Happy Thursday and Masters Day !

We’re underway at Augusta. Feels great. Wish we had start to finish coverage. Maybe one day… We’ve got to wait until 12:08 CDT to catch Ludvig Aberg begin his round. That’s not bad. Give us something to do all afternoon for the most part. Just hoping to see him get off to a solid start. You can’t win The Masters today, but you sure can lose it.

It’s never a problem, until it’s a problem.

Is the portal a problem now for Texas Tech MBB?

The news of Christian Anderson announcing plans to try out the NBA were no shock. Neither was the entrance of Watts and others. Yesterday though, a lot of fans were caught off-guard when So. to be Jaylen Petty announced he was in the portal. A solid starter for most of the year, Petty had a lot of fans excited about part two next year. Now that will be somewhere else.

Nathan Giese from the A-J has a solid analysis here of why Petty might be on the move and Tech might not be too concerned. It’s a short story you might say…

So, are you worried yet about 2026-27 Tech MBB? Or, is the better question, do you trust Grant McCasland with another rebuild and reload. This is the nature of the college game now. Tech certainly isn’t alone. Depending on what happens with J.T. Toppin, Tech should have lots of cap room to work with. A Final Four roster next year will be between 12-15 million dollars most likely. Tech now has capital to work with. We’ll see how it plays out.

We’ll talk about all of that and much more tonight on The Daily Broadcast. Join us LIVE at 5:30 Central on X, our YouTube Channel and on our Facebook Page. All platforms always FREE. If you missed the Wednesday show, we had some fun with the Ask Coach Hyatt questions.

Get those questions ready to roll and we’ll see you tonight!

Over, Under, Rated Right

On Thursdays, we get to rating things around Raiderland. Sports or non-sports, you need to know where you stand on important issues. You never know when you might get asked your thoughts and you need to be ready. We’re here to help.

This week, let’s talk about Sports Traditions.

College or Pro, events, games or otherwise… give us the things you think are overrated, underrated or rated right in the world of sports.

Is The Masters overrated?

What about a rivalry game like “Auburn/Alabama”?

Anything in sports, you tell us what you think in the comments below and we’ll discuss tonight on The Daily Broadcast.

Raiderland Hot Links

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

Remember, if they could serve beef jerky at Augusta, they’d be serving Jackson Brothers Meat Locker jerky! World famous. Find out why. Check out their site and see all they offer down there in Post, Texas, USA! Tell them we sent you!

A tremendous capture by Dane to start the day!
