Been listening to the show since the beginning back when his wife was doing the intros. The show has really gone downhill ever since they stopped bring that guys brother on as a guest. Just kidding. Great podcast for texas tech content. Spencer could stop saying "uhm" so much.

I think I have been listening from close to the beginning of this podcast. The boys have great statistics and when they derail and go on a tangent that you almost want to turn off, hold on, because Michael will say one thing each episode that cracks me up. Thank you for being my die hard TTU buddies while moving from Texas to Florida. Let the tortillas (forever figuratively of course) fly!

Love the thorough explanation and analysis of Texas Tech sports. I listen while car-pooling my kids around from drop off to extra-curriculars. Y’all do a great job of breaking down the game and the previews are wonderful. The check-in of other Texas Tech sports are an added bonus and has made me now follow Red Raider Soccer and the Lady Raiders much closer in the last season. Thanks for all you do!

Female listener here but I probably know more about football than my Red Raider husband. I appreciate the preview podcasts before each game/season as I usually don’t watch many other big 12 games. I LOVE the instant reaction because I am ALWAYS right there with you laughing or crying or cussing excessively. Strong predictions/high expectations this year gentleman… our thoughts and prayers are with your poor future broken hearts. 👆
