Welcome to the Heartland College Sports Big 12 Football mailbag. This mailbag is for all you football junkies out there who root for a Big 12 school and not only have questions about your team but other teams in the conference as well.
So, join me, grab a can, bottle, or glass of your favorite beverage, and relax as I answer all your Big 12 questions. I want to thank each one of you who submitted a question this week. For tonight’s drink of choice, take a look for yourself. Cheers!
Duke: This is a really tough question, but I will give it a try.
#1 Baylor vs. Auburn (SEC! SEC! SEC!)
#2 Cincy vs. Nebraska on a neutral field (A chance to shut the Huskers up is nice plus, I expect that to be a big national game.)
#3 TCU at North Carolina (Beating Bill Belichick? Yes, please.)
#4 Colorado vs. Georgia Tech (I am sorry, but Georgia Tech doesn’t move the needle for me.)
#5 Utah at UCLA (UCLA won’t even be a top ten team in the Big Ten)
Duke: Kyle, my man, I love you but are you trying to get me hurt? Anyone who welcomes me to their tailgate is awesome and I appreciate everyone that does. With that said, I will see you on August 30th in Ames!
Duke: Glad to see you back in the mailbag Robert! I have not yet released my full order of finish yet but I will this week during my podcast and also release the full list on X as well. As for the group rankings, I believe we have something in the works for that already. Thanks!
Duke: This may sound obvious, but you should always say your rival. You always want to beat your rival. Even if it’s a non-conference game. Why? Bragging rights for a whole year!
Duke: I really hope they do. Iowa State has some of the best throwback logos in all of college football and it bothers me every time I see that stupid block I logo. Is there anyone out there that would prefer the block I over the script Cyclones? If so, we cant be friends.
Duke: Here would be my top five Big 12 non-conference games.
#1 Iowa State vs Iowa
#2 Baylor vs Auburn
#3 Arizona State at Mississippi State
#4 TCU vs SMU
#5 Kansas at Missouri
Duke: Aiden Wyatt 100%. He abuses me verbally and physically when nobody is around.
Duke: I may get a lot of crap for this, but I do not enjoy Guinness. I don’t do dark beer at all so no I will not be making any Irish Car Bombs. However, I will definitely have an Irish coffee to start my morning that day. I absolutely love those things.
