Happy Thursday, Y’all !

How’s the week going?

Seems like it’s crawling by without a lot of CFB or Basketball to get into. At least we have Army/Navy this weekend. Who are y’all rooting for? I’ve got family on both sides, but closes relatives are Army so it’s Go Army around here this weekend. Still one of single best sporting events on American soil.

As for Texas Tech, a few days before the Tech men hit the floor and the Lady Raiders couldn’t get going last night in Dallas losing a close one to SMU. On the portal front Tech landed a highly ranked OT from Illinois State in the form of Hunter Zambrano. He just sounds like a football playing dude.

We’ll get into all of that and more with you tonight on The Daily Broadcast. Join the other thousands on X, YouTube and or Facebook Live. Live at 6:30 we start taking your questions and comments. If you missed the Wednesday What IF show, here ya go:

Daily Broadcast: Texas Tech Gets A Top Portal OT, Rich Rod Back To WVU, Bill Belichick To UNC, And What If – Texas Tech Hired Ruffin Instead Of Tuberville? Lots To Talk About, So Let’s Get To It!

See ya tonight at 6:30.

Over, Under, Rated Right Thursday

On Thursdays, we rate things.

This week we get your thoughts on Christmas music and Christmas songs. By now you either are fully involved and love hearing them or you got tired of them on the radio and other places a week ago. I’m in the Christmas music year ’round camp. Love the songs. I get those who don’t though. A lot of them, particularly of recent vintage, are garbage just released to make a quick buck.

So, give us your most underrated, overrated and rated right Christmas songs.

Here’s a few of ours.

Underrated: “Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time”. Paul McCartney nailed it on this one years ago. It remains fresh today and captures gleeful element of the holiday. It’s like he’s a great musician or something.

Overrated: “Little Drummer Boy”. Any version. A absolute dial-changer for me when it comes on. Never understood the fascination with a little boy bothering Jesus who was just trying to get some sleep.

Rated Right: “Here Comes Santa Claus” Gene Autry. The Gold Standard of non-hymnal Christmas songs. It’s catchy and has a fantastic message if you listen all the way through. Nothing better so no way for it to be underrated.

OK, there’s a few of ours. Give us your list in the comments below and we’ll see ya tonight on TDB.
