December 13, 2024 Ryan Hyatt Raiderland Hot-Links, West Texas, Pop-Culture, Questions Of The Day 0

Brought to you in part by Wood’s Boot City in Lubbock. Tons of new items ready for Christmas and the new year. Head on over, one money saving mile outside the West Loop on 19th St and tell them we said hello!

Happy Friday, Y’all !

We made it to Friday.

Just seems like this week really moved slow but I have a feeling next week will be the opposite so we might as well enjoy it. No Texas Tech hoops til Monday so we’ll focus on the portal and the NFL this weekend. That plus the greatness that is Army/Navy.

We’ll be with you tonight for The Daily Broadcast, LIVE at 6:30 Central, so don’t miss out. Join in on X, YouTube or Facebook, your choice. Here’s a look at the Thursday show in case you missed it:

Daily Broadcast: Worst/Best Christmas Songs, Bill Belichick Gets His “NFL” Job At UNC And He Can Win There, Texas Tech Portal Hires Plus Great Viewer Comments/Questions . . .

Most Texan Thing

You know the drill. Each Friday we want to know the Most Texan Thing you did this past week. Big our small tell us about it in the comments below. We’ll tell our Texan Story tonight on TDB.

Now go enjoy some Hot Links on a Friday and make this day great. See ya tonight!

Watching @CollieronTV's @RedRaiderNation, the chyron shows HESTER NAMED DIRECTOR OF OPS.
And I'm thinking he's better suited for director of OBP. https://t.co/94563YDwVY

I'm not sure what surprised me more; that Texas Tech has the most bowl appearances in the new #Big12 or that UCF — who has only been in the FBS since 1996 — has more than Kansas. pic.twitter.com/t9RqpXaGzx
