In the blessed AM...
After a three-hour weather delay, Oklahoma State beat Tulsa 59-33, but that's not the kicker in all of this...
The game was scheduled to start shortly after 9PM, but didn't kick off until 12:17AM central time ((1:17 Eastern time)) because of three hours' worth of lightning and strong storms.
The NCAA requires a 30-minute cushion to let lightning clear the area before starting the game, and the teams were almost ready to stop the game period, but went ahead and started and finished in front of a few thousand die-hards...
Which does raise the question about: When is too late actually too late...??? And when do you cancel for the sake of cancelling...???
We've seen the MLB folks know when to put in curfews, but should the NCAA put this stuff in play as well...???

OSU Denying Any 12/10/9 Shenanigans
((HT: KWTX-TV Waco, Newsok.com))
Mike Sherman's Open Mike blog at Newsok.com has the newest angle in all of this eventual Texas A&M moving to the Ess-E-Cee despite protestations of a school (probably Baylor) and possibly the addition of other schools in some nebulous lawsuit that has no bearing and wouldn't hold up in any court of law...
Oklahoma State's Gary Schutt released the following statement... since they played Arizona and he knew everyone was going to ask...
"Speculative reports using unnamed sources implying Oklahoma State University would join others in a lawsuit against the SEC and Texas A&M were incorrect."

We don't care for Justin Bieber, but he's a fan of Mike Gundy
As much as we don't care for the little Australian shrimp, we have to give him some props for this, we actually laughed.
Though The Bieber is only 16, he apparently is somewhat of a Sports fan. He, like oh, so many of us, apparently though the Mike Gundy rant from three years ago, when he shouted during a Press Conference..."I'm a man, I'm 40"...was really funny.
You can see it here as a refresher:
It seems as though Bieber liked it so much, he made it the Ringtone....for his cellphone. Check out this clip, though you'll have to wait through a few minutes of Radio Disney drivel before you get to it:
God bless Mike Gundy, because he appears to have a heck of a good sense of humor. When informed about The Bieber's adulation....he had a response:

Okie State hoops player Darrell Williams facing rape charges...
 |
| Darrell Williams/courtesy: oklahomastate.scout.com |
It's a result of an investigation into a December 13th incident. Newsok.com reports that Williams is accused of raping two women at a private residence near the Oklahoma State campus at what was apparently a party.
More details from newsok.com RIGHT HERE
The first charges could be 1-15 years in jail, the battery charges, a felony, could mean up to 10-years in jail.
There were two others allegedly a part of the original incident, neither were on the basketball team.
Needless to say, Williams may not be available to the 16-7 Cowboys for their next basketball game, though it isn't until February 12th.

Oke State Remembers The Ten
Here's is the half-time ceremony from last night's Oklahoma State-Texas game where the fans at Gallagher-Iba Arena got to hear from Andre Williams, Doug Gottlieb, Eddie Sutton, and Desmond Mason...
It was a time to remember, reminisce, and recall all that was good of those that were lost...
((HT: OSUAthletics))
Texas won 61-46...
Here's coverage from our friends at KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City where the number ten was retired as part of the ceremony...
Marika Lorraine was in Stillwater...
“Very emotional night,” said State coach Travis Ford. “Great night to honor and celebrate people who loved and honored this university.
“I'm disappointed we didn't play better for our fans.”

