Happy Thursday, Y’all!

We haven’t talked a lot about Cincinnati this week. Welcome to the new Big 12 where you have conference games that still feel like non-conference games. Other than folks around in 1968, not a lot of Texas Tech football fans have any connection to the Bearcats. More of a connection to SHSU’s Bearkats than Skyline Chili Town.

They say it will take time, but I don’t think you’ll ever feel much of a connection to teams like Cincinnati or UCF…Some would say it’s developed over the last decade with West Virginia, but all of this still feels very temporary to me.

We’ll find out what you think about that and many other things tonight on The Daily Broadcast. We come your way each weeknight around 6:30ish LIVE on X, YouTube, Facebook. Follow us on all those platforms so you never miss a thing while helping us grow Raiderland in the process. More folks = more fun for everyone.

If you missed the Wednesday night show, here ya go:
