Happy Monday, Y’all !
We got a lot of things going on this week.
Texas Tech MBB back in action tonight with another game coming up Saturday, CFB portal season is treating Tech right so far and we’ll know more this week which Red Raiders will or won’t play in the Liberty Bowl against Arkansas. We’ve got links to the portal updates in Hot Links today and will talk about them tonight on TDB. Probably have another one or two signees by then for Tech Football.
One for sure is QB Behren Morton. Tech announced over the weekend he had shoulder surgery. Makes sense. He didn’t look right for a lot of the season. No telling what all he played through. In years past, you might have seen a guy wait another week or two to have the surgery, but in the age of opt-outs and meaningless bowl games thanks in part to the playoff, there’s really no need to wait. The bigger question for Tech is what the offensive line will look like playing in front of Fr. QB Will Hammond. Expect of lot of him running against Arkansas. Some by design, so to stay alive! Bowl games. Gotta love ’em…
We’ll get into that and much more including the Patrick Mahomes injury late in the Chiefs win over Cleveland on Sunday. They say no fracture on the ankle, but you could tell he was hobbled. 3 games in 11 days for KC and he might not be available…and should he be? We’ll ask that question on The Daily Broadcast tonight when we go LIVE with y’all at 6:30 Central on X, YouTube and Facebook Live. Never miss a show and subscribe to all of our platforms. All FREE!
Here’s our show from Friday night if you want to catch up on things in Raiderland:
Raiderland Helmet Stickers
Highly coveted and sought-after, we’re making Helmet Stickers Great Again!
Each Monday we start the week of celebrating awesomeness. Sports or otherwise, if it was awesome, we want to recognize it. We’ll give you a couple here, more tonight on TDB. Post yours in the comment section and invite your friends to add theirs!
- Texas Tech Lady Raider Basketball. They got the program’s first win ever at Arkansas on Sunday 75-72. Lot of trips in the old days of the SWC that were close, but no cigar. Hated to see the Hogs leave in 1992 before Tech got really good and could beat them there. A program first again for Krista Gerlich. She’s responsible for a few of those.
- Abernathy native and Army QB Bryson Daily for finishing higher than any other South Plains/West Texas athlete in the Heisman Voting this weekend, finishing 6th. Pretty cool. Only Donny Anderson has finished higher. Obviously the Army/Navy game didn’t go his way, but still made history.
- My washing machine. With our son back for the holidays it was on overload this weekend. A warrior of a machine! Unreal how many clothes that young man was able to get in his truck and return home with. . .
OK, there’s a few of ours. Now go Make Helmet Stickers Great Again!
What We Know This Week
You’ve got to start the week knowing a few things. It’s vital. From college football, basketball to the NFL, and everything in life….what do you know this week.
Here’s one thing we know this week: We are within five or six years of seeing college athletes not only be paid employees of the school, but they will also not necessarily be students at the school they play for.
When they become employees, it’s going to be easy for the players to say they don’t have to be enrolled at the school to work there. Wait for it. Some may decide to take advantage of the education, some won’t. We discuss this on today’s “60 Seconds of Raiderland” commentary, so give it a listen.
If you think it’s crazy, go back ten years and tell me you’d see everything we’re seeing in college sports happen right now…
