The end of an interim season is about as sad as it gets in major college football. Senior Day is not just a good-bye to seniors, it's a good-bye across the board.
This disappointment hit a new level on Saturday in Orlando, Fla, but the positive is this team seems determined to fight on for the finale with Iowa State.
You have to love Cowboys like Parker Robertson and Gavin Freeman, love recruits that are still giving the Pokes a chance and one is back on board, and the availability of a coach that might help get those recruits.
An offsides call ruined a potential huge fourth down stop and Oklahoma State going to halftime with a lead in what ended up a 14-6 loss to Kansas State.
Oklahoma State is in Lawrence and ready for the challenge on Saturday, meanwhile there is still lots of talk, local and national on Cowboys coaching search.

I know that sounds crazy, but Bowen has been doing counter intelligence work for Doug Meacham and the offense. Now he's charged with guiding the defense.