Broseph's Bits And The Wednesday Gospel
College basketball is a sport that is 40 minutes long with two halves of equal play. Over the span of a game there are always missed FT's and layups/dunks that were blown. The ironic thing about this is that when you gamble it is magnified 4000x. I had a brief moment of elation when I saw this...
:19.7 TCU - Layup by Ronnie Moss
The elation came from the moment I thought that I typed a total of 149 on here for the readers. Obviously, once I went to my post and noticed that it was actually 152, my elation disappeared. Let's analyze these two points a little closer. TCU didn't win with these two points nor did they even cover. Moss didn't hit any sort of performance bonus nor did he impress an NBA draft scout with that hoop. I didn't watch the game so I can't even say if it was pretty or not. It didn't bring forth any fireworks or any sort of bonus for fans in the stands. Some schools give out free hot dogs or tacos if their team scores a certain amount, but this wasn't even a basket by the home team. Now that I realize that my wager was a loss, I could turn to the multiple missed FT's in the last two minutes of the game. Once again, these shots didn't do anything for the BYU or TCU fans in this world, but it would have made me a winner and you the reader a winner as well.
The rational basketball fan would point to the 11 missed FT's that occurred during the whole 40 minutes or the 14 missed shots that the MVP candidate Jimmer Fredette missed. Unfortunately, the warped mind of the gambler only sees that last shot or that last minute's worth of action. People ask me why I gamble and where it came from. I don't actually remember what started the obsession, only that it happened in college. Isn't that where most of our troubles and odd pastimes started? I wasn't one of those kids who didn't get too intense with it until way later in my life. Well...actually it better not be way later because I'm not THAT far out of college. At first it was one or two games here or there and now I'm trying to make a career out of this.
I've heard people ask, what's your handicapping style and why do you pick the games I do. I hope it was people saying it or else I have some vivid and believable voices in my head. I'll admit it now, I'm not one to pour over the trends and statistics that range back to the early 90's. I just don't believe that players who may be on their retirement plans right now have any sort of effect on the outcome of this year's game. I like to look at boxscores and the report's from beat writers who cover the teams. I like to see who is hot and who is not. I lean to the home team a lot, mostly because betting on road teams a lot of times can make my hair turn whiter then it should at the age of 29. I like betting on the smaller conferences because I feel like they have patterns and the cream clearly moves ahead of the rest. Ultimately, I may become one of those guys who scream at you to buy my picks because I'm 76-5-9 against the spread on days ending in "Y." For now, I'm just a guy learning how to master this and I figure I can make some money for the readers as well. Good days and bad days happen in this field. It's how you prevent the bad days from happening back to back to back.
We move on to Wednesday's picks. I went over the card and found about 15-20 leans. These are the ones I feel the strongest about. Naturally I'll say that the ones I didn't post won and some may believe me. Those who don't...well they have a nice future as a human lie detector.
Iowa State/Oklahoma State Over 134.5 -- It's a Big 12 battle on Wednesday when Iowa State hits the road to take on Oklahoma State. The Cyclones are 14-4 this season, but only 1-2 in conference. They are averaging almost 77 points per game while giving up just over 60. Ironically, the team has played just four road games with three of them against slow paced, defensive squads. The one game against a team who didnt mind playing with a pace was Iowa and that turned out to be a 75-72 win. ISU has scored at least 70 points in 13 of their 18 games this season. They are one of a few teams in the country with five double digit scorers on their team. Diante Garrett (17.6 ppg), Scott Christopherson (14.4 ppg), Melvin Ejim (11.8 ppg), Jamie Vanderbeken (11.8 ppg) and Darion Anderson (11.2 ppg) form a good starting five. Oklahoma State meanwhile is 13-4, but also is only 1-2 in conference. They score 70.4 points per game while giving up 64. Marshall Moses (16.4 ppg), Keiton Page (13.9 ppg) and J.P. Olukemi (10.9 ppg) are OSU's main threats this season. They have scored at least 70 points in seven of their last 10 games. This team doesn't mind playing a game with a little pace and someone should be able to hit 70 points. This one is going to go over the total.
Creighton -10 -- It's been a real rough season for Bradley as they are still looking for their first conference victory. The Braves are 6-12, 0-7 in the Missouri Valley. One of the culprits for the struggles could be injuries to forward Taylor Brown and guard Sam Maniscalco. Bradley is on a seven game losing streak. They started out the season 4-0 too, but the injuries hurt their depth. During this losing streak they have scored more then 70 just once. Andrew Warren is charged with keeping the Braves afloat scoring 18.9 points per game while shooting 40.6% from the field. He gets a little help from Dodie Dunson who averages 10.6 points per contest. Creighton meanwhile is 12-7, 4-3 in the MVC. They have a problem scoring, but their defense and homecourt help make the difference. The Bluejays are led by Doug McDermott (13.4 ppg), Antoine Young (12.9 ppg) and Gregory Echenique (11.1 ppg). They'll have a frontcourt advantage with Echenique and Kenny Lawson Jr. who puts up 10.4 points per game. Creighton's been beaten up a bit in their last two games losing by 14 to Wichita State and by 2 at Indiana State. Before that, they won eight of nine games. The Braves shouldn't put up too much of a fight in this game so Creighton will get back on track.
Marshall +11 -- The Thundering Herd renew their rivalry with West Virginia in Charleston on Wednesday night. Marshall has lost five straight in this series, but this could be one of their best teams in awhile. They are 12-5 having won four of their last six games. Last time out, they gave up 77 points to Memphis allowing them to shoot over 50% from the field. Normally, that doesn't happen against this Marshall team. They allow only 65.4 points per contest. Marshall is led by Damier Pitts (15.4 ppg in 8 games), DeAndre Kane (15.1 ppg), Tirrell Baines (12.9 ppg) and Shaquille Johnson (10.4 ppg). They are a deep team with many weapons to throw at their opponents. West Virginia is coming off a nice win at home against Purdue. They are averaging 75.6 points per game. Casey Mitchell (16.7 ppg), Kevin Jones (14.1 ppg) and Darryl Bryant (12.3 ppg) are their main threats this season. Last year, Bryant scored 14 points in a 68-60 Mountaineer win over Marshall. A lot of WVU's wins this season have been close. They beat Vandy by three, DePaul by two, Georgetown by six and Purdue by four. This one is a rivalry game so I'll take the double digit underdog to keep it close.
Charlotte -4.5 -- The Minutemen cannot decide what type of team they are. UMass lost by 29 at Central Connecticut State and 29 at Xavier. In between those games, they defeated Dayton and La Salle at home by single digits. This squad started out the season 7-0, but has lost six of their last nine contests including a few to teams that they had no business losing to. Anthony Gurley is the team's leading scorer averaging almost 20 per game. After him though, the next highest scorer is Javorn Farrell at 9.1 ppg. The inconsistency on the offensive end has been the main reason for their struggles. Meanwhile, Charlotte has actually played better after kicking off their leading scorer Shamari Spears. Now they are a more balanced team with Derrio Green (13.7 ppg), Jamar Briscoe (13.2 ppg) and Chris Braswell (10.1 ppg) leading the way. The 49ers have held home court winning five straight there including a 10 point victory over Fordham last time out. Charlotte's been on the road in four of their last five games and will return to the road for their next two after this one against Duquesne and Temple. A victory here is important and they will get it against an inconsistent UMass squad.

