![]() A few short months later, Texas A&M and Missouri bolted for the SEC and Beebe was out of a job.īut he’ll always have that event at Big 12 media days. It was hard, nay impossible, not to laugh at the spectacle. His message: The Big 12 had never been better. After that, a hype man comes out with a mic and does a one-on-one interview with Beebe that felt a lot like LeBron James and his infamous Decision. Then Beebe walks onto the same stage while the theme music from “The Natural” blares at max volume. Then we were asked to take pictures of every coach in the conference, who had gathered on a stage for a photo op that signified league unity.īut some of the coaches had already gone home. Everyone in attendance was presented a backpack filled with Big 12 swag. So, at the conclusion of Day 1 interviews, he gathers media into a ballroom for. But Dan Beebe wanted to convince the media everything was hunky-dory. Everyone was mad about The Longhorn Network for reasons that seemed important at the time and turned out to not matter at all.
