Long-time WRNL Discord veteran here, first-time Cyclone Fanatic poster. Heard WRNL got denied Big 12 Media Days credentials. Frankly, that's a travesty. They make elite hype videos and do more for fan engagement than half the credentialed outlets. Is this some kind of anti-meme bias? Smells like gatekeeping, if you ask me.

WRNL died years ago. The original owners were way better than the crap they put out now. And I know the guys who creaated the site.

WRNL was started with the expressed intention of never being credentialed. No idea where the current owners stand, but the OGs had less than no interest in it.

I actually think one generation of operators DID get credentialed for a year or two. Just depends on how much the current crew wants to pursue it.

I'd tell you not to be a dickhead @CyCrazy - but we all know that's your nature ;)

Sounds like a great reason for a “things that probably happened at B12 media days” satire article to me.

Yep. They peaked when they labeled Coach Heacock’s unit the Red Wedding, relegating the likes of the Blackshirts and the Wrecking Crew to also-ran status as iconic nicknames.
