This would be the highest attendance for ANY conference championship game in history - not just Big 12.

Big 10 record is 67,842 in 2023 and SEC is 83,091 in 1992. https://t.co/e6tXPqBK6u

Those in blue will outnumber those in red. Expect the crowd to be BYU by 2 to 1.

There are almost 400,000 Mormons in Texas.

Back in 1994 when Tech made its only appearance in the Cotton Bowl as a SWC co-champ, Tech fans were so excited that they broke the record for most tickets purchased by the host school's fans (previously held by BU in 1980). Kickoff was early, and traffic was so bad that most Tech fans didn't even get to their seats until late in the 1st quarter, at which time the score was already USC 28, Tech 0.

As I recall we played USC and lost 37-27 that season.

Both teams will be stoked. Tech playing for its first conference title since the 50s in their pre SWC days and BYU with Sitake turning down PSU and also playing for their first major conference title.

Seriously doubt that. While I'm fully aware of BYU's loyal Mormon following and their ability to draw fans, TTech has a ton of alums in the DFW Area that will show up. I expect a 50/50 like crowd if not a slight majority for TTech.

Nah, it will be 2/3 raider fans. They have a ton of fans and have never had a game this big in their history.

No reason it shouldn't be close to a 50/50 split.
