Lincoln Riley missed his own press conference Monday. “Under the weather,” we were told. I had just listened to Riley on the Big 12 coaches teleconference about 100 minutes earlier and hadn’t noticed anything. But I went back and listened after Cale Gundy subbed for Riley, and sure enough, Riley sounded miserable.
Generally, the Texas Week press conference is the most celebrated of the season. In the old days, a bunch of Texans would come up. Television crews from Dallas.
