Well, as many of us sit here, thousands of us, hell, millions of us sit here in the Midwest, freezing our butts off.

I know some of you have lost power and are waiting to get that power back, especially in Texas.

There is some good news. The Big 12 football schedule is out. I'm Pete Mundo. We're Heartland

College Sports Weekly, part of Heartland College Sports.com. You're independent, Big 12 digital media outlet.

It's great to be here with you each and every week.

And as we do each and every week, take a second out, leave a rating and a review on the podcast

because it helps grow the show every week because of you, because of you.

And that's why I've got a Heartland College Sports Cousy on the way when you leave me a rating and review

and send me a screenshot of that rating and review to Pete

Mundo M-U-N-D-O at Heartland College Sports.com. Thanks so much, guys. I'm in Kansas City. I know,

obviously, much of our audience is across Big 12 country, especially in the state of Texas.

And just know we're thinking about you. We're praying for you this week.

If you're without power and you're dealing with the disaster that is going on down there,

I hope that we can give you a little bit of a respite from all of that here this week because

it is ugly. It is ugly. The good news is the Big 12 football schedule is out. At least you can pretend like the fall is close.

At least we can pretend and have fun with the idea that football is right around the corner.

It's like 198 days away.

But who's counting?

Not me.

Definitely not me.

No, no, no, no, no.

You are.