Okie State takes care of business in Alamo Bowl
 |
| Justin Blackmon scores easily/Courtesy: Nate Billings, The Oklahoman |
The Cowboys rolled the Wildcats 36-10 in front of a few odd fans in the Alamo Dome. Those who went to the game, got to see Justin Blackmon put on a show. This years Biletnikoff Award winner caught 9 passes for 117 yards and 2 TD's. As for the 'Cats, they started the year 7-1 and ended 7-6, which is never a good sign.
Your game update from NewsOK.com is RIGHT HERE
Okie State loses their offensive coordinator as of...well, today. Dana Horgelson will be heading to West Virginia and baby sit for a year before taking over for lame duck Bill Stewart. As for Arizona, if Nick Foles sticks around, they'll be decent, but as we've said over and over about the PAC 10/12, they don't necessarily matchup really well with anyone outside their conference.

TWTW: Sooners Survive Bedlam Over OSU
((HT: Newsok.com/Carlson))
Let's face it...
The last four minutes of the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game were the exact personification of the entire series...
No one can stop the other- even if they damn well tried. And when you thought everything was under control, it wasn't.
40 points were scored in the final 15 minutes- including a stretch where 20 points were scored in a minute and thirty-two seconds.
As a result, it means that there's a three-way tie for the Big 12/11/10 South title. When the Bee-Cee-Ess comes out this afternoon, the highest-rated team wins the tiebreaker. In all probability, it means that OU faces Nebraska in the title game in a conference that Nebraska wants nothing to do with after this year.
We once again are showing a bundled-up Jenni Carlson and Jake Trotter to analyze...

TWTW: Oklahoma Sweeps Saturday Over Baylor And Kansas
((HT: newsok.com))
And quite honestly, they should have...
OU has never lost to Baylor in Waco- or any place else for that matter.
They still can say that after the 53-24 win Saturday on the road...
Through three quarters against the Sooners, Baylor had more possessions, 11, than points- 10.
The Sooners scored on eight of their first 12 possessions.
A windy Berry Tramel discusses with Jake Trotter...
OSU had early problems with Kansas, but stuck it to Turner Gill 48-14 by the time it was over with...
It was the first time the program has notched a 10-win season as they head to Bedlam.

They still can say that after the 53-24 win Saturday on the road...
Through three quarters against the Sooners, Baylor had more possessions, 11, than points- 10.
The Sooners scored on eight of their first 12 possessions.

