@18Walz Welcome! If you travel to games, you are going to have a really good time. Many Big 12 cities are small, but with extremely passionate fans. So on GameDay the entire city is rabidly focused on the game.

Woke up this morning feeling like a 100 bucks. The Utah Utes finally have a competent commissioner. Thank you Big 12. Oh… and only one more year of Pac12 refs. Damn that feels good. #goUtes!

@18Walz @LuxWade Ummm....that is one area where you're going to be disappointed. youtu.be/-qWmUUAbAj0

@LuxWade Lux. I promise you. NOTHING is worse than Pac12 refs 😂😂😂😂

@DwightSchru_UTE This will be a nice post to have pinned in a couple of years. Dwight isn't going to want this on record.

Now that we are the top dog in the Big12 we need to lay out some ground rules: -We aren’t happy about being here either, but we’re happy to beat the shit of you while we are -BYU, Cincy, UCF, and whatever that fourth school was are second rate Big12 members who can suck it -Utah is nothing like BYU, do not insinuate any sort of similarities -Rice Eccles is better than Lavell Edwards Stadium, we will ratio you if you post pictures of Lavell Edwards -Whitt is no longer affiliated with BYU -Salt Lake City is more like California than the rest of Utah, spare us your Utah jokes -Utah Mexican food is the only real Mexican food

@EMAWCaleb Flawed data. There's no question that the 4 G5 schools are going to grow in the Big 12 and will now generate substantially more money. I think this will be true for the 4 corners schools as well. AND for the hateful 8 as well, now that the dead weight of UT is off our backs!

All you people care about is money. This country deserves a better class of conference, and we’re gonna give it to them.🃏

@ASU_SuperFan Come to the Big 12 tournament in KC. Kansas City knows how to BBQ.

I am high key excited for more opportunities to sample BBQ in TX, KS and OK.

@alexlaycock4 Welcome to Kindergarten! Ready for some learnin?!?

Top 10 home field advantages in college football

@JustinSouthwell I would think Tech might have more of a rivalry with the Arizona schools than with Houston. West Virgina vs Dana Holgerson will be sic! ISU va WVU = riot bowl.

Work in progress... but it looks like the new Big 12 will have plenty of rivalry opportunities. Am I missing any?

PLEASE give us Bill Walton 😂

@ToddElkins11 @Anything_BigXII What are they going to do, shoot this?

@Anything_BigXII Cowboy,Red Raider and Mountaineer all have firearms. That’s your winners

#BigXII Mascots Wildcat Sun Devil Bear Cougar Bearcat Buffalo Cougar Cyclone Jayhawk Wildcat Cowboy Horned Frog Red Raider Golden Knight Ute Mountaineer Who comes out on top? I’m flustered but I’d have to choose a Cyclone⬇️

So we all hate Utah right? Just want to be in the same page.

@RyanVardeman @CFBcampustour @WallisMarsh Jack Trice has averaged over 95% full over the last two years (back up after COVID) and that ain't changing!

@CFBcampustour @WallisMarsh Gonna look nice 3/4 full on Thursday and Friday nights

2024 Big 12 teams by stadium capacity (updated): BYU 63,470 Iowa St 61,500 Texas Tech 60,454 WVU 60,000 OK State 55,509 Arizona St 53,599 Utah 51,444 Arizona 50,782 Colorado 50,183 K-State 50,000 Kansas 47,233 UCF 45,301 Baylor 45,140 TCU 44,358 Cincinnati 40,000 Houston 40,000

@DeanWLamb @slmandel You think Chicago watches U of I games?!?

@slmandel Illinois would be in there even before Iowa because of the Chicago TV market.

I wrote this 4 years ago, before all the recent major moves. All roads are clearly headed this way, it's just a matter of when/how many will be included. Also: I could see it being more AFC/NFC with ESPN and Fox. theathletic.com/1090554/2019/0…

@zachmauch @slmandel Exactly!

@slmandel If it was that small it would nuke college football and I think they know it. The is only so much that you can consolidate to before it starts hurting fan interest. I'm already concerned we will be starting to get there after losing the multiple PAC school.

@BobFrancis22 @slmandel MUCH better!

@slmandel I literally would have zero interest in watching that league. I watch D-1 college football, because I'm an Iowa State fan. Whatever level Iowa State is a part of, THAT is what I will watch.

@20Baylor14 @jasonscheer We still have room for Pitt, Louisville, VT and NC State, Duke or Miami to get us to 20 teams, where I think things end up.

@jasonscheer They need to go to the MWC. the XII needs room for the ACC schools

Despite the shenanigans of Arizona State president Michael Crow during tonight's Board of Regents meeting, Arizona is confident it will be in the Big 12 with or without ASU.

@SpencerJSpoony You know, I feel like K State Twitter has been much better over the last 6 months. I hope that continues so that I can start liking K State again. To that end, I'll have to continue to purposely avoid Kurtz.

Welcome to the conference, @utahalumni, @ASU_Alumni, and @arizonaalumni!
