| 0:00.0 | Winners and losers in the Big 12 this week. Let's do it. I'm Pete Mundo. Heartland College |
| 0:05.5 | Sports is where you find us covering the Big 12. I will give you three winners and three losers from the week. |
| 0:13.2 | The first thing I ask you to do is subscribe if you don't do that. You are going to be a loser by next week when the college football season starts. So get |
| 0:23.3 | on board. Let's get rolling. College football is right around the corner. Same thing on the podcast, |
| 0:29.1 | five-star rating and review. My first winner of the week, UCF fans. Good on you, UCF fans. |
| 0:39.9 | Haven't talked a lot about this program this offseason. |
| 0:44.3 | Frankly, I don't think there's going to be a lot to talk about. |
| 0:47.2 | But UCF fans sold out their season ticket allotment, that's more than 27,000 for the fifth consecutive season |
| 0:57.7 | and the sixth time since 2019. That's damn impressive for a team that's coming off, obviously, a bad |
| 1:07.8 | couple of years since joining the Big 12. Expectations are very low for Scott Frost, |
| 1:13.2 | and this fan base said, screw it. We're getting behind our guy, and we're going to support him. |
| 1:20.7 | Now, do I think the stadium's going to be full every single weekend? No, I don't. Do I think that |
| 1:26.9 | tickets on the secondary market will be fairly cheap for UCF this year? |
| 1:31.2 | Yeah, I do. But this is a sign of faith. It's a sign of support. And at a time when these universities and these programs are trying to scrape every nickel they can together. |
| 1:45.6 | This is an impressive showing from a UCF fan base that, frankly, I don't think, has a ton to be |
| 1:52.4 | excited about this year. Now, they can shock the world. It's entirely possible. But right now, |
| 1:59.1 | this is a program that is having to go through a major rebuild, |
| 2:03.3 | and you're hoping that Scott Frost can do it. But the fan base is supporting this team and this |
| 2:08.4 | program selling out the season ticket allotment for the fifth straight season. So three in a row |
| 2:16.0 | in the Big 12. By the way, make sure you're liking |
| 2:18.3 | the video right now if you're on the YouTube channel or watching on Facebook Live. My second |
| 2:23.4 | winner of the week, how do you not go here? The University of Kansas, the Jayhawks, get a $300 million gift 300 mill |
