Narzisstische Bestätigung

2010-12-01T03:59:27Z

Wordbuilder: ce

The term '''narcissistic supply''' was introduced by psychoanalyst [[Otto Fenichel]] in 1938 in describing the way in which a narcissistic individual "requires a 'narcissistic supply' from the environment in the same way as the infant requires an external supply of food".<ref>{{cite journal|last=Fenichel |first=Otto |date=1938 |title=The Drive to Amass Wealth |journal=Psychoanalytic Quarterly |volume=7 |pages=69–95 }}</ref> The term was later used by Kernberg in describing one of the features which distinguish pathological from normal [[narcissism]], namely the coldness of a narcissist's relationships in the form of a "tendency to disregard others except in temporary idealization of narcissistic supply".<ref>{{cite journal |last=Kernberg |first=Otto F. |year=1974 |title=Contrasting Viewpoints Regarding the Nature and Psychoanalytic Treatment of Narcissistic Personalities: A Preliminary Communication |journal=Journal of the American Psychoanalytical Association |volume=22 |pages=255–67}}</ref>

Those who provide narcissistic supply to the narcissist are treated as if they are part of the narcissist and are expected to live up to those standards. In the mind of a narcissist, there is no [[personal boundaries|boundary]] between self and other.<ref>Hotchkiss, Sandy & [[James F. Masterson|Masterson, James F.]] Why Is It Always About You? : The Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism (2003)</ref>

[[Sam Vaknin|Vaknin]] extends the concept of narcissistic supply and introduces further concepts such as primary narcissistic supply and secondary narcissistic supply.<ref>Vaknin, Sam [http://samvak.tripod.com/faq76.html Narcissists, Narcissistic Supply and Sources of Supply]</ref>

'''Ryan Timothy Tannehill''' (born July 27, 1988 in [[Big Spring, Texas]]) is a [[redshirt (college sports)|redshirt]] sophomore [[wide receiver]] and backup [[quarterback]] for the [[Texas A&M Aggies football|Texas A&M Aggies]] [[college football]] team.

==Early years==
Tannehill played [[high school football]] at [[Big Spring High School]] in [[Big Spring, Texas]]. He played 10 games at [[defensive back]] his sophomore season. As a junior, he passed for 1,410 yards and rushed for 822 at quarterback. He took his team to the playoffs as a senior, passing for 1,258 yards and rushing for another 617. He had to miss two games due to a separated shoulder in the second game of his senior year. He also posted three receptions for 62 yards and compiled a 39.2 punt average with a long of 84 yards as a senior. He received second-team District 4-4A honors after both his junior and senior seasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aggieathletics.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/tannehill_ryan00.html|title=Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M profile|publisher=Texas A&M Athletic Department|accessdate=2008-10-19}}</ref>

Ryan grew up a [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]] fan as his father, Tim, played football there from 1985–87. As a child, Ryan went to watch some Tech games each year and even sported a small Tech football jersey which he got when he was 2.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/colleges/topstories/stories/101408dnspoambrief9.10e4c0a11.html|title=Texas A&M's Tannehill has matchup with childhood team|publisher=''Dallas Morning News''|accessdate=2008-10-19|date=2008-10-14|author=HAIROPOULOS, Kate}}</ref> Tim played his first two seasons at quarterback before switching to receiver his final season. Tannehill went into A&M as a quarterback and is now playing at receiver.<ref name="2008-10-19_HC">{{cite news|url=http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/sports/6065296.html|title=Lubbock in the rearview mirror: A&M’s leading receiver wanted to be QB at Tech|publisher=''Houston Chronicle''|accessdate=2008-10-19|date=2008-10-18|author=Harris, Terrance}}</ref>

Although Tannehill aspired to play quarterback for Texas Tech, the school did not recruit him. Ranked as the No. 21 dual-threat quarterback in the nation by [[Rivals.com]], he received offers from [[Texas A&M]], [[Texas Christian University|TCU]], [[University of Houston|Houston]], [[University of Tulsa|Tulsa]], and [[UTEP]]. He chose to sign with A&M.<ref name="2008-10-19_NewsOK">{{cite news|url=http://newsok.com/am-receiver-grew-up-pulling-for-tech/article/3312605|title=A&M receiver grew up pulling for Tech|publisher=''The Oklahoman''|accessdate=2008-10-19|date=2008-10-19|author=Dann, Lori}}</ref>

==College career==
Tannehill [[Redshirt (college sports)|redshirted]] his first season at A&M. A&M underwent a head coaching change before his second season, bringing [[Mike Sherman]] on board to coach the team. In the spring game, he completed 6-of-10 passes for 50 yards.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/APStories/stories/D905C4NO1.html|title=McGee passes for 58 yards in Aggies' annual spring game |publisher=''Dallas Morning News''|work=Associated Press|date=2008-04-20|accessdate=2008-10-19}}</ref> In summer camp, Tannehill competed against veteran quarterback [[Stephen McGee]] and redshirt sophomore [[Jerrod Johnson]] for the starting quarterback position. He finished third in the contest, behind Johnson and then McGee. Sherman, whose offense utilizes true receivers, moved him to receiver. In his fifth game, he posted freshman school records of 210 yards on 12 catches.<ref name="2008-10-19_NewsOK"/> After his six receptions for 78 yards in the Iowa State game, he broke the freshman school records for receptions and receiving yards.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.kbtx.com/sports/headlines/33329739.html|title=Aggie Offense Clicks Against Cyclones|publisher=KBTX|work=Texas A&M Athletics|accessdate=2008-10-26|date=2008-10-26}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/1126dnspoamlede.2e3ee89.html|title=Texas A&M's Tannehill takes familiar route}}</ref> Tannehill finished his redshirt freshman season with 844 receiving yards, which was 11 yards shy of breaking [[Robert Ferguson (American football)|Robert Ferguson]]'s record set in 2000.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.aggiesports.com/Sports/GAME-DAY-NOTES2008-11-29T15-30-34|title=GAME DAY NOTES}}</ref>

Tannehill has expressed his desire to become the starting quarterback at A&M: "I still think of myself as a quarterback, I still want to be a quarterback here at A&M. Hopefully that’s the way it turns out. But if things don’t happen that way, and Coach thinks I can better help being a receiver, then I guess I’m okay with that."<ref name="2008-10-19_HC"/>

During the 2009 offseason, Tannehill and [[Jerrod Johnson]] competed for the starting quarterback position; the job eventually went to Johnson.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.statesman.com/sports/content/sports/stories/other/2009/09/05/0905aggies.html|title=Aggies will figure out playing time for Johnson, Tannehill}}</ref>

'''Daniel Amendola''' (born November 2, 1985 in {{city-state|The Woodlands|Texas}}) is an [[American football]] [[wide receiver]] for the [[St. Louis Rams]] of the [[National Football League]]. He was signed by the [[Dallas Cowboys]] as an [[undrafted free agent]] in 2008. He played [[college football]] at [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]].

Amendola has also been a member of the [[Philadelphia Eagles]].

==Early years==
Ameondola attended [[The Woodlands High School]] in [[The Woodlands, Texas]], under coach Weldon Willig.<ref name=Tech>{{cite web|title=Danny Amendola: Football|publisher=Texas Tech Athletics|url=http://texastech.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/amendola_danny00.html|accessdate=2008-09-26}}</ref> He completed his high school career by leading his team to its first ever Texas State championship game. Although they lost to [[North Shore High School]], Amendola finished his [[Twelfth grade|senior]] season with 1,045 receiving yards, 129 rushing yards, and 8 [[touchdown]]s.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.highlanderfootball.net/history/pastseasons/2003stats.pdf|title=2003 High School Statistics|publisher=highlanderfootball.net|date=2008-08-06}}</ref>

==College career==
[[File:DAmendola.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Amendola as a freshman at [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]]]]
Amendola finished his college career at [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]] with 204 receptions for 2,246 yards and 15 [[touchdown]]s. He also returned 116 punts for 1,283 yards and one TD, an 11.06 yards per return average ranking Amendola third all-time in school history in punt returns and yardage, behind only [[Wes Welker]] and Tyrone Thurman.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://texastech.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/amendola_danny00.html|title=Player Bio: Danny Amendola|accessdate=2008-06-28}}</ref> Amendola's best year was his [[2007 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team|senior year]], in which he was overshadowed by teammate [[Michael Crabtree]], but still recorded 109 catches for 1,245 yards and 6 TDs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/players/115978|title=Danny Amendola Statistics|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=[[Yahoo! Sports]]}}</ref>

During the 2005 season, Amendola made two memorable plays that led to Red Raider victories. The first was late in the 2005 game against [[Oklahoma Sooners football under Bob Stoops#2005|Oklahoma]]. Tech was trailing. On fourth down, a [[Cody Hodges]] pass attempt was tipped, and Amendola made a leaping catch in traffic. He was tackled immediately and appeared to have been stopped just short of a first down. However, the spot was reviewed by the replay officials and the final spot of the ball resulted in a first down. The drive was kept alive and resulted in yet another disputed call—[[Taurean Henderson]]'s stretch over the goal line on the final play of regulation, which gave the Red Raiders the victory over the Sooners.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.redraiders.com/stories/112105/foo_112105016.shtml|title=Calls don't bother Tech coach|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=''[[Lubbock Avalanche-Journal]]''}}</ref>

