Happy Thursday, Y’all !

Happy British Open Day for those who celebrate. We get to say things like course and act like we know what we’re talking about. Of course if you’ve played the Rawls Course out at Texas Tech, you’ve played links course and you actually do know what you’re talking about. That’s another reason why we love Texas Tech guys like Ludvig Aberg and the amateur Connor Graham this week. If you can handle West Texas in the Spring, you can handle Royal Portrush in the Summer.

We’ll be looking at that, Texas Tech Football and Big 12 notes plus much more tonight on The Daily Broadcast. Join in LIVE tonight at 6:30 Central via Twitter/X, YouTube or Facebook Live. Your choice, all of our channels always FREE!

Over, Under, Rated Right Thursday

Each Thursday in Raiderland we get to rating things. Some things in life are highly overrated, some things underrated and some are rated just right.

This week we’re looking at comedians. Old and New and everyone in between. Why guys, and gals, are under the radar funny, who gets more attention than you think they deserve and which ones are rated just right?

Fire away in the comments and we’ll have a laugh or two tonight discussing this on The Daily Broadcast.

You've also got to figure in the revenue sharing money, since Texas Tech is one of the few schools to go on record with how they're splitting up those funds (via @AJ_DonWilliams). The number looks great but lacks all context of how it would get there.https://t.co/OvyZNujna5 https://t.co/28Sfs5zsBR

Offseason spending on the Texas Tech football program's raised eyebrows nationwide. TCU's Sonny Dykes has a unique view with his ties to the program.https://t.co/EY6qIM06XT

The day after the '56 All Star game a plane crashed killing all 62 on board. Bud Grant & Rollie Miles changed to an earlier flight. Jackie Parker & Norm Kwong were also booked on the flight, but Parker decided to visit relatives and Kwong stayed to court the women he would marry pic.twitter.com/FSuUCxFN0O
