The Liquored Up Big 12

You may have read the “Big 12 as Beer” column somewhere on the net, but Dorn is into the hard stuff. I’m going to break down the current Big 12 football programs, or the schools in general, as if they were hard liquors. Let’s get to it.





Texas Tech

Trashcan Punch



“What is that, bro? Is that Pink Panty Droppers? Hey ladies, you have got to try this stuff…” Fucking Texas Tech. First of all, you may think you know the ingredients to trashcan punch, but you can never be too sure. Some creepy guy fucking stirred it with his hairy sweat arm. So yeah, go ahead and scoop this herp-juice with your already used cup. Say “fuck it,” drink it and hope you don’t catch anything. Just like Tech, trashcan punch is dirty and a little rapey. “Wait, are there roofies in there?”  



Texas

The Macallan



Akin to the acquired taste for scotch, the University of Texas is not appreciated (or well liked) by many. They don’t care though, and Dorn respects that. They’re still distinguished, sophisticated, recognizable, and the hallmark of scotch. They also boast a rich history and are not afraid to tell you about it. Arrogant as shit, really.



Texas A&M

Jim Beam



It’s still whiskey, but it’s a little more backwoods and more prevalent in the bottom-tier of society. “Fuck you, Macallan! We taste just as good as you do!”  Shut up. No, you don’t. Be happy with what you’ve got, and stop trying to be something you’re not.

Kansas

Ciroc



Kansas just doesn’t belong. Every other Big 12 school has one thing in common: their best sport is FOOTBALL. Kansas is a basketball school, plain and simple. They can embrace that, though, because they do have an elite basketball program. The truth remains though…if you bring Ciroc to a Big 12 party, you’re getting strange looks. This isn’t a shoot for a P. Diddy music video.  



Kansas State

Jagermeister



Kansas State is Jagermeister. They’re kind of hard to figure out. You pretty much never think about them, and then one day your asshole friend shows up at the house with a bottle of this hangover inducing devil liquid that tastes like cough syrup, and he’s ready to rage. “Fucking Jager bombs, man! Take a pull you snatch!” Like K State, it’s only good in small doses about once a decade. The next morning you are quickly reminded why you hate that shit so much. See you in 2018, fucker.



Baylor

Club Soda



“Club soda and…?” No, that’s it. Just club soda. “Heeey, we’re here to party. Just gonna keep it sober.” Yeah…sober, harmless and boring. Baylor is a Baptist University that outlawed dancing until 1996. Yes, you read that correctly. Dancing was not permitted on campus until midway through the Clinton administration.  



Iowa State

Bottom Shelf Vodka



Iowa State is just happy to be at the party. No one knows who brought them or how they got there, but dammit they are in the building. They’re cheap, taste like shit, and get passed around like a $20 whore. Overall though, they’re pretty harmless.



Oklahoma

Tequila



Like tequila, Oklahoma football is a force to be reckoned with. They don’t just beat you down. They humiliate you, make you look stupid, run up the score, and you wake up feeling violated the next day. Similarly, tequila victims often wake up hungover, missing clothes and wondering what the hell just happened. Any time body shots are the preferred method of consumption, you know unflattering, ridiculous things are about to happen. Avoid if possible.

Oklahoma State

Captain Morgan



Purely from a football standpoint, Oklahoma State doesn’t have much to sell. Yeah, they’re good right now and have had some decent seasons in the recent past, but dig a little deeper into their history and it gets ugly. T. Boone Pickens literally paid for their current success.

Captain Morgan is a terrible alcohol. However, they have a genius marketing campaign, make a shit load of money, and for some reason quite a few people dig it. I don’t get it, but they have a good thing going, just like OSU.



Missouri

Martini



Hmmmm, what to drink? I wonder what an SEC man would order right now. Ooooh, I heard they make good cosmos here. I’ll try that. No wait, that’s gay. What about a martini? James Bond drinks martinis.



“Sir, I’ll take a martini please.”  

“Sure what kind?”

Fuck. There are different kinds? What does Bond say?

“Shaken, not stirred.”

“Look, broseph, we’re busy. What kind of martini do you want?”

Fuck.

Missouri just wants to fit in. Member of the Big 12, flirting with the Big 10, and now joining the SEC. Make up your damn mind already.

Up next: SEC

  1. The Frattuccino

    You should do the Big East before the SEC since they are 1-0 against them in bowls.

      Boise State- Hypnotic. Not because they have blue turf, but because they don’t deserve to belong anywhere.

    2. Success

      You’re obviously correct, the Big East is superior to the SEC in every way. How many bowls is the Big East even in? “You suck” – everyone

    3. The Frattuccino

      I’m not saying the SEC is bad, it’s just that they are playing catch-up with the Big East, Sun Belt, and WAC.

      not familiar with purple drank, but then again, that title probably belongs to an HBCU

    Pretty much spot on. Our football program is the fuck stain of the Big 12. Can’t deny we are a force on the court though.

    1. 3rdGenPhiDelt

      Right with you there rockchalk, maybe Weiss can get us out of the shitter..

      13 years ago at 7:17 pm
    2. Joe DiMaggibro

      Hopefully Crist and Heaps can live up to their potential and Weis can get some decently talented guys to surround them. Hopefully we can at least make the Meineke Car Care Bowl while I’m still around.

      The SEC has UK, the Big 12 has KU. Both are pathetic at football but give the conferences some basketball credentials.

    You should’ve started with the SEC! Goodness! Intrigued by this article though. Can’t wait to read another, most specifically, the SEC article.

    As much as I love KU, and wouldn’t wanna be from any other college town, I have to agree with you. Great column.

      Four loko isn’t frat and neither is “swag”, so lace ’em up and get out geed.

      Franthony must be an Aggie. I’d be bitter too if i didn’t get accepted to Texas.

    2. FaFTexas

      Considering that TFM was started at The University of Texas I find it hard to believe that they are NF.
