Brought to you in part by Domino’s Pizza. Two Monday Night Football games means you should get two pizzas. At least!

Get their app, get some pizza and get some great deals! Had the double pepperoni thin crust this weekend and it was perfect!

Happy Monday, Y’all !

No. Really. It’s a good Monday. The Dallas Cowboys didn’t lose. . . So you got that going for ya!

Texas Tech fans everywhere would like to thank Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs for being that steady rock out there this fall. They did it again Sunday afternoon, taking down San Francisco ( again ). Mahomes wasn’t great. Unless you count making plays and figuring out how to maximize the weapons he has great, and I do. The KC defense is even better this year than last. Tech fans needed something Sunday and Mahomes delivered.

Tonight on The Daily Broadcast we look at how Texas Tech will rebound from the Baylor debacle. What did we see that is systemic and what is correctable? We’ll get your Helmet Stickers handed out for folks who were awesome and maybe find out the confidence level in the Tech fanbase this week. Y’ll are on a whipsaw lately with Joey McGuire and the Red Raiders. We talk about that on our commentary today as well. So, join the show LIVE at 6:30 tonight on X, YouTube and Facebook. Follow all of our platforms and never miss a thing.

Speaking of miss a thing, if you missed Raiderland Rewind this weekend, here ya go:

See ya at 6:30 tonight!

What Do We Know This Week

Each Monday we start the week finding out what we know. Even what we don’t know.

What do you know this week about:

Texas Tech.

The Big 12.

College Football.

The NFL.

West Texas Weather.

Post a few thoughts in the comments and we’ll break it down tonight on TDB.

Helmet Stickers

Each Monday we celebrate folks who have been Awesome by handing out Raiderland Helmet Stickers.

Who get’s yours this week, sports or non-sports?

I’ll take Texas Tech soccer off the board. This is the program at Texas Tech right now that other programs need to take a look at. Mentally tough on the road and winners. Good combo for Tom Stone.

Raiderland Hot Links

Each morning we serve ’em up fresh and hot. The best links from around Raiderland and beyond!

  1. I’m reminded of your comments about Dallas Cowboys fans being enablers and am wondering at what point the same can be said about Tech and it’s fan base – especially now that it’s “officially” a professional sport with paid “free agent” athletes.

    We went back and forth a bit on the post game about Tech’s vertical/downfield passing game – that format didn’t allow for a proper explanation of my frustration with it.

    First of all, yes, I agree that they have the full compliment of route packages in the playbook – and they occasionally use them all.

    My complaint is the non-productive plays and the frequency in which they are called. By necessity, Morton needs to throw quickly. If it isn’t “1,2,3, throw” and it stretches to a count of 4, 5, or 6 that’s more often than not a dead play. We all hate the 0 yd receiver screen to the boundary and have said so often – it’s a wasted play. Poor “battleship” strategery as you were saying.

    To me, the 20+ yd vertical routes, usually straight down the numbers are also wasted plays. Many times Morton never even gets the throw off. You can’t see them on TV because the camera isn’t on them until the ball is thrown. But in the stadium, I watch ‘em. And they aren’t open. No one gets separation but these plays are called over and over and over. (I’m not using the word never here, occasionally a play does get made – it’s the success rate that bothers me)

    And, it’s why I’m in the play Micah camp because he’s one of the few that’s good at the scramble drill and can get open. However, Morton rarely sees him. I would think that would show up in the film room but nothing ever changes.

    As for the rest of CFB, I’m beginning to think more and more that it’s scripted and that there truly is only a handful of lead actors – everyone else are bit players and extras.

    Time to spend my time and money elsewhere.
