NEW MILESTONE UNLOCKED!🪖
locked on big 12 is now the doce grande's no. 1 podcast in the country, on both youtube and all audio platforms.
thank you to the everydayers. thank you to the haters. thank you to my mom. let us ride.
west virginia:
you may win this game against iowa, but ESPN will not let you win this game. the refs will not let you win this game. the sport will not let you win this game.
it’s rigged against you. we all see it.
west virginia getting SCREWED by the officials agains iowa.
i get it, caitlin clark has to advance, but this is just embarrassing for the sport at this point.
iowa shot 30 free throws. west virginia shot five.
i don't have to justify that. you don't have to justify that. the mountaineers were supposed to lose this game. there was nothing they could do to win it.
tonight was a shameful display for the sport on national television.
after months of intense battle, the dust has settled. no more arguing. no more debate. and no more polls.
big 12 fans voted, & here is your objective look at the biggest all-sports brands in the league. you can't get mad at me. you all did this.
BYU wins. cougar tails for all.
who evokes terror?🪖🪖🪖
factoring in quality of fanbase, projected wins & home contests with a 'big game' factor, here's locked on big 12's ranking of the toughest places to play in 2023:
for those who say the big 12 is overrated:
BYU just beat kansas. BYU didn’t beat a team who’s streaky or having a good year. they beat a national champion. a blue blood. on the road.
brands don’t change. history is clear on kansas’ elite status. and BYU just took their lunch.
WEEK EIGHT POWER RANKINGS!🪖
top five holds for the first time. BYU rises & falls. TCU plummets. west virginia holds. texas tech falls. baylor leaves the cellar. cincinnati barely avoids the bottom.
where would you put your school?
#docegrande
big 12 in bowl games: 6-1
SEC in bowl games: 0-2
big 12 against SEC in bowl games: 2-0
SEC against big 12 in bowl games: 0-2
i do not make the rules. these are just the facts i’m required to report.
houston got screwed out of a win against texas. the officials, given an opportunity to review a close play, handed the longhorns a win.
that's awful. texas did not win this football game. it was decided for them at the finish line.
the BYU cougars.🪖
it’s not always pretty. it never makes sense. please don’t check the box score.
timely defense & big turnovers turn a cincinnati win into a BYU rout. this team is good in bad ways.
the following is true:
houston is a better basketball team than BYU overall. the cougars had a wide open three to change this game. & a miss certainly hurt.
but we’ve once again been robbed of a spectacular finish by awful officiating. big 12 refs kill this league’s best games.
washington state & oregon state now control the pac-12 and its assets through the impending grace period.
unless the schools reach a deal to secure their future in a another league, they've been granted upwards of $300 million from playoff revenue alone.
this is massive.
lavell edwards stadium is top five, i can tell you that much.
it’s the only stadium where i, a mere talking head in the press box, was rattled.
BYU made a needed change & decided to create the premiere college football atmosphere.
WEEK THREE POWER RANKINGS!🪖
texas leads. cincy plummets. kansas holds. WVU rises. texas tech stays steady. houston bottoms out.
where is your team ranked?
#docegrande
FINAL SCORE PREDICTION.🪖
the road dogs march into fayetteville and win outright. BYU exacts revenge over arkansas to give the big 12 an edge over the SEC. welcome to the power five, cougars.
#docegrande
on-site for opening night of baylor’s new basketball pavilion & this thing is spectacular.
intimate, sleek & state of the art. this far exceeds the standard, and the strategic downsize will pay off.
nails, baylor. nails.
i can’t stop thinking about mark pope.
he’s angry. he’s kind. he’s fragile. he’s aggressive. he’s sweet. he’s salty. he’s not what you expect in a BYU coach. he’s everything you expect in a BYU coach.
i will be watching every cougars game for mark pope. he is entertainment.
who has the BIGGEST brand in the big 12 as of 2023? let’s take a gander.
i get it. your team should be ranked higher. but someone has to be last. how would you rank these 14 schools?
i’ll back up my opinion. here’s a complete breakdown of the list:
THE UCF RIGHT-LEGGED LEGEND.
colton boomer nails a 40-yard field goal to win it at boise state & puts the team on his back with multiple kicks of over 50 yards.
i am in awe of this young man.
