Oklahoma St. Dismisses Star RB After Arrest
((ht: espn.com))
Oklahoma State made a quick and decisive decision Friday night, dismissing star Running Back Tyreek Hill shortly after his arrest for domestic abuse late Thursday evening.
Hill stands accused of punching and choking his pregnant girlfriend after an argument at a Stillwater apartment. He was held in jail Thursday night before being released on a $15,000 bond.
Hill, a junior was the Big 12 "Newcomer of the Year" after accounting for over 1,800 yards of total offense for the Cowboys this past season including 3 TD's on kick returns alone. He was also a member of the schools track team, which he also cut him loose.
And this past week, he was named "All Big 12" after his heroic 92-yard punt return late in the 4th quarter tied the "Bedlam" game vs. Oklahoma, a game the Cowboys would win by an overtime field goal.
KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City provides a statement from Oklahoma State:
“Oklahoma State University does not tolerate domestic abuse or violence. Based on the evidence and the serious allegations that have been made, Head Football Coach Mike Gundy has announced that Tyreek Hill has been dismissed from the OSU football team. He also has been dismissed from the track team. The allegations are under investigation by Stillwater Police and by the OSU Office of Student Conduct. Those processes will proceed independently,”: Gary Shutt, OSU’s communications officer.

That Was A Close One For #1 Florida State, Survive Over Against Oklahoma State 37-31
The opening game in college football is always a crap shoot. No pre-season, no scrimmages against another team. You start in the heat of battle.
Florida State was invincible last year on their way to a BCS national championship but 2014 is another story.
An inspired Oklahoma State team gave the Seminoles all they could handle but FSU prevailed 37-31.
Florida State is still a work in progress and that's not necessarily a bad thing when you can overcome adversity.
"We understand how to win games, and we're doing a good job" Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher said. ." I'm proud of them for doing that."
"Oklahoma State was outstanding out there." Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston said. "You know, they played hard. They never gave up. They never gave up."
“This team won’t back down from anybody,” Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy said.
And the Pokes didn't back down on the Seminoles.
Oklahoma State's J.W. Walsh was outstanding throwing for 203 yards and a touchdown and leading the Cowboys is rushing with 51 yards.
Most importantly Oklahoma State didn't fold in the spotlight on national TV after spotting Florida State with 17 unanswered points early in the game.
“We feel good about where we’re at,” Walsh said. “We’re upset about the loss, but going into film tomorrow, there’s going to be a lot of good things to build on.”

"I thought they (Oklahoma State) did a heck of a job." Fisher said. " I told you Mike has a got a good football team, and he's a heck of a football coach."
Jameis Winston finished the game completing 25 of 40 passes for 370 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. They weren't the gaudy numbers Winston put up in his season opener last year at Pittsburgh but his 28 yard touchdown run late in the third quarter will be stored in the memory banks.
It was also the longest run in Winston's career.
With the college football playoff a reality this is the first example of survive and advance in college football.

Smart Gets Three Games For Incident, Superfan Done For Year...
((HT: CBSSports))
Marcus Smart got three games worth of suspension for his response to Texas Tech fan Jeff Orr the other night...
Orr says he didn't use a racial slur in the incident. Smart maintains Orr did... but Orr also says he will not go to any more Red Raiders games this season...
He volunteered that he said something he shouldn't have to the OSU forward and he also was the one who decided not to attend anymore games in the 13-14 season... kind of a self-imposed punishment...
The HQ does wonder how big a booster he is, though...
Doug Gottlieb, via his Twitter, revealed a conversation Orr had with a friend of his
saying it got out of control (pictured right from Gottlieb)
"I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincere apologies to Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State, Tubby Smith and the Texas Tech Men's Basketball program. My actions last night were inappropriate and do not reflect myself or Texas Tech - a university I love dearly.
I regret calling Mr. Smart a 'piece of crap' but I want to make it known that I did not use a racial slur of any kind. Additionally, I would like to offer my apologies to Texas Tech fans that have been embarrassed by the attention this incident has created."
But, it wasn't the first time, Orr has been caught on tape responding for his Raiders the way he has...
Go all the way to the end of the video...
It's a very superfannish reaction...
((HT: ESPN2))
But, it was time for Smart and the school to address the issue- any internal discipline will come from coach Travis Ford. Smart wouldn't answer questions, but did offer this to start:
"I want to apologize to the fan, whose name is Jeff Orr, I want to apologize to him, my teammates, my coach. This is not how I condone msyelf. I just can't let that happen again. It's a lesson I'll have to learn from; it's all on me. I truly apologize to all those that are important to me. I feel I let my teammates down."
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby released this statement from the league office:
"Mr. Smart's actions were a clear violation of the Big 12 Conference's Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct Policy. Such behavior has no place in athletics, and will not be tolerated. I appreciate the efforts of Oklahoma State University athletics director Mike Holder in addressing this matter, and believe this is an appropriate response to an inappropriate action."

