Again, we interrupt our regularly scheduled Friday Roundup to bring you a bit of news from Big 12 way in order to catch you, the college football fan, up on the Big 12 happenings before the season begins. If you missed it, check out our ACC Primer Roundup here.
The Roundup:
- Kansas: You meant to tell me the internet didn't succumb to an avalanche of fine-dining-fat-jokes after Mangino got a raise?
- Kansas State: Hasn't K-State always had a rich tradition of JUCOs?
- Missouri: It's all about the Chase.
- Nebraska: Clearly Pelini never took Bob Davie's 3-day course on expectation leveling.
- Baylor: They call it "the start of the Art Briles era." We call it the beginning of the end.
- Oklahoma: So, about that whole, "will not be tolerated thing," coach.
- Oklahoma State: He's past it? Good for him. Does he think that means everyone else is past it?
- Texas: Mack Brown ticks off 330 people every year.
- Texas A&M: Isn't it weird how both passion and a cold shower can be described as "invigorating?"
- Texas Tech: Can they pay the Pirate's booty?
- Iowa State: Little is written about the Cyclones. This is the best I could do.
- Colorado: Kevin White apparently didn't help create Colorado's schedule.
And the beer of the week is not a beer at all. I linked this in the shoutbox, but given that Texas, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M all play in the Big 12, here's a cool site for Texas Beer drinkers: Texas Beer Map. Hopefully they'll soon enact manifest destiny and expand into "America Beer Map."

So Stoops has “personal knowledge of Josh” through “individuals of authority in his life,” meaning Stoops or his staff have in fact talked to the dude’s juvenile probation officers. Is there an over/under on how many Big 12 football players will be suspended by their programs this fall?
After the whole Vince Young-is-the-greatest-college-player-ever-attitude of Longhorn fans, I’m feeling good about Mack Brown’s issues. If Colt McCoy has a disappointing year, he’s going to be a headcase. Meanwhile, Chase Daniel is going to win the Heisman, and Ryan Perriloux will resurface as a 26-year-old junior at Oklahoma in a few years.
