Well, there are so many great games in the Big 12 conference this week.

But to me, Bedlam takes the cake as the number one game in the Big 12.

And there's a lot of competition this week.

But when you've got this rivalry ending, let's be honest, it's not going to be played for probably a long time.

You heard Mike Gundy say probably not until a bowl game, will we see these two teams on the field again?

I thought, let's talk about it. Let's dive into it. And let's welcome on, Brian Clinton.

You know him well. If you follow Heartland College Sports, he's the managing editor of the site here.

And also on top of that, he hosts a great podcast as part of the Heartland College Sports Podcast Network

called the Portal podcast, where you're focused on a lot of what's going on in the transfer

portal, recruiting, and everything else in the world of not just the Big 12, but also college football.

Of course, I'm Pete Mundo.

Great to have you on the show as always.

And Brian, you grew up in Oklahoma.

You've covered all sides of this.

You obviously know both of these teams very well.

Before we get to the game, just take us through the mentality right now around the state

and kind of what that conversation has been like this week leading up to this game on Saturday.

Well, thanks for having me on, Pete, first of all, and second, man, it's weird. I just don't think

the weight of the situation has hit everybody yet, and quite frankly, I don't think it's going

to until Sunday morning rolls around, and people start to realize, you know, that was it.

That was the last time that the game is potentially going to be played for a long time.

And certainly the last time that we're going to see them play as Big 12 opponents, which, you know, this dates back to the Big 12 and the Big 8 before that.
