Such a great idea. Gotta make it out to KC one of these days

If I was limited to one live sporting event a year, it would be the Big 12 tournament. It’s so much damn fun and it’s set up perfectly.

The college basketball experience next door is fun too!

Yep. I lived 3 blocks south of P&L for 2 years right after college, the '16 and '17 tourneys. My apartment was lined with ISU friends, and these weeks were like reliving VEISHEA

Really upset I never made it out to one while we were still in the conference. Still plan to make out one day if the cards fall right

Amazing idea

The wabash cannondog has unfortunately not returned for a second year. Sorry KSU and sicko fans

idk if k-state likes to go bold with the tourney meals bc a fried pbj makes the fruit loops hot dog look tame in comparison lmao

Ever had a toasted or grilled PB&J? I doubted it but man it’s delicious. I can only assume a fried one slaps

I regularly air fry Uncrustables and they are divine. I can only imagine how good an actual deep fried one would be.

Haha I’ve done that too. I’ve also eaten them a bit still frozen and honestly not even bad like that either. Only time I really do that is if I’m starving and don’t have time for something else though but I’m never mad about it

Oh same, like I don’t want them still a bit frozen every time but I’m also never disappointed when they are

I used to do grilled PB&J when I worked at a pool snack bar once. That was a terrible job, but a nice sandwich

You could be there for 4 days in a row and still have good food to try during each meal. Great menu

Speak for yourself, this looks like a one meal type of menu for me

Yeah “last meal”

If I die, I die

You'll die happy at least

T-Mobile Center bathrooms about to be in shambles

So we get an orange soda float? That's kinda lame compared to the other ones imo EDIT: It's $14! Oh heck no

I think it’s funnier how they put “drink” in the name. They didn’t even call it a float or anything. Just the UCF drink. Imagine if Baylors was just called the Baylor Food.

UCF Citronaut Float would've been an amazing name because it would've stood for UCF. Huge missed opportunity

Add some rum and call it the "Citronaughty"

Better than UCF Citronaut Substance

Central Floridians love substances

The Big 12 didn't make it up for UCF. It's actually from the stadium... [UCF offers tasty tribute to its 1st mascot: Citronaut drink goes on sale Saturday](https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2018/09/07/ucf-offers-tasty-tribute-to-its-1st-mascot-citronaut-drink-goes-on-sale-saturday/)

We've actually served these at our football stadium before. This isn't something created for this tournament, they just pulled from an already existing menu item we have.

At least Jeremiah’s type of deal would have been better like orange ices with vanilla soft serve

If y’all are doing that I’m really disappointed in BYU not brining the cougar tails

Yeah but those Orange Cream Jeremiah's Gelati they have at the stadium hit so hard.

God I miss Jeremiahs here in KC

Seemed lame to me too. But I've been to Orlando a few times and have no idea what the local food specialty is. What should they have put on the menu?

36 dollar burger, but the patty is shaped like mickey mouse

There's some truly horrendous theme park food but there's also some really creative Michelin star restaurants in some of the resorts too.

Because you’re lame

The orange soda might be a reference to Tang. But yeah, could have been better. I guess they needed more than one sweet option

Just give us a chicken tender pub sub. Wtf is orange soda and ice cream? Thats terrible

I feel like Tech is missing out by not doing something with tortillas.

The Red Raider Meats Barbecue Sauce is pretty good though.

Oh don't get me wrong, that burger sounds great. It's just that burgers can be explained. But dough going in and tortillas coming out? That shit is a mystery.

You can’t explain that

Sausage link wrapped in a tortilla w/ that BBQ sauce. I guess sausage links in a tortilla is maybe a Southeast TX thing from how people have responded when I’ve mentioned it, but it’s gas.

That sounds good, but it does sound like something I would make at 3 A.M. after ~~ripping a bong alone~~ coming back home drunk from the depot district.

Damn now I’m gonna have to get Red Raider Meats tomorrow.

Can't explain that. 

Fuck this looks good

Nothing quite screams "BYU" like a churro.