A PHOTO FINISH! WASHINGTON STATE RALLIES LATE TO CLAIM A SPOT IN THE BIG 12!
if you didn't know, brett yormark was scanning this poll religiously. i believe, alongside oregon state, our wazzu brethren have proven a point.
the people have spoken. let them both in. passion.
it’s time we come together as the new big 12 and congratulate TCU and kstate for knocking out OU and texas. i think I speak for everyone when i say, we appreciate you! 🪖🔥
super impressive crowd at UCF. if the team catches its stride within the next few years — and it will — this will contend for the best atmosphere in the big 12.
baylor shocks UCF after trailing 35-7 in the second half. 29 unanswered points to complete the largest comeback in school history.
this made zero sense. but it happened. baylor bears. huge for dave aranda.
please welcome

let us ride.🪖🪖🪖
we’re slowly learning BYU would’ve been 10-2 in the SEC, the big 12 was just far superior this season.
it’s sad the cougars got their power five wish but in such a dominant league.
if your loved one is a big 12 basketball ref, they are bad at their job.
i know you love them. i’m sure they’re nice. i get they volunteer. but they’re harboring unimaginable secrets.
and they make the best conference in america unwatchable.
west virginia was picked last in the big 12. they opened the season with a hapless loss and struggled with duquesne at times last week.
but then there's this. everyone showed up. the fanbase rallied around a hurting program. and it's enough to give you chills.
following kansas state's loss to oklahoma state, the big 12 is down to one undefeated team.
neal brown, west virginia, our conference turns its weary eyes to you.
there is a way the big 12 standings look insane this time next week:
1. texas, 7-2
2. oklahoma state, 6-3
2. oklahoma, 6-3
2. texas tech, 6-3
2. kansas state, 6-3
2. iowa state, 6-3
2. west virginia, 6-3
may god have mercy on all of us.
big 12 in bowl games: 4-1
SEC in bowl games: 0-1
big 12 against SEC in bowl games: 1-0
SEC against big 12 in bowl games: 0-1
these are just the facts i’m required to report.
congratulations, TCU fans.
SMU lost more than anyone else today. they burnt their bridges, bought their way into the ACC & now it all falls apart a month later.
they’ll have no conference, no substantial backing & no hope when the ACC inevitably dies. whoops.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS SO BACK!🪖
not everyone can be first. someone has to be last. and this is exactly — without error — how the 2023 season will play out.
after predicting every game in the league, here's how the big 12 standings will look on december 1st. happy football.
AWFUL no call on a texas travel at the end of the game that buries cincinnati.
once again, big 12 basketball officials don’t represent the elite nature of this conference. they retract so much from the product.
the first installment of big 12 power rankings.🪖
this is NOT a prediction for how the league will shake out. it's a combination of last year's success, morale & projected success in 2023.
is your team too high? too low? are you an iowa state fan on life support?
law of averages. not everyone can win the league.
and west virginia especially cannot. i like neal brown, but the clock will strike midnight due to a brutal schedule.
who's the next head man in morgantown?
WAY-TOO-EARLY BIG 12 POWER RANKINGS!🪖
look, it really is too early to nail this. i know you're probably mad. and it can change throughout the offseason. but i promise i can justify the whole list.
give me a chance to explain:
if BYU beats texas i’ll get a BYU tattoo. terms & conditions need not apply. i’m all in.
we’ll do a fun little submission contest. it could be cosmo. the Y. a cougar tail.
@jaromjordan
’s face. you draw it. fans vote.
BYU beats texas and my first tattoo will be a legendary one.
WEEK NINE POWER RANKINGS!🪖
oklahoma dips. kansas rises. day BYU is the big 12's worst team. west virginia up. the top six can all make the big 12 championship. very little separation.
where would you put your school?
#docegrande
CJ donaldson is him.🪖
there is no one player in the big 12 more important to his team. with this offensive line and a ground game led by donaldson, west virginia is scary.
i was wrong. this team is going to create chaos.
last week was sloppy, sloppy for the BYU offense, but today was a different story.
kedon slovis put the rest of the big 12 on notice. the defense is elite early. the offense clicked. don't count the cougs out.
to beloved UCF fans: a lot of today is centered around… you.
if this is gus malzahn’s recruiting trajectory, this team will dominate the new big 12.
give it a listen. share it to a fellow knight. i’m intrigued to see how rabid UCF fans are.⚔️
📺:
how tough is it to transition from group of five to power five? yikes.
save for BYU's 4-1, the new guys are having a hard adjustment in year one. no expansion team has beaten an original big 12 team to this point.
feels like BYU is really carrying baylor’s torch in the trash talk department.
utah took more flak from BYU fans than baylor fans this week… and utah plays baylor.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS SO BACK!🪖
not everyone can be first. someone has to be last. and this is exactly — without error — how the 2023 season will play out.
after predicting every game in the league, here's how the big 12 standings will look on december 1st. happy football.
big 12 losers:
- west virginia on fourth down
- baylor
- texas tech
- alan bowman, not related to texas tech
- baylor, again for good measure
- BYU
- briles family
- oklahoma state
big 12 winners:
- west virginia not on fourth down
- houston
- cincy
- houston again
- iowa st.
wow.
