Receiver injuries piling up for Texas Tech football

The Texas Tech football team's receiver room has been the most impacted by injury this season, and that continues to be the case. Liberty transfer Donte Lee was ruled out for the season weeks ago while speedster Jalen Jones (hip) has been out for weeks. Then the Red Raiders lost Coy Eakin to a broken hand in this past week's win over West Virginia. Head coach Joey McGuire said, at the very least, they hope to have Auburn transfer Malcolm Simmons back on the field against Oklahoma State. Eakin had surgery on Sunday and McGuire said there's no chance he's available against the Cowboys, but wouldn't put it past the Stephenville native to be back on the field against Baylor . With so many banged up receivers, the Red Raiders are having to rely on its younger talents like freshman Chase Campbell. "We're really fortunate we have Chase Campbell," McGuire said. "He's played really well. We're also fortunate that Terrance Carter really could play that slot. And being in 12 personnel (two tight ends) he's such a tough matchup. We'll move some guys around, like Bryson Jones. He'll get some slot along with getting some outside, which he has." Campbell

New Texas Tech law grad recalls journey to Lubbock's McCleskey law firm

When people asked Bridget Pembroke what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said lawyer – because that’s what her father did. “As a kid, I didn’t know what a lawyer actually did and I slowly shifted away,” she said of growing up in Chicago. On Oct. 15, she came full circle back to that childhood answer. Pembroke stood before seven judges in the Donald Hunt Courtroom at the Texas Tech University School of Law and was sworn into the Texas Bar – officially becoming a lawyer and keeping a McCleskey Law Firm tradition intact. Her official McCleskey start date was Aug. 31, pending her bar exam results. Every attorney in the firm’s history who was hired pending results has passed. Pembroke will focus on labor and employment law, along with estate planning, which her father practiced. She was one of six Tech law school grads at the ceremony presided by Lubbock and area judges. Each of the lawyers-about-to-be first stood before the judges and were introduced one by one. Pembroke was introduced by McCleskey partner Bill Lane, who’s been a mentor to her since she served twice as a law clerk at the firm while studying at