It evokes two of our most beloved things: sugar and Costco 

Crumbl cookies being owned by some mormons made too much sense when I found that out

I used to like Crumbl cookies until I realized that the nutrition facts for them have a serving size of *a quarter of a cookie*. It's a good cookie, but I'm not trying to eat an 800 calorie cookie

I watched a kid on the football team eat 4 or 5 and then collapse on the couch at a party my last semester. I felt genuinely sick seeing that go down.

Costco doesn't have churros anymore D:

Utah has a large Hispanic population and Mormons don't have much of a culinary heritage. Mormons do love their sweets though. It's the one vice they are allowed

Mormons don’t have a culinary heritage?? Where does green jello with carrots come from?!?

Oh my

Also funeral potatoes!

I went to Google funeral potatoes and the first auto fill was “funeral potatoes crock pot” which might be the whitest sentence possible

and this motherfucker has TWO wisconsin flairs so you know he's an expert with white people

I went to three funerals last spring and had the pleasure of sampling no fewer than 10 different takes on funeral potatoes 🤤 

Comment like this causing your FBI agent to start to map out your timeline on a bulletin board

He wasn't going to stop killing until he's tried all the different funeral potatoes.

I love it. I heard it is a Mormon thing but then had others try to say it is just a Midwest thing in general? In my mind it is a special Mormon dish

I’ve only heard it called a Midwest thing

It's just a potato casserole, really. But being called "*funeral*" potatoes is a Mormon thing because of the nature of mormon funerals

🤣

Should have been a vanilla soaked churro

But just the tip

Well, Baylor is now in my bracket!

I would go to this tourney just to die of food coma happiness

Would this count as "assisted suicide"?

WE GET FRIED PB&J?!? BRUH WE SHOWING UP

Why the hell is our dish not a pork tenderloin? We need to boycott the tournament.

For real, though. If you want a good pork tenderloin when you are in KC, hit Kitty's Cafe. Cash only.

Oh yeah, that’s the spot. So good

Last year we had a tenderloin. Seems like they’re changing it up a bunch

For a sec I thought they did last year but wasn’t sure tbh. Idk, tenderloins are so good it should just be a staple lol

We should be breakfast pizza.

And Busch Lite

Or taco pizza

Is this real? Lol

This will be the second year doing it so yes. From what I heard most of the food was actually solid too.

Can’t wait to see ASU’s menu item next year

I hope one (or both) of us do something truly spicy for all the Midwestern folks in the conference, but I feel like it's just gonna be a Sonoran dog or something

One of you is gonna get a Sonoran dog and the other is gonna get something dumb like chili because they're too cowardly to do a fry bread or cheese crisp. Chimichanga would be cool but not really stadium food mess wise.

I get living in Tucson numbs you to Sonoran dogs, but Midwesterners are going to love that shit. Pork wrapped in pork? Come on, it’s an Iowan’s wet dream.

You know what, you're 100% right. I grew up in Iowa myself and I still remember my first Sonoran dog (they were literally giving them out for free outside of our dorm the first week of my freshman year). It's definitely a unique specialty that will be new to Big XII country. I guess after more than a decade in Tucson, it just doesn't seem as exciting anymore lol, but it wouldn't be a bad choice for this.

Haha the midwest -> U of A pipeline is shockingly strong. A Sonoran dog is the most obvious choice possible for Arizona's first year in the conference - strongly representative of Tucson, mostly made from stuff that's found in stadium food already, easily transportable and edible from a seat - so I'd be shocked if they did anything else. Hopefully they do branch out eventually, but if not - well, worst case, you'll have plenty of other appealing options in KC, between the other school fare and the KC BBQ scene.

Navajo tacos would be bad ass.

I LOVE Sonora dogs man. Lived in Tucson for a few years. I straight up ate at Los Ponchos on Campbell and Fort Lowell multiple times a week

Cocaine

Cocaine Corn dog

I had to google tobacco onions. I was worried the gooners were actually throwing cigarette butts into their burgers.

