Masked Rider
As early as 1936, an unidentified masked rider, wearing a scarlet satin
cape, circled the field on a "borrowed" palomino stallion, then rode off

The Masked Rider tradition began officially in January 1, 1954, when Joe
Kirk Fulton rode his horse on the field during the Gator Bowl at
Jacksonville, Florida. Unofficially, the Masked Rider had been sneaking onto
the Tech football field since the 1930’s and 1940’s. Since then the official
masked rider has been a long time tradition for Texas Tech, and the rules
for performance on the field has changed as well as the costume itself.
The timeline for the various mascots
and the horses they rode is as follows: Joe Kirk Fulton (1953-56, he rode Blackie
and Pretty Day); Douglas "Dink" Wilson (1964-66, he rode Charcoal Cody); Johnny
Bob Carruth (1968-70, he Charcoal Cody); Tommy Martin (1970-71, he rode Charcoal Cody);
