Episode Notes
Jake Brend and Derek Duke are back… it’s officially portal season chaos across the Big 12.
🏀 Iowa State Reloads (Again):
Milan Momcilovic heads toward the NBA Draft, forcing a tough roster decision—but T. J. Otzelberger responds by building one of the top transfer classes in the country. Reload, not rebuild.
🔁 Portal Reality Check:
The timeline is broken. Players, coaches, and fans are all stuck navigating a system that doesn’t fully make sense—especially for NBA hopefuls trying to keep options open.
😬 Tough Losses Around the Big 12:
• TCU loses star David Punch to Texas
• Texas Tech loses Jalen Petty to UCLA
Even the “have” programs aren’t safe anymore.
🏈 Friday Night Football Debate:
Texas Tech hosting Houston on a Friday reignites the Big 12 vs. tradition debate. Is it smart exposure—or a hit to local culture?
🎸 Offseason Fun:
Drafting dream concert lineups for Jack Trice Stadium
🎙 Other topics include:
• Why Iowa State fans shouldn’t panic
• NIL impact on roster building
• The reality of constant player movement
• Big 12 offseason power outlook