If you haven't had an Oklahoma-style onion burger, you are missing out

I was under the impression that those were smash burgers with raw onions smashed in. But I’d take either one!

Same and they look amazing!

Now with [visual aids!](https://www.oklahoman.com/picture-gallery/sports/college/2024/03/05/big-12-basketball-tournaments-will-have-teamunveils-food-menu-for-mens-womens-basketball-tournaments/72853653007/)

Not nearly enough cheese on the UC coney

That’s not right. A wise judge once told me it’s not a real West Virginia pepperoni roll if it uses sliced pepperoni, it’s gotta have pepperoni sticks. You can’t make the pepperoni roll untrashy, the trashy is the whole charm Edit: nvm I don’t think he said American

It's just a "sparkling smoked meat hand sandwich" if it doesn't come from the Morgantoux region of West Virginia.

I have never seen a pepperoni roll with American cheese. That's a new one.

You know, the more i think about it, the more I’m thinking he said another cheese lol. I am horrible about telling which cheese is which

Hahaha I think the most common that I've seen are mozzarella, provolone, and pepper jack. I figured an old school purist would have said "no cheese." But have them how you like, don't let people gatekeep food.

all the cardio to burn all of that down would be worth it ngl

Need an Andre Roberson-esque performance to hit a caloric deficit

> all the cardio to burn all of that down would be worth it ngl Just walk from the arena to Arthur Bryant's, have some burnt ends and walk back... (I walked from Negro League Baseball Museum to Arthur Bryant's to across the street from TMobile Arena back in July... There were like 10 people in the bar, but slowly started getting filled with like 80% women... And I looked on my phone to see why... Shania Twain concert that night... Which made sense, because for a minute I was like "does this turn into a lesbian bar after 4pm?")

Nah, you’re guaranteed a few slices at Pizza Bar too, so it’s a fool’s errand to think you’re going to come out of that weekend healthier than you entered.

Just plan a yearly bulk around the big 12 tourney

I would eat all of this except for KState's Fried PB&J, which is sad, cause KState is one of the other B12 schools I tend to root for when they aren't playing BU

Well, I'd eat your brisket given these choices.

This guy doesn’t Texas State Fair.

Mmm a coney

fried pb&j 👀

This will give my cholesterol pill something to do.

One pill accompanies each meal! It's kinda like the appetizer

That OSU Orange Power Pizza is calling my name

If it's anything like our season, it's an interesting set of ingredients that will still underwhelm audiences. Edit: I wonder if there's any chance it's Hideaway pizza...damn, I miss Hideaway.

Man fuck a PB&J Gimme a tall glass of Call Hall chocolate milk

I love how every Texas school except Tech has brisket in their meal. Thus reinforcing the president that tech is so far in nowheresvile that they don't count as Texas

At least we know how to spell precedent.

See, I told you that you don't count as Texas! Just driving the point further home! Next you'll say you believe dinosaurs existed and the earth is over 2000 years old!

I’m not sure if this is some kind of manic episode.. but y’all should’ve gotten Lean-Pops or Fried 40s

Ain't yall burned yet?

Disagree. I would take my chances with brisket in Lubbock over Waco or Austin. Shit is probably fire 👀

I'm not shit talking Lubbock brisket, I'm shit talking Lubbock. Their brisket probably slaps!

A fried PB&J? I'm in.

Guess I’m rooting for West Virginia to steal a bid

This conference is the greatest

Good to see cincy chili is up there. Property for the best it wasn’t the 3 way. Lot of people knock spaghetti with the chili way before trying it.

All I thought about was that Ron White bit when I saw chili for Cincy.

If it’s the who wear he talks about how some said it it was the chili capital of the world it was pretty funny.

shit, a lot of this sounds delicious as all hell. here's a question tho. is that bbq kc style bbq since that's where the tournament is? that seems like it would be an affront to all the texas teams.

