Last week was an absolute chaotic carnival in Big 12 football, delivering a series of shocking results, major upsets, and significant shifts in the conference hierarchy. If you thought the league was wide open before, Week 4 blew the doors off the competition.Here is a breakdown of how wild the week was:The Preseason Favorite CrumblesThe biggest story of the weekend was the complete dismantling of the presumed Big 12 favorite.Texas Tech Dominates Utah: The No. 17 Texas Tech Red Raiders flew into Salt Lake City and delivered a jarring 34-10 beatdown of No. 16 Utah. The Red Raiders' defense stifled the Utes' offense all game, holding them to just 10 points. The win not only marked Texas Tech as the new team to beat but also immediately put Utah at a massive disadvantage in the conference race at 0-1.A Coaching Firing After a Rock-Bottom LossThe results of the weekend led to a coaching change that sent shockwaves across the country.Oklahoma State Upset by Tulsa: The Cowboys hit a new low, losing at home to in-state Group of Five rival Tulsa, 19-12. This stunning defeat—a loss to a team they were double-digit favorites against—was the final straw. Mike Gundy was fired just days later, ending the longest coaching tenure in the Big 12 and symbolizing just how quickly the landscape of the conference is changing.Kansas’s Offense Continues to ShineWhile not an upset, one team definitively proved they are a legitimate contender.Kansas Rolls West Virginia: The Kansas Jayhawks dominated West Virginia, 41-10, in their conference opener. Quarterback Jalon Daniels and the Jayhawks' high-powered offense looked virtually unstoppable, signaling that Kansas is a serious threat to compete for a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game.In summary, last week was marked by the biggest early-season upset of the Big 12 favorite, the ensuing firing of a legendary coach, and a dramatic, last-second win by one of the league's newest members. The results have essentially reset the league's power structure, proving that in the new 16-team Big 12, absolutely any team can win on any given Saturday.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYEnough with boring, flavorless caffeine, it’s time to give your caffeine a flavor upgrade with 5-hour ENERGY®️ shots.

ALERT: Admitting I was DEAD WRONG about Rodney Gallagher. Is he a RISING STAR? Mountaineer Nation, buckle up—it's time for a full podder's mea culpa! On this fiery edition of Locked On West Virginia, I'm eating every bit of crow from my offseason shade on RG3. I trashed him as a "slot gadget pretender" who couldn't step up as WVU's go-to WR1... but the Backyard Brawl said HOLD MY HELMET. In that overtime thriller dub over Pitt, Rodney balled out with 7 receptions for 61 yards, turning short routes into chunk plays and keeping the chains moving when it mattered most. Add in his early-season flashes (8 catches for 73 yards total so far), and this dude's route tree is blooming like never before. Is Gallagher primed for a breakout Big 12 campaign? Let's unpack the redemption and what it means for the Eers' aerial attack. Raw takes, highlight breakdowns, and zero excuses. If you're riding with WVU, this is your must-listen! Smash play, drop a sub, and tell me in the comments: Who's next on my apology tour?

Streamed 1 hour ago #LockedOnWestVirginia #WVU #Mountaineers Mountaineer Nation, it's time to celebrate! In this episode of Locked on West Virginia, we dive into WVU's massive off-court victory against the NCAA. After last year's unjust snub from March Madness—despite a strong resume and unanimous bracketologist picks—Governor Patrick Morrisey and AG J.B. McCuskey fought back hard. Their push exposed potential biases, like UNC's AD chairing the committee while their team snuck in as one of the last bids. Now, the NCAA is rolling out game-changing rules for 2026: Committee chairs must recuse themselves if their school is under review, step out for final at-large decisions, and stay silent on their team's inclusion. This is transparency triumphing over conflicts of interest, all thanks to West Virginia's relentless advocacy. Join us as we break it down, relive the drama, and hype what's next for WVU hoops.

#LetsGoMountaineersHashtags #BackyardBrawl #WVUFootball Mountaineer Paul from Locked On West Virginia is fired up about Pitt QB Eli Holstein’s misguided comments on the Backyard Brawl. Holstein, fed exaggerated tales by coach Pat Narduzzi, claims WVU fans in Morgantown will hurl batteries and beer while flipping him off. These baseless stereotypes paint Mountaineer Nation as dangerous, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Morgantown’s passionate fans bring electric energy to Milan Puskar Stadium, but they’re not the chaotic mob Pitt’s staff describes. This narrative, rooted in Narduzzi’s summer radio remarks, unfairly tarnishes WVU’s reputation. Mountaineer Paul sets the record straight: Morgantown is a welcoming, spirited place for the Backyard Brawl, not a warzone.
