Well, the Big 12 football season finally gets started this weekend.

And who better to welcome on than ESPN's Matt Schick,

joining us here on Heartland College Sports Weekly, part of Heartland College Sports.com. I'm Pete Mundo, of course, Matt, also involved with ESPN Radio

and Sirius XM. And before we get it rolling with Matt Schick, please take a second out,

guys, leave us a rating, reviews, subscribe to the podcast as we get the season underway.

It helps us tremendously, and we are sending out free Heartland College

Sports Cousies in return to keep your beer cold during game day this fall. So just send me a

screenshot of your rating and review to Pete Mundo. That's Pete M-U-N-D-O at heartlandcogalesports.com.

And we'll get you that coozy in the mail.

Appreciate it, guys.

And Matt, it's great to have you here on the show.

Now, also this week, you're heavily involved with the Big 12 Media Days, two teams per day

all week on ESPN Plus Big 12 now.

What has this process been like for you here?

It's been interesting, Pete.

Thanks for having me on.

Yeah, and I get people saying, well, it's not really media day when you don't have the media able to ask questions. And I get that. I think we're all adapting here at this point. You know,

you sell something as media days and, you know, you certainly want to follow through on that.

But at the same time, we hope we're asking the questions that people want answered.

And the coaches were kind enough to give us their time.

And Dusty Vorky did a bunch of interviews for us.

And so, you know, you do a 20, 25 minute interview, but you can't throw that whole thing up
