Media days are here so it's time to start getting serious about Big 12 football. Who knows what will happen this year. It should be interesting anyway.

10 questions to ponder going into Big 12 Football Media Days | News OK
Ready for football...still over a month to go. :-P
Side note...anyone else crack up with all these "official" threads?
Lord. LOL
Well here is some random banter...

Hey, Venture, are you going to put the word Official in your August weather thread? ;-)
I don't think you guys are taking the officialness of this thread very seriously. Watch out or the topic police will get you...
There is never much real news that comes from Media Days but here is an analysis of OU after their turn today.

This might deserve it's own thread but, in this age of constant hiring and firings of college coaches, this is amazing.
OU football: Bob Stoops' contract extended through 2020 season | News OK
I'll get the conversation going: I think OSU is going to thrash the Big 12 through the air this year. The Pokes this year will be an air raid version of when Pat White was QB at WVU. Both Chelf and Walsh will be excellent (Walsh passes way better than he gets credit, Chelf scrambles a lot better than he gets credit) and the new OC likes mobile QBs.
The Cowboys offensive system, since Zac Robinson QB'd it, has become what OU's was 3-5 years ago. They would have been in more championship games and BCS bowls if they got more respect back then.
Nobody else in the Big 12 looks good, not even TCU which is losing players, even though their D will keep them up at the top. Baylor may be surprisingly good with Seastrunk.
OSU should have been in the championship game two years ago. The 'Bama / LSU "rematch" game was a joke. Pokes got screwed. As for this season, they do seem to have the best team, and OU has to play them in Stillwater. To me the wild card will be whether or not OU makes improvements in its running game, O-line, and defense. If they do, it could be a tossup, but I agree OSU has the edge right now.
The problem with OU lately is a sense of contentment with the Stoops dynasty, and I don't think they can get their edge back until they make a bold move with their program. OSU, Baylor, TCU, K-State, all have new facilities.
Owen Field isn't big enough to be in the same category as DKR or the Horseshoe where it will be a legendary home field no matter what. I would never be enough of a homer to think Boone Pickens will always be an impressive home field without expansion and improvement.
OSU is the hot new car in the garage, and it's an easy sell to the top recruits, especially if they think they would do well in Gundy's air raid system.
Tradition doesn't win recruits. Facilities and current program standing do.
That's pretty cynical for someone who values maintaining tradition so highly. LOL
The first coaches poll is out with 4 Big 12 teams in the top 25. OSU - 14th, Texas - 15th, OU - 16th, and TCU 20th. K State and Baylor also got votes.
K-Stat would be 26th and Baylor 29th.
Also Kendal Thompson fractured his foot today, so he's out of the starting race now.
A commendable comment by TCU coach Gary Patterson about a recent decision by our beloved Les Miles at LSU.
TCU coach Gary Patterson not a fan of LSU voting on discipline - ESPN Dallas
Yeah, so Gary Patterson is just scared. And is he really wanting his name to be involved in a headline about discipline after the last two off-seasons he's endured??