TWTW: Oke State And Sooners Take Out Texas And Tech
((HT: NewsOk.com))
Remember the thoughts we had below about the Big 12/11/10 South...???
Here's your proof...
Who in the blue hell are these Texas Longhorns...??? Garrett Gilbert is having to run for his life- and do it on a weekly basis. There's no offensive firepower and the defense under DC/CIW Will Muschamp is having to rebuild on the fly...
OSU QB Brandon Weeden threw for 409 yards, OSU tailback Kendall Hunter ran for 116 and the Cowboys totaled 532 yards, virtually double what Texas had been allowing in conference play.
The Cowboys win for the first time in Austin since 1944 and hadn't beaten them, in general, since 1997.
You know Baylor is still bowl eligible before Texas is at 4-6...
Berry Tramel and Brandon Chatmon discuss...
Dana Holgorsen had them guessing all day...
Flip side now...
Ryan Broyles caught three of Landry Jones' five TD passes leading the 19th-ranked Sooners to a 45-7 victory against Texas Tech.
Broyles caught eight passes for 119 yards and broke Mark Clayton's career records for receptions and touchdown catches at Oklahoma- now 8-2/4-2 in the Big 12/11/10. He broke his own mark for catches in a season and now holds, pretty much, every receiving record at the school.
Texas Tech, now 5-5/3-5, scored on Detron Lewis' touchdown pass to Darrin Moore out of the "wildcat" formation but then gave up 38 straight.
Jones surpassed 300 yards passing for the seventh time this season, completing 22 of 29 passes for 317 yards.

TWTW: Oklahoma Splits Saturday, State Slows Baylor While OU Loses To A&M
((HT: newsok.com))
Saturday was a weird day for OKlahoma-based football...
First, OSU can win the Big 12/11/10 South Division. They can win the Big 12/11/10 title, and they can go to a BCS bowl.
The Cowboys defense held Robert Griffin to only 267 passing yards. Brandon Weeden lit up Baylor for 435. The team put up a school-record 725 yards. Weeden broke two school records with 34 completions and his passing yardage.
Justin Blackmon, back after a one-game suspension for his DUI coming home from the Cowboys game, had 173 yards receiving, 69 yards rushing and two touchdowns.
Jenni Carlson and Brandon Chatmon analyze the good...
For Oklahoma, they once again started another week by giving up points and an early lead. The HQ was trying to figure out where this particular Texas A&M team came from- scoring 19 unanswered points behind QB Ryan Tannehill's fairly flawless first half.
But, then in the second half, Tannehill became human and the Sooners closed the gap to 19-17. OU tried a fake field goal for the lead, but the pass was dropped in the endzone.
A&M then went down the field to score and put the game out of reach.
Does Bob Stoops realize he, probably, saved Mike Sherman's job for another season...?

TWTW: Oke State Plows Past K-State
((HT: newsok.com))
Oklahoma State outgained Kansas State 511-289, and the largeer question was the idea of a Cowboys offense without WR Justin Blackmon. Blackmon was serving a one-game suspension for alleged drinking and driving shenanigans last MOnday.
All Blackmon was was the nation's leader in receiving yards per game, total receiving yards, scoring and touchdown catches
But after a 7-7 halftime score, OSU QB Brandon Weeden, No. 2 in the nation in yards passing per game, would wrap up 22 of 39 for 298 yards and two TD's. One was to Michael Harrison with a 15-yarder in the second quarter and Josh Cooper in the third quarter. Kendall Hunter ran for 143 yards on 28 carries.

DEVELOPING: Justin Blackmon leading NCAA in Receiving, receives a DUI
 |
| Justin Blackmon's mug shot/Courtesy: carrollton police |
And then there's this. Wide Receiver Justin Blackmon, a potential All-american candidate, leading the NCAA in multiple receiving statistics, was arrested early this morning while speeding through Carrollton, Texas...and charged with DUI. Before you ask, Blackmon was apparently at Jerry World, watching former teammate and current Dallas Cowboy Dez Bryant play on Monday Night Football.
Read more from NewsOK.com RIGHT HERE
This...well, there really isn't anything good that can be said about this. We don't know what Blackmon's status is for the next game...or games. Oklahoma State, for their part, didn't say much, apparently Coach Mike Gundy ducked his media interviews for the day. The school did release a statement, essentially saying...."No comment".
We don't normally hammer on athletes for occasionally making mistakes, because they do happen and since they are athletes, it gets magnified. However, this was just plain stupid. The one question not asked in all of this is where Blackmon got his tickets...or was he on the sidelines?
Either way...big problem, we'll see when, if or how it gets addressed in the next couple of days.
Here's how our friends at KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City addressed it...