@immaculateview
brings the house down.
🏈 either wazzu, oregon state come to the big 12... or ESPN loses $320 million.
🏈 the ACC is crumbling during current CFP meetings.
🏈 12 teams. and it's staying that way.
📺:
🔊:
iowa state coaches punching out the glass at baylor’s mclane stadium? that’ll be a sweet check from the university.
what an embarrassment for a team that actually dominated the game.
to my brother’s and sisters of both BYU & TCU, i am so, so sorry.
i did everything i could to be on hand for this weekend’s spectacle. i am simultaneously crying, screaming & violently throwing up.
TCU is 4-6. baylor is even worse. and this is the crowd at amon g. carter.
of the six-or-so TCU games i’ve been to, this crowd is the most impressive. frogs showed up to support. that’s awesome.
this. this is our king.
kansas state repeats as big 12 champions behind all-conference quarterback will howard.
knocking off texas tech in arlington, the wildcats are college football playoff bound.
you all win. you may love me. you may hate me. but you cannot argue with the public.
the ultimate big 12 brand challenge ends here. oklahoma is the comeback king. BYU has dominated everyone. and the best is yet to come.
vote for your champion below.🪖
who are the best UCF accounts to follow? cincinnati? arizona? kansas? iowa state? BYU? this account isn't following enough. let's strengthen the big 12 connection.
dear god. they’ve broken the bracket. and the oregon state, washington state championship may break twitter. only one can get in.
YOU get to play commissioner in the great expansion simulator. who would you add to the big 12 in round four?
choose our future below wisely.🪖
WEEK FIVE POWER RANKINGS!🪖
texas leads. BYU rises. kansas falls. WVU jolts. texas tech holds. baylor leaves the doghouse.
this feels objective. you can’t really argue with it.
#docegrande
no question, big 12 fans are rooting for washington tonight.
the huskies were 4-8 two years ago. suffered 15 years of mediocrity starting in 2000. and they aren’t a top-15 national brand.
it’s proof colorado, kansas state, texas tech & any big 12 team can win at the top level.
NEWS: Kanon Catchings, a projected first-round pick in 2025, has committed to BYU, he told ESPN.
Catchings is the second projected one-and-done first-rounder new head coach Kevin Young has reeled in since leaving the Phoenix Suns for BYU.
STORY:
you all win. you may love me. you may hate me. but you cannot argue with the public.
it's round three of the ultimate big 12 brand challenge. does you team have the biggest brand in this conference?
final four voting starts today.🪖
big 12 referees missed not one but TWO fouls on TCU to ultimately cost baylor a shot at the game.
this league, once again, is unwatchable. there is a serious issue. when will there be a fix.
the whole team sprinting around the court & flaunting? completely out of character for this texas team.
could never have expected this kind of unsportsmanlike action from an upstanding program that doesn’t stoop so low.
john rhys plumlee may be my favorite quarterback in college football.
if he can recover by the oklahoma game & UCF is sitting at at least 5-1, the knights are legitimate contenders in the big 12.
it's timmy time. the rest of the team has to prove its worth now.
MONEY!
ESPN doesn’t make any money from gonzaga playing portland state. ESPN does make money from gonzaga playing kansas.
there’s your driving factor. if you like the big 12 making more money, get on board with gonzaga.
BRING GONZAGA TO THE BIG 12! GONZAGA TO THE BIG 12! GONZAGA TO THE BIG 12! GONZAGA TO THE BIG 12! GONZAGA TO THE BIG 12! GONZAGA TO THE BIG 12! GONZAGA TO THE BIG 12! GONZAGA TO THE BIG 12! GONZAGA TO THE BIG 12! GONZAGA TO THE BIG 12! GONZAGA TO THE BIG 12!
brett yormark has one mission: expand the big 12 before the college football playoff's look-in.
now YOU get to play commissioner in the great expansion simulator. who would you add to the big 12?
final: oregon state v. washington state
thanks to clemson’s win over kentucky:
big 12 in bowl games: 7-1
SEC in bowl games: 0-3
big 12 against SEC in bowl games: 3-0
SEC against big 12 in bowl games: 0-3
i do not make the rules. these are just the facts i’m required to make up.
