Texas Tech Vs. Arizona Predictions, Most Texan Thing You Did This Week, Raiderland Hot Links Featuring: The Brand, Texas Tech Soccer, Young’s Epic Run, RIP Sir Patrick Stewart, HBD Fonzie, Cowboy Quotes & A Wet West Texas

Brought to you in part by The Reserve Culinary Tavern on 103rd and Quaker. A great date night spot or weekend brunch, the Reserve has a little something for everyone. The atmosphere is relaxing and yes, you can always enjoy the Texas Tech games there with friends and family! Drop by and tell Nick Raiderland sent you their way! And don’t forget the onion rings!

Happy Friday, Y’all !

Made to Friday!

The rain is coming down this morning in West Texas. About an inch so far around Raiderland HQ. We’ll never turn down rain. Looks like that’s the game plan for the rest of the day into Saturday morning. Hopefully moves out by game time for Texas Tech and Arizona. Either way, good boots and a jacket should be required!

It is finally time for y’all to go on the line and make your Official Predictions for Texas Tech vs Arizona. Texas Tech opened as a four-point favorite and went down to -3 before settling back at -3.5 this morning. We’ll see how much more movement there is, but we don’t expect much right now. The total is 55 most spots with a lone 54.5 hanging out there so that’s a good sign on where the smart folks think this game will land. Low 20s or so, one way or the other…

We’ll have our predictions for you tonight on The Daily Broadcast as well as all the other news of the day. College Basketball is also sneaking up on us with Texas Tech MBB opening Monday night against Jackson State. That seemed to happen quickly. Join us this evening LIVE at 5:30 Central on any of our FREE platforms.

Most Texan Thing

Each Friday, for a couple of decades now, we’ve asked you folks one simple question around here on a Friday.

What’s The Most Texan Thing You Did This Week?

Big or small, the world needs more Texans doing Texan-Like Things. This week, a lot of y’all probably did the Texas Two-Step. Running the AC and the Heater in the same day. Some of us have been relearning how to drive on muddy roads after the last few weeks. It’s been a minute, but we’re getting back in the grove. . .

So fire away here with the Most Texan Thing you did this week and we’ll discuss more tonight on The Daily Broadcast!