Another game-changing play came when Amendola recovered the fumble from an intercepted pass during the final drive of the 2005 game against [[2005 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team|Nebraska]]. Tech needed a touchdown to win. Tech quarterback [[Cody Hodges]]' pass was tipped and intercepted. Instead of taking a knee to seal the victory, the Nebraska defender decided to run with the ball and had it stripped. Amendola dove for the loose ball and recovered it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://media.www.dailytoreador.com/media/storage/paper870/news/2005/10/13/Sports/Playing.From.Heart.Has.Duel.Meaning.For.Hodges.Family-1281713.shtml|title=Playing from heart has duel meaning for Hodges family|accessdate=2008-07-01|publisher=''[[The Daily Toreador]]''}}</ref> Tech retained possession, resulting in a game-winning touchdown pass from Hodges to [[Joel Filani]] on fourth down with under 30 seconds remaining.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.redraiders.com/stories/100905/foo_100905021.shtml|title=Tech leaves 'Huskers shell-shucked|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=''[[Lubbock Avalanche-Journal]]''}}</ref> Amendola graduated with a major in Communication Studies.<ref name=Tech />

Amendola has drawn numerous comparisons, including from Texas Tech head coach [[Mike Leach]], to former Tech receiver [[Wes Welker]], now with the [[New England Patriots]],<ref>[http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/football/cowboys/stories/050208dnspocowlede.3308405.html Welker provides hope for Dallas Cowboys' free-agent WR]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/danny-amendola?id=2649|title=Scouting Combine 2008: Danny Amendola|accessdate=2008-06-19|publisher=NFL.com}}</ref> as the two have similar builds (Welker is 5'9", 185 [[Pound (mass)|lb]], while Amendola is 5'11", 183 lb) and played the same positions at Tech (slot receiver and punt returner).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usafootball.com/articles/displayArticle/6065/5414|title=Amendola Leads the ‘Smallish’ Slot Receiver Brigade|accessdate=2008-06-19|publisher=[[USA Football]]}}</ref>

The '''Fred Biletnikoff Award''' has been presented since 1994 to America's top [[college football]] receiver by the TQC Foundation, Inc. (The Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc.), an independent not-for-profit organization which created the award in 1994 and has sponsored it since. It is named in honor of [[Fred Biletnikoff]], who starred at Tech Memorial High School in Erie, [[Pennsylvania]], then [[Florida State University]] before going on to a [[Pro Football Hall of Fame|Hall of Fame]] career with the [[Oakland Raiders]]. The charitable mission of the TQC Foundation is the provision of college scholarships to high school students who have achieved at the highest levels while having overcome significant physical, emotional, psychological, or environmental barriers. The TQC Foundation has awarded over 80 college scholarships.

A national selection committee consisting of over 150 journalists, commentators, broadcasters, and former players selects the award winner. No member of the board of trustees of the foundation has a vote.

Any college player who receives the football through the forward pass is eligible (wide receiver, running back, tight end) to be selected as the award winner, although every winner since 1994 has been a wide receiver.

In 2008, [[Michael Crabtree]] became the first two-time winner of the award. Crabtree won the award in his freshman year, 2007, as well as his sophomore year, 2008.

'''Daniel Amendola''' (born November 2, 1985 in {{city-state|The Woodlands|Texas}}) is an [[American football]] [[wide receiver]] for the [[Philadelphia Eagles]] of the [[National Football League]]. He was signed by the [[Dallas Cowboys]] as an [[undrafted free agent]] in 2008. He played [[college football]] at [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]].

==Early years==
Ameondola attended [[The Woodlands High School]] in [[The Woodlands, Texas]], under coach Weldon Willig.<ref name=Tech>{{cite web|title=Danny Amendola: Football|publisher=Texas Tech Athletics|url=http://texastech.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/amendola_danny00.html|accessdate=2008-09-26}}</ref> He completed his high school career by leading his team to its first ever Texas State championship game. Although they lost to [[North Shore High School]], Amendola finished his [[Twelfth grade|senior]] season with 1,045 receiving yards, 129 rushing yards, and 8 [[touchdown]]s.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.highlanderfootball.net/history/pastseasons/2003stats.pdf|title=2003 High School Statistics|publisher=highlanderfootball.net|date=2008-08-06}}</ref>

==College career==
Amendola finished his college career at [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]] with 204 receptions for 2,246 yards and 15 [[touchdown]]s. He also returned 116 punts for 1,283 yards and one TD, an 11.06 yards per return average ranking Amendola third all-time in school history in punt returns and yardage, behind only [[Wes Welker]] and Tyrone Thurman.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://texastech.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/amendola_danny00.html|title=Player Bio: Danny Amendola|accessdate=2008-06-28}}</ref> Amendola's best year was his [[2007 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team|senior year]], in which he was overshadowed by teammate [[Michael Crabtree]], but still recorded 109 catches for 1,245 yards and 6 TDs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/players/115978|title=Danny Amendola Statistics|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=[[Yahoo! Sports]]}}</ref>

During the 2005 season, Amendola made two memorable plays that led to Red Raider victories. The first was late in the 2005 game against [[Oklahoma Sooners football under Bob Stoops#2005|Oklahoma]]. Tech was trailing. On fourth down, a [[Cody Hodges]] pass attempt was tipped, and Amendola made a leaping catch in traffic. He was tackled immediately and appeared to have been stopped just short of a first down. However, the spot was reviewed by the replay officials and the final spot of the ball resulted in a first down. The drive was kept alive and resulted in yet another disputed call—[[Taurean Henderson]]'s stretch over the goal line on the final play of regulation, which gave the Red Raiders the victory over the Sooners.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.redraiders.com/stories/112105/foo_112105016.shtml|title=Calls don't bother Tech coach|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=''[[Lubbock Avalanche-Journal]]''}}</ref>

Another game-changing play came when Amendola recovered the fumble from an intercepted pass during the final drive of the 2005 game against [[2005 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team|Nebraska]]. Tech needed a touchdown to win. Tech quarterback [[Cody Hodges]]' pass was tipped and intercepted. Instead of taking a knee to seal the victory, the Nebraska defender decided to run with the ball and had it stripped. Amendola dove for the loose ball and recovered it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://media.www.dailytoreador.com/media/storage/paper870/news/2005/10/13/Sports/Playing.From.Heart.Has.Duel.Meaning.For.Hodges.Family-1281713.shtml|title=Playing from heart has duel meaning for Hodges family|accessdate=2008-07-01|publisher=''[[The Daily Toreador]]''}}</ref> Tech retained possession, resulting in a game-winning touchdown pass from Hodges to [[Joel Filani]] on fourth down with under 30 seconds remaining.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.redraiders.com/stories/100905/foo_100905021.shtml|title=Tech leaves 'Huskers shell-shucked|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=''[[Lubbock Avalanche-Journal]]''}}</ref> Amendola graduated with a major in Communication Studies.<ref name=Tech />

Ryan grew up a [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]] fan as his father, Tim, played football there from 1985–87.

Although Tannehill aspired to play quarterback for Texas Tech, the school did not recruit him. Ranked as the No. 21 dual-threat quarterback in the nation by [[Rivals.com]], he received offers from [[Texas A&M]], [[Texas Christian University|TCU]], [[University of Houston|Houston]], [[University of Tulsa|Tulsa]], and [[UTEP]]. He chose to sign with A&M.<ref name="2008-10-19_NewsOK">{{cite news|url=http://newsok.com/am-receiver-grew-up-pulling-for-tech/article/3312605|title=A&M receiver grew up pulling for Tech|publisher=''The Oklahoman''|accessdate=2008-10-19|date=2008-10-19|author=Dann, Lori}}</ref>

==College career==
Tannehill [[Redshirt (college sports)|redshirted]] his first season at A&M. A&M underwent a head coaching change before his second season, bringing [[Mike Sherman]] on board to coach the team.

He finished third in the contest, behind Johnson and then McGee. Sherman, whose offense utilizes true receivers, moved him to receiver. In his fifth game, he posted freshman school records of 210 yards on 12 catches.<ref name="2008-10-19_NewsOK"/>

Tannehill has stated that he still wants to be a quarterback at A&M: "I still think of myself as a quarterback, I still want to be a quarterback here at A&M. Hopefully that’s the way it turns out. But if things don’t happen that way, and Coach thinks I can better help being a receiver, then I guess I’m okay with that."<ref name="2008-10-19_HC"/>

'''John Rice Carter''' (born [[November 6]] [[1941]]) is the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[United States Congress]]ional Representative from {{ushr|Texas|31}} ([http://nationalatlas.gov/printable/images/preview/congdist/tx31_109.gif map]). Carter was elected [[Republican Conference Secretary of the United States House of Representatives|Secretary of the House Republican Conference]] by his colleagues on November 17, 2006.

Carter was born in [[Houston]], but has spent most of his life in central Texas. Since 1971, he has lived in [[Round Rock]], just north of [[Austin, Texas|Austin]]. He has been married to Erika Carter for almost 40 years, and they have four grown children.

Carter graduated from [[Texas Tech University]] with a degree in history in 1964, and earned a law degree from the [[University of Texas at Austin]] in 1969. After graduating from law school, Carter served as the first general counsel to the [[Texas House of Representatives]]’ Agriculture Committee. Carter later began a successful private law practice in Round Rock.

In 1981, Carter was appointed as judge of the 277th District Court of [[Williamson County, Texas|Williamson County]]. He was elected to the post a year later — the first Republican elected to a countywide position in Williamson County. He was reelected four times, usually with 60% of the vote.

Carter retired from the bench in 2001 in order to run for Congress in the newly created 31st District. After finishing second in the primary, he defeated Peter Wareing in the runoff — which was tantamount to election in this heavily Republican district. He has been reelected twice without facing serious opposition.

Carter originally represented a district that stretched from the suburbs of Austin to the fringes of the Houston suburbs, and also included [[College Station]], home of [[Texas A&M University]]. As a result of the [[2003 Texas redistricting]], however, Carter now represents a district stretching from the fringes of the [[Metroplex]] through more rural portions of Central Texas. The 31st District now includes [[Ft. Hood]], home of the US Army's [[3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment]] and the [[1st Cavalry Division]].

