Three Thoughts

• This is a fun take – can the “Dust Bowl” (OSU vs. Tech) pass Iowa State vs. K-State as the new Big 12’s best rivalry? Playing Tech at Jerry World in Arlington would be a fun thing, right?

• This is one of the better articles comparing OSU to Texas Tech on each side of the ball

• Lots of fun games on the docket for this weekend – the Pokes will start to surface as a contender with each win:

After the Red Raiders, Oklahoma State faces TCU, Texas, Kansas State and Kansas in consecutive games so if there was a time for the Pokes to emerge as a contender to reach the College Football Playoff, it starts this weekend.

• Champs against the spread – this has to be a result of being criminally underrated over time.

#OKstate leads all Power 5 schools in record Against The Spread since 2010. I find it fitting Kansas State, another school widely dismissed nationally, is right behind them. pic.twitter.com/4sTxu1Y8tp

One Question

• Basketball’s Bryce Thompson has a car deal, Daton Fix has a truck deal, what OSU football player most deserves a car deal?

#OKState star wrestler Daton Fix with a new NIL deal.

Bryce Thompson isn’t the only Cowboy with a car anymore. https://t.co/MHMvFwUJqk
