Happy Tuesday, Y’all !

Grub update.

We told y’all last night we are fighting late-summer grub worms. It’s not for the faint of heart. Our lawn/yard/land next to the field is my wife’s pride. She is at war with the grubs. Put out the first round of killer last night and getting it watered in. If y’all have any suggestions send them our way. Gonna put out some grass seed later this week to try and fill in some dead spots. A rain would be handy. . .

Other than that we’ve got a lot of Texas Tech Football, including our Tuesday’s Best Question to talk about on The Daily Broadcast. We’ll also ask you to define a “good year” for Texas Tech Football this season. Join us LIVE at 6:30 on X, YouTube and Facebook. If you missed the show last night, here ya go. Enjoy and share it with your friends who don’t get enough Red Raider coverage.

Before the light has kissed the land,⁰I rise with reins in calloused hand,⁰The sky still dark, the stars still bright,⁰I saddle up, greet morning’s bite.
The air is crisp, the world so still,⁰A cowboy’s heart, the day to fill,⁰With leather creaks and hoofbeats’ song, pic.twitter.com/SxAmjTL591
