Happy new year, sports fans. No one needs a good ’08 more than Oklahoma State football. Watch my latest video commentary or read below: How will we look back on the Oklahoma State Cowboys in 2007? There’s one more game to come, of course. The Insight Bowl kicks off only a few...

Are we really talking about Eddie Sutton getting a coaching job in December? You bet. Watch my latest video commentary or read below: Eddie Sutton could not have scripted a better scenario had he pulled out an Olympia typewriter and pounded it himself. The Oklahoma State great is back in...

This video speaks for itself.

This is Christmas week, not April fools. I’m beginning to think, though, that’s what college sports’ brass take us for — fools.  Check out my latest video commentary or read below: Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A college sports bigwig tells us, “It’s all about the...

Got to thinking about the New England Patriots and their assault on perfection the other day. Which, of course, got me thinking about college football. Eh? Watch my latest video commentary or read here: The New England Patriots are on the verge of something historic — an undefeated...

Early this morning, I received an e-mail from Chris Wall. Perhaps you read the Sunday story about his book honoring Justin Sullivan, the Yukon High School baseball player who died tragically five years ago. The minister at Council Road Baptist Church sent along some good news Wednesday morning...

Oklahoma’s opponent in the Fiesta Bowl lost its coach over the weekend. Why did Rich Rodriguez bolt from West Virginia? Watch my latest video commentary or read here: It’s hard to blame Rich Rodriguez for leaving West Virginia for Michigan. No doubt you heard the news over the...

Looks like Larry Fedora is going to be the new head coach at Southern Miss. But it took some finagling. The reason might have something to do with Les Miles. Watch my latest video commentary about it or read here: I know this is going to be difficult to stomach, Oklahoma State fans, but Les...

Enjoyed a fun exchange between Oklahoma defensive standouts Curtis Lofton and Auston English on Friday. I wrote about it in my Saturday column, specifically about how these two knew about West Virginia’s offensive prowess long before the Sooners and Mountaineers became Fiesta Bowl opponents....

Celebrate the season. The college football season, that is. Watch my latest video commentary or read below: I thought long and hard about today’s subject. I considered the BCS mess. I figured I could talk about the screwy computers or the whacked-out voters, the travesty of the system or...

You may not know Michael Thompson, but chances are good, you know his voice. For the two years that the Hornets made their nest in Oklahoma City, Thompson was the man on the P.A. He was the voice you heard during the games, announcing players and explaining fouls but also pumping up the crowd....

The BCS mess continues. Watch my latest video commentary or read below: First of all: a bit of disclosure. I grew up in Kansas. I went to the University of Kansas. As a kid, I even cheered for the Jayhawks. Their mortal enemies, by the way, are the Missouri Tigers. And after last...

Another day, another video commentary. You can watch it here or read below: Oklahoma-Missouri was so good the first time, they’ve decided to do it again. Sooners v. Tigers. Stoops v. Pinkel. Saturday. This, my friends, is big. The Sooners will face the top-ranked Tigers in the...

How ’bout a little Heisman talk? You can watch my latest video commentary or read here: Heisman Trophy ballots are due next week. And I have no idea who’s going to be on mine. I thought I had it all figured out a few weeks ago. Oregon quarterback Dennis Dixon had become an obvious...

Over the weekend, I received a couple of reader e-mails that hit several nails on the head. From Deric in Kansas City: Here is an ugly truth about what will happen this year in college football. Oklahoma will beat Missouri in the Big 12 Championship game.  It will be close, but for...

Be afraid, Sooners. Be very afraid. This Missouri offense looks darn good. There’s a bunch of football yet to be played in Kansas City, so Kansas may very well come out on top. Should Missouri end up winning and advancing to the Big 12 championship game, though, the Tigers look...

No, I’m not talking Bedlam here. I’m talking about The Game. Kansas vs. Missouri. Wow, is that right? Kansas? Missouri? The game of the year in the Big 12? No one saw this coming. When the season began, the Jayhawks-Tigers match-up was something of an afterthought. Sure,...

Kansas gave up a home game to play Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium. So, you’d think the Jayhawks would have the fan advantage. But will they? Less than half an hour before kickoff, the Arrowhead stands are tinted more black and gold than blue and crimson. Perhaps all the Jayhawk fans are...

Let’s the Bedlam fun begin. Watch my video commentary or read here: Well, well, well. This should be interesting. It’s Bedlam week. Perhaps you heard. The rivalry has been stellar these past eight or 10 years. Good games, even an upset or two. Only a couple blowouts. And with both...

This just in: Zac Robinson is good. The Oklahoma State quarterback is developing into quite a quarterback, maybe even one of the best in the Big 12. He already has 275 yards of total half in just the first half against Baylor, 105 rushing and 170 passing. With the Cowboys seeming content...
