Happy Thursday, Y’all !

This week is moving along nicely. Aside from the predictable outcome of Texas Tech Baseball yesterday, at least we had some day games to watch and get us to Texas Tech Softball tonight. The most anticipated Tech Softball game in history. Folks everywhere learning rules and terminology. It’s great!

We will talk about that tonight with y’all on The Daily Broadcast LIVE at 6:30 Central on X, YouTube and Facebook. Follow on all of our platforms and never miss a thing. All FREE. Always.

If you missed our recap of Texas Tech’s season ending loss Wednesday, here’s Diamond Talk from last night. We had more than a few things to sort through.

Diamond Talk: Texas Tech Baseball Limps To Finish Line, Losing 6-5 To Cincinnati At Big 12 Tournament. Worst Since Season Since 1985. What’s Next For The Program? What Needs To Change And Why? Our Thoughts, Your Great Comments/Questions!

Over, Under, Rated Right Thursday

Each Thursday we give you a topic and you get to rating things. Pretty simple. Sometimes sports, sometimes not. This week, we’re going sports. This one is a little tricky today. Semantics come into play a bit.

Give us the most over, under and rated right Sports Dynasties of all-time.

Like we said, this is tough because by definition a dynasty team has to be great, right? But are some more valued than others? yes. Some discounted? Yes.

So fire-away in the comments below and let’s discuss in-depth tonight on TDB.