TWTW: Oke State Plays Someone, Can't Stop Nebraska
((HT: Newsok.com))
The running opinion on Oklahoma State this year was, "Well, they haven't played anybody, yet... We'll see what happens when they do."
Well, they did...
Taylor Martinez was responsible for five touchdowns through the air ((and a freshman record with 323 yards passing)) and Nebraska took care of the Cowboys rather handily, 51-31...
After a lightning-round of a first half, where Nebraska put up 31 points, the Cowboys couldn't keep up- period...
Guess who gets to regroup now...
Interesting to say that about the former-number 15 team in the country...

TWTW: Oke State Takes Out Lafayette
((HT: newsok.com))
Much to the dismay of Brother Phil's TLB, OSU quarterback Brandon Weeden scored three times in the first nine minutes of the second half in a 54-28 victory over the Ragin' Cajuns.
The 22nd-ranked Cowboys, who are now 5-0, came into the game ranked second nationally in scoring and third in passing offense and total offense.
The HQ will remind everyone to look up who they played- including Tulsa...
Yes, they count...
The Cajuns even scored 21 points in the second quarter to take a 21-17 halftime lead.
"We were definitely in a hornets nest," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "They were full of energy, and their crowd was into it. Everything was playing in their favor."
Weeden threw three of his five touchdown passes in the second half, with two of them coming in the Cowboys' early second-half blitz in their road opener.
Here's a sleepy Berry Tramel and Brandon Chatmon discussing life in the "Stun Belt."
The HQ would like to remind all about the fever of playing on a Friday night in the south. It's like giving a college game a high-school atmosphere- which worked for a while for the Fighting TLB's...
Just not enough firepower...

Sean Sutton Pleads Guilty
((HT: Newsok.com-Helsley))
Former Oklahoma State University head basketball coach Sean Sutton says he is pleading guilty to felony charges accusing him of "obtaining a controlled dangerous substance by fraud, unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance without a prescription, attempted possession of controlled dangerous substances and use of a communications device to facilitate a felony."
Sutton was charged with four felonies after being arrested in February. He was accused of picking up a shipment of painkillers under another person's name.
He spent 115 days in a rehabilitation program in Utah, Cirque Lodge, and he admits that he will continue to keep in touch with his support group. Sutton also says he hopes to return to coaching but it is not his top priority.
Here's the Sutton presser before he faced the music...

Is Oklahoma State On The Verge Of Bolting The Big 12 - 1?
TMZ.com has cited a source within the Oklahoma State athletic department saying that an move by OSU to the Pac 10 is imminent and a done deal. ksbitv.com reported that the OSU athletic department contacted them saying there will be some sort of statement out of the president's office.This is the statement Oklahoma State University released:
"The report circulating about an immediate announcement today concerning Oklahoma State University and conference realignment is without merit. There are no announcements planned by Oklahoma State University. We remain committed to the Big 12 Conference. If there are additional defections, we will have to evaluate our options."
I'm sure there is more to come

Sean Sutton Pleads Not Guilty To Four Felonies
((HT: newsok.com/Estus))
Sean Sutton ((booking photo from Stillwater Jail)) was charged with:
• Obtaining a controlled dangerous substance, oxycodone, by fraud from multiple doctors in August 2009.
• Unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance, oxycodone, without a prescription for having an oxycodone pill in his car when he was pulled over Thursday.
• Attempted possession of controlled dangerous substances, Adderall and clonazapam, without a prescription for attempting to pick up the package of pharmaceutical drugs mailed to him.
• Use of a communication device to commit a felony for using his cell phone to arrange for the delivery of the pharmaceutical drugs.
Here's the list of official charges, thanks again to newsok.com
The former OSU men's hoops coach was not present in court. His attorney, Trace Morgan, entered the plea on Sutton's behalf. Morgan told a judge that Sutton is at a treatment facility in Tulsa.
A preliminary hearing was set for April 5 in Payne County District Court.
According to documents filed this morning, the charges are from Sutton's attempt last week to pick up pharmaceutical drugs mailed to him by a woman he met in rehab last year. Sutton has told state drug enforcement agents that he is battling an addiction to painkillers.
He also told agents he was using the pharmaceutical drugs he attempted to pick up Thursday to help him cease illegal drug use, according to court records.
Sutton remains free on bail and is expected to be arraigned on the charges this afternoon. It is not known whether Sutton will appear in court.
