2024 Big 12 Championship Game – Iowa State vs Arizona State

No. Path of Exile 2 is out and it is glorious.

I can’t believe I’m cheering for Sparky. Of all the PAC 12 teams, I’ve hated then the most in the past. I think a lot of that went to the coaches. But I kind like Dillingham and am pulling for them.

I’m not as down on the Big XII as others here. Partly because beggars can’t be choosers and I remember the desperation I felt when we might not get a real conference. I understand the arguments but I’m trying to invest in the new conference.

Go forks!

Casual watching interest for BSU, ASU, UO, SMU and Texas. BSU is a crazy story in the new B12 format. The Boise HC Daniels was hired mid-December last year after Andy Avalos was fired mid-season 2023 with a 17-5 conference record, 22-14 overall. Daniels has arguably the top Heisman candidate in Jeanty and a bye going into the CFP play-off something KW and Gundy after head coaching 20+ years likely never achieve. Crazy Daniels has been a HC less than one year. The college football gods work in mysterious ways. OSU is publicly proposing restructuring Gundy’s buyout and overall contract. I know this won’t be popular, would love to see Utah propose the same at some point going into next season to pressure KW perform or retire. IMO, there is no internal pressure for KW to improve letting him call all the shots while the football program continues to decline. I appreciate what he’s done for the program, but we’re going on year three of a coach with the a recent two year record of 13-12 overall and 7-11 (13th place) conference justifying it all with the same bag of excuses and unfixed problems that seem to be getting worse. To be clear, I want whats best for the team performing to their potential, never been a fan of individual coaches or players. Go Utes!

With ASU and Scattebo going against a bad run defense (I think ISU is 14th in conference against the run) this game is going about how I would expect it.

In retrospect, our defense was pretty dang good this season. Probably not as good as last season, but still up to par to the defenses. Offense was just terrible.

Leavitt has completed a few really tough throws. Amazing what happens when a QB isn’t taught to hold on to the ball until he sees separation but instead gives his receiver a chance to make a play. And the receiver actually wants to make a play. Hope Landon King is watching

ASU is clearly the best team in the conference. Amazing when you think about it. Picked #16 in preseason polls. Scatteboo is a work horse.

I dont like Dillingham because he is an immature cry baby, but give him credit. Dammit, why couldn’t you guys hold on to defeat ISU a couple of weeks ago so my Zoobs had another crack at ASU.

I think we’d have lost again though. ASU is playing their best ball of the season, beating 3 contenders in last 4 weeks (ksu, byu, isu).

Retzlaff cost us the Kansas game with that terrible int to end the first half when we had 2 minutes and first and goal from the 5.
