Red Raider Club To Host Area Luncheons
October 27, 1998 LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech Red Raider Club will conduct luncheons in Abilene and Amarillo to give area fans an opportunity to meet with Red Raider football coaches and administrators and discuss upcoming football games. On Monday, Nov. 2, Larry Hoefer, a key figure in Texas Tech's SWARM defense as outside linebackers coach, will be the key speaker at the Amarillo luncheon. Also on the agenda are athletic director Gerald Myers and former football All-America E.J. Holub. The Amarillo event will begin at 11:30 a.m. at Marty's at 34th & Georgia in Westhaven Village. The cost of the luncheon is $12 with all proceeds benefiting the Texas Tech athletic department. RSVP to Glenna Rhodes at 806/355-7596 by Friday, Oct. 30. On Friday, Nov. 6 Abilene-area Red Raider fans can meet with the coach that has tutored Texas Tech sophomore tailback Ricky Williams to a position as one of the top three rushers in college football - Jack Tayrien. Myers and Holub will also speak at the Abilene luncheon, which is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. at Joe Allen's Bar-B-Que in the J A Corral Bldg. at 1185 China (one block east of 12th & Treadaway). The cost of the luncheon is $12 and RSVP by Monday, Nov. 2 to Wanda Fuller at 915/672-9948. "We don't often get the chance to visit with Red Raider Club members once the school year begins," said Myers, a Borger native who previously served as Texas Tech's men's basketball coach. "This is a great chance to extend our appreciation for those people who support Texas Tech athletics. We are having a great football season and our basketball schedules begin next week. So, we are right in the thick of our busy athletic seasons. I hope the people in the Abilene and Amarillo areas will come out and visit with us to talk about Red Raider athletics." |
