Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark was showered in boos by Texas fans when he took the stage to present the Longhorns with their trophy and title belt following their 49–21 victory over Oklahoma State in the conference championship on Saturday. 
But booing wasn’t all Yormark, who had been outspoken in his criticism of the Longhorns for leaving the Big 12, heard from the Texas faithful. While attempting to speak into the microphone, the Big 12 commissioner was drowned out by Texas fans chanting “SEC.”

Texas did everything it could to secure a College Football Playoff berth at Saturday’s Big 12 championship game, scoring a dominant 49–21 win over Oklahoma State. The Longhorns, who entered the weekend No. 7 in the CFP rankings, improve to 12–1 on the season with a conference title belt to their credit.
Of course, Steve Sarkisian’s team does not control its own Playoff destiny. Although the 28-point victory should impress the selection committee, Texas could use some mayhem in the three remaining Power 5 conference title matchups.
No.

According to oddsmakers, the 2023 Heisman Trophy race looks like a forgone conclusion.
Following No. 3 Washington’s Pac-12 championship game win over No. 5 Oregon on Friday in Las Vegas, bettors witnessed a seismic move at top of the betting odds to win the hardware.
Prior to the Pac-12 showdown, Bo Nix was a -150 favorite. However following the Ducks’ loss, the market for Oregon’s star signal-caller is now listed at +1500.
Sitting in the top perch is LSU’s Jayden Daniels who is now listed as the prohibitive favorite to win the Heisman Trophy at odds of -1450.

Texas made pretty easy work of Oklahoma State in the Big 12 championship game Saturday, cruising to a 49–21 win at AT&T Stadium and making their best, last case to the College Football Playoff selection committee.
Coach Steve Sarkisian had the Longhorns ready to play from the jump, scoring with flair early and often, including a big man touchdown that made it immediately clear Texas would be taking no prisoners en route to the title.

Leagues and sports change over the years as playing styles and techniques evolve. It’s then up to everyone to debate whether or not that evolution is for the best. Philadelphia Flyers head coach John Tortorella recently talked about the state of hitting in the National Hockey League, lamenting the fact that players no longer know how to take a hard check.
And he makes one hell of a point.
Tortorella’s comments came on Friday after the team’s practice when he was asked about an incident that occurred in the team’s 4-3 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils on Thursday.
