Brought to you in part by Pete’s Tire Service in Ropesville, Texas. Road-side assistance and much more. Great folks. You NEED their number if you travel around the South Plains.

Happy Thursday, y’all!

It kinda feels like the quiet before the weekend storm. Lots of basketball and NFL Playoffs and yep, a winter storm. Looks like Lubbock area just gonna be frigid, but we’ll be ready. Send us your favorite cold weather soups. I’ll have a recipe for ya tonight on the Daily Broadcast around 6:30ish on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

Either/Or Thursday

Each Thursday we give you a black and white choice to make.Sometimes sports, sometimes not. So, on with today’s question.

Which is the more impressive coaching run? What Bill Belichick did or has done in the NFL; OR what Nick Sagan did in College Football? Which one is harder to do and why?

Raiderland Hot-Links

The cool stuff we found for you. Send us cool stuff for everyone in Raiderland to enjoy in the comment section.

Today is the last day of above normal temperatures for a while. Although these warm temperatures will be accompanied by westerly winds of 20-35 mph and gusts up to 50 mph. This may lead to some blowing dust and fire weather concerns across portions of the area. #lubwx #txwx pic.twitter.com/qWZWBPxla3

What a shot of the two coaching greats Bill Belichick and Nick Saban together. It was from a game at Texas Stadium where the Browns stopped Jay Novacek at the 1-yd line to win.

Pretty easy to read the lips of Barry Switzer afterwards. #DallasCowboys https://t.co/TzHN80fF2t pic.twitter.com/JwNb052JcC

Fact.@chipgaines and Joanna Gaines flipped this house and made 189K off it. Just needed more curb appeal and a toilet. Easy money. Big selling point? Rooftop bar! Can't find that in the Big City! https://t.co/XvPZGcKbnL

Nearly 20,000 ephemeral playa lakes dot the Panhandle's landscape—yet few know these crucial bodies of water exist.

Though they support 98% of the region's flora and fauna, playas are at risk. https://t.co/9PpbSPUGlu

On this day in Texas history, in 1863, the USS Hatteras and the CSS Alabama engaged in a duel of cannon fire in the Gulf of Mexico, while the Hatteras was raiding along the Texas coast. The Hatteras was sunk twenty miles south of Galveston. She lies in sixty feet of water. pic.twitter.com/jBl4ar63yt
