Texas Tech is back in action against Abilene Christian! 🏈

On today’s episode, I preview the matchup and talk about what I want to see from the Red Raiders heading into the game.

Can the defense pick up where it left off? Can Will Hammond continue making plays? And can Texas Tech take care of business against ACU?

I break down the matchup, the players I’m watching, and what I’m expecting on the latest Flatland Sports Podcast.

LSU is bringing former NFL players back to college football, and the SEC has now created a rule addressing it. But why was the media reaction so different when Texas Tech and Brendan Sorsby were at the center of a similar debate over exploiting a flawed system?

I break down the LSU situation, the SEC's new policy, the media double standard, and why the penalty matters more than the rule.

Also, I attempt to say "ambiguous." I absolutely butcher it. 😂

The Flatland Sports Podcast is BACK!

After what was supposedly an uneventful summer, Chris Johnston breaks down one of the wildest offseasons in recent Texas Tech history.

We start with the Brendan Sorsby saga, including the gambling investigation, his legal battle with the NCAA, the fallout at Texas Tech and the bigger questions surrounding gambling, NIL and college athletics.

Then we get into Steve Sarkisian's comments about Texas Tech's schedule, Joey McGuire's response — “Schedule us” — and Cody Campbell's offer to help pay the buyouts. Why didn't Texas and Texas Tech actually play? And what happened to the old-school culture of college football where you simply settled things on the field?

Then there's Tommy Castellanos.

The former Florida State starting quarterback potentially gives Texas Tech a proven Power Four backup behind Will Hammond. We break down what Castellanos brings to the Red Raider offense and why his addition makes sense.

And in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, we discuss:

🏀 Texas Tech's LOADED basketball roster

🏈 Texas Tech starting the season ranked No. 12

🏈 The unprecedented Dae’Quan Wright situation

👹 The Big 12's controversial Monster sponsorship deal

Plus plenty of Texas Tech football, basketball, Big 12 discussion and the usual shallow, fairly obvious observations and nuggets of useless information.

Thanks for listening to the Flatland Sports Podcast from across the Great Plains of West Texas!
