[QUOTE="InterestedObserver, post: 1081096, member: 352"] From the standpoint of "getting up" for games, I think you're 100% correct. I can't imagine these kids not getting excited for each game. There will be a familiarity among almost every team that these kids have rarely gotten to experience (really only games against SMU and Baylor). In the Big 12, they'll know players on just about every other team. I'm most interested in the week-to-week physical side as there is a definite step-up in physical talent among the opponents. 2012 is somewhat of a strange year as you'll likely hear lots of talk about how "down" the conference might be, but while that may be true at the top of the conference, there's probably more parity than there has been in quite some time. Kansas is really the only truly weak team, but with a new coaching staff they have tons of unknowns. The next two "weakest" teams, Tech and ISU, had some big wins last year and suffered from injuries down the stretch (Tech only had 52 players left by the end of the season). The rest of the conference should be pretty strong with no real obvious top team, though the media will give that designation to OU. Next fall is going to be alot of fun. I'm really excited about the games coming to ACS. Other than Grambling, every single one should be a good game. [/QUOTE]
