Tech Presents New Sportsmanship Program
Texas Tech Athletics unveiled its Raider Power Spirit and Sportsmanship Campaign this summer. The program is designed to enhance school spirit and promote healthy sportsmanship across the university campus and the city of Lubbock.
The Raider Power Campaign is a joint effort on behalf of the athletic department, the university, the City of Lubbock, the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce and other various community leaders.
Sportsmanship has recently become a hot topic among numerous organizations at every level of sport including the high school, collegiate, and professional ranks. The Big 12 Conference has adopted a spectator code of conduct and Texas Tech's campaign will follow closely along the guidelines set forth by the league.
The objective of the campaign is to promote spirit and sportsmanship by defining a popular Red Raider cheer "Raider Power" as: Honor, Respect, Pride and Tradition. Through these four simple words, Texas Tech hopes to maintain a distinct home field advantage yet unify Red Raider fans through this objective.
This comprehensive campaign will set forth to educate our fan base on the importance of being a good sportsman and raising the bar in regards to school spirit. Passion and rivalry both play major roles in the excitement of college sports but that energy should be used in a positive manner that celebrates the accomplishment and sacrifices of all student-athletes.
Get your guns up! Here in Lubbock, we all know what that means. It's a cheer synonymous with our beloved Texas Tech Red Raiders.
The university wants to make sure every Red Raider fan is a good sport, win or lose. Through this effort, Texas Tech will bring together its student-athletes, coaches and fans to rally under one common ground and make Lubbock, Texas the home of the best fans in college athletics. Raider Power.