College Hoops: Marcus Smart Shoves Fan During Game
Most of you sports fans are probably waking up to the news a college basketball player shoved a fan during a game last night.
That player, Marcus Smart, the best player for the Oklahoma State Cowboys has been raising a lot of eyebrows the past few weeks showing frustration and anger quite frequently on the court.
That frustration hit a crescendo Saturday night in Lubbock, Texas when the Cowboys squared off with Texas Tech.
Tech was in the process of beating the 19th ranked Cowboys, when Smart found himself landing in the crowd after blocking a shot late in the game. He got up, found himself in front of self proclaimed Tech superfan Jeff Orr.
If you watch the video closely, some words were exchanged and Smart shoves Orr and then runs back out onto the court.
Note--In no way, shape or form are we condoning Smarts actions...but. After the game, several people reported that Orr may have uttered a racial slur at Smart. And while that doesn't justify the reaction, it might at least give it some context.
Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford had no comment about the incident, Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith said that his back was turned away from it and didn't see it. The Big 12 office has already opened an investigation.

ICYMI: Mizzou Squeezes Past Okie State in Cotton Bowl
If you weren't at home in front of your TV Friday night, you missed some pretty good big-boy College Football.
That includes the Cotton Bowl where Missouri scored 14 points in the last 3:08 of the game to beat a game Oklahoma State squad 41-31.
The star of the game: Missouri RB Henry Josey, who only rushed for 91 yards, but he scored 3 TD's. The last being at the 3:08 mark in the game, giving Missouri the lead. A lead they would grow just a minute left in the game..
That's when star Defensive End Michael Sam stopped a potential game winning drive by Okie State. Sam sacked Cowboy's QB Clint Chelf in scoring range. Chelf fumbled the ball. The fumble was scooped up by Shane Ray who took it back 73 yards and a touchdown.
The win finished a very successful season for the Tigers, who won the SEC East title before losing to Auburn in the SEC Championship game.

Reality Check: Baylor Humbled By Okie State
So much for the BCS bound Baylor Bears.
Baylor ran into a buzz saw Saturday night in Stillwater, Oklahoma and walked away losers after Oklahoma State dropped a 49-17 smack down on them.
And no, the game was never that close.
The Cowboys rode 370 yards passing and 3 TD's by QB Clint Chelf and stout defense that created 3 turnovers to hand Baylor the loss.
The Bears came in neck-and-neck with Ohio State for the #3 spot in the BCS and were a heavy favorite in the game despite Okie State only having one loss.
The win puts the Cowboys in the drivers seat to get to the Big 12 Championship game. Win that and they'll be the team playing in a BCS bowl game.

Oklahoma State Bad News For The #3 Baylor Bears, Cowboys win 49-17
Lets see how many college football fans drop off the Baylor Bears bandwagon now.
Oklahoma State's 49-17 win over #3 Baylor have killed Baylor's chances to win a BCS National Champion.
(Thanks Newsok.com)
Cowboy quarterback Clint Chelf assured it would be a long night in Stillwater for the Bears. Chelf threw for a career high 370 yards and three touchdowns and even rushed for a touchdown too.
“I'm happy with the groove he's in." Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy was quoted in Daily Oklahoman. "We just want to let him keep going.”
The Cowboy defense held the potent Bear offense to just 453 yards of total offense. We say just 453 yards because Baylor's offense averaged 684.4 yards per game.
“Oklahoma State played extremely well and had a lot of energy and made plays when they needed them,” Baylor head coach Art Briles said. “We did things you can’t do at home or on the road, and you dang sure can’t do them against a good team on the road. They’re a good football team, and that’s why you had the outcome that happened tonight.”
“This loss won’t define our team,” Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty said.
Petty had career highs in had career highs in passing attempts (48) and completions (28) for 359 yards and two touchdowns but is wasn't enough.
“This is a great team, a special team." Petty said. "But us not finishing drives wasn’t fair to our defense, and that’s on my shoulders. I have the ball on every play, and I have to execute.”
Baylor has TCU at Ft. Worth next week before closing the season at home against Texas.Oklahoma State has a week off before taking on Oklahoma December 7th in another edition of the Bedlam game.

