If you were to ask anyone who knows me well enough what one of my all-time favorite television shows are, they would probably answer, “Lost.”

This past season marked the sixth and final season of the series and I’ll admit, at first I was upset because it was not what I expected. 

In many ways, I would compare the recent Big 12 football media day to the final season of “Lost.”

Like “Lost,” Big 12 football media day may not have been what everyone wanted, but ultimately, it ended up being exactly what it should have been.

For “Lost,” it was more about the characters that drove the show for six seasons. For the football media day, it was about the football.

Obviously there was a certain buzz surrounding this event thanks in large part to it being the last time these 12 teams will share a media day.

Indeed, it was something to look forward to. Colorado, Nebraska, Texas and Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe were all there to talk to the media and answer any questions people may have.

Well, any questions within reason that is.

Nebraska’s news conference Monday morning marked the beginning of the event, but coach Bo Pelini began by saying he would not field any questions about the Big Ten.

Colorado had to wait until Wednesday to go, but when coach Dan Hawking took the podium, the only real question he had to answer regarding the change to the Pac 10 was about how this off-season was for the football players and how he rallied them together.

And like any football coach, Hawking said the usual, “I’m proud of these guys, it was a tough situation, we’re resilient, we’ll get past it,” and so on. 

All in all, it was a pretty simple media day.

No tough questions were really asked, and it seemed as though everyone there was ready to move forward into the upcoming season.

Despite everything that has happened in the past few months and the headache that was the future of the Big 12, maybe this was the way it should have been.

After reading Pelini’s manuscript of the news conference, I’ll admit, I was upset. I felt like I did during the first half of the final episode of “Lost,” upset because they weren’t answering the questions I expected to be answered.

But after taking some time to think it over and talking to a co-worker — a very biased, but very loyal, Nebraska fan — I decided this is the way the media day should have gone.

I’m not saying the Big 12 change is not an important story, and I’m not saying it’s going to go away and people are going to forget about it. But as far as sports go, maybe the best thing to do is to move on.

Fact is, college football is one the biggest sporting seasons in America and Iowa State’s first game is a mere five weeks away.

So as for now, it’s time to move on and remember what they tell us in “Lost.”

“Whatever happened, happened, and that’s that.”
