Briles stoked for McLane Stadium atmosphere
Baylor Lariat sports editor and personal friend Shehan Jeyarajah was at Big 12 Media Days, and got a chance to talk to Art Briles about his expectations for McLane Stadium and the similarities between the leadup to Robert Griffin's Heisman season and the current hype for Bryce Petty. I'd argue that Petty is actually more widely known than Griffin was at the time due to Baylor's prolonged success and national relevance. Get ready for the season, folks. Briles expects lot out of the fans.
Austin sees success with NBA, pursuing degree

Trouble in Fort Worth?
A weird situation got weirder yesterday when TCU announced that star defensive end and preseason Big 12 DPOY Devonte Fields had become "separated from the university" pending a domestic assault investigation. Initial reports claim that Fields punched his ex-girlfriend in the face in Fort Worth after possibly pointing a gun at her.

If these rumors are true, Gary Patterson will have a difficult decision to make regarding Fields' future with the team. I think I speak for us all when I say I hope he doesn't want to coach a team with any classless players.