OSG College Football Crystal Ball Part 2
Eastern
Kentucky at #8 Louisville
What does Louisville head coach Charlie Strong think of
Eastern Kentucky?
“It’s a solid football team.”
The Colonels did whip Robert Morris 38-6 last week. Expect EKU to take the six figure check from
Louisville and take a whoppin’ themselves
Louisville 55, Eastern Kentucky 3
UAB at
#9 LSU
13 years ago the Blazers defeated the Tigers 13-10. No way in hell that happens again.

Florida at Miami
Al Golden is yet to have a signature win during his tenure
at Miami. Saturday is the Hurricanes
chance to make a statement and provide the benchmark win for Golden.
“It’s obviously a big game, but worrying about anything on
the outside is not going to change what happens in between the lines.” Golden
said.
A ton of Hurricane recruits will be in Sun Life Stadium too
and Golden would like to make an impression on their young minds.
Florida head coach Will Muschamp also wants to leave a mark
on South Florida.
“They have
players every year, you take Broward and Dade county, those two alone, the
number of players that sign out of there every year.”
So instead of the Seminole War Canoe the two teams
played for annually until 1987 the Gators and Hurricanes play to impress high
school players.
It will be a close on but the “Canes prevail.
Miami 31, Florida 28
#13 Oklahoma State at Texas-San
Antonio
When Mike Gundy was the quarterback for the Oklahoma
State Cowboys Larry Coker was his offensive coordinator.
“I have always enjoyed being around Coach” Gundy said.
“As a player, I enjoyed his approach to certain plays. He kept the game
simple and as a player I really enjoyed that."
“Mike has done a great job there.” UTSA head coach
Larry Coker said. “He was a very smart player and tremendously competitive. He
was a playmaker when there weren’t plays to be made. He was an outstanding player.
He’s very confident and you can see that in their team now.”
Oklahoma State is in San Antonio for two reasons, get a
win and impress recruits in Southwest Texas.
“They do a great job at recruiting Texas and I think
they want to continue that.” Coker said.
The Cowboys will do both.
Oklahoma State 49, UTSA 6
#14 Notre Dame at #17 Michigan
“It's
a great and historic rivalry that we'll be playing this Saturday, so let's get
that out of the way right away so we don't have to answer any more questions
about this rivalry.” Notre Dame
head coach Brian Kelley said.
Sounds
like the Notre Dame head coach is bored with the rivalry with Michigan.
Michigan
head coach Brady Hoke understands the whole nation watches this one.
“….it must have some
sort of national appeal.” Hoke said. “ Coaching in a lot of places, and maybe
it's just me, but I know that whenever Michigan and Notre Dame was on TV, I was
going to be watching it. I know people in Corvallis, Ore., were going to be
watching it.”
And
those people in Corvallis should see a Michigan win.
Michigan
21, Notre Dame 17
#15 Texas at BYU
I
bet you didn’t know this, BYU has a 2-1 edge in the series. The last time the “Horns played the Cougars
in Provo they lost.
“I
think it's a unique place.” Texas head coach Mack Brown said.
Yes
it is coach Brown but Longhorn nation should like the result.

