Brought to you in part by Lifts West Hotel And Condominium in Red River, New Mexico. In the hear of town, Lifts West puts you and your family right in the middle of the action. Or the relaxation of sitting by a mountain river…or hiking. You get the idea. If the mountains are calling, call our friend Billy Hurst at Lifts West and tell him we sent you!

Happy Thursday, Y’all !

The (British)Open is underway this morning and we’re still waiting for Ludvig Aberg to tee-off. Thankful we didn’t have a 4 AM wake-up call for golf in West Texas. With his tee-time at 9AM that will give us several hours of sports-stuff to get through the day.

Wednesday gave us Argentina beating England to advance to the World Cup finals Sunday against Spain. I’ll admit it. I’ll miss the World Cup when it’s gone. Part of the allure has been seeing fans and players from other countries embrace Texas and America. Part of the allure has been the fact that most games have been compelling if not exciting. Part of it was that it was on in our time zone. All of it thought made for good viewing during the dead of July. We thank you soccer.

All of that to say, that it feels like Football Time now. We’re officially in the back half of July. Days not weeks away from players reporting and doing football-like things. Even practice reports and over-hyped player analysis await us. It feels good. So, we declare Football Season Open here in Raiderland.

We’ll discuss all of that and more on The Daily Broadcast tonight plus whatever news the day brings us. There’s always more. Join us LIVE at 5:30 Central via Twitter/X, the Raiderland YouTube Channel with is a few folks away from 900 valued subscribers plus our fun and growing Raiderland Facebook Page. All FREE always, thanks to our great sponsors.

If you got busy and missed the Wednesday night show, here ya go:

Get after the day, have some fun, eat well and then get your questions and comments ready to go for the show tonight.
