Big 12 Champion Football Game

There may no longer be a Big 12 championship game, but the conference’s championship picture should not be forgotten this championship weekend.

The fate of the Big 12 will be determined between two games with just one guaranteed Bowl Championship Series spot to be filled. No. 6 Oklahoma State (10-1, 7-1 Big 12), No. 9 Baylor (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) and No. 25 Texas (8-3, 7-1 Big 12) all have a chance to lay claim to the Big 12 championship and a trip to a CBS bowl game that goes to the winner! How exciting!


Oklahoma State is the hottest team in the Big 12, and we can't wait to see what they do with the upcoming game.

Baylor Bears Josh Gordon Suspended Indefinitely

Baylor Bears Wide Receiver Josh Gordon was suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules. This is huge for the Baylor Bears. They are expected to have a really good season this year because they return star quarterback and plenty of other starters from a competitive Baylor team last year. Gordon caught 7 touchdowns last year.

Gordon is also a huge NFL prospect. He's 6 foot 4 and weighs 215 pounds. He has the ideal size and weight for an NFL wide receiver. ESPN's Mel Kiper has him rated as the 3rd best junior Wide Receiver in college football.

Gordon was arrested last October when he was found outside a Taco Bell passed out. Marijuana was found in his car, but he did not miss any games for the incident last season. You can imagine that this previous incident had something to do with him being suspended indefinitely.

Oklahoma is the favorite

With yesterdays blog post showing the University of Oklahoma Sooners having the toughest non-conference schedule out of all the Big 12 it means they are looking towards not only a Big 12 title but a national title as well.

With how the idiotic BCS works, it all about strength of schedule, and by having a tough schedule the greater chance you have of going the national championship game.

With the amount of talent the Sooner’s have don’t be surprised if they clean house and win both titles.

That being said, there are many other teams with the potential to destroy Oklahoma’s dream of winning the Big 12 title.

Oklahoma state came close last season, so question can the finally knockoff their rivals.

Texas is the wildcard here. With so much talent, the longhorns are sure to rebound after a disappointing 5-7 season.

Also, Texas A&M was the hottest team in the league at the end of the regular season, but finished the year with a lopsided loss to LSU. Can the Aggies shake it off, as well as the loss of Von Miller, and win their first Big 12 title since 1998.

Oklahoma Sooners

I am back today with the Oklahoma Sooners.

The Oklahoma Sooners football program has been a football powerhouse since their establishment in 1895. The Sooners are thought of as “the most successful program of the modern era.” The Oklahoma Sooners have had 524 wins, a winning percentage of .76, several national championships, 42 conference championships, 149 All-Americans and five Heisman Trophy Winners since 1945. The Sooners also have a total of 22 coaches and players inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and hold the longest winning streak in D1 football history with 47 victories in a row.

Over the decades, the Oklahoma Sooners have been blessed with multiple eras of greatness including, most recently, the Stoops era. In 1999, Bob Stoops was hired as head coach who had proven himself over his 18 years as a player and coach. Stoops immediately went to work in restoring what used to be the Sooner-powerhouse in the conference. In his first years, the Sooners improved dramatically. The Oklahoma Sooners would continue to smash their opponents over the next decade, gaining national titles and Big 12 Championships. The Sooners are hungry for another victorious season and, with Coach Stoops by their side, you better watch out!

The Texas Longhorns could clench a spot in the Big 12 Conference Championship this weekend

The Texas Longhorns take on the Baylor Bears this weekend, and if all of the stars align correctly, they could insure a spot in the 2009 Big 12 Conference Championship Game. For The UT Longhorns to go all the way, they need to beat the Baylor Bears on Saturday AND the Oklahoma State Cowboys need to lose to the Texas Tech Red Raiders, not too out of the question.

Analysts are saying that the hopes of the Texas Longhorns are tied up in Colt McCoy who is also a strong contender for the Heisman Trophy this year. Other players to watch will be Cody Johnson, James Kirkendoll and Nick Florence.

The in-state rivals kick off on Saturday at Floyd Casey Stadium at noon.