Carter is best known as the author of a law that made it easier to prove [[identity theft]] and provides stiff penalties for the offense. It was signed into law by [[George W. Bush]] in 2004.

Carter serves on the [[House Appropriations Committee]]. His subcommittees include Homeland Security and Military Construction. He also serves on the House Republican Steering Committee and as a member of the House Republican Leadership as Secretary of the [[House Republican Conference]].

A staunch fiscal and social conservative, Carter prides himself on having raised a family built on "Texas Values."

==110th Congress==

In the 110th Congress, Congressman Carter has sponsored and co-sponsored a number of bills including the Military Spouse Residencey Relief Act, the Terrorist Death Penalty Act of 2007, and a bill condemning the vandalism of the Vietnam War Memorial on the National Mall. On the Appropriations Committee, Congressman Carter introduced an amendment to the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill to provide $12 million in funding to the section 287(g) of the Immigration Nationality Act (INA) which allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to delegate enforcement powers to state and local law enforcement allowing them to investigate, detain and arrest criminal aliens. However, this amendment was defeated in committee, with every Democrat on the sub-committee voting against the funding, which would have helped local law enforcement agencies.

Also, when Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the House of Representatives recessed in August 2008 for five weeks, Congressman Carter was one of many Republicans who stayed in Washington. This was part of a GOP protest, in which they claimed that Congress should not have recessed for five weeks without addressing the energy crisis many Americans were facing.

'''Daniel Amendola''' (born [[November 2]], [[1985]] in {{city-state|The Woodlands|Texas}}) is an [[American football]] [[wide receiver]] who is a [[practice squad]] player for the [[Dallas Cowboys]] of the [[National Football League]]. He was signed by the Cowboys as an [[undrafted free agent]] in 2008. He played [[college football]] at [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]].

==Early years==
Ameondola attended The Woodlands High School in The Woodlands, Texas, under coach Weldon Willig.<ref name=Tech>{{cite web|title=Danny Amendola: Football|publisher=Texas Tech Athletics|url=http://texastech.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/amendola_danny00.html|accessdate=2008-09-26}}</ref> He completed his high school career by leading his team to its first ever Texas State championship game. Although they lost to [[North Shore High School]], Amendola finished his [[Twelfth grade|senior]] season with 1,045 receiving yards, 129 rushing yards, and 8 [[touchdown]]s.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.highlanderfootball.net/history/pastseasons/2003stats.pdf|title=2003 High School Statistics|publisher=highlanderfootball.net|date=2008-08-06}}</ref>

==College career==
Amendola finished his college career at [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]] with 204 receptions for 2,246 yards and 15 [[touchdown]]s. He also returned 116 punts for 1,283 yards and one TD, an 11.06 yards per return average ranking Amendola third all-time in school history in punt returns and yardage, behind only Welker and Tyrone Thurman.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://texastech.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/amendola_danny00.html|title=Player Bio: Danny Amendola|accessdate=2008-06-28}}</ref> Amendola's best year was his [[2007 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team|senior year]], in which he was overshadowed by teammate [[Michael Crabtree]], but still recorded 109 catches for 1,245 yards and 6 TDs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/players/115978|title=Danny Amendola Statistics|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=[[Yahoo!

During the 2005 season, Amendola made two memorable plays that led to Red Raider victories. The first was late in the 2005 game against [[Oklahoma Sooners football under Bob Stoops#2005|Oklahoma]]. Tech was trailing. On fourth down, a [[Cody Hodges]] pass attempt was tipped, and Amendola made a leaping catch in traffic. He was tackled immediately and appeared to have been stopped just short of a first down. However, the spot was reviewed by the replay officials and the final spot of the ball resulted in a first down. The drive was kept alive and resulted in yet another disputed call—[[Taurean Henderson]]'s stretch over the goal line on the final play of regulation, which gave the Red Raiders the victory over the Sooners.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.redraiders.com/stories/112105/foo_112105016.shtml|title=Calls don't bother Tech coach|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=''[[Lubbock Avalanche-Journal]]''}}</ref>

Another game-changing play came when Amendola recovered the fumble from an intercepted pass during the final drive of the 2005 game against [[2005 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team|Nebraska]]. Tech needed a touchdown to win. Tech quarterback [[Cody Hodges]]' pass was tipped and intercepted.

==High School career==
Amendola completed his [[high school]] career by leading his team to its first ever Texas State championship game. Although they lost to [[North Shore High School]], Amendola finished his [[Twelfth grade|senior]] season with 1,045 receiving yards, 129 rushing yards, and 8 [[touchdowns]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.highlanderfootball.net/history/pastseasons/2003stats.pdf|title=2003 High School Statistics|publisher=highlanderfootball.net|date=2008-08-06}}</ref>

==College career==
Amendola finished his college career at [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]] with 204 receptions for 2,246 yards and 15 [[touchdown]]s. He also returned 116 punts for 1,283 yards and one TD, an 11.06 yards per return average ranking Amendola third all-time in school history in punt returns and yardage, behind only Welker and Tyrone Thurman.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://texastech.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/amendola_danny00.html|title=Player Bio: Danny Amendola|accessdate=2008-06-28}}</ref> Amendola's best year was his [[2007 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team|senior year]], in which he was overshadowed by teammate [[Michael Crabtree]], but still recorded 109 catches for 1,245 yards and 6 TDs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/players/115978|title=Danny Amendola Statistics|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=[[Yahoo!

During the 2005 season, Amendola made two memorable plays that led to Red Raider victories. The first was late in the 2005 game against [[Oklahoma Sooners football under Bob Stoops#2005|Oklahoma]]. Tech was trailing. On fourth down, a [[Cody Hodges]] pass attempt was tipped, and Amendola made a leaping catch in traffic. He was tackled immediately and appeared to have been stopped just short of a first down. However, the spot was reviewed by the replay officials and the final spot of the ball resulted in a first down. The drive was kept alive and resulted in yet another disputed call—[[Taurean Henderson]]'s stretch over the goal line on the final play of regulation, which gave the Red Raiders the victory over the Sooners.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.redraiders.com/stories/112105/foo_112105016.shtml|title=Calls don't bother Tech coach|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=''[[Lubbock Avalanche-Journal]]''}}</ref>

Another game-changing play came when Amendola recovered the fumble from an intercepted pass during the final drive of the 2005 game against [[2005 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team|Nebraska]]. Tech needed a touchdown to win. Tech quarterback [[Cody Hodges]]' pass was tipped and intercepted. Instead of taking a knee to seal the victory, the Nebraska defender decided to run with the ball and had it stripped.

==High School career==
Amendola finished his [[high school]] career leading his team to it's first ever Texas State championship game. Although they lost to [[North Shore High School]], Amendola finished his [[Twelfth grade|Senior]] season with 1045 receiving yards, 8 [[touchdowns]], and 129 rushing yards.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.highlanderfootball.net/history/pastseasons/2003stats.pdf|title=2003 High School Statistics|publisher=highlanderfootball.net|date=2008-08-06}}</ref>

==College career==
Amendola finished his college career at [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]] with 204 receptions for 2,246 yards and 15 [[touchdown]]s. He also returned 116 punts for 1,283 yards and one TD, an 11.06 yards per return average ranking Amendola third all-time in school history in punt returns and yardage, behind only Welker and Tyrone Thurman.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://texastech.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/amendola_danny00.html|title=Player Bio: Danny Amendola|accessdate=2008-06-28}}</ref> Amendola's best year was his [[2007 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team|senior year]], in which he was overshadowed by teammate [[Michael Crabtree]], but still recorded 109 catches for 1,245 yards and 6 TDs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/players/115978|title=Danny Amendola Statistics|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=[[Yahoo!

During the 2005 season, Amendola made two memorable plays that led to Red Raider victories. The first was late in the 2005 game against [[Oklahoma Sooners football under Bob Stoops#2005|Oklahoma]]. Tech was trailing. On fourth down, a [[Cody Hodges]] pass attempt was tipped, and Amendola made a leaping catch in traffic. He was tackled immediately and appeared to have been stopped just short of a first down. However, the spot was reviewed by the replay officials and the final spot of the ball resulted in a first down.

'''Daniel Amendola''' (born [[November 2]], [[1985]] in [[The Woodlands, Texas]]) is a [[wide receiver]] for the [[Dallas Cowboys]]. Amendola went undrafted in the [[2008 NFL Draft]] but later signed as a [[free agent]] with the Cowboys on [[April 27]], [[2008 in sports|2008]]. He played [[college football]] for the [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech Red Raiders]].

