Three Thoughts

• This is fun – OSU has scored more points in the Super Bowl than all but two other Big 12 teams (poor Texas)

• This (relative) recruiting success number on Cowboy Football surprised me:

… (OSU’s) average rating of 0.8615 is the third-highest for the program during the internet rankings era.

• A win over the No. 6 ranked Texas Longhorns today would be HUGE.

A win against the Longhorns would be a statement for the Pokes, as Texas enters Saturday’s matchup No. 6 in the AP Poll, but the Cowboys’ 77-74 loss to Texas in December already proves this will be difficult.

Two Quotes

• Mike Boynton said there’s no news to report on the NCAA appeal that threatens to hold the Pokes out of the NCAA Tourney:

“We feel like we’re in a good position to go defend ourselves and give our kids the opportunity they deserve, which is to be a part of what they all came to do: to have a chance to play in the tournament and compete in the postseason.”

[PFB]

• Mike Boynton will do a lot on social media to get his team noticed – here’s something he said he won’t do:

“The only one I’ve ever turned down was my SID (sports information director), he had this great idea of me doing a backflip into my pool,” Boynton said. “And first of all, I don’t backflip.”