Father Allegedly Beats Son Over Bedlam Allegiance
((HT: KFOR-TV))
The HQ knows all about Bedlam...
We know about rivalries, what they mean, and how they effect families- even cutting them in pieces. You've all seen the license plates about houses divided and all that stuff...
We now have our extreme example as to what rivalries mean... and this one is pretty extreme...
A 41-year-old father from a town outside Stillwater, Oklahoma is accused of beating his 9-year-old son because his son liked Oklahoma and the Sooners, not sharing the father's allegiance to OSU...
Awesome...
Here's their coverage from a small town...
Apparently, this wasn't the first time this may have happened, either...
Even more awesome...
The HQ thinks that this father, when behind bars, will make new friends very quickly...
And not in a good way...

Bedlam Was Exactly That...
((HT: newsok.com))
Oklahoma had three receivers go over 100 yards receiving and Landry Jones (in all his reported gimpyness) threw for 500 yards...
The Sooners needed all of those yards in a 51-48 overtime win...
Damon Fontenot was there and bundled up...
Oklahoma’s offense totalled 618 total yards and 44 first downs — second-most in NCAA history for a game.
Oklahoma can get the Big 12/10 championship, but they need a win next Saturday at TCU and Kansas State has to lose at home to Texas.
If both teams win, they’ll share the Big 12 title. But Kansas State will earn the Fiesta Bowl berth because of their 24-19 win at Oklahoma on September 22nd.

TWTW: The Good And Bad In Savannah... Georgia Southern and Savannah State
((HT: TheCoastalSource))
First, Jacksonville University seems to have fallen off the map in the Pioneer Football League even with Kerwin Bell still around...
His trademark high-powered offense wasn't all that high-powered in a 58-0 loss to Georgia Southern...
And, there really needs to be a mercy rule or some kind of equivalent in college football... the HQ saw that the Vegas number (probably "offshore number" is more accurate) was 67 to 67.5 for Oklahoma State against D2 Savannah State.
The Cowboys cleared that number and the Tigers got a paycheck...
Or, at least, the HQ hopes they did...
Jenni Carlson talks about the new records set for points in a game and largest margin of victory...

Cowgirls Win WNIT Over James Madison
((HT: Newsok.com))
With everything Oklahoma State's women's hoops program has been through this season, there were a lot of people ((HQ included)) that weren't necessarily rooting against James Madison in their game against OSU, but were rooting for the Cowgirls to win their last game of the year.
And in a game where OSU led by as many as 17, they got their title with the win over the Dukes. The widow of head coach Kurt Budke, Shelley, was given the honor of cutting down the last part of the net in their 75-68 win.
Damon Fontenot was at Gallagher-Iba...
Gina Mizell's must-read piece gave some insights from coach Jim Littell about how players went back to ideas that gave the players comfort in a time of great mourning and the team felt the presence of coach Budke and coach Miranda Serna.
Congrats to every one in Stillwater...

Gina Mizell's must-read piece gave some insights from coach Jim Littell about how players went back to ideas that gave the players comfort in a time of great mourning and the team felt the presence of coach Budke and coach Miranda Serna.
Congrats to every one in Stillwater...

