ARLINGTON, Texas — Before Texas and Oklahoma State kicked off the 2023 Big 12 Championship from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, country singer Warren Zeiders grabbed the mic for the national anthem.
His rendition lasted a 1 minute, 41 seconds. And, according to the responses on X, formerly known as Twitter, a lot of you didn't like it. The overwhelming majority of responses did not enjoy the song – with varying degrees of harshness to the criticism. Warren Zeiders quickly became a top 10 trend on X after the start of the game.
Here are a few of the "nicer" reviews:
Quinn Ewers set a career high by throwing for 452 yards with four touchdowns, one of those to 362-pound defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat, and the seventh-ranked Texas Longhorns bid farewell to the Big 12 with a 49-21 win over No. 19 Oklahoma State in the conference championship game Saturday.
The Southeastern Conference-bound Longhorns (12-1, No. 7 CFP) will leave the Big 12 with bookend titles, and four overall. They also won it in the league's inaugural 1996 season, in 2005 when they were last national champs and in 2009 before playing in the BCS national championship game.
