MEN’S BASKETBALL

Williams steps up as team leader

By BRANDON SOLIZ Staff Writer

Texas Tech basketball tipped off Friday to begin the 2015-2016 basketball season, and the Red Raiders were led in the matchup by senior guard Devaugntah Williams.

The Red Raiders had a close game against Tech head coach Tubby Smith’s alma mater, High Point University, topping the Panthers 77-73.

“It’s hard to simulate the intensity level that you have to play with against a good team like High Point,” Smith said. “We’re happy to get a good win, and I think this is just what the doctor ordered.”

High Point showed its ability to compete at a high level by jumping out to an early lead.

Tech was just able to outscore the Panthers in the first half, taking a 32-31 lead into the locker room.

The Red Raiders were 12 of 23 from the field in the first half and 3 of 10 from behind the arc, and Williams had two of the three 3-pointers for Tech.

He led the team with eight points in the first period.

Tech came out of the locker

room and quickly found themselves continuing to battle it out with High Point.

Williams, however, ignited the Tech offense and increased the Tech lead to as many as 11 points in the second half.

The whole night I kept saying, ‘We’re not losing this game.’

We didn’t want to lose and everyone was cheering, and it played a big role.”

DEVAUGNTAH WILLIAMS SENIOR GUARD The senior finished the game with a team-leading 26 points and eight rebounds.

This was the seventh time Williams has scored more than 20 points in a game at Tech.

“The whole night I kept saying, ‘We’re not losing this game,’” Williams said. “We didn’t want to

lose and everyone was cheering and it played a big role.”

Tech trailed by as many as seven points in the game and High Point fought until the final buzzer, with its last made shot coming with six seconds left in the game.

Williams said the intensity level for the team came up in the second half and not as early as it should have.

“We just kept playing as hard as we could because they’re a good team,” Williams said. “I saw (the intensity) come up in the second half when we started making the important plays.”

Smith said Williams had some flashes of his talent last year and has gotten better for this season.

“And he showed he’s capable of making those shots. He showed it last year, you know, making eight threes in a game,” Smith said. “He’s capable of having the big games like that and he’s going to be counted on, especially when other guards are struggling or when we shoot the ball the way we did the other night.”

RAWLS COLLEGE OF BUSINESS

Students, alumni show support for Nail on website

By JENNIFER ROMERO L a Vida editor

Last Tuesday, Jerry S. Rawls College of Business Administration Dean Lance Nail announced he will resign from his position effective Dec. 31.

Nail was accused during the summer of changing four students’ grades from the spring semester, and a Texas Tech committee investigated the allegations and released its findings last Tuesday.

The report stated the committee did not find any evidence that the students’ original grades were given with discrimination by the professor, which was the reason Nail said he allowed five students to take a makeup exam to improve their grades without going through the university grade appeal process.

Students, faculty and alumni have had different responses to the report, and many have shown Nail support through using

#IStandWithNail on social media and by posting on the website IStandWithNail.com.

Riley Earnest, a freshman marketing major from Plains, said she supports Nail and thinks he is an amazing person.

“As long as I’ve known him, he has always shown a genuine love for his students and for his college,” she said. “He was one of the reasons why I decided to attend Tech and go to the business school. He is one of

Pro-life group reacts to Texas abortion case

By KRISTEN BARTON News editor

The Supreme Court will hear its biggest abortion case since 1992 when it decides whether Texas House Bill 2 is constitutional.

Kimberlyn Schwartz, a senior public relations major from San Angelo and president of Raiders Defending Life, said the pro-life organization was founded a year ago, and the members are dedicated to defending human life from conception to natural death.

The group is against abortion and uses legal means such as education in its activism, Schwartz said. House Bill 2 was first passed in 2013 after no pro-life bill was

passed in session.

“Our legislatures really wanted and our Texans really wanted pro-life legislation passed,” she said, “because that’s a value that’s proved time and time again it’s important to Texans and therefore important to our legislatures.”

In 2013, former Texas senator Wendy Davis’ filibuster thwarted the original bill, Schwartz said. Then former Governor Rick Perry called a second special session for a few bills, including House Bill 2, which is in effect today.

Schwartz said there are four provisions of HB2, and the first is the preborn pain provision.

“Because of mounting scientific evidence that babies in the womb feel pain, then

our legislators decided that is a life we need to protect,” she said. “After 20 weeks, we protect babies in the womb from dismemberment abortions.”

