6/20/24: Either/Or Thursday, Raiderland Hot Links Featuring Unfiltered Joey McGuire, Billy Joe Tolliver Underrated, Vintage Cowboys/Oilers Plus Jake And Elwood

June 20, 2024 Ryan Hyatt Raiderland Hot-Links, West Texas, Pop-Culture, Questions Of The Day Comments Off

Brought to you in part by our friends at Tall Pine Resort in Red River, NM. Just up the canyon from town, if you’re looking for seclusion and the quiet of the mountains and the peacefulness of the river flowing, Tall Pine is for you!

Happy Thursday Y’all

We’ve got the finals set in the CWS and it’s about what we expected. I thought Florida might have been getting hot at the right time, but Texas A&M too much and Tennessee looks like the kind of team that wins it all. Gonna be a good series starting Saturday, weather permitting. Gotta root for the Vols since they have former Texas Tech pitching coach Frank Anderson running the arms there.

We’ll talk about that and it looks like Tech is about to announce a new softball coach as well today or Friday. They moved quick and we thought they would.

Either/Or Thursday

Each Thursday, tough choices will be made. Think on it for a bit, then post your answer in the comments. We’ll discuss more tonight on The Daily Broadcast, LIVE at 6:30 on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook.

What’s harder to do? Either strike out a major league hitter; OR hit a major league pitcher?

Which skill is more impressive to you and why?

The Texas Quote of the Day is a story that TOT reader Karen Miller Barnes sent in. It was written by her father, Frank Miller, for a book that he wrote. Apparently, Karen's grandfather was a man who knew his mules!

On this day in Texas history, in 1890, poet & ranchman William Lawrence "Larry" Chittenden published "The Cowboys' Christmas Ball" in the Anson Texas Western. Since then it has been set to music and was included in John and Alan Lomax's "Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads." pic.twitter.com/eAbp2dior1