Amendola has drawn numerous comparisons, including from Texas Tech head coach [[Mike Leach]], to former Tech receiver [[Wes Welker]], now with the [[New England Patriots]],<ref>[http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/football/cowboys/stories/050208dnspocowlede.3308405.html Welker provides hope for Dallas Cowboys' free-agent WR]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/danny-amendola?id=2649|title=Scouting Combine 2008: Danny Amendola|accessdate=2008-06-19|publisher=NFL.com}}</ref> as the two have similar builds (Welker is 5'9", 185 [[Pound (mass)|lb]], while Amendola is 5'11", 183 lb) and played the same positions at Tech (slot receiver and punt returner).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usafootball.com/articles/displayArticle/6065/5414|title=Amendola Leads the ‘Smallish’ Slot Receiver Brigade|accessdate=2008-06-19|publisher=[[USA Football]]}}</ref>
==High School career==
Amendola finished his [[high school]] career leading his team to it's first ever Texas State championship game. Although they lost to [[North Shore High School]], Amendola finished his [[Twelfth grade|Senior]] season with 1045 recieving yards, 8 [[touchdowns]], and 129 rushing yards.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.highlanderfootball.net/history/pastseasons/2003stats.pdf|title=2003 High School Statistics|publisher=highlanderfootball.net|date=2008-08-06}}</ref>

==College career==
Amendola finished his college career at [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]] with 204 receptions for 2,246 yards and 15 [[touchdown]]s. He also returned 116 punts for 1,283 yards and one TD, an 11.06 yards per return average ranking Amendola third all-time in school history in punt returns and yardage, behind only Welker and Tyrone Thurman.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://texastech.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/amendola_danny00.html|title=Player Bio: Danny Amendola|accessdate=2008-06-28}}</ref> Amendola's best year was his [[2007 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team|senior year]], in which he was overshadowed by teammate [[Michael Crabtree]], but still recorded 109 catches for 1,245 yards and 6 TDs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/players/115978|title=Danny Amendola Statistics|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=[[Yahoo! Sports]]}}</ref>

During the 2005 season, Amendola made two memorable plays that led to Red Raider victories. The first was late in the 2005 game against [[Oklahoma Sooners football under Bob Stoops#2005|Oklahoma]]. Tech was trailing. On fourth down, a [[Cody Hodges]] pass attempt was tipped, and Amendola made a leaping catch in traffic. He was tackled immediately and appeared to have been stopped just short of a first down. However, the spot was reviewed by the replay officials and the final spot of the ball resulted in a first down. The drive was kept alive and resulted in yet another disputed call—[[Taurean Henderson]]'s stretch over the goal line on the final play of regulation, which gave the Red Raiders the victory over the Sooners.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.redraiders.com/stories/112105/foo_112105016.shtml|title=Calls don't bother Tech coach|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=''[[Lubbock Avalanche-Journal]]''}}</ref>

Another game-changing play came when Amendola recovered the fumble from an intercepted pass during the final drive of the 2005 game against [[2005 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team|Nebraska]]. Tech needed a touchdown to win. Tech quarterback [[Cody Hodges]]' pass was tipped and intercepted. Instead of taking a knee to seal the victory, the Nebraska defender decided to run with the ball and had it stripped. Amendola dove for the loose ball and recovered it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://media.www.dailytoreador.com/media/storage/paper870/news/2005/10/13/Sports/Playing.From.Heart.Has.Duel.Meaning.For.Hodges.Family-1281713.shtml|title=Playing from heart has duel meaning for Hodges family|accessdate=2008-07-01|publisher=''[[The Daily Toreador]]''}}</ref> Tech retained possession, resulting in a game-winning touchdown pass from Hodges to [[Joel Filani]] on fourth down with under 30 seconds remaining.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.redraiders.com/stories/100905/foo_100905021.shtml|title=Tech leaves 'Huskers shell-shucked|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=''[[Lubbock Avalanche-Journal]]''}}</ref>

'''John Rice Carter''' (born [[November 6]] [[1941]]) is the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[United States Congress]]ional Representative from {{ushr|Texas|31}} ([http://nationalatlas.gov/printable/images/preview/congdist/tx31_109.gif map]). Carter was elected [[Republican Conference Secretary of the United States House of Representatives|Secretary of the House Republican Conference]] by his colleagues on November 17, 2006.

Carter was born in [[Houston]], but has spent most of his life in central Texas. Since [[1971]], he has lived in [[Round Rock]], just north of [[Austin, Texas|Austin]]. He has been married to Erika Carter for almost 40 years, and they have four grown children.

Carter graduated from [[Texas Tech University]] with a degree in history in [[1964]], and earned a law degree from the [[University of Texas at Austin]] in [[1969]]. After graduating from law school, Carter served as the first general counsel to the [[Texas House of Representatives]]’ Agriculture Committee. Carter later began a successful private law practice in Round Rock.

In 1981, Carter was appointed as judge of the 277th District Court of [[Williamson County, Texas|Williamson County]]. He was elected to the post a year later — the first Republican elected to a countywide position in Williamson County. He was reelected four times, usually with 60% of the vote.

Carter retired from the bench in [[2001]] in order to run for Congress in the newly created 31st District. After finishing second in the primary, he defeated Peter Wareing in the runoff — which was tantamount to election in this heavily Republican district. He has been reelected twice without facing serious opposition.

Carter originally represented a district that stretched from the suburbs of Austin to the fringes of the Houston suburbs, and also included [[College Station]], home of [[Texas A&M]]. As a result of the [[2003 Texas redistricting]], however, Carter now represents a district stretching from the fringes of the [[Metroplex]] through more rural portions of Central Texas. The 31st District now includes Ft. Hood, home of the US Army's 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment and the 1st Cavalry Division.

Carter is best known as the author of a law that made it easier to prove [[identity theft]] and provides stiff penalties for the offense. It was signed into law by [[George W. Bush]] in [[2004]].

Carter serves on the House Appropriations Committee. His subcommittees include Homeland Security and Military Construction. He also serves on the House Republican Steering Committee and as a member of the House Republican Leadership as Secretary of the House Republican Conference.

A staunch fiscal and social conservative, Carter prides himself on having raised a family built on "Texas Values."

Lesbophobie

2008-07-29T20:09:21Z

Wordbuilder: Undid revision 228665010 by 204.134.67.3 (talk). Vandalism.

{{LGBT sidebar}}

'''Lesbophobia''' (sometimes '''Lesbiphobia''') comprises various forms of negativity toward [[lesbian]] [[Woman|women]] as individuals, as a couple or as a [[Group (sociology)|social group]]. Based on the categories of [[Biology of gender|sex or biological gender]], [[sexual orientation]], lesbian [[Identity (social science)|identity]], and [[gender]] expression, this negativity encompasses [[prejudice]], [[discrimination]], and [[abuse]] in addition to [[attitude]]s and feelings ranging from [[disdain]] to [[hostility]]. As such, lesbophobia is [[sexism]] against women that [[Intersectionality|intersects]] with [[homophobia]] and vice-versa. Cynthia Petersen, a professor of law at [[University of Ottawa]], has defined ''lesbophobia'' as also including "the fear that women have of loving other women, as well as the fear that men (including gay men) have of women not loving them."<ref name="petersen">Petersen, Cynthia. (1994) "Living Dangerously: Speaking Lesbian, Teaching Law." ''Canadian Journal of Women & the Law'' 7(2).</ref>

== Related terminology ==

While some people use only the more general term [[homophobia]] to describe this sort of prejudice or behavior, others believe that the terms ''[[homosexual]]'' and ''homophobia'' do not adequately reflect the specific concerns of lesbians. In particular, some lesbians argue that they experience the double discrimination of both classic homophobia and [[sexism]].<ref>{{cite web |date=[[2006-12-18]] |title=What is “Lesbophobia”? |publisher=ILGA |url=http://www.ilga.org/news_results.asp?LanguageID=1&FileCategory=1&FileID=997 |accessdate=2007-08-07}}</ref> Similarly, [[bisexual]] women may prefer to use the term [[biphobia]] to refer to prejudice or abuse that they encounter which is based on their [[bisexual]] identity or behaviour, as people who identify as [[transgender]] often prefer to use the word [[transphobia]].{{Fact|date=August 2007}}

== Extent of lesbophobia ==

The idea that lesbians are dangerous, while [[heterosexuality|heterosexual]] interactions are natural, normal and spontaneous is a common example of beliefs which are lesbophobic. Like homophobia, this belief is classed as [[heteronormative]], as it assumes that heterosexuality is dominant, presumed and normal, and that other sexual or relationship arrangements are abnormal and unnatural.<ref>Jillian Todd Weiss, [http://phobos.ramapo.edu/~jweiss/tulane.htm "The Gender Caste System - Identity, Privacy, and Heteronormativity"] ''10 Law & Sexuality 123'' (Tulane Law School, 2001)</ref> A stereotype that has been identified as lesbophobic is that female athletes are always or predominantly lesbians.<ref>Peper, Karen, "Female athlete=Lesbian: a complex myth constructed from gender role expectations and lesbiphobia", ''Queer words, queer images: communications and the construction of homosexuality'', pages 193-208 (New York University Press, 1994)</ref><ref>Darcy Plymire and Pamela Forman, "Breaking the Silence: Lesbian Fans, the Internet, and the Sexual Politics of Women's Sport", ''International Journal of Sexuality and Gender Studies'', pages 1566-1768 (Springer Netherlands, April 2000)</ref> Lesbians encounter lesbophobic attitudes not only in straight men and women, but from gay men as well.<ref>Megan Radclyffe, ''Lesbophobia!: Gay Men and Misogyny'' (Continuum, October 2005)</ref> Lesbophobia in gay men is regarded as manifest in the perceived subordination of lesbian issues in the campaign for [[LGBT social movements|gay rights]].<ref>Kristen Raizada, "An Interview with the Guerrilla Girls, Dyke Action Machine (DAM!), and the Toxic Titties", ''NWSA Journal'', pages 39-58 (Volume 19, Number 1, Spring 2007)</ref>

===Lesbophobic violence===
Lesbophobia is sometimes demonstrated through crimes of violence, including rape and even murder. In [[South Africa]], Sizakele Sigasa, a lesbian activist living in [[Soweto]], and her partner Salome Masooa were raped, tortured, and murdered in July 2007 in an attack that South African lesbian-gay rights organizations, including the umbrella-group [[Joint Working Group]], said were driven by lesbophobia. Two other rape/murders of lesbians occurred in South Africa earlier in summer 2007: Simangele Nhlapo, member of an [[HIV-positive]] support group, as well as her two-year-old daughter were raped and murdered in June; and Madoe Mafubedu, aged 16, was raped and stabbed to death. In 2006, Zoliswa Nkonyana, aged 19, was killed for being openly lesbian by about 20 young men in the [[Cape Town]] township of Khayelitsha, who clubbed and kicked her to death. Zanele Muholi, community relations director of a lesbian rights group, reports having recorded 50 rape cases over the past decade involving black lesbians in townships, stating, "The problem is largely that of [[patriarchy]]. The men who perpetrate such crimes see rape as curative and as an attempt to show women their place in society."<ref name="bridgland">Bridgland, Fred. (2007-07-14). [http://www.sundayherald.com/international/shinternational/display.var.1546316.0.0.php "Lesbian couple killed in execution-style murder: Hate crimes increase despite equal rights law."] ''[[Sunday Herald]]'' (Glasgow, Scotland).