In Texas, this is the only provision of the bill that has not been challenged by the abortion industry, Schwartz said.

The second provision relates to abortion-inducing drugs, she said, and the bill requires any of these drugs to meet FDA regulations.

“We have reason to believe that they weren’t administering it at a lower dose and they did testify that,” Schwartz said. “They were not following that FDA protocol whenever they were administering the pill.”

She said this provision

is also not being challenged, and the two being challenged relate to ambulatory surgical center standards and the 30mile hospital rule.

The ambulatory surgical center provision requires any abortion facility to meet the same surgical standards as those required of an emergency center, Schwartz said.

“Women in Texas have actually died from abortions because they were not following common sense health and safety centers because the State of Texas was not protecting these women,” she said.

“This provision would protect these women who go in for an abortion so they will not die from lax safety standards.”

The 30-mile rule requires abortionists in Texas to have

hospital admitting privileges within 30 miles of the abortion facility, Schwartz said. This provision is in place in case of an emergency.

Abortion has always been in the news for this generation, Schwartz said. The partial birth abortion ban case shed light on abortion politics.

Sharae Flores, a sophomore kinesiology major from Carlsbad, New Mexico, and vice president of Raiders Defending Life, said about 44 percent of abortions are performed on college-aged women.

“Abortion plays a really big part in college students’ lives, and this case really plays a part in it,” she said.

The case plays an important part in women’s health,

Flores said. This case could help the organization reach their goal of not allowing abortion to be an option for women.

“We’ve actually become more of a pro-life generation than the generation before us and that generation before them,” Schwartz said. “I think this is an issue that college students really care about.

We care about protecting preborn children, we care about making sure that the right to life for every innocent human is protected.”

Abortion is not an issue of women’s rights and it is not an issue of reproductive justice, but human rights, Schwartz said. The extreme abortion on-demand policies of the U.S. are an attack on those rights.

that through it all, his character really showed through with how he handled himself and the way he handled the situation in general. I think that what happened was unfortunate, but I believe he was doing what he believed to be the right thing and what would help his students.”

Nail is passionate about the business college, she said, and he truly wants to see students succeed.

Although it seems like most people are against Nail, Earnest said she thinks the media has influenced people’s perceptions of what happened with the situ-

ation and misrepresented the feelings of students toward Nail.

“A lot of students, as (Nail) talked to them, didn’t know a lot of what has gone on,” she said.

“There are a lot more uneducated people than he realized. I feel like he has a lot more supporters than people realize.”

Nail will remain at Tech as a tenured professor, and Earnest said she is happy he will remain on campus.

Other students and alumni have shared positive stories of Nail on the I Stand With Nail website, and Evan Estes, a junior energy commerce major from

Longview, described Nail as a caring and hardworking leader in his submission on the website.

Garrett Robinson, a freshman finance major from Troy, said Nail helped him get his job in the dean’s office when he needed to make more money to fund his education.

“He’s super approachable,” he said. “If you walked up to him, he would engage you in a conversation even if you weren’t a business student. He has such a big heart, and he truly cares about everybody.”

Nail takes the time to remember the names of every

student he meets, Robinson said, and Nail tries to be a friend to students and not be seen as the uncaring dean.

When Robinson heard about the report of Nail changing grades and saw how part of the campus reacted negatively toward the dean, he said he was heartbroken.

“It felt like you were going down with him,” he said. “I felt like it was unjust the way the procedures worked against him, but I guess that’s how it goes. You know he did the right thing, so it makes it all worth it I guess.”

Most every student in the

business college supports Nail, Robinson said, and the website and hashtag show Nail that students are not condemning him for his actions.

Robinson said he is happy Nail will still be teaching in the Rawls College, and he plants to seek Nail’s advice whenever he needs it.

“I would hope that this doesn’t follow him around, because it shouldn’t,” Robinson said. “He has so much more to him than this incident. He has as prominent of a heart as he made the business school.”

PARIS

Abbott calls for minute of silence At noon Monday, Gov. Abbott called for a statewide minute of silence to honor the victims of the Paris attacks Friday.

This moment of silence was in solidarity with all 28 nations of the European Union, according to a news release from Abbott’s office.

