6/25/24: Tuesday’s Best – Texas Vacations, Raiderland Hot Links Featuring The Masked Rider, Texas Tech Track And Field, Purple Rain, OU812 And News From Dalhart

June 25, 2024 Ryan Hyatt Raiderland Hot-Links, West Texas, Pop-Culture, Questions Of The Day Comments Off

Brought to you in part by The Reserve, A Culinary Tavern. Great atmosphere, amazing food and cool drinks waiting for you at The Reserve, 103rd and Quaker in Lubbock. Don’t forget about their weekend brunch with a unique menu as well. Get there early! Trust us!

Happy Tuesday, Y’all !

We got the best of both worlds perhaps if you’re a Texas Tech or college baseball fan. Last night Texas A&M didn’t win the CWS championship, falling to Tennessee and now Texas is gonna make both fan-bases sweat out the next few days as reports have the Horns targeting both head coaches, depending on who you listen to.

So, we got that drama going for us.

Actually, it was a really compelling CWS this year. Lots of good story-lines and more and more fans around the country are learning what Tech fans already know. College Baseball is great.

We’ll talk about that, the latest on Texas Tech Baseball in the portal, Tech making the move to Adidas official on July 1st and much more tonight on The Daily Broadcast. We’ll come to you LIVE at 6:30 on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.

Tuesday’s Best

Each Tuesday we give you a topic, and you give us your two best of favorite examples of said topic. Sometimes sports, sometimes not. Today is a not.

How far has Texas Tech track and field come? Gerald Myers once told me Tech scored 1 point at a Southwest Conference meet in Austin. Now, there are 17 current or former Tech athletes competing at the U.S. Olympic Trials and others competing in the trials of foreign countries.

"Hill Decker Co. received an elegant new funeral car, which is a credit to any town. Everything is of deep black, even down to the carvings. While it is the handsomest carriage in town, no one has yet expressed a desire for a ride."
