1/3/24: Farewell Bandwagon Wednesday… Hello Overrated, Underrated, Rated-Just-Right Wednesday! Thoughts From The Mountains, Raiderland Hot-Links Featuring Lady Raider vs Lady Horns History, Tony Dorsett At His Best & One Great Sunrise

Snowmaking

Brought to you in part by Lifts West Hotel and Condominium in Red River, New Mexico! Our home away from home when Raiderland travels to the mountains! Call Billy today and tell him Raiderland sent you!

Happy Wednesday from the mountains of Red River, y’all!

That’s right, Raiderland has hit the road to do a little skiing and some relaxing in the great ski town of the southwest! By skiing, I mean my son and his buddy. By relaxing, I mean me and the wife and some Fireball and other concoctions. Don’t read too much into the concoctions there…. No gummies for us!

We love getting up here and we’ll go Live tonight on the Daily Broadcast. Maybe from Lifts West and maybe from the Legendary Bull O’ The Woods. We’ll see where we land, who has good wifi and go from there. The challenges of road games.

It’s looking good for snow on Thursday, so hopefully they’ll be some fresh powder up here. Lots of the man-made stuff has the runs open and going and it was glorious on Tuesday afternoon. Cold, clear and crisp. Just what you want when you come up here. So, we’ll update tonight on how the kid did on the slopes.

No More Bandwagon Wednesday???

That’s right. It’s a new year and time to say good-bye to an old favorite. Created by our friend Lance King on Ryan Hyatt’s Raiderland Radio Show on Talk 103.9 FM a few years ago, it’s time to retire the Bandwagon. Now you can still jump on and off bandwagons. You can still tell us about it here and on the Daily Broadcast each Wednesday. But it is no longer the Official Raiderland Wednesday Topic… It served us well, but it’s a new year and time for a change.

Welcome to Overrated/Underrated/Rated-Just-Right Wednesday…

We give you a set of topics, things, people, teams you name it… and then y’all tell us where they fall in your world. Pretty Simple.

So to begin with this week, we’ll give you 3 or so topics to sound off on. Up to you to post your comments down below. I’d invite other folks in as well. Share what we do on Twitter and Facebook and wherever your friends need great content. We’re here to help every day. Let’s see what we came up with this week for Overrated/Underrate/Rated-Just-Right…

  1. Outdoor dining in ski towns when it’s 25 degrees… The whole outdoor heaters and whatnot in effect… still cold… still outdoors. I have my thoughts on this. What do y’all think?
  2. The Kansas City Chiefs offense right now. Patrick Mahomes is still Patrick Mahomes, right? But are the Chiefs still the Chiefs?
  3. Kevin Costner.

OK. There ya go. Three things to weigh in on today. If you want to create your own category, feel free to do so and post it in the comments and we’ll let everyone else in Raiderland weigh in on it as well! Let’s blow this up. It starts with you so don’t be afraid to comment. We’re looking for more comments and engagement in 2024 in Raiderland and hope to create the kind of content that will get y’all involved. That includes what’s coming up next…

Raiderland Hot-Links

We love posting the morning Hot-Links. A look around Raiderland at the things we found interesting over the past day or so. We want you to contribute too! If it interest you, it probably interests our Raiderland community. So let’s grow that in 2024 and feel free to post cool stories and links and whatnot in the comments below! We can add then the next day so no one goes without! Now, let’s get Wednesday started with some Hot-Links! See ya on the Daily Broadcast LIVE tonight at 6:30ish on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook Live.
