                      HONORING TEXAS TECH BASEBALL

  (Mr. NEUGEBAUER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 2016 Texas 
Tech Red Raider baseball team. The Red Raiders, led by Big 12 coach of 
the year, Tim Tadlock, capped off a tremendous season in which they won 
the Big 12 title and advanced to the College World Series for the 
second time in the past 3 years. This trip, they earned the program's 
first-ever win in Omaha. This team's hard work was evident as I watched 
their impressive run.
  I want to highlight the contributions of the senior class, a group 
who led Tech to 149 wins since 2013. Several of these players have 
moved on to professional baseball careers, and we wish all of them the 
best in their future endeavors. This team ended the year ranked number 
4 nationally, Tech's highest ranking in school history. I am especially 
proud of the way these young men carried themselves in victory and 
defeat.
  Under the guidance of Coach Tadlock and his staff, next year's team 
should be well positioned to carry on Tech's recent baseball success.
  Red Raider nation and I thank you for the way you represented the 
university.