“Texas’ solidarity and longstanding relationship with France is well established,” Abbott said in the release. “When Texas declared its independence from Mexico, France was among the first nations to recognize that indepen-

dence. We have not forgotten France’s commitment to the Lone Star State and Texas will join with other states and nations tomorrow to honor the victims and condemn the cowardly terrorist attacks.

I urge all Texans to hold a minute of silence at noon tomorrow and pray for the victims and families of the despicable attacks that took place in Paris.”

Mizzou gives motivation for social change A

s of last Monday, Tim Wolfe, president of the University of Missouri, stepped down as president of the university along with Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin after allegations were made by the black student body that the administration showed a lack of action toward racially tense situations.

Since that Monday, a few arrests have been made after a few students made threats toward all black individuals on the campus over the social media site Yik Yak, according to The Missourian newspaper. One of the students, 19-year-old Hunter Park, was arrested Wednesday afternoon with a charge of making a terroristic threat.

This has stirred the campus in a big way, and many professors and instructors cancelled class from fear that their students were in danger.

Those instructors who did not cancel class caught heat from their students for what was perceived as insensitivity.

There were also reports from numerous news sources that students were leaving the campus out of fear, possibly leaving permanently.

During the weekend, I was able to make a trip to

Michael Cantu is a sophomore electronic media and communications major from New Deal.

Mizzou because of a debate tournament the school was hosting. It was the weekend, of course, so it didn’t strike me at first as strange that there were not many students on campus, but after a while it began to get to me as to why the campus was so quiet.

Before leaving, our team was told through the school’s invitation that there was no guarantee of safety, but there was also no guarantee of a threat.

My curiosity began to eat away at me, and I decided to pick up a copy of the school newspaper, The Maneater, and it filled me in on the goings on around the school.

For most of the week there was a deep cloud of tension covering the school, something that pointed its finger toward previous racial tensions, according to The Maneater. The reason students were upset with Wolfe, and other administrators, was because of their

inaction in regards to racial issues — there was an instance in which a swastika was allegedly drawn with feces on a dormitory door and another student yelling at student president Payton Head, and AfricanAmerican calling him a derogatory racial slur.

Fear was the reason for such emptiness on the campus. The victory through a graduate student’s hunger strike and a football team’s walkout did get something done, but it also opened the gates for something bigger to take place. As seen through threats and other incorporations of people’s opinions of the events, the threat of backlash was real.

This, to me at least, shows a bigger problem with the way society sees race relations in general.

According to the The Maneater, it was the pulling together of a student group called Concerned Students 1950 that pressed the school president to his decision.

The importance of 1950 is it was the year Mizzou first allowed students of color to be admitted to the school.

The use of 1950 makes a huge point in this situation — it highlights how much race relations in

the country have changed since the civil rights era in the 1950s and 60s. It seems that many times there could be situations in which students of color experience traumatic instances of racism and those around them do not believe.

There is this notion that racism might not exist, or it is just too uncomfortable to talk about so there is no need to bring it up.

This is a tipping point for the U.S., a point that shows overall equality needs to be brought into light.

There are many parallels that can be made from then to now, and I am sure it was the same situation then as well. But it brings up a fair point in the believability of stories and instances of racism and disrespect for people’s cultures.

It is a dismal situation for students to be afraid to walk through their own university, especially after they have accomplished something so huge.

For lunch we went to the student center of the

university, and it was almost empty. Hardly anybody was walking on campus, and overall there was a huge empty feeling that steamed off of the campus — a sad sight for such a beautiful university.

The takeaway from such experiences on my part, and the experiences of the student movement overall, is to commend the courage of all of the students involved. I also think there are many times it can be easy to dismiss cases of casual racism we see as joking, or think that a person just might be using these instances to pull something in their favor.

The compassion and courage of the students at Mizzou is something the country should rally behind. This is the tipping point for the U.S., a point that shows overall equality needs to be brought into light. Obviously, if we solve issues of racism we do not solve all the world’s problems, but it will definitely make a clear starting point.

I want to make it clear that I am by no means a head advocate for problems people of color go through, but I do think

it is important to make it known there is still a problem with the way we, as a nation, look into problems that stem from racial profiling or overt acts of racism.

Students, staffers and people across the nation need to stand up to inequality no matter what the consequences are. Take a note from the numerous student groups that stood up to those who overlooked the numerous wrongdoings on the campus. There is always room for change, and we need not be fearful of what those in power may do.

If someone does wrong, call him or her out. This is a time of change, and the change is much needed.

