The current commissioner deliberately put his foot in his mouth at the start of the season because he was having a lil' snit about Texas and Oklahoma leaving the Big 12 for the SEC. I understand why he is pissed, but the Big 12 sat there for years with its thumb up its ass passively watching Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, Texas A&M, and now Texas & Oklahoma walk away from the conference. So, the Big 12 needs to take a good, long look in the mirror when they are assigning blame. Anyway, Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark really, REALLY deserved this ... Texas taunts Big 12 commissioner after blowout win to clinch spot in conference title game
By Callie Lawson-Freeman
The Texas Longhorns handed Texas Tech a blowout loss Friday and taunted Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark while they were at it. By clinching a Big 12 conference title game berth in the 57-7 win, Texas secured another opportunity to make a point ahead of their departure for the SEC next year. Back in August, Yormark spoke at a Red Raider Club luncheon and made some controversial comments as he rooted for the Red Raiders to beat Texas in their regular-season finale. He bolstered his address with a reference to Texas Tech's 37-34 overtime win against Texas last season. "Coach, I’m not going to put any pressure on you, but I’m going to be in Austin for Thanksgiving, OK? And you better take care of business like you did right here in Lubbock last year,” Yormark said, addressing Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire.
Obviously, Friday night's outcome wasn't what the conference commissioner was hoping to see. Even worse, the Longhorns kept receipts and put them on the big screen.
Eric Henry (@EricCHenry_) ~ A special message for Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark as Texas punches their ticket to Arlington. Initially, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said he wasn't taking Yormark's comments too seriously. "We know who’s behind us, and that’s OK. Now let’s go play," Sarkisian said, via the Austin American-Statesman. But even then, he made sure to question the commissioner's intentions. "I got a letter from the commissioner about sportsmanship the day before that speech,” Sarkisian added. “So I'm trying to figure out what are we promoting to our student-athletes and then to go say those types of things? So I'm not guessing he's gonna have his Thanksgiving dinner with us the night before that game." Although it's a little petty, Texas' taunting on Friday night seems to align with Sarkisian's comments. The team improved its record to 11-1, and the Longhorns could make a College Football Playoff appearance before leaving the Big 12.
Ah, Brett ... you're a big boy ... if you're going to open you big fat yap and say stupid things ... and then show up for the game rooting for Tech to beat the snot out of Texas on its way out of the conference ... well ... you richly deserve having your ass handed to you on a silver platter, you dumbass.
