Happy Wednesday, y’all!

Feels like it should be Thursday!

And then, Thursday will feel like Friday tomorrow with Texas Tech Baseball playing non-conference at Arizona State. By the time Friday gets here I’ll have know idea what day it is other than it’s graduation night for my son. So, don’t expect a show Friday. You’ve been warned!

We’ll have plenty to talk about tonight on the Daily Broadcast at 6:30 LIVE on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Players getting 2 million a year in NIL, Preakness favorite scratched, PGA Championship and the 3-5 albums every high school and college graduate should own. So, make plans to contribute to the show!!!!

Overrated, Underrated, Rated Right

Each Wednesday we rate a few things. We’ll go with music today. So post your ratings in the comments below!

The Eagles
Pink Floyd
Led Zepplin

Have fun!