A movement is spurring up all across the U.S. (we see examples at Yale and other universities) and it is a movement that will pave the way for people of color to be closer to achieving fairness in a predominantly white society.

If there is something that needs to be changed, take it upon yourself to change it.

Now is the time, and people are listening. Be the change that needs to take place. Do not let fear rule your life. @MichaelCantuDT

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Students pursue urban design

By ARIEL GARCIA Staff Writer

New Braunfels was chosen this semester as the focus for an urban upgrade on its layout by the Texas Tech urban design class.

The goals for the class were for each student to choose a site within the city and design and plan ways to improve the area.

The improvements to the sites could vary from economical, environmental or public accessibility.

After sites were chosen and local analysis was completed, students went on a field trip where they had the opportunity to speak to locals, officials and design firms.

The city, situated between Austin and San Antonio, was looking to retrofit the city in order to keep up with the rapid growth but also maintain its historic roots as a German town, Kelly Aaron, a landscape architecture graduate student from Lubbock, said.

“This means that the city is looking for ways to provide accessibility and create new destinations to all areas of the town, especially during the summer months when the population fluctuates up to 20,000 people per day due to attractions such as Schlitterbahn and tubing on the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers,” she said.

Some of the urban solutions for the town the students created included transit development, food trucks, riparian walking trails, small parks and plazas, mixed-use centers and safe and effective walkability throughout the city, Aaron said.

“The students have been and remain excited about the project,” she said.

“Having a project outside of Lubbock with different topography and historical background has allowed students to explore different design strategies.”

On Oct. 30, the urban design class students presented their project ideas and received critiques on their progress.

Michael Ross, a landscape architecture graduate student from Blanco, said he chose the Dry Comal as his project site.

“The potential to ad-

dress concerns with pollution, natural habitat preservation, pedestrian connectivity and aesthetically pleasing large-scale design drew me to choose (it),” he said. “It has a great deal of potential to make a big impact.”

Ross said after he visited New Braunfels, he decided he wanted to educate and invigorate the community about its native ecological region.

“New Braunfels is in the heart of the central Texas Biodiversity Hotspot,” he said. “The loss of habitat to devel-

opment and increased pollution and runoff all threaten this unique area.

I want to create an amenity that people can use and enjoy while protecting and celebrating nature at the same time.”

M e g a n H a t c h e r, a senior landscape architecture major from New Braunfels, helped on the project as well and her site for the semester was based downtown.

“Being a local resident, I grew up in the area and am familiar with the existing condition of the downtown area,”

she said. “It is common knowledge that pedestrian safety is a pressing matter, specifically in the downtown area.”

Hatcher said the downtown plaza was where the town was originally settled, and it has grown outward since then.

This history creates a unique dynamic for approaching design solutions and implementing changes to the downtown area, she said.

After a master plan booklet is created at the end of the semester, the students’ design proposals will be evaluated and will be considered for upgrade designs by New Braunfels officials.

“The city people mentioned that they are open to, and excited about, any great ideas generated from our class and there is a possibility for those ideas to be realized probably even sometime in the future, if not now, as the city is very active in implementing downtown revitalization,” Aaron said.

The plans will be presented to city planners and officials in New Braunfels after the project’s completion date, which is set for Dec. 2. @DailyToreador

Rousey-Holm fight shows confidence still no substitute for hard work, determination

I

f you’re a fan of Ronda Rousey, or a person who’s seen her name across multiple social media sites, then you know she is a UFC fighter who is controversial for her attitude and mouth.

Rousey had no cares in the world before her fight with Holly Holm on Sunday in Melbourne, Australia.

Rousey, her fans and most people who watch UFC fights had no doubt in their minds Rousey would come out victorious once again.

When Holm won the fight by knocking out Rousey with a left head kick, thousands were in disbelief.

Tensions were extremely high between the two fighters during the traditional events that led up to the fight. At the UFC 193 weighin, the two fighters were supposed to pose for the customary face to face showdown, but things got heated quickly when Holm touched Rousey’s face.

In a video uploaded by TMZ, you can see Rousey walk

Jayda Ward is a sophomore public relations major from Houston.

toward Holm to face for the pose, but within three seconds people are pulling them apart as Rousey shouts and gestures toward a calm, confused Holm.