'''Daniel Amendola''' (born [[November 2]], [[1985]] in [[The Woodlands, Texas]]) is a [[wide receiver]] for the [[Dallas Cowboys]]. Amendola went undrafted in the [[2008 NFL Draft]] but later signed as a [[free agent]] with the Cowboys on [[April 27]], [[2008 in sports|2008]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/04/techs-amendola-on-board.html|title=Tech's Amendola on board|publisher=Dallas Morning News|date=2008-04-27}}</ref> He played [[college football]] for the [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech Red Raiders]].

==College career==
Amendola finished his college career at [[Texas Tech Red Raiders football|Texas Tech]] with 204 receptions for 2,246 yards and 15 [[touchdown]]s. He also returned 116 punts for 1,283 yards and one TD, an 11.06 yards per return average ranking Amendola third all-time in school history in punt returns and yardage, behind only Welker and Tyrone Thurman.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://texastech.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/amendola_danny00.html|title=Player Bio: Danny Amendola|accessdate=2008-06-28}}</ref> Amendola's best year was his [[2007 Texas Tech Red Raiders football team|senior year]], in which he was overshadowed by teammate [[Michael Crabtree]], but still recorded 109 catches for 1,245 yards and 6 TDs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/players/115978|title=Danny Amendola Statistics|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=[[Yahoo!

During the 2005 season, Amendola made two memorable plays that led to Red Raider victories. The first was late in the 2005 game against [[Oklahoma Sooners football under Bob Stoops#2005|Oklahoma]]. Tech was trailing. On fourth down, a [[Cody Hodges]] pass attempt was tipped, and Amendola made a leaping catch in traffic. He was tackled immediately and appeared to have been stopped just short of a first down. However, the spot was reviewed by the replay officials and the final spot of the ball resulted in a first down. The drive was kept alive and resulted in yet another disputed call—[[Taurean Henderson]]'s stretch over the goal line on the final play of regulation, which gave the Red Raiders the victory over the Sooners.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.redraiders.com/stories/112105/foo_112105016.shtml|title=Calls don't bother Tech coach|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=''[[Lubbock Avalanche-Journal]]''}}</ref>

Another game-changing play came when Amendola recovered the fumble from an intercepted pass during the final drive of the 2005 game against [[2005 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team|Nebraska]]. Tech needed a touchdown to win. Tech quarterback [[Cody Hodges]]' pass was tipped and intercepted. Instead of taking a knee to seal the victory, the Nebraska defender decided to run with the ball and had it stripped. Amendola dove for the loose ball and recovered it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://media.www.dailytoreador.com/media/storage/paper870/news/2005/10/13/Sports/Playing.From.Heart.Has.Duel.Meaning.For.Hodges.Family-1281713.shtml|title=Playing from heart has duel meaning for Hodges family|accessdate=2008-07-01|publisher=''[[The Daily Toreador]]''}}</ref> Tech retained possession, resulting in a game-winning touchdown pass from Hodges to [[Joel Filani]] on fourth down with under 30 seconds remaining.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.redraiders.com/stories/100905/foo_100905021.shtml|title=Tech leaves 'Huskers shell-shucked|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=''[[Lubbock Avalanche-Journal]]''}}</ref>

Die '''Angelo State University''' (ASU) ist eine [[Universität]] mit Sitz in [[San Angelo]], [[Texas]] ([[Vereinigte Staaten|USA]]). Sie ist ein Mitglied des [[Texas Tech University System]] und der "Lone Star Conference". Als Abschlüsse bietet die Angelo State University ca. 100 mögliche [[Bachelor]]-Studiengänge sowie 21 [[Master]]-Studiengänge an.

== Geschichte ==
Die Angelo State University wurde 1928 gegründet. 1947 wurde das erste Gebäude auf dem heutigen Campus errichtet. Im Mai 1967 wurden die ersten Bachelor-Abschlüsse an der Universität vergeben. Im Mai 1969 wurde das Angelo State College in Angelo State University umbenannt. Nach dem Tod des Universitäts-Präsidenten Vincent wurde Michael P. Ryan am 9. August 1994 zum Interim-Präsidenten gewählt, bevor am 25. Januar 1995 der aktuell regierende Präsident Dr. E James Hindman der dritte Präsident der Angelo State University wurde.

== Campus ==
Der [[Campus (Universität)|Campus]] (1,1 km²) hat sich seit 1965 aufgrund eines umfassenden Bauplanes erheblich vergrößert und verfügt heute über Bauwerke im Wert von ca. 271 [[Million]]en [[US-Dollar]].
Der Bau der ''Porter Henderson Bibliothek'' fand im Jahr 1967 statt, das ''Raymond M. Cavness Science Building'' sowie die Concho-Hochhäuser wurden 1968 fertiggestellt, die große [[Turnhalle|Sporthalle]] 1972. Die 5.600 Quadratmeter große ''Rassmann Building'', in dem sich die [[Fakultät (Hochschule)|Fakultät]] [[Wirtschaftswissenschaften]] befindet, wurde im Sommer 1983 errichtet.
Das 8.000 Quadratmeter große ''Mathematics-Computer Science Building'', in dem sich die Fakultät [[Mathematik]] und [[Informatik]] sowie das große Rechenzentrum der Universität befinden, wurde 1996 gebaut. Erst kürzlich wurde der studentische Wohnkomplex ''Texan Hall'' fertiggestellt, ein neues [[Studentenwohnheim]] ist auf der Westseite des Campus geplant.

== Sport ==
Die Angelo State University hat Mannschaften in den Sportarten [[American Football]], [[Basketball]], [[Baseball]], [[Softball]] und [[Volleyball]].
Die Farben der Universität sind Gelb und Blau. Die Footballmannschaft sowie auch alle anderen Männerteams tragen den Namen ''Rams'' (Widder), die Damenmannschaften den Namen ''Rambelles'' (weiblicher Widder).

Another game-chaing play came when Amendola recovered the fumble of an intercepted pass during the final drive of the 2005 game against [[2005 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team|Nebraska]]. Tech needed a touchdown to win. Tech quarterback [[Cody Hodges]]'s pass was tipped and intercepted. Instead of taking a knee to seal the victory, the Nebraska defender decided to run with the ball and had it stripped. Amendola dove for the loose ball and recovered it. Tech retained possession, resulting in a game-winning touchdown pass from Hodges to [[Joel Filani]] on fourth down with under 30 seconds remaining.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.redraiders.com/stories/100905/foo_100905021.shtml|title=Tech leaves 'Huskers shell-shucked|accessdate=2008-06-27|publisher=[[Lubbock Avalance Journal]]}}</ref>

The '''[[Ohio State Buckeyes]] football team''' is an intercollegiate [[Varsity team|varsity sports]] team of [[Ohio State University|The Ohio State University]]. The team is a member of the [[Big Ten Conference]] of the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association]], playing at the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly [[Division I#Football Bowl Subdivision|Division I-A]]) level. The team nickname is derived from the [[Floral emblem|state tree]] of [[Ohio]]. The Buckeyes have played their home games in [[Ohio Stadium]] since 1922.

In their 118-year-history, the Buckeyes have been consensus [[NCAA Division I-A national football championship|Division IA National Champions]] five times, and claim a total of 7 national championships. During the 2008 season it is more than likely that the team will achieve their 800th win, becoming the fifth team to reach the mark.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/misc/div_ia_wins.php | title= Division I-A All-Time Wins | accessdate= 2008-05-31}}</ref> [[Jim Tressel]] has been the Buckeyes head coach since 2001.

{{main|History of Ohio State Buckeyes football}}
===1890-1933: Beginnings===
In the spring of 1890 George Cole, an undergraduate, persuaded Alexander S. Lilley to coach a football team at the Ohio State University. The Buckeyes first game, played on [[May 3]], [[1890]], at [[Delaware, Ohio]], against [[Ohio Wesleyan University]], was a victory.<ref>

[[Image:Fielding Yost-1902.jpg|thumb|300px|An early Ohio State football game]]
"In the fall, life for many in Columbus revolves around Ohio State University football, from the first kickoff in September to the last play in November. OSU's first home game took place at 2:30 p.m. on November 1, 1890. The Ohio State University played the [[The College of Wooster|University of Wooster]] on this site, which was then called Recreation Park. Just east of historic German Village, the park occupied the north side of Schiller (now Whittier) between Ebner and Jaeger in what is now Schumacher Place. The weather was perfect, and the crowd reportedly including a number of women, who cheered loudly. Nonetheless, OSU lost to Wooster, 64-0. Wooster, physically fit for the game, showed OSU that training is critical to winning. The tradition of training continues. Today, on football Saturdays in Ohio Stadium on Woody Hayes Drive, the sound of an O.S.U. game can be heard around the world.”</blockquote>

Over the next eight years, under a number of coaches, the team played to a cumulative record of 31 wins, 39 losses, and 2 ties. The first game against Michigan, in [[Ann Arbor, Michigan|Ann Arbor]], was a 34-0 loss in 1897, a year that saw the low point in Buckeye football history with a 1-7-1 record.

