0:00.0	Well, how do you like that? A 5-0 record for the Big 12 in bowl games. I'm Pete Mundo.
0:07.4	Heartland College Sports Weekly is the show. Heartlandcollegesports.com is the site. Of course,
0:13.5	we cover the Big 12 like nobody else does, better than anybody else does. And what a time to be a big 12 football fan. It doesn't matter if
0:24.5	your team didn't play in a bowl game. All right, this is a prideful moment for this conference
0:29.7	that everybody, everybody should be crawling about. Even if you're a Kansas State fan and you're
0:36.5	bothered with how the season ended, you're a Texas tech fan and you're bothered with how the season ended,
0:38.0	you're a Texas tech fan, you're wondering what's next for your school, for your program.

1:36.1	tier Power 5 conference at best. And they were proven wrong. The Big 12, how about this stat? The Big 12 win 5 and 0 in the bowl season, the first
1:46.8	conference to go undefeated with at least three bowl games since the Pact 10 back in 2008, 2009.
1:56.8	It's the Big 12's first ever bowl challenge cups since 0506 and their first ever outright win.
2:03.7	This is a great, great week for the Big 12 conference, and everybody should be proud of what this conference has done, what it has accomplished, and it was capped off yesterday with the Iowa State win in that Fiesta Bowl.
