Oklahoma State voted best uniforms in Big 12

Props to David Ubben, Brandon Chatmon, and Jake Trotter on conducting this secret poll of all the players who attended Big 12 media days[1. Here’s a list of everybody who attended.]. The questions were great, the answers were better, and the results were enlightening.

You should go read the whole thing but here are some of the highlights:

• Everybody LOVES TCU. They were picked to win the league (36%), as the team most guys would want to switch to if they had to switch (25%), and Gary Patterson was picked as the coach most players would want to play for (25%). PLUS they were picked as having the second-best uniforms in the league.

• Oklahoma State was picked as having the best uniforms in the league (43%). That’s great, and I like them a lot, but when a poll has Texas having the seventh-best unis in the Big 12,[1. I think they have the best unis in the country, or are at least in the conversation.] and TCU second and Baylor third, I’m not sure how seriously I can take it.

• Stillwater was voted the second-best road trip (14%) behind Austin (duh) (43%) and this was said by one player: Oklahoma State. The fans, the atmosphere, it’s crazy. You can’t find another like that in college football. Look, I love Stillwater, LOVE it…and I think it’s one of the best atmospheres in the Big 12, maybe THE best. But you can find other places like it.

• 100% of players were in favor of re-instituting the conference title game. I guess I don’t see the point if you’re going to play all nine of the teams.

• LOL at Texas only getting 4% of the “who’s the favorite?” vote.

• Somebody said this about OU’s mascot: They got those horse-pig things. 

Really, go read the entire thing — it’s really interesting. And again, great work by those guys…but really, TCU?!
