The big 12 is now the big 16.

Let's go.

We did it.

Cheers.

I've got to give you one big cheers.

I'm not going to tell you what this is.

Just know I've got the Heartland College Sports Cousy that I want you to get your hands on by leaving a rating and review on this show and sending me a screenshot to to Pete Mundo, M-U-N-D-O at

amazing stuff. Truly amazing. And it's one of those things that makes you sit there if you're a

big 12 fan and pinch yourself, right?
