Biographical Sketch
Judy Ann Dewbre is the Executive Administrative Associate to Texas Tech Athletic Director Gerald Myers.
Texas Technological College was chartered in 1923, and its first football coach, E. Y. Freeland, was hired in 1925. The first football
game was held at the Fair Grounds. In 1947, the Clifford B. and Audrey Jones Stadium was completed and originally held 18,000 seats. The
stadium was renovated in 1959 to increase the seating capacity, with subsequent renovations occurring in 1969, 1972, 1990, and 2000. The
Athletics Training Center was opened in 1986 and included facilities for indoor track, volleyball, tennis, baseball, and golf. Completed
in late 1999, the 15,000 seat United Spirit Arena became the new home for the university's basketball and volleyball teams.
Baseball, track and tennis were played at Texas Tech beginning in 1926. Golf was begun in 1936. The university also at one time
maintained a swim team. Since 1925, the university's football team, The Red Raiders, has participated in over 22 bowl games and produced
numerous notable athletes. Texas Tech joined the Border Conference in 1932 and became a member of the Southwest Conference in 1956. The
disbanding of the Southwest Conference in 1996 led to Tech's joining the newly formed Big 12 Conference the same year.
