Happy Monday, Y’all !

Quite the weekend around Raiderland these past few days!

Geroge Strait got it going on Friday, Texas Tech Softball kept the party going out west winning the Big 12 Championship with a sweep of Arizona State, Texas Tech Baseball got swept at home by Oklahoma State and the NFL teams kept drafting and signing Red Raiders. And then we finished Sunday off with 50-MPH winds and a dirt storm. You gotta love West Texas.

Obviously we’ll have plenty of great stuff to talk about when we gather for The Daily Broadcast tonight at 5:30 Central on X, the Raiderland YouTube Channel and our Facebook Page. All platforms always FREE so subscribe to each one and never miss a thing.

One thing we’ll talk about is Texas Tech Baseball and how far they have fallen the past two seasons. Don Williams has a fantastic piece this morning dissecting where Texas Tech HC Tim Tadlock thinks things have gone wrong. Tadlock shoulders a lot of the blame. We can respect that.

Paying for table side and they use pre gated parm and bagged lettuce. If I’m paying $21 for table side I want to watch that server’s bicep swell as they work the microplane. And I’m not accepting anything less than someone picking the lettuce leaves off a fake tree. https://t.co/upBfNBGvha
