Well, it is Big 12 Media Days Week. I'm Pete Mundo. We're Heartland College Sports Weekly, part of

Heartland College Sports.com. Your independent, Big 12 digital media outlet. And it's great to be here

with you for another week talking about everything going on around this conference. And this is

kind of the, to me, unofficial start of the Big 12 football season.

I love it. We get to talk about everything going on down in Dallas. We'll be down there this

week. Part of Big 12 Media Days myself, Derek Duke, Matthew Postins. We'll talk to Matthew

later on on the show. And we just can't wait to be diving into all of this with you

here on Heartland College Sports Weekly, part of Heartland College Sports.com.

And before we get it going, guys, please a reminder, leave us a rating, review, subscribe to this

podcast. We're getting closer to the season. We've got 371, I believe it is, ratings on the

podcast and iTunes. I want to get that number to 400.

That's why I'm sending you a free Heartland College Sports Cousy in the mail when you leave me a

rating and a review and send me a screenshot of that rating and review to Pete Mundo, M-U-N-D-O

at Heartland Collegesports.com. 372, actually, as I look it up.

So love you guys for doing that.

It'll take you 30 seconds.

It helps us tremendously beat CBS, BDSPN,

beat the Athletic in the Big 12 podcasting rankings,

and we can't thank you enough for doing it.

Thanks so much, guys.

Now, let's start with the top five storylines that I'm watching here this week

as we get the unofficial start of the season underway.
