Starting in Arizona with the coaches and athletic directors and running right through last week in Irving, the Big 12 is prepared for 14 members

Oklahoma State now has to wait and watch on Monday to see if winning three games in Arlington at the Big 12 is enough to host a regional. We think it is. Pokes ran out of pitching.

Freshman Ryan Bogusz has been sitting on pitching more for the Cowboys and with eight innings of shutout baseball on Saturday morning against Texas plug him in the rotation.

We all will miss it. The Big 12 Baseball Tournament Moves to Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas this week. Cowboys open with Texas. TCU is the top seed in the Pokes' bracket.

Andy Staples of The Athletic took a path we've taken before with Pokes Report coming up with his research on how much each school has paid for wins in the decade 2010-19. Amazing!

Everybody is speculating, so why not Pokes Report. Our candidates may surprise you.

Several stories this week coming out of Big 12 Basketball Media Days show the feelings are fraying when it comes to Big 12 deserters Texas and Oklahoma.

Oklahoma State has made a habit of winning games in the fourth quarter this season. Saturday at Texas was no accident. Head coach Mike Gundy's plan was to wear the Horns down.

If you're going to be the primary guy that moves the football then you might as well be one of the guys that speaks for the team. Head coach Mike Gundy released Warren's voice at Texas.

One of my f avorite games to watch Spencer Sanders play came in his first season as the starting quarterback. His first start in a Big 12 Conference Game at Texas. Sanders was brave.

It's not enough that you have the best running back or the best defense, but in this day and age of college football you'd better have a team with a clear mind and plenty of positive thinking too. Mike Gundy and Steve Sarkisian agree on that.
