2024 Big 12 Preview

Even Utah is working on its transition to the Big 12. I remember how cocky their fans were in 2011 and it was glorious to deny them a spot in the first P12 CCG that year.

In Maryland there's a lot of discussion about whether Royal Farms, Wawa, or Sheetz is the best gas station superstore.

I've been in the habit of being a pretentious prick who says we're above edifying such garbage institutions in my home state of Colorado.

Everyone catching this beaver fever is really, personally, distressing.

I liked Wawa when I had a chance to visit one on the east coast.

Best Love’s in Colorado is near Berthoud on I-25 since it has Taco John’s and Subway. Buc-ee’s is north of that. Truck stop competition is only going to get hotter thanks to the Feds approving the upgrading of US 87 between Raton and Amarillo to I-27 in the coming years.

This state had a serious shortage of truck stops for too long and getting QuikTrip into this state was a good step forward.

Much better than more Runza’s in CO.
 
160 days until the first day in the Big 12 (August 2nd).

Don’t think that is enough time for Flying J to construct a massive truck stop with a Runza just outside the Boulder City limits on 119 so that site will not have to pay any Boulder carbon taxes. At least there should be a sizable bicycle parking lot for those people who wear white short sleeve button shirts with name tags on them to fuel up before cycling into town.

How Deion Sanders is building upon initial hype at Colorado as he eyes bowl game for team in Year 2

Sanders impressed in Year 1, but is there enough in the tank for a sophomore leap?

Pretty fair article except I think missing out on another bowl would be disappointing.

At the end of the day, Arizona and Colorado offseason has flipped their overall programs but the perception is carried by last year and Arizona has an elite perception while Colorado has a terrible perception. It is what it is. Outsiders aren't invested in what we are doing and they don't trust Prime doing it. It's not just our players who gotta earn the nation's trust back, it's Prime as well and he knows it.

And the same goes for CU's record since leaving the Big 12. Hopefully the start of a good era at CU in the B12.
 
KSU's offense was too complicated at times last season according to Chris Klieman.

While Chris Klieman and the Kansas State Wildcats finished off the 2023 season with a 9-4 record and sixth place in the Big 12 Conference, in the eyes of the Wildcats head coach, sometimes the offense was doing a bit too much. Klieman spoke for the first time ahead of spring football and...
