Happy Friday, Y’all !

Welcome to the Madness, Day Two!

The waiting is over and Texas Tech fans get rewarded with a great day of action.

It all starts this morning at 11:40 Central when 5-Seed Texas Tech takes on 12-Seed Akron in a South Region first round game. Texas Tech is favored by 7.5 and if you saw the show last night, you know our score prediction. Hint. A Reason to watch.

Then it’s the Lady Raiders tonight at 7:30 Central in Baton Rouge taking on 10-seed Villanova. I don’t get the feeling this Tech team is just “Happy To Be Here”, right now. Too many seniors and too much urgency. We love that in a team in March. . .

Add in Tech Baseball at Arizona this weekend and Texas Tech Softball at UCF we’ve got everything a Tech fan could want.

We’ll be LIVE twice today for y’all. First off, join us for Round Ball Rewind Presented by Live Life Well Clinic of Lubbock right after Texas Tech and Akron wrap-up. We’ll broadcast LIVE from Gator’s Bayou at 98th and Slide Road, so come out and enjoy the game with us!

Then we’ll preview the evening’s action with y’all LIVE at 5:30 or a little after on The Daily Broadcast. Join in on both shows via X, YouTube or Facebook. Your choice, all platforms always FREE. If you missed the Thursday prediction show, here ya go:

Daily Broadcast: Will Texas Tech Take Down Akron? We’ve Told You Why The Zips Can’t Beat The Red Raiders… Now Give Us Your Score Predictions! Big 12 Fan Right Now? You Should Be… Where Do You Love To Watch March Madness Games?

So, get your brackets in order and we’ll see y’all today and tonight!

Most Texan Thing

Each Friday, we ask you one important question.

What’s The Most Texan Thing You’ve Done This Week?

Fire away in the comments and tell us your Texan Stories, then share with your friends and find out what they did.

I don’t know that it’s uniquely Texan…but does getting your septic tank worked on count? It should. What about running off rural/feral stray dogs in a dirt storm? That should count too.

Raiderland Hot Links

Each morning we serve ’em up, Fresh and Hot. The best links from Raiderland and Beyond!

Brought to you every day by the fine folks at Jackson Brothers Meat Locker in Post, Texas. Not only do they have the best meats and cheeses around, but they can also handle all of your meat processing needs. West Texas Great for generations, drop by, call or get online and make sure you tell them Raiderland sent you their way!
