As part of welcoming and onboarding process, this might be a good time for those of us who would like to see this site become the go to place for Big 12 stuff, to learn more about the campuses and culture of our newest members.
I think it would be cool if we could see clips of your campuses, along with an introduction to things that make your schools and game day traditions what the are.

Hope you agree.

This was announced today:

Today, the Big 12 Conference announced the launch of Big 12 Homecoming, a Conference-wide celebration of the Big 12 brand that will bring three days of entertainment and community engagement to the campuses of Big 12 members.

Big 12 Homecoming will visit four campuses per fall, each during a home football game weekend. To celebrate their arrival to the Big 12, the first campuses visited by Big 12 Homecoming will be the four incoming members, Houston, Cincinnati, UCF and BYU. The remaining eight Conference members will see Big 12 Homecoming visit their campuses in future years.

“We are thrilled to launch Big 12 Homecoming and debut this celebration of our Conference on the campuses of our four newest members,” said Big 12 Chief Marketing Officer Tyrel Kirkham. “Each of these four programs have waited years for this moment, and as a Conference, we want to ensure their arrival is memorialized and celebrated. These events will bring a new level of entertainment and excitement to Big 12 campuses.”

Big 12 Homecoming will see activations take place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of home football game weekends. Thursday will feature a women’s empowerment event including panels and discussions alongside female student-athletes and female leaders impacting change across campus. On Friday, Big 12 student-athletes and coaches will visit one elementary school to unveil a $50K makeover for a new library / media center as a part of the College Football Playoff Foundation’s signature program, Extra Yard Makeover Project. Saturday of Big 12 Homecoming will see the Big 12 enhance each school’s pre-game tailgating experience with live DJ performances, limited edition merchandise giveaways, an armed forces pre-game flyover and more.

The inaugural Big 12 Homecoming weekend will take place in Houston on Thursday, September 14th through Saturday, September 16th as the Cougars host TCU. Big 12 Homecoming will visit Cincinnati from September 21st through the 23rd as the Bearcats play Oklahoma and will travel to Orlando on September 28th through the 30th as UCF hosts Baylor. 2023’s Big 12 Homecoming tour will conclude with a trip to Provo on October 19th through the 21st as BYU takes on Texas Tech

Things of note:
-The main Campus, adjacent to the Corryville and Clifton Heights neighborhoods has seen a remarkable transformation over the past 30 years. The campus, once festooned with parking lots, has become known for it's greenspaces and diverse architecture. It is a wonderful area to walk.

-Nippert Stadium is located in the heart of the campus and is open to students throughout the week. First opened in 1910, Nippert (formerly Carson Field) was renamed in honor of Bearcat player Jimmy Nippert, who died from an infection that resulted from a spike wound sustained during a game in 1923, is lovingly known as "The Wrigley Field" of College Football. Nippert is the 8th Oldest functioning College Football Stadium in Division 1.

If you want to piss Bearcat fans off, talk smack about our football stadium.

-Our oldest, functioning rival is Miami of Ohio University (MAC). We play every year for The Victory Bell. Other, historic rivals have included The University of Louisville (ACC) The "Keg O' Nails", Ohio University, and the University of Pittsburgh.

Very impressive. Lots of awe inspiring architecture. Certainly a value added to the Big 12.

A few years ago Forbes Magazine named the UC campus as one of the ten most beautiful in the world. Also I was sitting in Joe Robbie Stadium watching a Miami Hurricanes football game when a guy sitting next to me said he was a graduate of UM in architecture. I said that maybe he had heard of my alma mater - UC. He replied that everyone in the field of architecture knew about UC.

Played hoops for UC 1978-82. The campus today is not recognizable since then. Really a spectacular urban-lite campus with top flight DAA, med and law schools to note just a few.
Legacy 8 teams' fans should hope to get a Nip a night FB game. It's a great atmosphere!

I graduated UC in 66 and it was a blacktop parking lot campus. But the education allowed me to leave poverty behind and become a multimillionaire times over.

So that is why I love UC.

We're the bestest school there ever was.

It is part of their internship program.

the best building imo on uc's campus they wanna tear down. a single concrete pour brutalist structure which housed parts of my formative years. it's allure, prestige only awakened once it's utilitarianality gave way to the aesthetically pleasing. how can you deny the pronounced dichotomy? this building pushed the boundaries and to surround it with the beautiful only makes sense. you know why? you wanna know why? because f*ck the people who only want the beautiful. and i like architecture. brutalism is definitive, yet contemplative architecture. i am impressed with campus but there's no reason for the building to go. it's a practical building- world famous- no wasted space or faults other than being an eye sore to many. you can see her from miles away and it's presence is akin to an unwanted tree amidst all these wonderful flowers. they'll bring in some atlanta firm to the construction of some euro jack's en vogue projections culminating in rave reviews and everyone forgets about crosley tower and suddenly find their campus no longer unique come they to learn they've been one upped again by big state and some johnny come lately. it was no longer interesting it was boring in fact; all that splendor and nothing iconic

My granddaughter came in from AZ to tour UC to perhaps attend DAA. On the tour they said the Crosley is slated to be torn down but because of the concrete single pour construction no one is sure how to tear it down.

That's probably because its USF that has the Publix on Campus.

UCF has a Football Stadium lined up Kennedy Space Center Launch Pad.

UCF Gameday Traditions
Most Gamedays follow a similar timeline
- Tailgate: Located in Memory Mall
- Knight Walk: Cheer on the players from the Bus to the Stadium
- March to Victory: Band, Cheerleaders, and Mascots have a mini parade as they walk up to the Stadium
- First Bounce Pre Game Show: You can see the Knight and Pegasus charge onto the field, band plays a few songs, get the first bounce in with Zombie Nation.


(Social Media team will drop this timeline before every game)

It's not uncommon for the Students to arrive late, stadium won't be full till about midway through the 1st Qtr.

Mascots
We have 2 Primary Mascots: Knightro and The Citronaut

Knightro:


Citronaut:

Why UC is The Bearcats:
The school’s athletic department says that in 1914, Cincinnati football was playing the Kentucky Wildcats. A cheerleader then made up a chant about the team’s star fullback, Leonard “Teddy” Baehr. It said, “They may be Wildcats, but we have a Baehr-cat on our side.”

UC then won 14-7, and the student newspaper placed a cartoon of the “Cincinnati Bear Cats” on its front page a few days later.

The school didn’t adopt the name immediately, but while reporting on a game against Tennessee in 1919, a writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer called the team the Bearcats, and the moniker has stuck ever since. The program’s mascot is even a depiction of the animal, and a live bearcat that lives at the local zoo has attended athletic events throughout the past decade-plus.

So, whenever you watch the Cincinnati football from now on, you can thank a cheerleader and Teddy Baehr for them being called the Bearcats.

I think it would be cool if we could see clips of your campuses, along with an introduction to things that make your schools and game day traditions what the are.

Hope you agree.

I will take a stab at UH culture. We have tremendous delusions of grandeur mixed with tremendous insecurity (no idea who to attribute this to but it’s not mine). We have significant available resources in Houston that we are often incapable of properly utilizing. We play our best ball when we feel slighted and usually fail to live up to expectations when attention is shown.

Like all Houston teams, when the stars align, we will win big and have six million die hard fans. When we don’t, we will have ten thousand miserable sons of ******* blaming Anne Richards for why we suck and rationalizing how we could hire Nick Saban if only uncle Tillman would get a little more invested.

Thanks for throwing us a lifeline. #no-take-backs
