Ryan Hyatt

Ryan Hyatt first called Lady Raider Basketball during the 1988-89 season. He became the first full-time voice of the Lady Raiders in 1991-92 as the Lady Raiders had every game that year broadcast on a commercial station/network for the first time. Hyatt has served as the voice of the Lady Raiders for every season since 1993. In addition to his work with the Lady Raiders, Hyatt has called Texas Tech Baseball action over the years as well as doing work with the Tech football and men’s basketball networks as well as working Texas Tech Volleyball matches on radio and TV in the early 1990’s. Hyatt also owns his own broadcasting company, producing The Williams and Hyatt Show, a daily sports call-in show from 4-7 each afternoon on SportsRadio 1340 KKAM. Hyatt has won numerous awards over the years, the latest from the Texas Association of Broadcasters for his call during the 2004 Lady Raider game vs. Texas.

Hyatt enjoys playing guitar (poorly), fly-fishing(again, poorly) as well as Texas history and taking in live music whenever and where ever.

Hyatt is married to Ropesville native Tessa Stamps. They just had their first child, and they still have one ornery cat.

    Mr. Hyatt,

    I am a recent Tech grad now back home working in Dallas (missing Lubbock more than I ever thought I could) and just got to wondering if you answered questions either on your blog or via email? If so, I would like to ask you what you think the Red Raiders need to do to improve our defense to a point that would allow us to compete at that next level at the top of the Big 12 every year?

    Ryan,

    I fully agree that our team is not tough enough. I wasn’t able to catch any of Mike Leach’s comments after the game, but I’ve read some since, and as far as I can tell, no one that matters is sayin so. It’s all “we just didn’t make plays” or “we were just trying too hard”. As a fan that bleeds red and black, I want to see a problem in mid-season diagnosed correctly and rememdied quickly, but it seems to me that the source of the problem is being overlooked. Should I be worried?

    Love the blog, gentlemen! I am in a land far, far away from you with much more ice, wild rice and walleye but in skowering — is that a word — the blogscape, I happily came across this site. Excellent reading!

    Here’s a link that might give you some insight as to who is on the red-light committee if you didn’t already know. http://lubbockcountyregister.blogspot.com/2008/01/exclusive-red-light-cam-committee.html
