Three Thoughts

• We’ve got some solid pregame coverage for you on the bye week Kansas game:

– Previewing the game and all the game details (kickoff, TV, etc.)
– Who’s on the call for the game
– Picks and predictions
– Podcast previewing the game and talking Hoco memories

• One of the bigger questions of the day – what homecoming throwback will we see? I’ll cosign on this 1909 logo on a black helmet idea

Homecoming means throwbacks in some way or capacity so which logo would you want to see on a helmet??

• CBS has the Pokes finishing No. 4 in Big 12 Basketball this year – here’s why:

Mike Boynton and his staff adapted as well as any to the new landscape in college athletics this offseason with the addition of four transfers — including two former five-star talents in Bryce Thompson and Moussa Cisse. While the Cowboys are replacing No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham, Avery Anderson is in line to be the face of a team that’s long, tall and athletic enough to potentially own the best defense in the league.

Two Quotes

• Here’s a great description of OSU’s title game chances:

Win out and you’re in the Big 12 Championship game.

Win them all except Bedlam you probably are too with you owning the head-to-head with Baylor and the Bears and the Cyclones both still having to play Sooners and Texas. OU may not look like normal OU but they can still beat anyone they play in this league. Same with Texas. Don’t be surprised if Iowa State and Baylor both drop a game to one of those two.

• Mike Gundy let’s us in a bit on what goes into a quarterback playing well.

“When you don’t protect well early, most quarterbacks, their biological clock just starts running really fast,” Gundy said. “They start moving their feet. Their eyes travel. They don’t stay locked into what they’re supposed to.

“I’m not saying we have to be the offensive steel curtain, but if we just protect well and let him get comfortable, he really plays better.”
