Texas Tech linebacker Dimitri Moore denies Lane Kiffin’s racial slur, spitting allegations
Some ugly allegations are popping out of the TaxAct Texas Bowl between Ole Miss and Texas Tech – and now the events concerned are attempting to set the report straight.
After the Crimson Raiders’ 42-25 victory over the Rebels on Wednesday evening at NRG Stadium in Houston, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin accused Texas Tech linebacker Dimitri Moore of spitting on one in all his gamers – and probably utilizing a racial slur in his path.
On Thursday, Moore responded in a press release from the college, emphatically denying Kiffin’s allegations.
“I can’t state strongly sufficient that these accusations are false,” Moore mentioned within the assertion. “It’s disappointing to have my closing sport as a collegiate student-athlete overshadowed by the false accusations that have been said Wednesday evening.
“Since I’ve arrived at Texas Tech, I’ve strived to signify my teammates, this teaching employees and most significantly, my household, within the highest method. It has been an honor to signify this program as we closed our season with an important staff victory final evening.”
The incident in query occurred within the fourth quarter of the sport, when a scrum broke out between the 2 groups. Gamers from all sides bought right into a shoving match, however Kiffin’s allegations escalated the stakes.
“There was a racial slur concerned, that’s not the purpose of what we’re speaking about, (it’s) in regards to the spitting half,” Kiffin mentioned after the sport. “I introduced our personal 71 as much as the officers, proper or mistaken, you see him crying? He’s not crying not as a result of he bought spit on, it’s as a result of one thing was mentioned.”
When requested to make clear his quote, Kiffin walked the assertion again a bit, however nonetheless was upset.
“I’m not going to, as a result of I didn’t hear it, (I’m not going to) say that that occurred for positive that he gave a racial slur to our participant,” he mentioned. “I used to be advised that that was mentioned in that (incident) however I didn’t hear that. So that might clearly be a large problem.”
Texas Tech’s decisive victory introduced their closing report on the season to 8-5. The loss dropped Ole Miss to the identical report after they have been ranked within the High 10 at one level on the season.
Holiday traditions run the gamut in North Texas. For some, it means a yearly dinner at a popular Dallas Chinese restaurant. But not just any dinner. These are gatherings reserved months in advance. And Wednesday’s festivities just happened to fall on Christmas day and the start of Hanukkah.
Ask April Kao when they plan to close the Royal China restaurant for the night, and she’ll tell you simply whenever the last person leaves. It’s what she’s grown accustomed to. When the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, with all its excitement and frenzy, comes breezing through the front door of the Royal China restaurant off Preston Road and Royal Lane.
Kao and her husband George, both owners of the restaurant, said opening on December 25 was never part of the original business plan.
“We didn’t used to open on Christmas day,” she said. “And in 2008 after the renovation, people begged and begged, ‘Please you have to open.’”
So, they did, and there’s been a massive turnout ever since. People from surrounding neighborhoods in North Dallas and people from different faith communities rely on Royal China.
“Before we open the door, we have lines outside and it’s getting busier and busier. So we take reservations a year before,” Kao said.
One Dallas family made reservations during the summer just to be sure their 15-year tradition wouldn’t miss a beat.
“My son-in-law, Berry, was the one who first suggested that we come to a Chinese restaurant on Christmas day,” said Lynn Harnden. “And we make our reservations like in July to be sure to come.”
As the years pass, seats are added to the reservation. This year, the Hardens occupied two tables with seventeen guests.
As for upholding family traditions, the Kaos have their own wall of memories at the restaurant. It’s a reminder of how far they’ve come from 1974, when George Kao’s father came from Taiwan with a dream and a plan.
“He is very proud,” he said. “He would smile. He’s smiling from above.”