After the incident, Rousey said, “She’s the one that put the fists on my face. I didn’t touch her, she’s the one who touched me and I told her that fake sweet act I can see right through it … it’s fake and you’re gonna get it on Sunday.”

One thing that appeals to people about Rousey is that with her, there aren’t any smoke and mirrors. Whatever Rousey says is exactly how she feels. For example, Rousey has spoken out plenty of times on her dislike of Floyd Mayweather because of his past with domestic violence and even claims

she could beat him in a fight.

People might call her rude, but at least she owns it. It’s always better to own what you are instead of putting on a front like you’re someone completely different.

Looking at Holm at the weigh-in, Ronda said, “You’re not the first person who thought that you had the perfect plan to beat me, this not the first time your camp thought they had the perfect plan to beat me. I’m gonna show you on Sunday why I am the champ.”

Uh-oh, Rousey — Holm’s perfect plan is what actually did beat her this time.

Unbeknownst to many, Holm has a history for beating talented fighters. The saying, “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard” exists for a reason.

Not to discredit Rousey’s work ethic, but perhaps she thought this fight was going to be a piece of cake and she didn’t have to train seriously or study Holm’s tactics closely. Whatever the case may

be, Holm proved to many of us there is always a chance for the underdog to win.

For some Rousey lovers, the reason why Rousey lost the fight was not because Holm was a better fighter, but was because of the Madden Curse. The Madden Curse is a superstition that when EA Sports, a sports video game developer, chooses an athlete to be the cover of one of its video games, and the player then gets hurt or suffers some other bad fate.

On Friday, EA Sports announced Rousey would be the cover athlete for its second UFC game, and then Rousey lost the fight to Holy Holm. Despite all the strong predictions, critiques and wagers, there remains one simple fact — Holm won.

At the end of the day, despite Rousey’s smack talk, Holm has the satisfaction of beating one of the most feared and ruthless female fighters in the UFC. jward@dailytoreador.com

ven though Starbucks is not a Christian-based company, it is being harassed for taking the Christianity of Christmas off its famous red cups during this holiday season.

According to Fortune’s story “What Starbucks’ Red Cup Controversy Says About American Consumers” by Tim Calkins, on Nov. 1 Starbucks released its new holiday cup design, which was simply a red backdrop behind the Starbucks logo. Some Christians, such as social media personality Joshua Feuerstein, were outraged with this design change claiming it was “an attack against Christianity.” However, people like Feuerstein are completely barking up the wrong tree.

Feuerstein posted a YouTube video quickly after the release of the new cups, slandering Starbucks and claiming they were antiChristmas. His master plan of rebelling against Starbucks was asking everyone to go to Starbucks, buy their coffee and then state their name as “Merry Christmas” so the Starbucks staff will be forced to say Merry Christmas. According to Calkins, the video was viewed more than 15 million times.

One of Feuerstein’s main arguments is that Starbucks is anti-Christmas.

However, Starbucks is still selling gift cards that say “Merry Christmas,” Christmas blends, along with other gifts or holiday themed extras. This is no mystery — Feuerstein would have had to merely go to the Starbucks website to see this.

If Starbucks really is antiChristmas, it would have gotten rid of the holiday through all of its products and not just cups.

In CNN’s article, “Starbucks’ plain red holiday cups stir up a controversy” by Jackie Wattles, Starbucks replied to Feuerstein’s video that the company only “tries to create a culture of belonging, inclusion and diversity.”

Starbucks also said, “the cup is meant to be a blank canvas that encourages customers to tell their Christmas stories in their own way.”

Even though the U.S.’s religious majority are Christians, the government doesn’t claim a religion.

People of all walks of life come to the U.S. for exactly that: religious freedom. Arguing Starbucks is taking

Emma Martinez is a sophomore English major from Odessa.

the Christianity out of the holiday doesn’t really make sense because the company had never incorporated a religious foundation or claimed any type of religious affiliations.

As a Christian, I was upset to see Feuerstein’s post on his outrage toward Starbucks. Growing up in a Baptist church, those were not the ideals I was taught.

Because Feuerstein’s video went viral and received so much publicity, he has given Christianity a bad name.

I’ve seen stories and articles entitled things like David Mack’s “Christians are Super Offended By The New Starbucks Red Cup Design” on BuzzFeed.

I’m not offended and I’m a Christian. I know without a doubt many other Christians feel the same. I do not want to be lumped in with Feuerstein on these beliefs, because I certainly do not share them.

