Social Media, the World shrinking has changed the way players are in these modern days of football. They still want to win, but it isn't because you "hate" those other guys.

A four-star Cowboy recruit that hasn't been able to show much due to injuries showed all of us what we've been missing in the loss at Kansas. Welcome back Langston Anderson!

It wasn't encouraging when the head coach used the word "tired" and we know the injuries have had an impact, but none of that matters. You have to stop the run,

It may have started with a quarterback decision, but it was doomed by Kansas running up and down the field for over 350-yards.

Kansas is a lot better and could be even more enthused with their starting quarterback Jalon Daniels back, while Oklahoma State may have some quarterback uncertainty.

Midway through back-to-back trips to the "Sunshine State" and the Cowboys saw sunshine but next Saturday in predicted rainy weather would like to leave with a better feeling.

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy is looking to get his football team back on track after the blowout loss at K-State, but took time out to give props to the new Big 12 commissioner on a job well done.

The first tendency is to completely blame and (on social media) attack Oklahoma State coaches and players. The smart thing to do is study and learn how K-State planned and executed.

The product on the field is the product of Cowboy culture. It has come a long way in Mike Gundy's 17-years plus tenure. It will be tested this Saturday like it always is against a similar culture.

Oklahoma State got beat up the first half by All-American running back Bijan Robinson and the Texas version of counter. Halftime adjustments helped and the Cowboys will see more of the same at Kansas State.

Oklahoma State was the higher-ranked team, but the underdog in the game playing with a quarterback fighting through injuries and all kinds of adversity. As Dave Hunziker said at the end on the radio, "the winning culture won the game and the other culture did not."

Cowboys move on to work to defend an explosive Texas run offense and attack a Gary Patterson influenced defense.

Oklahoma State is seeing it's run game production drop by play and by game and it allows defenses to mess with Spencer Sanders and the entire offense. It needs to pick up.

The plan was out there. Oklahoma State did not want to be big played by the TCU offense as they had done to the previous five opponents. In the end, the Cowboys paid as TCU ran.

Mike Gundy met with the media following the Pokes' 43-40 2OT loss to TCU.

Unbeaten Cowboys staying in historic Downtown Hilton and resting to get ready to battle unbeaten Horned Frogs. Gundy talks match-up.

Gundy says he still feels the anticipation before a match-up of top-ranked teams like the game this week at Amon Carter Stadium between the Cowboys and the Frogs.

For the third week in a row Oklahoma State will face a potnetially explosive and at the same time very athletic quarterback. The question begs are Big 12 defenses, like Oklahoma State struggling or are they seeing better arms.
