• Caught some high-level comments about the new Big 12 regarding the Pokes – always interesting to hear non-OSU folks’ thoughts: 

I have long said that Oklahoma State and TCU are best equipped to capitalize in this new era because of their world-class facilities and booster support. Yet the Cowboys faceplanted last season, and Mike Gundy had to rework his contract to remain the head coach. 

I’ll say this: Texas Tech is my best bet to emerge as a contender, though I’m still counting on parity in the league. The Red Raiders’ facilities are fantastic, and a billionaire booster leads the NIL collective, which helped land the nation’s No. 3 portal class.
