If it’s not well known at this point, you should know this before you know anything else: I have a top three when it comes to Big 12 teams insofar as who I like and appreciate it when they play well.
TCU is at the top, by miles and miles, of course.
Next, basically in a tie, are West Virginia and Iowa State. I think my fondness for WVU is because we joined the Big 12 at the same time, and there’s something about being in realignment limbo that brings fanbases together.
My appreciation for Iowa State comes from the fact that their fans are so wild ass they’ll drink Busch starting at 4 am for a game that doesn’t kick until the sun has risen and set again.