Tragedies like the Paris attacks that happened on Friday make me wonder how or why someone would be so concerned with an “issue” as small as cups. I hope these attacks help to give people like Feuerstein a bit more perspective. The world is a giant and ugly place, so whenever someone claiming to be a Christian is trying to rally people up against Starbucks I am simply disgusted. How about we rally up against terrorism, racism, homelessness, poverty and other local and worldwide issues?

There’s a picture I’ve seen floating around social media of a Starbucks red coffee cup with a sleeve on it that reads: “If coffee cups define your Christmas, Honey it’s you who needs Jesus.” I couldn’t agree more.

Christmas for Christians is a time to remember Jesus’ birth and celebrate it amongst friends and family in a joyous and generous way.

Even for people who aren’t Christian, I believe Christmas or this holiday season for them contains the same ideals of joy, hope and friendship, which is why Starbucks encouraged their customers to “tell their Christmas stories in their own way.” emartinez@dailytoreador.com

SGA striving to understand, represent diverse student population

I

n the Student Union Building, there is much going on, especially if you get there around lunchtime.

I don’t know if you’ve ever waited in line for an amazing Union Bistro sandwich, but it can get pretty ugly.

So much is happening students might not notice the staircase by Barnes and Noble. If you happen to trek up those stairs for three flights (or take the elevator, because stairs are hard), turn right, turn right again and enter through the glass doors, you will find yourself in the Student Government Association office.

In that office, there will be some nice student assistants sitting at a desk to help you, or you could even find an array of people you might have known existed, but have never really known. These people are senators, cabinet members or executive members of Student Government.

Blaine Hill is a junior journalism major from Borger and is a media and communication senator for Tech SGA.

It sounds kind of like gibberish — I know it did to me when I first became a senator, but eventually, words like legislation and Senate Bill 51.15 became second nature after a few weeks in SGA. Student Government actually does much for the university behind the scenes.

SGA funds all organizations registered in the Center for Student Life. Larken Lundgren, chair of SGA’s budget and finance committee, said there are approximately 250 student organizations, and around $450,000 is given back to these organizations each year.

In the past, SGA has implemented things like the Student Leisure Pool, Memorial Circle and expanding the library’s hours to 24-hours,

five days a week. SGA is a prominent voice for students on campus, even if some students do not realize it.

I had no idea SGA was responsible for all the things they do until I joined, so it was kind of jaw dropping to experience the vast amount of work there was. No one knows more about the work that goes into SGA than Student Body President Holton Westbrook.

“You have the opportunity, No. 1, to see what it’s like to represent constituents and what that means and what that embodies. Your job is to care and protect the voice of the students across campus, and I think that priceless,” Westbrook once said.

It’s hard to gauge the voice of a university that has more than 35,000 students, but SGA tries its best by having student representatives and senators from each college.

The hope is that these rep-

resentatives can help voice the concerns of students and carry out change to help better their college and the college as a whole.

Occasionally, SGA tries to gauge student’s opinion through focus groups or polls.

One of the latest polls SGA sent out was attached the homecoming ballot. Around 3,523 students took the poll.

That’s approximately 10 percent of the student body.

The poll addressed campus carry. Campus carry is a hot topic for students right now because we spend a lot of time on campus, so naturally, SGA wanted to know how students felt. As desperately as Westbrook wished he could talk to all the students at once and see how they felt about the issue, he couldn’t, which was why the poll was attached the homecoming ballot.

Westbrook is the only student representative

on the campus carry task force. He sits in on their meetings and tries to represent the students’ opinions as best he can.

“At 21 years old, I did not think I would be helping develop policy on campus carry for the university,” the president said with a laugh.

The poll will hopefully give some insight to true feelings the students have about campus carry. Westbrook stressed for students not to worry about the campus carry initiative and said some of the worries students have about this issue may be because of confusion. The president said campus carry has been around in some form or fashion for a while.

Fans should enjoy Dirk while he’s here D allas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki has said on multiple occasions that he will play out the contract he signed in the summer of 2014.

While this was great news for the time being, it also started a countdown clock toward a day I never want to come.

One day, and it pains me greatly to say this, Nowitzki will retire.