Fans hurt storming Oklahoma State field
College football fans can be idiots sometimes.
 |
| Fans storm field |
It's the only logical reason why 13-plus people were injured, 2 critically when students and fans at Oklahoma State stormed the field late Saturday night after their Cowboys beat the University of Oklahoma 44-10.
And yes, we know the game is called "Bedlam". It's not a good excuse.
Fans were trampled, and at least one person fell 15 feet onto a concrete slab. They tore down the goalposts and you can see people dangling from those goalposts as they are carted through the stadium.
At least 9 ambulances were called to the scene and it took police nearly an hour to clear the field.
KJRH-TV in Tulsa has video of what happened:
Sorry, we know college students and college football fans can be idiots and do stupid things (like storm fields), but there is no excuse for this. This is why there needs to be either a) better security at games or a b) a bigger separation between fans and the fields to where they just can't hop over.
It sounds like they were not prepared for the mess in Stillwater and it showed. It also showed the fans have a long way to go to prove they belong with the "Big Boys".
Okie State wins: Let the arguments begin
It's already started.
And it is unfortunate, because if big-time college football was like any other sport, it would get settled "On-The-Field".
Oklahoma State made their statement for playing in the BCS Championship Game (it's not a "true" national championship) by pounding their arch-rivals Oklahoma 44-10.
The Cowboys scored at will against the injury ravaged Sooners and made the best statement they could to be ranked #2.
But will it be enough?
We'll never "Truly" know because most writers and experts have already proclaimed Alabama #2 and worthy of a BCS title rematch vs. LSU.
And they'll most likely get it.
Without getting into details of the Cowboys convincing win, most now just want to debate the merits of who will be #2. (sounds like a potty joke--doesn't it?) Early this past week Okie State coach Mike Gundy said "Alabama deserves to be #2". He's now saying "What would you rather see? A 9-6 game or a 39-36 game?".
Great, except Gundy is assuming he could get his team 36 points vs. LSU.
Not likely to happen.
As much as we are based in SEC territory and you can make a pretty good argument that Alabama should be #2, we'd like to see Okie State get the opportunity. We've seen Alabama vs. LSU and while ungodly physical, by and large, it was ugly football.
And after seeing LSU in person last night. We've no reason to believe that the follow up game would be any prettier. LSU's offense is not good. Neither is Alabama's. But...it's defense that makes the difference.
This is the argument and a prime example of why the BCS is inanely stupid. It is incredibly biased and tilted. The "Computer" ratings they use are a secret that they refuse to share. But we are expected to buy them as total and complete fact.
Let's hope that whomever gets passed up here makes a strong enough argument to make the BCS go away. It exists only to benefit the people making a profit off of it. The Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC, ACC and Big East Commissioners and AD's.
Okay, I'll stop ranting on the idiocy and congratulate Oklahoma State for winning. It's unfortunate that the loss to Iowa State will probably cost them a shot at the BCS (not national) title.

Cowgirls Win First Game Back Since Crash
In Stillwater, Oklahoma the Oklahoma State women's basketball team won their first game played since the plane crash that took the lives of head coach Kurt Budke and assistant Miranda Serna...
It was a 59-35 final over Coppin State...
“It's OK to smile. It's OK to laugh out there. It's OK to show positive emotion,” interim coach Jim Littell said this week. “That is not disrespectful.
“That's the way Coach Serna and Coach Budke really wanted it.”

So goes that idea: Okie State beaten by Iowa State
In a lot of ways, the beauty of college football is just when you think things are going in one direction, they change direction.
Most everyone, us included thought it was a foregone conclusion that Oklahoma State would be undefeated heading into Bedlam against Oklahoma.
Not now.
That's because Iowa State took advantage of 5 Cowboy turnovers and a few lucky breaks to beat Oklahoma State 37-31 in 2 overtimes.
SI.com gives us Highlights: (Thanks sportsillustrated):
The loss moves the Cowboys to 10-1 overall and will knock them off their #2 ranking and basically eliminate them from a potential BCS Championship game.
For Iowa State it was their first win over a Top 5 team....ever. And the win makes them Bowl Eligible.
Here is Cyclone coach Paul Rhodes speaking to his players after the game: (Thanks Cyclones.com):
What this does is essentially set-up a LSU/Alabama rematch in the BCS title game....
Unless, college football does what it often does, and provide us with another couple of upsets before seasons end. And while Alabama is not likely to lose this week to Georgia Southern, LSU still has to play Ole Miss and Arkansas before their season ends.
To quote the great Yogi Berra--"It ain't over, til it's over".

Cyclone Shocker, Iowa State Upsets Oklahoma State
It's the biggest win in Iowa State history. The Cyclones had never defeated a team ranked in the top 5 until Friday night.
Backup running back Jeff Woody ran into the end zone from four yards out in the second overtime to seal the Cyclone win 37-31.
Here are the highlights. (Thanks Iowa State Video Services)
Not only was this a monumental win for Iowa State it was also the Cyclones sixth win. A heck of a way to be bowl eligible. Here's Iowa State head coach Paul Rhodes' post game locker room address to the team.

Paul Rhodes' post game press conference.
Friday was a surreal day in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The day began with the tragic deaths of Cowgirl head basketball coach Kirk Budke and assistant coach Miranda Serna in a plane crash in Perry County, Arkansas. The Oklahoma State football played their game against Iowa State but couldn't overcome a determined Cyclone team.
"For me to say it wasn't a strange day would be .... leading everyone astray," Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy was quoted in the Tulsa World. "This team has handled a lot of different situations, but we just didn't play well."
