Happy Good Friday, y’all!

Things were looking really good for Texas Tech Baseball Thursday night in Orlando, right up until they didn’t. Tech squandered a 5-hit night from Damian Bravo and gacked a 4-3 lead in the ninth to lose to UCF 5-4. We’ll discuss it tonight in detail on The Daily Broadcast around 6:30ish…

As for now, the hill to the post-season gets a little steeper with each loss. Texas Tech will start the day 78 in the D1 Baseball RPI, down 7 spots. . .

So we will see what happens today…

Most Texan Thing

Each Friday we ask you the same question. . .

What’s The Most Texan Thing You’ve Done This Week?

From big to small, how good a Texan were ya this week? Feel free to brag a little if ya want too. You’re a Texan. It’s legal.

Raiderland Hot-Links

We find cool stuff we think you’ll like and we serve it up here each morning!

"Greatest break I ever got. I'm out there right in the middle of the movie business where, if a guy has anything, he's got the chance to break in. To the greatest game in the world I shall be eternally in debt"
