Interview with Cayde:
SHS: Cade, what’s your favorite part about Red Raider baseball?
Cayde: Do the dang-it !!
SHS: Not now; do you like to see Raider Red at the games (when he can make it)?
Cayde: Where!? Where is he? Oh no. I have to go hide. Where’s Raider Red?
SHS: No, don’t worry he’s a good guy.
Cayde: I’m scared of Raider Red. Let's trade hats.
SHS:
Cayde, what do you think about our dirtball counter?
Cayde: Why do you ask so many dirtballs?
Do the dang it!!
SHS: We don’t need the C’mon Dang It yet; the season hasn’t started.
Cayde: I want you to do the dang-it! I’m going to stay here because Raider Red is tee-teeing in the bathroom.
SHS: OK, thanks for the interview Cayde.
Cayde: Where are you going???
You're our buddy, Cayde!!

Bubba is an interesting individual, one who we know little about. Rumor has it that he is a wealthy business man and toy maker. We know this much: he is a strong supporter of Tech Athletics. Whether it be at the basketball games or behind the Hecklers at baseball games, you are certain to see a rather large man in a pair of rather large overalls hamming it up. We were lucky enough to all obtain the official "Have you seen my mama" t-shirt from Bubba last season. It's hard to miss this man of mystery, especially when the "Cotton-eyed Joe" is blaring over the loudspeakers. Man, that guy's got moves!

Cayde is the SHS's biggest (and littlest) buddy. Being the son of a Heckler, we know Cayde is one day destined for greatness. When not asking "where are you going?", Cayde can be heard requesting Mike to "Do the dang-it." Still though, the greatest all-time Cayde quote was: "I wanna stay here right now because Raider Red is teetee-ing in the bathroom." Attaboy, Cayde!

A good man with a great voice. That's the Fink for you. He's not just any play-by-play guy. He's OUR play-by-play guy. Fink brings the games to us via 1340 KKAM every week. His loyalty to the Red Raiders is refreshing and enjoyable. What a guy! Seriously, who else could stand spending two hours daily with Gentleman Jim G.? Major props Fink. You da man.

The Garden Gnome received his name from the 'Tech Hecklers' and was promptly sent to New Mexico for wearing and proudly displaying this silly hat. The hat makes him look like an actual garden gnome. He is nocturnal and therefore will be seen at most night games at The Law. Garden Gnome has one weakness - he will raise his hand every time someone mentions his name.

The Hobo is also an interesting, yet scarce individual. On occasion, he is known to "play" third base while eating a chicken wing and sporting sandals. Errors are very common. Here he is seen holding a sandwich and a baseball bat, with the same arm! This guy's got talent, sign him up!

Kendall, the stinkin’ Aggie is the most dedicated Gump (a term we like to use when Aggie just gets boring) that we know. It is not fair to the guy that he gets overshadowed by the big wigs like Yell Leaders, collie dogs, and football fanatics. Kendall not only shines light on happenings in Aggie baseball, but he devotes hours upon hours to keeping us up to date with news from all over the Big 12 at his big12baseball.com. Secretly, Kendall wishes he could don the red and black and participate in heckling at its best, but we’ll probably never see it. It’s too dangerous to turn your back on a cult once you’ve joined. Look out for Kendall in a Big 12 press box near you.

McBones (a.k.a. Blake) was by far the best batboy at the 2003 Big 12 Tournament. He gave 110% speed and effort in getting the bats and delivering baseballs to the umps. Speedy makes his job look easy even though he puts so much effort in it through his blinding speed. We have to make one thing clear: even though he is wearing a UT batting helmet in the picture, Speedy does not support UT; he was the batboy for many teams in the tourney. He helped us out by asking Matt Hopper to sign a ball for us "to the snipe-hunters." We look forward to seeing you at the OKC tournament again in 2005, Speedy!

The Nomad comes from places unknown. He is sure to wander in during the early innings of any ball game, sporting his stylish plaid jacket and gray beret. No one knows fashion quite like the Nomad. He has gone by many different names. He was once known as Gallagher, due to his similarity in appearance to the watermelon-smashing comedian. The Hecklers North knew him as Pierre, their French arch-nemesis. We just know him as our friend. The Nomad wanders, occasionally to our seating area. Some believe he is a sculptor of metal. Our theory is that he simply wandered to Lubbock one day, the descendant of a long line of hunters and gatherers. Just as Bubba, there are few people who support Tech sports as intently as the Nomad.

Greatest mascot in all the land, Raider Red brings so much to Tech baseball! Whether he's high-fiving young kids or digging through 'The Law's' trash cans, he's always up to something. With help from his buddies, the Saddle Tramps, Raider Red is always bringing a smile to someone's face.

The closest thing to a hero that the Student Heckler Society has ever had, Chris Snead has created in the Tech Hecklers a marvelous fan base and tradition. He’s not only a genius in wit, but also a world-renown author (The Bleacher Bible). Although Snead does suffer from schizophrenia on occasion, turning into a man known as both Mr. Negative and The Earl of Sour, he will always be the greatest Heckler of all-time. Therefore, we salute the 'Stallion' for his efforts in hecklerdom. May your antics be many, and may your voice always bellow.
