Happy Monday, Y’all !

It was a nice, boring weekend. Just about perfect for this time of year. So far this Monday, nothing crazy going on. We’ll take it because things are about to start cooking when it comes to Texas Tech sports and of course the NFL gets cranking this week with training camps getting going.

With that as a back-drop, we’ll star the week with y’all tonight on The Daily Broadcast. We’ll have whatever the day brings us and a little more. Always more. We’ve still got five more days of America 250 to celebrate this great country of ours. So join in LIVE at 5:30 Central via Twitter/X, Raiderland YouTube Channel or our growing Facebook Page.

No Friday show, but we did have some Saturday thoughts you might have missed, so here ya go:

The Saturday Column With No Name – There Will Be Lawyers And Sometimes That’s Great For Texas Tech/College Basketball, Let’s Dress For Work This Fall For Tech Football Plus Some Señor Sack Saturday Action

Now, go attack the day like Gabe Rivera going after an SMU QB and then get your questions and comments ready for tonight. We’ll see y’all at 5:30.