Now, I don’t want to panic anybody and make them think the “Big German” is going to hang up his sneakers after this year. In an interview with RealGM this past offseason, Nowitzki said he is

Everett Corder is The DT’s sports editor and a senior journalism major from Amarillo.

fully committed through his current contract, which ends after the 2016-2017 season.

“I signed on for three years last summer and I’m not going to retire after the first year,” the 13-time NBA All Star said. “If I commit to something, I commit to it fully. I’ve got two more years and hopefully make it count, make it good ones.”

Even with that commit-

ment through the next two years, it seems more than likely the “Wizard from Wurzburg” will end his career not long after his current contract expires.

It is important, then, for fans of the Mavericks and fans of great basketball in general to soak up as much “Nowitzness” as they can throughout this season and the next.

Now, sure I’m biased toward the “Dunking Deustchman.” I was raised to root only for sports teams in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and while I have loved almost every minute of doing that, there have only been two

championships won there in my lifetime.

I was only four when the Stars won in 1999, but I was a fully invested fan in 2011 when the Mavericks surprised everybody, including me, by winning the NBA Championship.

Since that title, the “German Wunderkind” has become the epitome of a team player, taking salary cut after salary cut to help his team go after big-name free agents.

And so far this season, the 37-year-old husband and father of two Nowitzki has fought off Father Time and been his normal self.

Nowitzki did take a night off on Sunday against the Houston Rockets for rest, but if Mavs coach Rick Carlisle can keep giving the 2007 NBA MVP a breather here and there, Nowitzki should still have plenty of his great performances this season.

So I encourage you, NBA fans, to watch as many Dallas games as you possibly can. Personally, I already stand up and scream or just laugh at the ridiculousness of some of the one-legged fadeaways Nowitzki hits, and you should too.

In the game today, players all across the league will back up a defender, spin

around and shoot the ball while falling away from the basket. Nowitzki was the first to bring it to prominence, however, and when you have a chance to see something live that has impacted the league so much, why wouldn’t you do it?

At the end of last NBA season, without much notice, one of Nowitzki’s former teammates, Steve Nash, retired. Nash is another one of the game’s greats, and I wish I had watched him more in his twilight years.

I will not let that same thing happen with Dirk. @EvCorder_DT

STILLWATER, Okla.

(AP) — A year ago, Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph showed promise while losing his first career start as a true freshman against Baylor.

He hasn’t lost since. Rudolph has led the Cowboys to 12 consecutive wins dating to last season, and now, the fourth-ranked Cowboys are on the verge of a Big 12 championship. Oklahoma State (10-0, 7-0 Big 12) can clinch a share of the title with a win over No. 10 Baylor (8-1, 5-1) on Saturday.

Rudolph has thrown for 3,161 yards this season, the third-best total in school history, with 18 touchdowns

and eight interceptions. Last week, he completed 24 of 36 passes for 327 yards and a touchdown in a 35-31 win over Iowa State.

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said Rudolph, a 6-foot-4 pocket passer, is very good and getting better.

“I thought last week was his best week of understanding coverages and dumping the ball down and getting the ball in the hands of players who could make positive yardage for our team,” Gundy said.

Iowa State often dropped eight defenders and forced him to check down. That he was willing and able to find the right people to move the

chains with short passes is significant for a strong-armed passer who has been successful finding receivers down the field.

“For a young quarterback to be patient and take the underneath stuff was great to see for us,” offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich said. “It was a big development for us, and very encouraging.”

Though he sometimes shares snaps with J.W. Walsh, Rudolph ranks third in the Big 12 in passing yards per game and fourth in pass efficiency. In his past four games, he has completed 67 percent of his passes for 1,269 yards with nine touchdowns and just one interception. He

Freshman defensive players emerging

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

Some of the key contributors on the Texas Tech defense played their final game at Jones AT&T Stadium on Saturday.

Both of the defensive captains, one of the best pass rushers in school history and the team’s leader in interceptions will be gone next season. Throughout the 2015 season, the defense has had young players emerge who could fill those seniors’ roles and be captains in future years.

Senior linebacker and defensive captain Micah Awe said the team was excited for what some of the young players could do in the coming years, but they are already making an impact.

“They’re make plays now, and they’re going to continue to make plays because they are going to continue listening to coach Gibbs,” he said.

“There is a time and place for everything.”

Before being injured against West Virginia, redshirt freshman linebacker Dakota Allen was leading the Big 12 Conference in total tackles while Awe ranked second. As a result of not finishing the West Virginia game and not playing on Saturday, Allen is now third,

and Awe leads the conference in total tackles.

