Steven and Braden begin our 2025 conference previews with the Big 12. The most balanced and unpredictable league in college football will provide incredible drama as any number of teams could make it to the conference title game. TCU, Texas Tech and Baylor could be sneaky good. Utah and Kansas could bounce back. Arizona State and Iowa State could defend. And Oklahoma State will... do something.
Joey and Luke breakdown the Big 12 conference and everything you need to know. We are joined by former 2 Birds 1 Clone host Jack for the Iowa State season preview as well. We give our predictions and our best bets for the Big 12. Tune in to hear everything you need to to know heading into the 2025 Big 12 season.
We dive deep into the Big 12 with the first of our three-part conference preview and break out all 16 teams into contender tiers, discuss the biggest storylines shaping the season, and use goofy metaphors, quotes and sounds to capture the delightful uncertainty that defines the league. From Arizona State's quest to repeat as champions to the transfer portal revolution reshaping rosters across the league, we unpack what makes this conference so addictively unpredictable. In this college football podcast episode, we discuss why the Big 12 in 2025 feels like the ultimate chaos conference where almost anything is possible. We have a healthy debate over which teams belong in the top tier, with Arizona State and Kansas State leading the way, discuss the hype around Texas Tech and Baylor, and wonder if Iowa State can take the next step. Plus, we analyze the most meaningful coordinator changes at programs like Utah and Oklahoma State, examine rosters heavily influenced by the portal, and revel in the fact that nearly every team has at least at 35% change of reaching a bowl. We also explore the post-Shedeur and Travis Hunter era at Colorado, debate whether Texas Tech's investment will pay dividends, and wonder if this is finally the year Kansas State breaks through under Chris Klieman. Plus, can Baylor's explosive offense carry them despite defensive concerns? Will Utah's new-look offense complement their traditionally strong defense? Can Kansas ride good vibes to 7 or 8 wins? And why does Mike Gundy's Oklahoma State feel like it's entered desperation mode? Consider this your starter pack for navigating the beautiful chaos that is Big 12 football in 2025.

We're continuing our Recruit Reflection series with incoming North Carolina freshman Jillian Fisher. Fisher is a three-time Level 10 national qualifier from Brandy Johnson's. In her own words, she was a little “late to the party” — she didn't take her official visits until the summer before her senior year of high school. That summer, she visited Iowa State, Arizona State and NC State, ultimately committing to Arizona State.About two months later, Fisher switched her commitment to Iowa State, where she signed in November 2024. A few months ago, she was released from her national letter of intent with Iowa State and signed with North Carolina — which had actually been her top choice from the beginning.Fisher's recruiting story is unique in that she changed her mind a few times, but ultimately ended up where she felt she was meant to be. She joins us to talk about what led to her commitment switches, the process of being released from her NLI and more.Thank you to our monthly Patreon supporters: Lee B, Cookiemaster, Christa, Happy Girl, Erica S, Semflam, Amy C, Maria L, Becca S, Cathleen R, Faith, Kerry M, M, Derek H, Martin, Sharon B, Randee B, MSU, Kimberly G, Robert H, Lela M, Mara L, Jenna A, Alex M, Mama T, Kelsey, Lidia, Maria P, Alicia O, Cristina K, Bethany J, Diane J, Kentiemac, Marni S, Betny T, Emily C, Cathy D, Lisa T, Libby C, Thiago, Taryn M, Dana B, Jamie S, Chuck C, Je_GL, Kaitlin, Susan P, Katertot, Mallory D, LFC_Hokie, Ella, Debbie, Megan F, Kay, Diane J, Julie B,, Austin K, Jane, Sarah, Amy, Stephen S, Johanna T, Alison S, Kristina T, Abigail W, Becky, Ola S, Jennifer K, Kate M, Claudia, Siona, Erin L, Sarah A, Kennedy B, Thomas B, Lauren D, Kihika N, Beth C, Amy, Renee PM, Ryan V, Brandon H, Tyler, Hayley B, Ben S, Kate & Landon, Danielle, ALittleUnderRotated, Dana C, Amy C, Grace, Pat G , Lexi G, Laura N, Kathy, Katie A, Ruby B, Katie E, Róisín, Becca, Megan J, Emily D, Britton, Ry Shep, Reyna G, William A, MB, MJ L, Jackson G, Brittany A, Stella, Ulo F, Noah C, Melissa H, Alexis, William M, Trish, Susie, Leslie G, Catherine B, Karlin, Laura L, Katy S, J'nia G, Kathy M, Kathy S, Okcaro, Caroline P, JD B, Cookiecutter, Ailish D, Wil D, BC & Caroline M!

Recorded: June 26th 2025 | In this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, the guys kick things off with a classic high-energy intro before diving into a full recap of their 4th of July weekend, packed with laughs and stories. The conversation then takes a wild turn with talk about the UFC potentially heading to the White House, followed by early thoughts and hype around the newly announced EA Sports College Football 26 video game. Josh Pate makes it clear he’s fully on board the Nebraska train, while the boys dub Notre Dame “Legacy U” and stir up a spirited debate between Cam Newton and Jalen Hurts. Then, the main event begins as 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy joins the pod. He shares his journey from being recruited to Iowa State to his unforgettable NFL Draft experience. The boys officially declare October as “Brocktober” while Brock reflects on his rookie year in San Francisco, including his legendary bond with Trent Williams—who he hilariously refers to as his “binkie.” He opens up about taking over the Niners starting job from Trey Lance, undergoing Tommy John surgery, and the emotional rollercoaster of the NFC Championship game. Brock also discusses what it was like to lose Deebo Samuel mid-season, reacts to an “anonymous” quote from Taylor saying he's not the guy, and gives a behind-the-scenes look at Super Bowl week. The conversation closes with a look back at the struggles of last season and what he expects from this upcoming year with the Niners roster full of Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, and Nick Bosa under head coach Kyle Shanahan. As always, the biggest of hugs and the most tiny kisses. Enjoy!
