And I never, ever want to see these bowl games go away.
I would be devastated if we didn't have a full bowl slate in the postseason.
But I understand that things are different now.
Things are changing pretty rapidly.
that was the only i think he was the only big 12 athletic director to to vote no on penalizing the tortilla tossing in the offseason which he did like as a stand like i want to protect this tradition but yeah now that the big 12 decided there's going to be 15 yard penalties if you throw stuff on the field the situation has continuously escalated since the kansas game a couple weeks ago which we talked about last week there was an alleged pocket knife being thrown which
Now, very clearly was not thrown by fans.
They believe that it was dropped by a Kansas coach on the sideline.
But still, the fines have continued to escalate.
And so now the athletic director is like, no one can do this anymore.
I imagine there will be more tortillas than ever thrown this upcoming weekend.
But I also thought it was funny because, Chris, to your point about like the seriousness of it, I read in The Athletic that they're offering to let people discard their tortillas at the game by giving them to like officials who can dispose of them.
So it's like, I guess you smuggle the tortilla in your pants.
That's what people do.
And then you get there and you have second thoughts and you're like, yeah, I shouldn't do this.
I don't want to get ejected or banned from athletic department events.
So I'm going to take the tortilla out of my pants and hand it to her.
Do an usher.
Nice and warm.
The visual of that is very absurd to me.
Is that a tortilla in your pocket, or are you not happy to see me?
