Brought to you in part by South Plains College. The road to Raiderland runs through Levelland. Find out all the great things SPC is offering this summer and fall!!!

Happy Wednesday, Y’all !

Well. We kinda over-exerted ourselves Tuesday, but I think we are back in game-shape today. At least that’s the plan for now. This stomach bug thing…. not good. I did not respect it enough. My mistake!

As for now, we’ll see ya tonight on The Daily Broadcast Live on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube at 6:30. Plenty to talk about. Let’s get to it now on our Wednesday topic.

Overrated, Underrated, Rated Right

Each Wednesday we give you few things to think about and then you rate ’em. It’s not rocket surgery!

Post away in the comments below and we’ll discuss on the Daily Broadcast tonight.

Joey Chestnut’s ban from the Nathan’s Hot-Dog Eating Contest
ESPN’s coverage of the College World Series
Caitlin Clark being left off the Olympic team

Have fun and invite your friends to sound off.

Raiderland Hot Links

We serve ’em up hot and fresh each morning. Hopefully I can have actual hot links soon again!!!