In 1899 the university hired John Eckstorm to bring professional coaching skills to the program and immediately went undefeated.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/fls/17300//pdf/fb/m-footbl-records2.pdf?SPSID=87751&SPID=10408&DB_OEM_ID=17300 | title= OSU Record Book (Part 2) | accessdate=2007-11-26 |format= |work= }} ]</ref> In 1901, however, [[Center (American football)|center]] John Segrist was fatally injured in a game and the continuation of football at Ohio State was in serious question. Although the school's athletic board let the team decide its future, Eckstorm resigned.<ref>Park, p.28</ref> In 1912 football underwent a number of developments that included joining the [[Big Ten Conference|Western Conference]], making football as part of a new Department of Athletics, and hiring [[Lynn St. John|Lynn W. St. John]] to be [[athletic director]].

Ohio State's team came into national prominence in 1916 with the play of [[Chic Harley|Charles W. "Chic" Harley]], its first "triple threat" (runner, passer, and kicker). 1909 saw the tenth Buckeye loss to Michigan. Harley's popularity at Ohio State resulted in the construction of [[Ohio Stadium]], a new, larger facility that opened in [[1922]].<ref name="ohstad"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://football.ballparks.com/NCAA/Big10/OhioState/index.htm| title = The Ohio Stadium Story| format = | work = | publisher = Football Ballparks| accessdate = 9 Aug| accessyear = 2006}}</ref> Prior to this construction, games were played at [[Ohio Field]]. Criticism of Wilce, particularly from "downtown coaches", led him to resign after the 1928 season, and was the first major negative influence of boosters and fans on the football program<ref>Park, p.112-115</ref>

On October 14, 1916, Ohio State faced off against [[Ohio]] foe [[Oberlin College]] at [[Ohio Field]]. Ohio State crushed Oberlin with a final score of 128-0. The star of the game was [[Chic Harley]] who scored 5 touchdowns. The crowd of 3,300 saw the Buckeyes post 1,140 total yards and force Oberlin to punt 16 times. This record for the most points in an Ohio State game still stands, and it remains the only time the Scarlet and Grey scored over 100.

===1934-1978 Big-time football===
In hiring [[Francis Schmidt]] in March 1934 to coach its football team, Ohio State moved its program to a "big-time" level of competition. Schmidt was a well-established coach and an acknowledged offensive innovator. His offensive schemes were a "wide-open" style called "razzle-dazzle" and led him to be the first Buckeye football coach granted a multi-year contract. Schmidt's first four seasons saw victories over archrival Michigan, all by shut-out. The 1935 squad went 7-1, its sole loss was to [[University of Notre Dame|Notre Dame]], 18-13, in the first contest between the programs. However Schmidt's remaining seasons were less successful, except in 1939 when the Buckeyes won the Big Ten championship, and his popularity faded for a number of reasons.<ref>Park, p.166.</ref> On [[December 17]], [[1940]], he resigned.

Ohio State hired the coach of [[Massillon Washington High School]] football team, [[Paul Brown]], to succeed Schmidt. Brown's Tigers had just won their sixth straight state championship. Brown immediately changed Ohio State's style of offense, planned and organized his program in great detail, and delegated to his assistant coaches using highly-structured practices. In 1942, Ohio State lost 22 veteran players to military service at the start of [[World War II]], and with a team of mostly sophomores went on to lose only once in winning its first national championship. Brown
accepted a commission in the [[United States Navy]] in [[1944]] and directed his assistant Carroll Widdoes to head the team in his absence. The 1944 team fielded 31 [[First year|freshmen]] but went undefeated and untied, including a victory over Paul Brown's Great Lakes Navy team. Ohio State finished second in the national rankings behind [[United States Military Academy#Sports|Army]] and [[Les Horvath]] became the first Buckeye to be awarded the [[Heisman Trophy]]. Also prominent on the 1942-44 teams was the first Buckeye [[African American]] star, [[Bill Willis]].

Brown chose not to return to Ohio State after the war, going into professional football instead. Widdoes, despite having the highest two-year winning percentage of any Buckeye coach, asked to return to an assistant's position. [[Paul Bixler]], an assistant, replaced Widdoes and endured a mediocre 4-3-2 season. Bixler resigned and talk of Ohio State being a "graveyard of coaches" became commonplace, a reputation that lingered for decades.<ref name="SIbix"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/ncaa/specials/preview/2006/teams/ten/ohiost.html| title = 2006 Team previews- Ohio State| format = | work = | publisher = SI.com| accessdate = 20 Aug| accessyear = 2006}}</ref>

[[Wes Fesler]] became head coach in 1947 but finished last in the Big Ten for the only time in team history. Ohio State improved greatly in 1948, winning 6 and losing 3, then in 1949 enjoyed a successful season due to the play of sophomore [[Vic Janowicz]]. Ohio State received the [[Rose Bowl (game)|Rose Bowl]] invitation, where they came from behind to defeat [[California Golden Bears|California]]. In 1950 Fesler, rumored to be resigning because of pressures associated with the position and abuse of his family by anonymous critics, returned to coach the Buckeyes, who won six games in a row to move into the top ranking in the AP poll. However the season fell apart as the Buckeyes lost to Michigan during a [[blizzard]], a game that came to be known as the "[[Snow Bowl]]". Two weeks later, citing concerns about his health and family, Fesler resigned.

[[Image:1971 Hayes Markbreit.jpg|thumb|Coach Hayes yelling with a ref in a 1971 game]]
[[Woody Hayes|Wayne Woodrow Hayes]] beat out Paul Brown,<ref>Park, p.275</ref> among others, to be named head coach on [[February 18]], [[1951]]. He instituted a demanding practice regimen and was both aggressive and vocal in enforcing it, alienating many players accustomed to Fesler's laid-back style. The 1951 Buckeyes won 4, lost 3, and tied 2, leaving many to question the ability of the new coach. In 1952 the team improved to 6-3, and recorded their first victory over Michigan in eight years, but after a 1953 loss to Michigan, critics called for the replacement of Hayes.

In 1954 the Buckeyes were picked to finish no higher than 10th in the Big Ten. Hayes, however, had the talents of [[Howard "Hopalong" Cassady]], and a historic goal-line stand against Michigan propelled Ohio State to a perfect season. Hayes led the powerhouse Buckeyes to a shared national championship (his first and the team's second). In 1955 the team again won the Big Ten, set an attendance record, and won in Ann Arbor for the first time in 18 years, while Hopalong Cassady was securing the Heisman Trophy. Ohio State passed only three times against Michigan (the sole reception was the only completion in the final three games of the year), leading to characterization of Hayes' style of offensive play as "three yards and a cloud of dust".

In a [[1955]] article in ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'', Hayes admitted making small personal loans to financially-needy players.<ref name="sishaplen"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://www.buckeye50.com/Drive_Drive_Down_the_field_15_to_11.html| title = #11—Iowa at Ohio State—November 11, 1957| format = | work = | publisher = The Buckeye 50 Yard Line| accessdate = 2 Oct | accessyear = 2006}}</ref> The article resulted in a furor over possible violations of [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] rules, and the faculty council, followed by the Big Ten and NCAA, conducted lengthy investigations. Big Ten Commissioner Kenneth "Tug" Wilson found Hayes and the program guilty of violations and placed it on a year's probation in 1956. In 1957 Ohio State won all of its remaining games after an opening loss to claim the Big Ten championship, win the Rose Bowl over [[University of Oregon|Oregon]], and share a national championship title with [[Auburn University|Auburn]], for which Hayes was named [[Paul "Bear" Bryant Award|Coach of the Year]].

In 1961 the team went undefeated to be named national champions by the [[Football Writers Association of America|FWAA]] but a growing conflict between academics and athletics over Ohio State's reputation as a "football school" resulted in a faculty council vote to decline an invitation to the Rose Bowl, resulting in much public protest and debate.<ref>Park, pp. 340 and 342.</ref> Over the next 6 seasons Ohio State finished no higher than 2nd, and had a losing season in 1966, and public speculation that Hayes would be replaced as coach grew to its highest point since 1953.

In 1968 Ohio State defeated the number one-ranked [[Purdue Boilermakers]] and continued to an undefeated season including a 50-14 rout of Michigan and a Rose Bowl victory over the [[USC Trojans]] that resulted in the national championship. The Class of 1970 became known as the "super sophomores" in 1968, and might have gone on to three consecutive national championships except for what may have been the bitterest loss in Buckeye history. The winning streak reached 22 games as Ohio State traveled to Michigan. The Buckeyes were 17-point favorites but directed by first-year coach [[Bo Schembechler]], Michigan shocked the Buckeyes in a 24-12 upset.

The 1969 loss to Michigan initiated what came to be known as "The Ten Year War," in which the rivalry, which pitted some of OSU’s and UM’s strongest teams ever, rose to the uppermost level of all sports and the competition between Schembechler and Hayes became legendary.<ref name="maisel"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://proxy.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=maisel_ivan&id=1667333| title = UM-OSU more than just a game| format = | work = | publisher = ESPN| accessdate = 13 Oct| accessyear = 2006}}</ref> Four times between 1970 and 1975, Ohio State and Michigan were both ranked in the top five of the AP Poll before their matchup. Hayes had the upper hand during the first part of the war, in which Ohio State won the conference championship and went to the Rose Bowl four straight years, while Michigan won the final three.

[[Archie Griffin]] came to Ohio State in 1972, set a new Buckeye single-game rushing record and led the team in rushing for the season. The following season Hayes installed an [[I formation]] attack with Griffin at tailback and the Buckeyes went undefeated with a powerful offense and equally impenetrable defense, the only blemish on their record a 10-10 tie with Michigan. The falloff in success of Hayes' last three years was not great but resulted in growing criticism of Hayes and his methods, particularly his on-the-field fits of temper. His downfall was sudden and shocking when at the 1978 [[Gator Bowl]], Hayes took a swing at a [[Clemson Tigers|Clemson]] [[nose guard]] in frustration after an interception. Hayes was fired after the game.

