Michael LaBarre: Graduated from Texas Tech University in May 2018 with a B.S in Mathematics and minor in Economics. Born and raised in a town right outside of Dallas called Irving but currently live in Lubbock.

I’m a fly fisherman, ’76 Bronco driver, and bbq enthusiast. I do some sports radio for the Frenship Tiger football and baseball broadcasts and I’m a proud Goin’Band alum. I host the Dinger Derby podcast 100% devoted to Texas Tech Baseball. I believe in the designated hitter, that Nolan Ryan is the greatest of his generation, that state and national parks are precious and important, and that Robert Duvall, John Wayne, and Kevin Costner are as good as it gets. I’m a live music lover, Blue Light regular, and I’m glad to be here on Staking the Plains.
