• See which Cowboys made it in the NFL and which ones didn’t (PFB(

• While OSU skidded into the offseason, I’m here to load you down with optimistic takes on the Pokes before the season starts:

Oklahoma State was 6-1 with its lone loss a three-point thriller against TCU in late October. The Pokes had won 26 of their previous 31 at that point, with four of the five losses coming by a touchdown or less. They looked like genuine contenders. Then the wheels came off. They finished 1-5 with blowout losses to Kansas and K-State.

That stretch coincided with a rash of injuries though, and there’s ample reason to assume 2023 will be a rebound back to respectability — and perhaps far better than that.
