Is it concentrated on one key area like sprinting?  Or are you dogs of distance (cross country runners do it longer :lol:)?

I don't think it's either of those, just track.

It's quite crazy - when you get OUTSIDE of the Big XII, schools are good at many things. Football, basketball, baseball, track, etc.

Can you fill me in on what a track coach does? Like, running fast is just something that happens so what does he coach?

Beats me
The starting line and the finish line.  Now you know.  :whistle1:

Per Wikipedia:

Track and field[edit]

The track and field team was under the direction of John McDonnell for over 25 years (since the 1977–78 academic year). McDonnell's men's teams have won 40 NCAA championships since 1984, including 11 cross country, 19 indoor track and 10 outdoor track along with 37 Southwest Conference Championships, and 38 of 40 SEC titles.[25] The Razorbacks, under his direction, won five National Triple Crowns, achieved by winning NCAA titles in cross country, indoor and outdoor track in the same school year. Arkansas and the University of Texas-El Paso (UTEP) are the only teams to have ever won the National Triple Crown. The track and field Razorbacks men completely dominated the sport during the 1990s, winning 24 of the 30 available titles. Now under the direction of coaches Chris Bucknam, Doug Case and Travis Geopfert, the men's track and field team still dominates the NCAA. They have won multiple triple crowns along with one National Championship since taking over in 2008.

How about football, basketball, and baseball conf championships all in the same year?

No one has done that, it is virtually impossible.

Agreed... we all knew it but Libby the Liberal didn't.

Isn't winning a championship in the Big 12 sort of like beating the blind school, an all girls school and the crippled children's home all in the same season?  I mean, you have to put your championships in context.

 What's especially interesting to me is that neither Oregon or Michigan came over to this blessed placeand acted like drugged up hobos but the Arky posters have done it twice.

Texas, Iowa State and... who? K-State?
KU dominates in basketball... everyone knows that. Does K-State dominate anything besides plowing dirt fields?

How many teams are there really? I mean, I know it's the "Big 12" but are there REALLY 12 teams?

If I remember correctly, the only reason I found this website is because it was a big game in 2012 and there was a local entertainment piece that picked up EMAW nation's trash talk. And we all know how the game in 2012 ended up, don't we?

The cotton bowl isn't a big game.

I guess maybe to pig aggies it is, but it's a bit of a disappointment for a program like kansas state

Yes.  We dominate plowing your sister.

Unfortunately I think Arky fans have the upper hand on that front. :(

I'm pretty sure the 2012 Cotton Bowl was a BCS bowl game that year... I think it was only disappointing to K-State because you all got your asses kicked after talking all that smack.

Track is a competition, not a sport.

Do you think they have like raging tailgates for T&F events?  Like everyone shows up to class hungover on Monday morning after a big track weekend?

At Arkansas, yes.  In prairie land, apparently not.
