On Jan. 1, 1954, Texas Tech fans attending the Gator
Bowl in Tampa, Florida, witnessed the evolution of a beloved tradition
that Red Raider fans would embrace for decades to come. Dressed in black
clothing with a long flowing cape and mounted on a solid black gelding
horse, Joe Kirk Fulton caught the eyes of the nation when he stormed out
onto the playing field to lead the Red Raider football team. Ed Danforth
of the Atlanta Constitution wrote: "No team in any bowl game ever
made a more sensational entrance." The dramatic entry by the horse
and rider electrified the crowd as well as the team, which beat Auburn
35-13.
Forty-eight years later, the Texas Tech Masked Rider
is perhaps the most recognizable collegiate mascot in the country. The
Masked Rider is a colorful symbol of school spirit and pride that carries
a certain mystique. Wearing black riding clothes, mask, bolero hat, and
scarlet cape, and perched atop Amos: a jet black quarter horse, the Masked
Rider is one of college football's most unique mascots. Leading the team
out onto the field before each home game, the Masked Rider can additionally
be seen at other Red Raider sporting events. The rider and horse also
represent Texas Tech at rodeos, parades, civic events and school activities
around the state.
Serving the Masked Rider position for 2002-2003 academic
school year is Jessica Melvin, a physical therapy graduate student from
Pierre, South Dakota. Jessica is the first graduate student as well as
the first Health Sciences Center student to hold the reins as Masked Rider.
The Masked Rider is selected through a process involving
a horsemanship trial scored by independent professional judges and interviews
with the university's Masked Rider Committee. Wells Fargo Bank established
the Wells Fargo Masked Rider Endowment at Texas Tech University in 1995
to fund operations of the Masked Rider program and provide the $2,000
Masked Rider Scholarship. Wells Fargo has pledged a total of $250,000
to complete the endowment and guarantee the future of the Masked Rider
tradition. In addition, Wells Fargo provided funding to obtain the current
mascot, the Masked Rider pickup and a new horse trailer.
