Related Topics: Big 12 Conference, Basketball

The current members of the Big 12 have got a pretty good thing going. Football is reasonably competitive for most of the teams in the conference and the basketball round-robin makes for an exciting lead up to March. What do each of these teams bring to the metaphorical Big 12 Tailgate?

Perfectly cooked beef brisket. It's delicious and the Longhorns have brought it to every game for as long as anyone can remember. It's expected to be there and be amazing, so it makes people irrationally angry when they don't show up. Though it does provide a great opportunity to knock them down a couple of pegs by pointing out how consistent the Horned Frogs have become.