===1979-present===
Hayes was replaced by a former protegé, [[Earle Bruce]], who inherited a strong team led by sophomore quarterback [[Art Schlichter]] and returned to the [[Rose Bowl (game)|Rose Bowl]] with an opportunity once again to be national champions. The Buckeyes lost both by a single point, but Bruce was named [[Paul "Bear" Bryant Award|Coach of the Year]]. His success was hailed by those in the media who saw it as a rebuke of Hayes and the start of a "new era".<ref name="earle"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,946372-1,00.html| title = Making 'Em Forget Woody| format = | work = | publisher = Time Magazine| accessdate = 11 Dec| accessyear = 2006}}</ref>

1980, however, saw the start of a trend that eventually brought criticism to Bruce, when Ohio State finished with a 9-3 record. This was the first of six consecutive years at 9-3. While each of these seasons, and a 10-3 season that followed them, culminated in a bowl game, Ohio State did not appear to be any closer to a national championship than during the end of the Hayes era.

In 1986 Bruce received a 3-year contract, the first for the modern program, but the team opened with two losses for the first time in over 90 years. The Buckeyes then won nine in a row before losing to Michigan in a close game. After the season Bruce was offered the position of head coach at the [[University of Arizona]] but was persuaded to stay at his [[alma mater]] by Athletic Director Rick Bay. Hopes for a standout season in 1987 suffered a serious setback when All-American wide receiver [[Cris Carter]] was dropped from the team for signing with an agent. Heading into the Michigan game at the end of the season Ohio State was in the midst of a three game conference losing streak.

[[Image:Ohio stadium rotunda.jpg|250px|thumb|rigth|The rotunda at night]]

On the Monday of Michigan week, after a weekend of rumors and speculation, Ohio State President [[Edward Jennings]] fired Bruce but tried to keep the dismissal secret until after the end of the season. Jennings aggravated the situation by refusing to provide a reason for the dismissal,<ref>Park, pp. 537-538</ref> but the Buckeyes enjoyed an emotional come-from-behind victory over Michigan after the entire team wore [[headband]]s bearing the word "EARLE".

[[John Cooper (American football)|John Cooper]] was hired as head coach with a winning record at both [[University of Tulsa|Tulsa]] and [[Arizona State University]] that stood out among his credentials, as did a victory over Michigan in the 1987 Rose Bowl. Cooper's thirteen years as the Buckeye's head coach are largely remembered for a litany of negative statistics associated with him: a notorious 2-10-1 record against Michigan, a 3-9 record in bowl games, a five year losing streak to Illinois, a 63-14 loss to Penn State, and a 28-24 loss to unranked Michigan State when the Buckeyes were the top-ranked team in the nation and en route to a national championship. However, his tenure also included many positives: back-to-back victories over Notre Dame, two second-ranked finishes in the polls, and three Big Ten championships (albeit shared). Cooper also recruited fifteen players who were first-round draft picks in the [[National Football League]].<ref name="coopbio"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://ohiostatebuckeyes.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/cooper_john01.html| title = John Cooper Profile| format = | work = | publisher = TOSU Football Official Site| accessdate = 19 Dec| accessyear = 2006}}</ref>

In January 2001, The Ohio State University dismissed Cooper for a "deteriorating climate." A loss in the 2000 [[Outback Bowl]] was a factor in his subsequent firing, as was negative publicity regarding player behavior before and during the game. Other contributing factors included his record against Michigan (which was actually considered by most people to be the biggest reason for his firing), his perceived inability to win "big games", the lack of a national championship, the perception of him as an outsider by many alumni, the poor bowl game record, and finally a perceived lack of discipline on the team.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B06E5DB103BF930A35752C0A9679C8B63 |title=COLLEGE FOOTBALL; Cooper Fired at Ohio State |accessdate=2008-05-04}}</ref>

Ohio State quickly sought a replacement for Cooper and after a nationwide search hired Jim Tressel. With four NCAA [[Division I#Football Championship Subdivision|Division I-AA]] National Championships at [[Youngstown State University|Youngstown State]] Tressel, formerly an assistant coach for Earle Bruce, was an Ohioan who was considered to be appreciative of Buckeye football traditions. Although there were some doubts as to whether or not Tressel could repeat his earlier success at the Division 1A level, most fans and alumni met the coaching change with enthusiasm. On the day of his hiring, Jim Tressel, speaking to fans and students at a Buckeye basketball game, made a prophetic implication that he would lead the Buckeyes to beat Michigan in Ann Arbor the following November.<ref name="310days"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://www.michigandaily.com/news/2001/07/23/Sports/Tressel.Eyes.Finally.Bucking.The.Wolverines-1408404.shtml | title = Tressel Eyes Finally Bucking the Wolverines| format = | work = | publisher = The Michigan Daily| accessdate = 11 Dec| accessyear = 2006}}</ref>

Tressel's first season was difficult as the Buckeyes finished 7-5, but he made good on his promise, beating Michigan in Ann Arbor. While its fans were optimistic about the chance for success of the 2002 team, most observers were surprised by Ohio State's [[2002 Ohio State Buckeyes football team|National Championship]].<ref name="surprised"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://www.covers.com/articles/articles.aspx?theArt=99132&tid=30| title = BCS National Title Game Bowl preview| format = | work = | publisher = Covers.com| accessdate = 13 Jan | accessyear = 2007}}</ref><ref>

Ohio State faced off against powerhouse Miami (FL). The Buckeyes were large underdogs going into the game. However, second year coach [[Jim Tressel]] and the Buckeyes had other plans. No one thought Ohio State should be there, let alone have any chance to win the game. The 'Canes started off by striking first in the first quarter. The Buckeyes scored 14 points in the second quarter and took the lead but once overtime started, Ohio State faced a 4th and goal from 3 yards away when OSU QB [[Craig Krenzel]] threw for [[Chris Gamble]], but the pass fell incomplete and Miami fans started to rush the field but there was a flag: pass interference on Miami. The Buckeyes got new life and a fresh set of downs. Krenzel ran up the middle to score and force a second overtime. The Buckeyes got the ball first in the second overtime and [[Maurice Clarret]] scored and [[Mike Nugent]]'s PAT was good, making it a 7 point game. The 'Canes drove to the 3 yard line and on 4th down an Ohio State blitz sent Miami QB [[Ken Dorsey]] to throw with [[Cie Grant]] in his face right to a [[Matt Wilhelm]] who sent the ball crashing to the ground. The Buckeyes won the their first National Title in 32 years. In his post-game speech Coach Tressel was quoted as saying, ''We've always had "The Best Damn Band In The Land," Now we have the Best Damn Team In The Land!"<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/bowls/2003-01-03-fiesta_x.htm |title=Ohio State shocks Miami in Fiesta Bowl |accessdate=2008-04-24}}</ref>

The team's success continued with an additional Big Ten championships in [[2005 Ohio State Buckeyes football team|2005]]. In the initial [[USA Today]] Coaches' Poll of 2006, Ohio State was ranked the number one in Division I-A.<ref name="coach-poll1">{{cite news | url=http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/2006-08-03-top-25-capsules_x.htm | title=Breaking down the top 25 teams | publisher=USA Today | date=[[5 August]] [[2006]] | accessdate=2006-08-07}}</ref> When the first [[Bowl Championship Series|BCS]] rankings were released in October Ohio State found itself at the top and remained there throughout the regular season.

==Buckeye football traditions==
Ohio State football is rich in traditions, and Coach Tressel has since his hiring made upholding tradition a cornerstone of his program.<ref>Park, p.1</ref> The following are football traditions in chronogical order of longevity:
* '''Senior tackle'''
Begun in 1913 by head coach [[John Wilce]], seniors on the team are recognized at the last practice of the season, either before the Michigan game or before departing Columbus to play in a [[bowl game]], and hit the [[Glossary of American football#B|blocking sled]] a final time.<ref>{{cite book| author=Todd Lamb, editor| title=Ohio State Football Gameday| publisher=The Ohio State Athletics Communications Office| year=2002|pages=42-43}}</ref>
* '''[[Illibuck]]'''
The winner of the Ohio State-[[Illinois Fighting Illini|Illinois]] game has been awarded the [[Illibuck]] trophy since 1925.<ref> ''OSF Gameday 2002'' p.42</ref>. Until 1927 the teams played for a live turtle, now it is made out of wood.
* '''Gold pants'''
A [[gold]] miniature [[Charm bracelet|charm]] depicting a pair of football pants is given to all players and coaches following a victory over the Michigan Wolverines. The tradition began as the result of a comment to reporters by newly-hired head coach [[Francis Schmidt]] on [[March 2]], [[1934]]: "How about Michigan? They put their pants on one leg at a time, the same as we do!" The first gold pants, which were a creation of Simon Lazarus (president of the [[Lazarus (department store)|Lazarus]] chain of department stores) and Herbert Levy,<ref>Snook, "Charlie Ream 1934-1937", p.3</ref> were awarded that year for a 34-0 drubbing of the Wolverines.<ref>Park, p.141</ref>
* '''Captain's Breakfast'''
1934 also saw the first gathering of former team [[Captain (sports)|captains]] for breakfast on the Sunday following the [[Homecoming]] game. The event began when local businessman Walter Jeffrey invited twenty former captains to the [[Scioto Country Club]] to honor them, and continues to welcome new captains and award them [[mug]]s bearing their names and season.<ref> ''OSF Gameday 2002'' p.42</ref><ref>Park, p.145</ref>

* '''Buckeye Grove'''
Begun in 1934, each player who wins "first-team [[All-America]]" honors is recognized by the planting of a buckeye tree and installation of a plaque in Buckeye Grove, now located near the southwestern corner of Ohio Stadium next to Morrill Tower. Trees are planted in ceremonies held prior to the Spring Game. All 125 Buckeye All-Americans dating back to 1914 have been so honored.

