Tim Brando Interview: Big 12 Set to Own Friday Nights and the ACC's Future

In Texas, it’s Friday NIght Lights. High school football is king!
I am sure the Big XII’s televised games are going to be popular with Texas high school football coaches! 🤬
Y’all night want to address this issue?

Imo Brando is 'KeithJackson' of current play-by-play announcers. TB knows more history & details going further back than anyone else (a total and sincere compliment).

I hate Friday games

30 minute show, zero mentions of wvu or byu

It’s going to be special
Season. We will see how good Utah really is. Same with AZ. Colorado seems most unpredictable. ASU were bottom feeder last year however I wouldn’t discount them. I wouldn’t be surprised if all 4 end up having great seasons. Out of the expansion 2021 teams. I think UCF is clearly ahead of the pack. As a byu fan, I’m not expecting much maybe 4-5 wins. I just hope they’re competitive. Out of the old guard, KSU OSU KU and ISU could have undefeated seasons and I wouldn’t be surprised. Texas Tech has an easier schedule I could throw them
In the mix. And damn I can’t forget WVU either. 8-9 wins for them
If they are worse I’ll be surprised. The teams w/no hope at all in my view are Baylor Cincy and Houston has a first year coach. Where does that leave TCU? I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a special season too. This year will be ultra competitive. 👍🏻

I like Brando. He’s always been fair to my Badgers.

Let me get this straight, the NCAA is a disaster and Brando says politicians can save the ACC. Yeah, if we go from one clown show to an even bigger clown show….🤔

Tim Brando really knows how to work an interview, doesn’t he? Made his host squirm a little bit and gave the audience a ton of obfuscated code, telling the future of college football. He’s a real pro.

Best scenario for Big XII is for 12-0 Utah to meet 12-0 KSU in the championship game... Likely puts 2 teams in the playoff.

Tim Brando is the best!

Nice interview!!! The main disagreement is his idea on us, the ACC, and other conferences "bonding together" to oppose the CFP settlement. How can he not see that the Big Ten and SEC have leverage and will bully us, potentially breaking away from the NCAA?!?!?? I'll also be curious on his thoughts on Friday games; we only got THREE of the 9 played, while the Big Ten got the rest! But the assessment of the Big 12 was spot on. Like the balance, depth of the conference and how it could backfire come CFP selection, how many great coaches we have that make something out of 'nothing', and the crap the ACC is facing, making the Big 12 the better conference of the 2 to be in!!

Luv me some Brando!

There 3 things that NEVER SHOULD MIX EVER! RELIGION, SPORTS, AND POLITICS! NEVER MIX.. Because we all have our own religion beliefs and no ones religion is better then the other, Sports cause we all have similar beliefs. Politics are always a negative subjects due to opinions, ugly corruption, money is always dirty, and POWER GREED AND ABUSE.

I love football but not over American values and facts

You forgot UCF and coach Gus? They’re one of the biggest school, they’ll be top tier and kick some! I love those Friday night games by the way.

In Texas, High School football rules Friday Nights.

If Fox wants Friday night games they need to pay the Big12 more

Tim Brando is the voice of 🎉

Kansas is a contender until Their QB goes down... again !! Dudes prone to injuries!! Not haten, just facts !

"History" would say... The 15th team in all time wins....... WVU will win the B12 in 2024 !! WVU beats PSU by 14+ !! Write it down !!

Awesome guest Pete. We love Tim. One of the best minds and voices in college football broadcast history.

I’m kind of don’t like the idea or want the idea of the Big12 as the best conference in football or proclaiming that mess, even though my Alma Mater in Houston is in the Big12. I have always been one to say earn it and stabling it before hearing it and saying it. The Big12 may be the most balanced but not the deepest and definitely not the best or strongest. Those descriptions belong to the SEC, the SBC, and 10 of the 18 teams in the BiG10. The Sun Belt not only jumped in front of the Mountain Worst Conference but regular season have gone ahead of the AAC as the best Non-Autonomous Conference total. Postseason is where the AAC is still the best out of the Non-A4 colleges and conferences. The Big12 has to be in the 10-11 teams bowl bound with the 16 schools they have. This also applies for the AAC of the Non-A4 conferences and show last season was a hiccup. I doubt the Big12 would get a second team in the playoffs this upcoming season. They could; but I don’t think so. They do need to win their bye into the quarterfinals game heading into the semifinals and try to not get boat raced out of the building.

Pete I love your shows, but You need to be more engaged with your guest. It's clear you're looking at something else while they're talking and don't really continue the conversation. Then you just ask another question when they're done with their thought.

Keep hating us...Please keep talking up KU, the Mullets, and Purple Kitty Cats. Get your popcorn ready.

When does OUUT get off the wall?

I checked Utah’s record. The last 2 years they beat USC 3 times. Other than that, 1-7 vs the top 25, and the win was against UCLA who finished with a losing record in the conference. 3 years ago they beat Oregon 2 times, but also lost to BYU and SDst. Their last bowl win was in 2017 against WVU, but Will Grier was out hurt.

The reason i have advocated for years of merging the PAC and the ACC is because then our top teams have to be pitted against the top teams of the SEC and tge Big Ten. Otherwise we play each other. This is how you demonstrate you belong.

Great show🎉 Great guest!

Tim is an ADVOCATE for the Big 12, which was clear in this interview!
