to 30-21 with 8:30 left in the half.

Mahomes then threw his third touchdown pass of the game to junior receiver Dylan Cantrell for 11 yards. After a missed PAT from Clayton Hatfield, ASU’s lead was trimmed to 30-27 with 5:21 left in the half.

The Sun Devils extended their lead in the next drive with Ballage scoring a fouryard touchdown run, bringing the lead up to 37-27 for ASU. However, Mahomes then threw his fourth touchdown of the game to sophomore receiver Jonathan Giles to close the gap to 37-34 with ASU still in the lead. Giles finished the game with nine receptions for 71 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.

To start off the second

half, Stockton scored a rushing touchdown to give Tech the lead 41-37 with 11:45 left in the third quarter.

To answer, Ballage scored another rushing touchdown to bring back the lead for ASU, 44-41. In the Sun Devil’s next drive, they extended their lead to 51-41 with 43 seconds left in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Mahomes threw his first interception of the season, which resulted in ASU scoring another touchdown, bringing their lead up to 58-41 with 10:57 left in the game.

Sophomore running back DeMarcus Felton scored to answer back, making the score 48-58 with ASU still in the lead.

Ballage, however, responded by running 75 yards for a touchdown, extending

ASU’s lead to 65-48.

Mahomes then passed to Batson for a 66-yard touchdown that trimmed ASU’s lead to 65-55. For the final score of the game, ASU kicker Zane Gonzalez scored a field goal to make the game 68-55.

In the next drive, Mahomes threw his second interception of the game.

Ballage ended the night with 137 yards on 13 carried and seven rushing touchdowns. With an added receiving score, Ballage tied an FBS record for most touchdowns in a single game with eight total scores.

Next up for the Red Raiders is a home matchup against Louisiana Tech in the annual Cotton Game at 6 p.m. Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium. @JackDensmoreDT

Red Raiders go undefeated over weekend

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Staff Writer

The No. 22 Texas Tech soccer team had a successful weekend facing Oral Roberts on Friday at the John Walker Soccer Complex and Appalachian State on Sunday in Boone, North Carolina.

In both matches, the Red Raiders played the field well, beating the Golden Eagles 1-0 and the Mountaineers 2-1.

Friday’s game against ORU was a shutout for Tech, which needed the momentum-boosting win before the team went on the road. In the first half, both teams struggled to get on the board and remained scoreless.

Tech attempted to get on the board fast with a chance by freshman forward Tatum Barton, but her effort down the field was short lived as ORU defenders took the ball away.

Barton was able to get another chance at the net with a setup by junior defender Rebekah O’Brien, but the kick was too long and taken by the Golden Eagles.

Tech had its first shot attempt from junior defender Cassie Conarty who moved past a handful of ORU defenders for an open shot. Her opportunity at the net went right into the hands of ORU goalie Ryliegh Bohnenstiehl.

The Golden Eagles came back with an attempt of their own from Megan Guico, but her shot at the net went far wide of senior goalie Lauren Watson.

The Red Raiders continued to keep up the momentum in the first half with

another attempt at the net.

The corner kick by sophomore defender Margaret Begley set up an open look for freshman forward Jade King, but her shot was saved

by Bohnenstiehl.

With 10 minutes left in the first half, both teams tried to get on the board, but the last shot attempt of the half came from the Red Raiders.

Junior defender Rebekah O’Brien connected with the ball and attempted a header, but the ball lacked sufficient curve and went wide of the net.

Both teams went into the locker room having no luck getting on the board. At the end of the first half, Tech had more opportunities with five shot attempts. The Golden Eagles could only come up with three shot attempts.

Not even a minute into the second half, Tech scored what would be the only goal of the game.

With the assist by Begley, sophomore midfielder Jordan Duke headed the ball past the ORU goalie and into the net to gain the lead for the Red Raiders 1-0.

Duke said her goal that secured the win was a momentum booster after a hard loss last weekend to Cal 4-0.

“I think this is a real positive, especially because last weekend was pretty rough for us,” Duke said.” It’s all about how you respond.”

The Red Raiders had several open looks at the net that should have extended the lead. Junior forward Natalie Schmutz tried to leave her mark on the game, but both of her shot attempts were saved

by ORU defenders.

A free kick awarded to Tech was a promising opportunity to get on the board again. O’Brien had a hard kick just outside of the box that seemed to be going in the net, but the shot was just short of extending the lead and hit the crossbar, bouncing back to ORU defenders.

When time ran out, the Golden Eagles could not come up with a goal to go into overtime and gave the Red Raiders the win 1-0.

The Golden Eagles only allowed the Red Raiders one goal in the 90 minutes of play.

Duke said he attributes that to the way ORU was able to maneuver on the field.

“They knocked the ball around a lot more than other teams we’ve played,” Duke said. “I think it was good that we pressed higher.”

Tech coach Tom Stone assessed his team’s win by its ability to gain momentum in the second half of the game.

“I think the first 20 minutes of the second half is what turned the game in our favor,” Stone said. “We really pushed up the field and turned over the players a few times. One of those times turned into a corner kick, and Jordan Duke hammered it home for the win.”

After shutting out the Golden Eagles at home, the Red Raiders had their first away game facing off against the Mountaineers in Boone, North Carolina.

The first shot of the game came from freshman midfielder Jordie Harr. She tried to get on the board early in the first four minutes, but her shot went wide right of the goal.

Another shot by Tech came from Harr out of the corner.

She had a look at the goal, but her strike was blocked

by Mountaineer defenders to keep the game scoreless.

King had two promising shots in the first half. Her first attempt looked as if it was curving in, but it went wide left of the goal.

She took her second shot from the far side of the field, but she could not get the right spin on it as the ball went wide right.

Schmutz had two shots on goal in the first 45 minutes of action. Her shots were on target, but both were saved

by Appalachian State goalkeeper Sam Steyl.

With two minutes left in the first half, the Mountaineers were able to get one in the net.

After a Tech penalty on freshman defender Gabbie Puente, Appalachian State was awarded a free kick from just outside of the box.

Midfielder Sarah Peatross

took the free kick for the Mountaineers and soared one over the hands of Watson to take the lead 1-0.

In the first half, Tech had nine shot attempts while Appalachian State had four.

Going into the second half, the Red Raiders trailed the Mountaineers 1-0.

The Red Raiders had to come up with something quick to combat the growing momentum from the Mountaineers.

The tying goal for Tech came from sophomore forward Gwennie Puente, who shot one over the hands of Steyl, making the score even at 1-1. The momentum-boosting goal was Puente’s second of the season.

With 30 minutes left on the clock, both teams scrambled to get ahead. Tech attacked the goal with three shot attempts in fewer than four minutes but could not make anything happen.

It was a wild goal that put the Red Raiders on top. Barton had a strike from inside the box that was saved by Steyl, but the rebound deflected off a Mountaineer defender and went back into the net to increase the Tech lead 2-1.

Appalachian State tried to respond with a goal to tie the game but struggled to get one in the net. When the 90 minutes ran out, the Red Raiders defeated the Mountaineers 2-1 in their first away game of the season.

With the first win in enemy territory under their belt, the Red Raiders will try to keep the winning streak up when they face off against Loyola Marymount at 7 p.m.

Friday in Los Angeles. @ABoutwellDT