Allen was not named a starter at the beginning of the season, but played his way into a starting role a few games into the season. Against undefeated Oklahoma State, Allen grabbed his first interception of his career.

Because of his success this season, Allen could fill the role of Awe next season.

With Allen injured on Saturday, freshman linebacker D’Vonta Hinton stepped into a starting role. Hinton was named the defensive player of the game by The Daily Toreador sports staff for his two tackles for loss, including a fourth quarter sack. “ D ’ Vo n t a m a d e l i k e two really big stops there throughout the game that, you know, tackles for losses and a sack,” Awe said. “And I told him, you do your job and no one can stop you except for yourself.”

In the secondary, the defense will be without senior defensive back J.J. Gaines, who leads the team with four picks this season.

While Gaines and redshirt freshman safety Jah’Shawn Johnson do not play the exact same position, Johnson has proven that he can be a difference maker in the secondary.

Johnson ended the game

DUNCAN STANLEY/The Daily Toreador

Texas Tech defensive back Jah’Shawn Johnson runs upfield after intercepting a pass from Kansas State to end the game Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium. The Red Raiders defeated the Wildcats 59-44 to earn their sixth win of the season and become bowl eligible. against Kansas State on Saturday with an interception that he possibly could have returned for a touchdown, but he was instructed to run out of bounds. This marked his second game-securing interception this season, as he returned one for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter against Kansas.

The freshman safety has also delivered some power-

BUILDING TOWARD THE HOLIDAYS

ful hits as he has forced two fumbles and recovered four fumbles, which is tied for the most in the nation, according to the NCAA football website.

“Same thing with Jah’Shawn and everyone else on the field,” Awe said.

“This defense is slated for you to make plays when they come your way, and that’s what you’re supposed to do, just be consistent.”

The Red Raider defense is also losing seniors defensive captain Branden Jackson and defensive end Pete Robertson.

Robertson ranks fifth on the all-time career sack leaders in school history with 20, according to the Tech Athletics website.

Freshman defensive tackle Breiden Fehoko has started and played between Jackson and Robertson in every game this season. He is the only true freshman to start every game this year.

While Fehoko does not have high number of tackles, he does have three tackles for loss. Fehoko had a breakout game against the Mountaineers with his first career sack

and interception.

With his size and strength, Fehoko should be a key player along the defensive line for years to come.

“The biggest thing is just for (the front seven) playing together as a unit. One week the D-line is not playing good and the linebackers are. The next week the linebackers are struggling and the D-line is playing good,” defensive line coach Mike Smith said. “We played solid as a whole group.

It’s good for those guys to see, especially those young guys.” @JeremyK_DT

The Mariners acquired Leonys Martin from Texas as part of a four-player trade that sent right-handed reliever Tom Wilhelmsen to the Rangers.

“I think we get one of the premier defensive center fielders in baseball. He’s been among the best in the league

over these last three years,” Dipoto said. “He’s coming off of a down year and frankly that’s when you acquire guys. There was a soft spot in the ability to go acquire Leonys and we took advantage of that.”

Texas also obtained outfielder James Jones in the deal and a player to be named, while Seattle received righthanded reliever Anthony Bass.

It was the third significant trade by Dipoto just in the past two weeks.

Martin signed a $15.5 million, five-year contract with the Rangers in May 2011 that included a $5 million signing bonus. It was one of the largestever contracts for a Cuban defector at the time, before deals for guys like Jose Abreu and Yoenis Cespedes.

He defected after playing for Cuba’s national team in Japan at the FISU World University Championships in July and August, 2010.

Martin is coming off a down year with the Rangers but is excellent defensively and likely moves into the starting center field role. Martin played in 92 games and hit just .219 in 95 games, missing most of August and September after breaking a bone in his right hand, but still had 13 outfield assists. Martin was left off the Rangers postseason roster and then refused to go to Arizona for workouts.

With Martin out rookie Delino DeShields emerged as the everyday center fielder and Rangers leadoff hitter.

Texas general manager Jon Daniels said Martin’s refusal to go to Arizona was something the club could have worked past but could have been a “secondary factor” in the willingness to make the trade.

“If we felt we got value, that it fit for the club, then we were willing to talk about him, but it wasn’t something we felt we had to move him,” Daniels said.
