BYU
Respectfully, from a Utah fan, please do something this week 🙏
Arizona disrespect.
What does Arizona need to do to get ranked? 1 loss to #8 BYU and the voters really think SMU or Boise State are better?
Teams ranked by best win % since 2024. What stands out to you?
How should we handle Trolls?
Hey Yall,
Recently, there has been an uptick in troll posts and comments. The Mod team removes the blatantly inappropriate ones, but leaves those that are not explicitly breaking any rules. With this increase, we wanted to let the sub vote on what to do with those accounts. Should we outright ban troll accounts that are purely trying to provoke, or should we keep them up and have the people downvote and respond to them?
I'm going to make this poll last a few days so that everyone gets a chance to vote. Please comment any other ideas you have.
Thanks!

Best QB In Texas
The best QB currently starting at a Texas college is Connor Weigman at Houston. I bet A&M would love to have him back.
BYU is a 12.5 home dog vs ND next week.
I hate to say it but a top 10 team should not be more than a 10 point dog to any team. Either Vegas is way off (Vegas is not wrong too often) or BYU is not considered a top 10 caliber team by the odds makers.
2026 Big 12 Week 7 Scenarios
We're deep enough into the season where I can start tracking the race for the 2 participants in the Big 12 title game as well as bowl game berths, Week 6 started off with a 24-10 win by BYU over Iowa State at home on Friday, then the Saturday games consisted of Oklahoma State pulling ahead in the second half to beat UCF by 14, Kansas State getting walloped by Houston at home, Arizona putting a 50-burger in Morgantown, Kansas gave Utah a scare for a bit before the Utes ran away with it in the 4th quarter to win by 17, and Arizona State got a comfortable 30-16 win over Hawaii at home.
Heading into Week 7, we already have a handful of teams that could clinch bowl eligibity
Texas Tech clinches a bowl game berth with a
- win
BYU clinches a bowl game berth with a
- win
Houston clinches a bowl game berth with a
- win
Utah clinches a bowl game berth with a
- win
Kansas Unis and Utah Helmets
These two football teams look damn good. Those Kansas uniforms are absolutely nasty.
I actually like the Utah helmet. Both teams are great.
Good luck Kansas!
why is houston's stadium empty? they are a top 20 team

What breweries from Big 12 cities should I look out for?
I like having an "away" beer, but struggled to find any from Kansas last week or any from Arizona this week.
To be fair to Arizona, I did not check the Kentucky store but was surprised there weren't any at Jungle Jim's.
What breweries should I keep an eye out for? Specifically anyone know of any that distribute to Ohio or Kentucky?
Baylor/ASU Cincy/Arizona
Last 2 games of the day, who y'all got?
Tech
Why can't tech ever play like this in the first half?
Fun fact: The WB frog was based on a hornfrog named "Ol Rip" (who survived 31 years of hibernation in a box)
SEC Circle Jerk
Oh look! The one SEC team that blew out the higher ranked SEC team last week is getting blown out by the lower ranked SEC team this week. Let’s drop them a few spots in the ranking and rocket the lower ranked team up. Clearly they’re all top quality and are no way benefitting by inflated preseason rankings. I hate it here sometimes…
Coal Miner - ISU vs West Virginia
I’m making a cocktail for each Iowa State game. Today's game is against the West Virignia Mountaineers. The state of West Virginia is closely associated with the business of coal mining. They even did a “coal rush” theme when my wife and I went to Morgantown as visitors (28-16, Iowa State). So when I came across this recipe I knew I had to make it for this game.
This is not an original. I’ve found it in a few places online, but none of them say who the original creator is. If you happen to know, please credit them in a comment for me.
Coal Miner
- 1½ oz Laphroaig 10 (Islay Scotch)
- ¾ oz Campari
- ½ oz Amaro Averna
- ¼ oz Honey Syrup (3:1 honey to water)
- 2 dash Peychaud’s Bitters
Shake it all up and strain over fresh ice.
But wait there’s more. I knew a drink with scotch and Campari would not go over well at a tailgate, but the name was too perfect so I had to make one for myself. For everyone else, I made this:
Pumpkin Spice Margarita
- 1 oz Tapatio Añejo (Añejo Tequila)
- 1 oz Tres Agaves Reposado (Reposado Tequila)
- ½ oz Callieres (Triple Sec)
- ½ oz Licor 43 (Vanilla Liqueur)
- ¾ oz Lime Juice
- ½ oz Pie Spice Syrup (2:1 demerara syrup with pie spice)
- 1 dash The Empress Bitters (from Wynnwood Farms)
- ¾ oz Pumpkin Puree
Shake it all up and fine strain over fresh ice.
