Happy Friday, Y’all !

We made it to another Friday, but at least we had Texas Tech Soccer and some NFL preseason football to get us through last night!

The Texas Tech soccer team opened with a 1-0 win at Hawaii. Not a bad place and way to start the season.

Former Red Raider QB Behren Morton got some action late with New England, but the Pats missed the winning FG in a 13-13 tie. The Dolphins go tonight so we should see some Jacob Rodriquez and Caleb Douglass in action this evening. Football. Welcome back.

It’s been a nice and quiet week of work for Texas Tech Football. No major negative stories like injuries or Patrick Mahomes demanding the school stop using his name. . . like at some place like LSU. What a crazy story there.

We’ll talk about all of that plus find out what the Most Texan Thing was you did this week and What You Learned This Week and more on The Daily Broadcast. Join us LIVE at 5:30 Central via Twitter/X, the Raiderland YouTube Channel and the Raiderland Facebook Page. All FREE!
