Happy Monday, Y’all !
You made it! Welcome to Game Week, Texas Tech fans. The wait is over.
Everything feels right in Raiderland after a weekend of some college football that mattered, a few good games and a TCU flop to get us going. Now we begin the routine of Game Week around here. Monday Coaches pressers out at Texas Tech. Follow up with some players on Tuesday to whet your appetite for ACU destruction. We’ll get into all of that and more on The Daily Broadcast tonight with y’all, but first, a little announcement to start the week.
In honor of football being back, we’re gonna celebrate by having lunch with y’all each Tuesday at Noon. Join us as we broadcast LIVE each Tuesday at lunch from Portillo’s here in Lubbock. Portillo’s brought Chicago Style Street Food to West Texas earlier this year and we love it! From the iconic Chicago dog to hot Italian sandwiches and more (yep, you can get a cold beer if you’d like) Portillo’s is a great lunch and supper spot. Come see us LIVE tomorrow at Noon at 5301 Milwaukee Avenue in Lubbock. Right as you enter Canyon West Shopping Center, easy in and easy out. If you’ve never tried Portillo’s nows your chance! We can’t wait to see some old friends and make some new ones each Tuesday here in Raiderland!
So, factor that in for this week and get ready to hang out in Raiderland!
Meanwhile on the Monday night Daily Broadcast, we’ll make our Official Texas Tech Football season predictions and take yours as well. From records to any other prediction, get ready to fire-away on the show tonight.We’ll recap the weekend’s action and check in on the latest sports and courts issues as it looks like it is the SEC vs LSU right now when it comes to letting former NFL players come back and play in college.

Ultimate Weekend Warrior
On Mondays around here, we celebrate the Warriors of the World.
Give us your Top Three Ultimate Weekend Warriors each Monday. The folks from the world of sports or others who got it done and made it happen. We’ll give you a couple to prime the pump, you can add some here on the site or on FacebookX pages.
- Scottie Scheffler. A Longhorn we can appreciate. Finished off the golf world in style the last two weeks and takes the FedEx Championship. He’s a machine and impossible to root against.
- The Texas Tech Volleyball team. They got their first win of the season in Laramie this weekend, 3-2 over St. Thomas.
- Former Texas Tech QB Behren Morton is now New England Patriots QB3 after making the Final Cut Sunday. Great to see what he can do when he’s healthy.
That’s just a couple to get you going. Who makes your list today?
Raiderland Hot Links
Each morning we serve ’em up, Fresh and Hot. The best links from Raiderland and Beyond!
My “warrior” is Lane Kiffin – yeah, that guy – for sticking to his guns and calling out the NCAA for it’s nonsense.
But I’m a little disappointed in you for using the phrase, “ former NFL players” – you know and I know that you know why it’s being used but it only tells part of the story – a classic liberal propaganda move – let the headline be the lead and bury the truth – and that’s why I’m surprised that you used it.
Well, they are technically considered “former” NFL players.
Gotta be correct or the incorrect police will come after us!
Hyatt
“Former” isn’t the word in question, it’s the initials “NFL”
People see that headline and think Joe Burrow is returning to his alma mater. We know better. The SEC knows better. ESPN knows better. And all the Johnny come lately podcasters know it (well, actually, some may not)
Tell the WHOLE story or don’t tell it at all.
And you been doing precisely that which is why you are ahead of the class most of the time.
I mean c’mon, when you wear your Packers jersey does that make you a member of the team?
