8/20/24: Tuesday’s Best – Hole In The Wall Mexican Food Places, Raiderland Hot Links Featuring Texas Tech, Vintage Texas Rangers/Billy Martin Fired, First Ever NFL TD Celebration, Saved By The Bell Turns 35 & Baby, It’s Hot Outside!

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

Brought to you in part by The Reserve, A Culinary Tavern. Great, fun creative food, awesome atmosphere and cool drinks. What more do you want? Oh and they love Texas Tech and you can catch all the games there even though it’s not a sports bar. So… check it out next time you’re on Quaker and 103rd St. You’ll be glad you did.

Happy Tuesday, Y’all !

Welcome to Tuesday.

Just keep telling yourself that this time next week, it’ll be day two of Game Week for Texas Tech.

Tonight on The Daily Broadcast we’ll see who you are picking to win the Big 12. Will it be Utah or Kansas St.? Would you take the field over those two teams? Wouldn’t be a bad bet in my opinion if the Big 12 is as really deep and parity is as strong as the “experts” say it is.

We’ll have that plus Tuesday’s Best LIVE at 6:30. Join the show via X, YouTube or Facebook Live. Your choice!

Tuesday’s Best

Each Tuesday we give you a topic and you give us the two best examples you can think of.
