Waco`s Big 12 Pick The Big 12

Waco’s Big 12 pick the Big 12
The Waco Tribune-Herald and Cameron Park Zoo are celebrating the Big 12 with a new contest
this season: “Waco’s Big 12 Pick the Big 12.”
Twelve local mammals — 11 humans and one
orangutan — will go head-to-head to see
who’s best at making college football game
predictions. “It’s sure to be a gritty, down and
dirty, trash-talking football pickin’ frenzy,” said
Charlie Dansby, Waco Tribune-Herald marketing
manager.
Among the prognosticators are representatives
from 11 Waco-area businesses:
Praco Pawn, John McClaren Chevrolet, Hampton
Inn & Suites, Waco Hyundai, Johnson Group,
Allen Samuels Dodge, C&M Air Cooled Engines,
Marstaller Motors, Southwest Remodeling, Allen
Samuels Chevrolet and First Texas Prime Realty.
Rounding out the dirty dozen will be Mukah the
Sumatran/Bornean hybrid orangutan, who calls
Cameron Park Zoo home.
Mukah loves to watch TV, especially football,
according to his human keepers.
He will make his Big 12 game predictions live
each Saturday at 10:30. If Mukah
finds a game too close to call, he will consult with his Orangutan friends, Mei and KJ
who will help with selections at 2:30. Primate and football fans are encouraged to come
to the zoo and cheer him on. His first pick will be made on August 28 and he will continue
his live selections every Saturday through November 20.
Keep up with Waco’s Big 12 and their picks each Saturday in the Trib from
Sept. 4 through Nov. 27.
