One of the better ideas to come from our mothership is that of fan base anxiety, popularized by the Podcast Ain’t Played Nobody duo of Bill Connelly and Steven Godfrey. There’s no metric or set scale for the concept, but it does exist in fan bases that support either a perennially underachieving bunch or a once-mighty team that has plummeted from the ranks of the elite.
And now that the college basketball regular season has ended and the selection committee has handed down its decisions from on high, it’s time to change up our format in this weekly column and rank each Big 12 team based on anxiety level.
