Le'Bryan Nash Earns Big 12 Player Of The Week!

+

The Cowboys split games last week as they continued a winning streak against Top 25 competition against Baylor in Waco, TX, but then inexplicably lost to the lowly Horned Frogs.

Despite the loss though, Cowboy fans have noticed something. Something that's pushing hopes and expectations to a new high for the season...

The emergence of Le'Bryan Nash! Slowly but surely Nash has improved over his four years in Stillwater, but over the last few games Nash has been truly making his presence felt on the hardwood.

The Big 12 has taken notice too, and has awarded Nash, along with KU's Perry Ellis, with Player of the Week honors! It's Nash's first time this season to receive the award, but if he continues to average 6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2 steals, and 20.5 points a game, I have a feeling he'll earn a few more honors before the season is over!

The Big 12 Conference Got Screwed

8

The Big 12 Conference was ranked #1 in ESPN's Conference Power Rankings, but somehow the College Football Playoff Committee left the conference out of the Playoff altogether.

It's ironic that it was the 2011 season that was the driving factor for the #CFBPlayoff, yet now that it's here, the #Big12 is hosed again. Only now, it's two teams getting the shaft. This is much better!

College Football Top 25 Polls - Week 12

With quite a few upsets there's bound to be some shake up. Check out the Coaches Poll, AP Poll, and computer composite polls for this week.

2014 college football rankings, Week 12: Compiling the Top 25's

Missippi State and Florida State retained their spots this week at 1 and 2 respectively, but there are a lot of changes to the top after some big upsets on Saturday.

TCU remains in the top 10, and is the Big 12's highest ranking team, after dominating fellow top 10 team Kansas State. The Wildcats dropped to 13th in both the Coaches and the AP Poll after the loss, and the big win still left TCU on the wrong side of the playoff bubble. The Horned Frogs are ranked 5th in both polls.

Baylor embarrassed OU in Norman, and the bears were rewarded. They check in at 6th in the polls, and unlike TCU, they control their own destiny. Following the loss, Oklahoma was removed from the AP Poll, and dropped to 24th in the Coaches Poll. West Virginia also dropped out of the polls this week after being manhandled by Texas.

What do you think? Should the Big 12 teams be ranked higher? Is the conference getting the shaft?

Joseph Randle's Father Calls Dallas TV Station, "My son is not a thief, okay?"

+

Earlier today it was reported Former Oklahoma State running back Joseph Randle had been arrested for allegedly stealing underwear and cologne from a Dillards department store. In a strange twist Joseph Randle's father called into a Dalla area TV Station to share Randle's side of the story.

"My son is not a thief, okay? He was just trying to get his baby out of there because she was clowning pretty bad. All he was going to do is take ‎the baby out and then he was going to come back and take care of his business," Mr. Randle said in a phone call with News 8 reporter Tanya Eiserer.

WFAA News 8 has more on the story:

Randle's Father's account of the incident doesn't seem to match up with Dillards store employees' accounts nor the police report.

From the WFAA Report: "According to the arrest report, a Dillard's employee told police she watched a suspect - later identified as Randle - on the store's video surveillance system make a purchase at the perfume counter then walk to the underwear section and place a package of underwear in the bag from his previous purchase before walking out to the parking lot without trying to pay."

"There was no mention in the police report of a child with Randle."

"After an officer arrested Randle and began taking the Cowboys player to the Frisco jail for processing, Randle told police without prompting he "should have kept walking to his car if he knew he would be arrested" and that when he saw the security officer he thought, "Alright, y'all got me," according to the arrest report."