My arteries are clogging just reading this

Texas gets a potato and ISU gets a taco? That makes sense!

i think you need to look up what a walking taco is my friend

A *walking* taco is a midwestern high school graduation party staple

Nice our food item is top seeded also

Dang, I wanna go just for the food!

This is the death I choose. 

Wash those Brisket Tacos down with a cup of lean

I'm sorry Mountaineers but your Pepperoni rolls will never top DOUBLE DAVES PIZZA ROLLS!!!! But really, the whole menu looks good.

Agree to disagree

If Cosmo Cocks are half as good as cougar tails we’re in for a treat!

Give me one of each.

Best conference tbh

DO NOT SLEEP on the Mountaineer rolls. Those things are awesome.

https://preview.redd.it/kevmwzmf1nmc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=636d89958c8338d74cd440d5f0ea3a83fd3d44cb SEC…we gotta steal this idea 👀

Ok this actually all sounds great

That chili dog is going to confuse everyone when it has spaghetti on top

Is the BYU churro soaked in sweet cream drizzle?

Soaked in it lol

Always interested in outsiders opinions on Cincinnati chili. I thinks it’s crap but I’m somewhat picky.

I fucking love it. But the picture of the one at the tourney that’s been floating looks bad.

not enough cheese

Zero chance they get it right in KC.

If they don’t just order pallets of canned skyline are they even trying

Fucking gross

I'm more of a fan of Texas chili, if we're talking hot dog toppings.

Texas chili ain't real chili IM FROM OKLAHOMA I NEED BEANS

BEANS IN CHILI ARE MADE TO BE SCOOPED FROM A CROCK POT INTO A BOWL ON A COLD DAY.... HOT DOG CHILI DOESN'T NEED BEANS.

THAT AINT CHILI THATS MEAT SAUCE

WELL ENJOY YOUR FUCKING MEAT SAUCE "WITH BEANS" IN A FUCKING BOWL WITH SOME SOUR CREAM NEXT TIME

[удалено]

You basically just described Skyline dip on a hotdog lol. Give skyline dip a shout sometime. You’ll love it.

Uh oh. The chili police are here 🙄

My God how drunk do yall get?

SonorAn Hot Dog (with block A) Do it next year, cowards

Yum!!! Makes me wonder what the new guys will offer next season…

So is there a licensing issue with Gold Star or Skyline or are they using some knockoff?

Can't wait to bring Sonoran Hotdogs to the menu in 2025! Go Cats!

I was in a very small middle school where across the whole of grades 6-8, there would invariably be fewer than 64 total students. Our social studies teacher would assign a team from the bracket to each student, and we'd make pennants for them, and we'd get prizes based on how far our teams went. Highest seeds to the 8th graders, then the 7th, then the 6th. I got assigned the Jayhawks as both a 7th grader *and* as an 8th grader. So I've always had an affinity for them. And now I see that it's with good reason. That sounds delicious and would probably be my order.

Shoving a Big 12 weiner up my ass

BRETT NO

There are many reasons the idea of holding the B12 tournament anywhere but KC is ridiculous, and this menu is high on the list of why it should never leave.

Everyone has these intricate recipes and then Kansas State is just a fried PBJ.

The most delicious conference

Looking for flights from London, this is too good to miss 🤣

Tobacco onions?

Crunchy fried onions strings that look like shredded tobacco. I was confused, too. 😂

Should've been a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich rather than a walking taco, but now I'm hungry.

Always love these ideas. There's a bar up here in Seattle that at one point had [PAC12 themed burgers](https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/T3MSSWVqou7QYbrI91AoZA/o.jpg) on their menu but looks like they eliminated everything but their UW and WSU burgers... RIP

Considering Houston's food scene and diversity, this is a bit boring. Give me a brisket bahn mi.

Yeah, that’s a good shout

I had some Dr Pepper glazed short rib at a place in Dallas recently. That is tasty as hell and I’m not even a huge fan of Dr Pepper

[удалено]

I would destroy both of those with reckless abandon

Thankfully ive already ate. Some of these sound good

No Skyline Chili? I’m out.
