Such a terrible broadcast. The insane amount of commercials. Suck ass yuk monkey announcers. Constant studio updates. Give me Fox any day over fucking ESPN.. 

Fox is absolute trash at broadcasts. All the replays that they do that super zoom on the ball carrier so that you can't see anything else on the field drive me insane. It's completely built to attract people that know nothing about sports. Tons of commercial breaks as well.

Except for 4 minutes, Baylor outplayed Texas all game.  It's basically a fluke that Brewer, whose whole family, including his dad, who was a quarterback at Texas, was watching, didn't win the the game with the most potent passing attack in all of college football since the greatest USC team of all time.

Could XII schools be looking into getting a conference mobile app..?

Quote
The Big 12 Network Cometh ? Sorta?

There's an evolution coming of sorts it seems for how the Big 12 pushes its content.or maybe atleast trying to create the perception of a network

Last August The Big 12 announced Mobile App which I think by an large went unnoticed  The trademarks around the service were finally approved in January and I suspect we'll be hearding about this when the spring meetings come to pays

I don't like the name of our conference. I never liked hanging on to the derivative Big and now the number is absurd. 

 I would like the idea (depending on configuration), in a PAC-XII merger, to rename as SouthWest Conference...

Maybe this was discussed on another thread, but since this one was bumped I thought this should be included

https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/college-sports/collegesports/2019/01/29/texas-texas-tech-surpass-20-million-media-rights-revenue-documents-show

Tech reported $21.1 million in media rights, while Texas earned $20.7 million.

That shouldn’t happen, right?

According to the article the overage was due to Basketball.  Tech earned over $5M from hoops.  Perhaps the contract we have in B12 is the more appearances you make on TV, the more you earn?  We suck and Tech has been a top 10-15 the all year (and for a few years actually).  Without rehashing old stories, isnt that a roundabout reason Neb left?  We got good/great in FB about the time they sucked and were on TV all the time, and thus earned a shit load more than everyone else.   I have no problem with Tech out earning us if its b/c their BB team is much better.  Shows we need Shaka to step up.

I'm more of an irony guy. The A&M means nothing in Texas A&M. The 12 means nothing in Big 12, yet A&M is the one who left the conference. They're actually a perfect fit.

So, a&m updates/changes the name of their university by retaining the "a", the "&" and the "m", yet telling us those characters no longer stand for anything, but not dropping them from their name.  Oh, I see, they can't drop those characters without becoming "TEXAS".   They have kind of "aggyed" their name up.  Whoop-de-do.

Anent conference names... XII is pronounced "zee" - not enough syllables for a decent chant or song. "Big Zee" cants okay, but is too inviting of a "RO", and not a boat in sight.

No, I thought of "Heartland" or "Fly-Over", but there are problems there, as well. 

The bestest name of all would "TATO Conference". "TATO" is much stronger than "S-E-C", and more meaningful: "Texas And Them Others" sums it up perfectly.

There is already a D2 Heartland Conference. St. Ed’s is a member in good standing.

ESPN would approve of Fly-Over Conference, though, seeing as how Bristol, CT is such a wonderful town.
