Welcome to the weekend! On this Friday edition of The Tom Barfield Show, Tom and Lark are in the studio gearing up for a massive holiday weekend as America celebrates its historic 250th birthday! The guys kick off the show debating whether today should actually be a day off, highlighting some fun alternative holidays like National Independent Beer Run Day and American Redneck Day. Tom also digs into some history, reflecting on the final day of the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, before Lark shares a hilarious slip-up about his own wedding year.

Then, the show welcomes BYU legend, Heisman Trophy winner, and member of the 2015 Texas Sports Hall of Fame class, Ty Detmer! Ty joins the program from Arizona to discuss his current role coaching at Gilbert North, what it was like playing for his father in Texas, and his thoughts on whether BYU qualifies as a "blue blood" program. He also shares incredible insights on winning the Heisman, his time in the NFL backing up Brett Favre in Green Bay, and how high school coaches can balance tactical control while still letting their quarterbacks play free.

Finally, Lark checks the summertime scoreboard, explaining how World Cup action has shifted the weekend's Major League Baseball slate—giving the Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers a rare Friday off. Plus, the guys look ahead to next week’s massive lineup, including Big 12 Media Days at The Star in Frisco!
