About this episode

The episode discusses the current state of Big 12 quarterbacks and features a debate on the potential of the current roster compared to legendary players.

Big 12 football faces a quarterback crossroads—can the conference reclaim its reputation as a QB powerhouse? Mike Gittens and Christian Rauh spotlight stars like Bear Bachmeier, Noah Fifita, and Alonza Barnett III, debating whether the current roster can match legendary Big 12 signal-callers like Baker Mayfield, Vince Young, and RG3. The duo examines recent struggles, breakout candidates, and why this year’s lineup could be the most stacked post-Texas and Oklahoma realignment. Fans of Kansas State, UCF, and the broader Big 12 won’t want to miss the spirited “Would You Rather?” segment: is one national title worth a decade of mediocrity? Plus, Mike Gittens and Christian Rauh swap stories on heartbreak, college football glory, and which program could produce the next superstar QB. Does the path to Big 12 dominance still run through elite quarterback play? Tune in for bold predictions and passionate debate.
