Oklahoma State (4-2, 1-2 in the Big 12) badly needs a win over Kansas State (2-4, 0-3) Saturday to keep any hopes alive to make the Big 12 championship game. The chances fell dramatically Saturday as the Cowboys fell to Iowa State, 42-48, in Stillwater. That’s the second conference game that OSU has lost at…
Is No. 7 Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray as good as – or even better – than former OU quarterback Baker Mayfield? Murray, who is in top speculations on a Heisman winner, is being compared to Mayfield, the Heisman winner who was the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft and is now the starting quarterback…

A couple weeks ago, my son and I went to the first National Hockey League preseason game to be held at the BOK Center. It was also the first NHL preseason game in Tulsa in 40 years. The Florida Panthers won the game in overtime, 4-3. I thought the turnout was fantastic, as 11,235 fans…
OU linebackers set a new record in number of tackles NORMAN – In a shootout with Baylor last year, OU running back Trey Sermon rushed for 148 yards as the No. 3 Sooners survived, 49-41. Now, with Sermon solidified as the No. 1 running, No. 5 Oklahoma (4-0, 1-0 in the Big 12) will get…
There are at least two reasons why No. 21 Oklahoma State should be motivated to play Kansas Saturday. First, the Cowboys lost their conference opener to Texas Tech, 17-41, last Saturday and that was a critical home game. And secondly, Kansas has already won twice as many games as they did last year. Actually, the…
It was more of the same last Thursday night, as the Tulsa Golden Hurricane lost at Temple, 31-17, in a game filled with mistakes and miscues.

Oklahoma State’s new scoreboard should get a workout Saturday when the high-powered Texas Tech passing attack matches up with OSU’s retooled offense. Texas Tech true freshman Alan Bowman torched Houston Saturday as he threw for 605 yards and five touchdowns. That’s a Big 12 freshman record. And Bowman was named the Walter Camp National Player…
A near upset of Texas in Austin last Saturday may be proof that Tulsa is greatly improved this season. It did show that the Golden Hurricane are more exciting. TU trailed by 21 points at halftime but battled back to come within one score before falling to the Longhorns 21-28 in Austin. “I think we…
