• Enjoying this new Big 12 preview series from PFB:
– Looking at Cincinnati
– Looking at UCF
– Looking at Houston

• Explaining what’s so easy about the Cowboys’ football schedule this fall:

The Cowboys travel to the state of Texas just once, to play Houston. Oklahoma State plays just four conference road games, with two coming against conference newcomers, and the others coming against the two bottom teams in the conference during the 2022 season. Oklahoma State can reach eight wins without breaking much of a sweat if things fall right.

• Bummer – the Pokes lost out to Baylor for a Utah lineback yesterday (Twitter)

• Like the idea of keeping the Big 12 at 14 teams if it’s the right folks:

“I’d like to stay at 14 [teams] even w/ the departures of Texas & Oklahoma. Candidly.”

It’s not so much a number that we’re thinking about. It’s really more about the fit… that’s critically important.”
