• OSU-WSU on Sunday in GIA, and I’m thinking Ice is not going to play once again.

The Cowboys might be without their best player for a second consecutive game after Isaac Likekele missed OSU’s game Wednesday night with an undisclosed illness.

When PFB broke that Likekele wouldn’t play Wednesday night, many assumed freshman point guard Avery Anderson would fill into the vacancy, but it was freshman shooting guard Chris Harris that came in for Likekele. Senior starting wing player Lindy Waters took over point guard duties. [PFB]

You get all this momentum, and then all of a sudden your ace PG is out for at least one home game and possibly more. Stinks!

• Good rundown here of what Portal SZN means for OSU.

• Alamo against Utah? Put Jim Mora Jr. on the call!

• People are very excited for Brennan Presley.

• Speaking of losing players, OSU loses an offensive lineman to Texas (probably).

• I enjoyed this interview here with Eli Russ.

• I agree with this, every conference champ should be in.

• Did you guys really think he was coming back?

I lived in Sherwood park for less than half my life! How are you gonna tell me how I lived? Sorry my family doesn’t make 6 figures ???‍♂️ we will soon though! https://t.co/x82zl9alUv

• Every bowl game’s weirdest game ever.

• I love Angry CFP Carson. The best.

Is it time we consider 3-loss Wisconsin should get in the CFP over Oklahoma? How about Virginia?

• The Big 12 title was completely crazy.

Baylor completed passes for 81, 78 and 33 yards, leading to 17 of its 23 points.

Baylor gained a total of 71 yards on its 52 remaining plays.

• Also, here’s a look at which teams won the most Big 12 games in the last decade.

• Dying at this.

Can confirm Bob Stoops has NOT legally changed his name to Mike Norvell. Will continue investigating.