* '''Michigan Week'''
Since 1935 the annual game against Michigan has been the final meeting of the regular season for both teams. The week prior to "The Game", known as Michigan Week, is characterized by scheduled school spirit and public service events, such as rallies, [[Touch football (American)|touch football]] games, and [[Blood donation|blood drives]];<ref name="offlscumwk"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://ohiounion.osu.edu/bmw/| title = Beat Michigan Week| format = | work = | publisher = The Ohio State University Union| accessdate = 26 Jul | accessyear = 2006}}</ref> and by massive displays of school colors and banners in much of Ohio. In an unofficial culmination to Michigan Week, since 1990 on the Thursday night before "The Game" students have participated in the "Mirror Lake jump", an unofficial gathering at Mirror Lake, a pond between Pomerene Hall and [[Ohio State University#Campus|The Oval]], in which masses of students jump into the water.<ref name="mirlakjmp"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://www.bright.net/~beeryde/ref/osuhistory/mirrorlake2.htm| title = How the Mirror Lake Jump Came to Be| format = | work = | publisher = The Lantern 17 Nov 2005| accessdate = 26 Jul | accessyear = 2006}}</ref>
* '''[[Block O]]'''
Since 1938 the registered student organization Block O has been the "Official Cheering Section" of the Buckeyes. ''"Known for spreading spirit, starting cheers and performing card stunts, Block 'O' was founded...by Clancy Isaac[[Image:BlockO.JPG|thumb|150px|BLock O in a game in the south stands]]"''.<ref name="osufbtrad"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://ohiostatebuckeyes.cstv.com/trads/osu-m-footbl-trad.html| title = Football Traditions| format = | work = | publisher = TOSU Football Official Site| accessdate = 27 Jul | accessyear = 2006}}</ref> They occupy Section 39A in the South [[grandstand]] of [[Ohio Stadium]], next to the band.<ref name="blocko"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://blocko.org.ohio-state.edu/| title = Block "O"| format = | work = | publisher = The Ohio State University| accessdate = 26 Jul | accessyear = 2006}}</ref><ref name="tressblocko"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://www.coachtressel.com/tradition/block_O.asp| title = Tradition-Block O| format = | work = | publisher = Coach Tressel.com| accessdate = 26 Jul | accessyear = 2006}}</ref>

* '''Victory Bell'''
The Victory Bell is rung after every Ohio State victory by members of [[Alpha Phi Omega]], a tradition that began after the Bucks beat [[California Golden Bears|California]] [[October 2]], [[1954]]. Reputedly the ringing can be heard five miles away "on a calm day." Located 150 feet high in the southeast tower of Ohio Stadium, the bell was a gift of the classes of 1943, 1944 and 1945, and weighs 2,420 pounds.<ref> ''OSF Gameday 2002'' p.42</ref>[[Image:ScripOhio.jpg|Thumb|150px]]
* '''''Hang on Sloopy'''''
First played at the [[Illinois Fighting Illini football|Illinois]] game of [[October 9]], [[1965]], the [[Rock music|rock]] song ''[[Hang on Sloopy]]'' is now played by the marching band before the start of the fourth quarter, with fans performing an O-H-I-O chant in the intervals between the [[refrain]]s. The song is also played to encourage the team's defensive players when opponents are moving the ball on offense late in a game. This is also played at the end of the third quarter at Cleveland Browns games.<ref> ''OSF Gameday 2002'' p.42</ref>
* '''Buckeye leaves'''
Since 1968 the helmets of Ohio State players have been adorned with white decals approximately the size of a [[Quarter (United States coin)|quarter]] depicting a [[Aesculus glabra|buckeye leaf]], awarded for making significant plays and for consistency of performance.<ref> ''OSF Gameday 2002'' p.42</ref>
* '''Tunnel of Pride'''
The Tunnel of Pride began with the 1994 Michigan game when all former players who were in attendance formed a tunnel through which the team ran to take the field, and Ohio State beat its rival that day, 22-6. [[Rex Kern]], quarterback of the [[Rose Bowl (game)|1968 National Championship]] team, and then Director of Athletics [[Andy Geiger]] together used the concept as a means of connecting current Buckeyes with those who played before them. The Tunnel of Pride was next formed for the [[1995]] [[Notre Dame Fighting Irish football|Notre Dame]] game, which the Buckeyes also won. In each home game against Michigan since, the tradition has been repeated.<ref> ''OSF Gameday 2002'' p.42</ref><ref name="tunpride"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://www.coachtressel.com/tradition/tunnel_of_pride.asp| title = Tunnel of Pride| format = | work = | publisher = Coach Tressel.com| accessdate = 26 Jul | accessyear = 2006}}</ref>

* '''''Carmen Ohio'''''
Instituted by Coach Tressel in 2001, at the conclusion of all home games the coaches, players and cheerleaders gather in the south [[end zone]] next to the marching band to sing the university's alma mater, ''[[Carmen Ohio]]''.<ref name="carmenotrad"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = | url = http://www.coachtressel.com/tradition/carmen_ohio.asp| title = Tradition-Carmen Ohio| format = | work = | publisher = Coach Tressel.com| accessdate = 26 Jul | accessyear = 2006}}</ref>

* '''The Hive and pre-game circle'''
Tressel brought to the Buckeye football program two pre-game traditions he developed at Youngstown State. Prior to its warmup routine before every football game, the team exits the locker room as a unit in a controlled manner, linked arm-in-arm in a group known as "The Hive". After warmups the team returns to the locker room, and when it next appears, runs onto the field and forms a circle of players around the strength coach, who exhorts the team into a frenzy in which they pummel each other with fists.<ref name="hive"> {{cite web | last = Porentas| first = John| coauthors = | year = | url = http://the-ozone.net/football/2007/MSU/hiveandcircle.htm| title = Roots of Tressel Traditions May be Lost, but the Traditions Carry on at OSU | format = | work = | publisher = The O-Zone | accessdate = 17 Oct | accessyear = 2007}}</ref>

* '''Mirror Lake'''
Before the Ohio State/Michigan game at the end of the season, OSU students typically jump into [[Mirror Lake (Ohio)|Mirror Lake]], located on campus, the Thursday night before the game. The tradition is thought to bring good luck to the football team the following gameday.<ref>[http://media.www.thelantern.com/media/storage/paper333/news/2005/11/17/Campus/How-The.Mirror.Lake.Jump.Came.To.Be-1108362.shtml The Lantern article on the Mirror Lake jump.]</ref>

===Marching Band===
{{main|The Ohio State University Marching Band}}
[[Image:ScriptOhio.jpg|thumb|200px|Famous Script Ohio]]The Marching Band, known as "The Best Damn Band In The Land" or by the acronym '''TBDBITL'''<ref>[http://www.tbdbitl.com/ TBDBITL Alumni Club], accessed [[January 22]], [[2008]].</ref> is the most visible and possibly best-known tradition of Ohio State football.<ref>{{cite book| author=Leeann Parker, editor| title=Ohio State Football Gameday| publisher=The Ohio State Athletics Communications Office| year=2001|pages=45}}</ref> Home games are preceded by three much-anticipated traditions, and a fourth, "dotting the 'i'" of [[The Ohio State University Marching Band#Script Ohio|Script Ohio]], enjoys a reputation all its own:<ref> ''OSF Gameday 2002'' p.43</ref>

==Rivalries==
{{main|Michigan-Ohio State rivalry}}
{{main|Illibuck}}
While its rivalry with the University of Michigan is its most renowned and intense, Ohio State has two other series marked by their longevity, both [[Big Ten Conference]] rivals, those of [[Indiana Hoosiers football|Indiana]] and [[Illinois Fighting Illini|Illinois]]. The series versus Indiana began as a non-conference matchup, with Indiana going undefeated at 4-0-1. In conference, however, the Buckeyes (despite losing the opening conference game) are 65-8-4 through the 2006 season, the most wins against any opponent. Illinois also began with non-conference games (0-1-1) but became the longest continuous series in 2002 when the schools played in their 89th consecutive year. (That record was tied by Michigan in 2007.) Through 2006 Ohio State's record against the Illini is 60-29-4. In 2007, Ohio State was given their first defeat of the season by the Illini.

[[Image:Michigan Stadium opening 3c27311.png|thumb|300px|A early Ohio State Michigan game]]When Penn State was added to the conference football play in 1993, every member was given two designated rivals, teams to be played every year, with the other conference teams rotated out of the schedule at regular intervals. For geographic convenience, the Big Ten named Penn State as Ohio State's new designated rival in addition to Michigan, and Illinois was set to be paired with in-state rival [[Northwestern Wildcats football|Northwestern]] and neighboring Indiana, and in doing so undermined Ohio State's historical rivalry with Illinois.

'''Lubbock''' ist die elftgrößte Stadt des US-Bundesstaates [[Texas]] und Verwaltungssitz des [[Lubbock County]]. Sie liegt im Nordwesten des Staates in einer Region, die früher als ''[[Llano Estacado]]'' bekannt war. Laut einer offiziellen Schätzung von 2005 beträgt die Einwohnerzahl 209.737.

== Geschichte ==
Stadt (gegründet 1890) und County (gegründet 1876) wurden benannt nach [[Thomas Saltus Lubbock]], einem Oberst der Armee der [[Konföderierte Staaten von Amerika|Konföderierten Staaten von Amerika]] und [[Texas Ranger]].

Lubbock fungiert als Wirtschaftszentrum ("economic hub", daher der Spitzname ''"Hub City"'') der landwirtschaftlich geprägten Region [[South Plains]], des größten zusammenhängenden Baumwollanbaugebietes der Welt. Aufgrund des trockenen Klimas ist eine intensive Bewässerung der Plantagen notwendig, das Wasser hierfür wird aus dem [[Ogallala-Aquifer]] hochgepumpt.
