Well, what a week for the Big 12.

I'm Pete Mundo.

We're Heartland College Sports Weekly, part of Heartland College Sports.com.

You're independent Big 12 digital media outlet.

And it's great to be here with you after another wild week of Big 12 football, huh?

And as we get it going, leave that rating and review on the podcast, because guess what you

get from us in return?

For me, personally, I put in the mail a Heartland College Sports Coozy.

Yes, I put it in the mail for you, a Heartland College Sports Cousy. Yes, I put it in the mail for you, a Heartland College

Sports Cousy just for you guys. So send me a screenshot of your rating and review to Pete

Mundo M-U-N-D-O at Heartland Collegesports.com. And we send you that coozy in the mail and you get to

keep the beer cold and we continue to build this show because of

you. So thank you for that guys. I really appreciate it. And let's just cut right to the chase.

I guess it's 99%, which is just crazy. But you've essentially punched your ticket. So pinch yourself Iowa State fans.

Congratulations.

You're going to have a shot at a conference title for the first time in 108 years.

It's just absolutely unbelievable what's happened there.

So let's first off congratulate Iowa State fans and then dive into what is going to happen at Texas and what should happen at Texas.

So here's my read on the Texas Longhorns right now and what should happen there.

First off, I don't think you should fire Tom Herman unless you know that you've got Urban Meyer in the bag.

If you are going to fire Tom Herman, who, you know, is he the most likable guy?
