Our baby boy has gone home to be with his Heavenly Dad. Preston Dean Straka • Born May 27th • 6.7 ounces of absolute perfection 💙 Our hearts are shattered but we trust that we serve a God who loves us more than we can fathom. And right now that’s the only hope we have to

I speak for every American outside of Kansas City in apologizing to the New England Patriots and their fans. Your dynasty really wasn’t all that insufferable compared to this.

TCU and SMU both making the College Football Playoff before Texas A&M is honestly the wildest timeline.

TCU and Clemson have identical records. TCU's strength of record (3) is above Clemson (4). TCU has more ranked wins (4) than Clemson (3). The fact Clemson is No. 4 while TCU is down at No. 7 is laughable. #CFBPlayoff

This will be an official college athletic conference in one year from now.

Sonny Dykes said he hopes TCU’s run to the CFP title game “gives hope to everybody” in terms of access: “I bet there are lots of people in places like Manhattan, Lubbock, Houston, Orlando or Stillwater who are saying ‘if they can do it, we can do it.’ And I think they’re right.”

#Alabama WR Slade Bolden was asked when the last time was that he was tested for COVID-19. "I can't tell you. We usually don't get tested unless we have symptoms." #CFBPlayoff

Would appear Texas is really trying to limit the effect of the TCU marching band this afternoon.

This segment would never see the light of day if it was Texas or Oklahoma who had the exact same resume as TCU.

With Oklahoma's win over Houston, the @Big12Conference goes a perfect 10-0 in Week 1 of the 2019 college football season.

SMU plays some 25 miles away from the CFP HQ and I’m not sure the committee has watched a minute of them all season. No. 14 as the last team undefeated in ACC play and with its lone loss coming to an undefeated top 10 opponent? Holy brand bias.

Not a hypothetical: A school that averaged 5.1 wins in league play in the Big 12 over the past decade is currently atop the standings in its SEC debut.

I hate hypotheticals, but if we swapped SMU for Texas A&M, Clemson for South Carolina, Miami for Florida and gave them the respective schedules, would SMU still be 10-1 in the SEC? Would Clemson be 9-2? Would Miami be 10-1? Heck no. Probably not. Definitely not.

Four straight NCAA Final Fours with a Big 12 team and now three straight NCAA men's basketball title games with a Big 12 representative (Texas Tech, Baylor, Kansas).
