🎙️ Pete Mundo of Heartland Sports and I talked about whether Texas Tech could become Oklahoma State's next great rivalry. Listen/watch here:
[LINK]
Winning will create excitement under any circumstance. But with OU in the SEC, I think Oklahoma State needs a rivalry that fans can truly love to hate.

And this may be an unpopular take, but I think the most natural candidate is Texas Tech.

First, whether we like how they've done it or not, Texas Tech is going to continue to be a contender. So when OSU plays Tech, if the Cowboys are good, there's a very real chance BIG stakes will be on the line.

And honestly, the two schools have a lot in common. Similar histories. Similar fan bases. Similar chips on their shoulders. And I think there's just enough there for each side to genuinely be annoyed by the other.

This year, as Pete points out, if the OSU-Texas Tech game means something in November, that will mean Oklahoma State has had a GREAT season to that point and has put itself in position to knock the doors down.

Now, I fully understand that I just presented a whole bunch of IFs. And for plenty of OSU fans, this may sound pretty far-fetched right now.

But that's also what makes it fun.

Maybe Texas Tech becomes the team Oklahoma State fans love to hate.

Maybe this game eventually means something every November.

And hey...

A man can dream, RIGHT?

Oklahoma State Needs a New Rival — Is It Texas Tech?
🔥 Jeff Johnson of OState Illustrated is SPITTIN’ FAX! 🔥

This staff has ALWAYS found players who fit a certain mold — then developed them into stars in their system.

Caleb Hawkins is the PERFECT example.

Jeff explains how Hawkins didn’t have ONE P4 OFFER. NOT ONE.

Coach Cobbs saw what he wanted. Coach Morris trusted his staff.

And VOILA… Hawkins enters his TRUE sophomore season being talked about as one of the BEST backs in ALL of college football.

🎙️ Hear the full conversation with Jeff Johnson:
[PASTE PODCAST LINK HERE]
And this is just ONE of the topics Jeff breaks down.

He takes you through the position battles, concerns, lack of concerns, and what he REALLY thinks about this Oklahoma State team.

And trust me… Jeff is ANYTHING but a sunshine pumper. 😂

You’re getting a straight-up, non-sugar-coated evaluation.

Hopefully, this is the first of MANY collaborations.

Until then, head over to OState Illustrated and get your subscription while the Fall discount is still available.

Jeff Johnson: Oklahoma State’s Secret to Finding & Developing Future Stars
Who do you think are the best teams in the Big 12? Where would you rank OSU in the conference?

Jake Hatch of Locked on Cougars is VERY dialed in on all things Big 12 and highlights the rosters of his contenders while giving you his thoughts on who he thinks is the “cream of the crop.”

Who Are the Best Teams in the Big 12?
🎙️ THE ROUNDUP IS BACK!

Pete Mundo of Heartland Sports joined O-State Daily to break down the Big 12 and give his thoughts on the teams he believes are the best in the conference.

We talk Big 12 contenders, Oklahoma State, conference expectations, and who has a legitimate shot at making a run.

Who does Pete have at the top? Who is overrated?👀

Pete Mundo Ranks the BEST Teams in the Big 12
Marilyn...AKA "Mama Middlebrook" is retiring after more than 30 years of incredible service to OSU. Don't believe me, just listen to the folks she helped over the years. 

Job well done, "Mama Middlebrook." Be proud knowing that you changed, if not saved, too many lives to count. You will be missed! #GoPokes #OkState
Mama Middlebrook is RETIRING After 30 GREAT Years of Service
Jeff Johnson of OState Illustrated and On3 takes you through the recruiting class for OSU for 2027.

🎙️ Listen to the full conversation: https://youtu.be/uF1okAM2R6I

It's not highly rated, no question, but again, these coaches know exactly what they are looking for, and they're gonna find it. And they will not care what the rankings say.

And, as Jeff says, the more "on the field" evidence they can get, the easier it will become.

Another piece to this equation is that this staff had to go portal-heavy to build this roster, so high school recruiting hasn't been at the top of the focus tree. But as the program gets more established, I think we're gonna see that pendulum swing more and more to the high school side.

And that's really when you'll see the rankings match the play on the field.

Jeff Johnson Talks Recruiting!
Jake Hatch of Locked on Cougars takes you through why he thinks that not only is the Big 12 powerful enough to survive conference realignment, but that it might actually become more powerful if the negotiations for the next media deal go the way they need to.

🎙️ Listen to the full conversation: https://youtu.be/k5Mc3eWG5YM

As he points out, the Big 12 will be going to market roughly five years before the ACC, and may actually go to market twice before the ACC has to redo its deal. If the Big 12 gets what it wants, the ACC teams that might want to leave would see that and want greener pastures.

Likely not in the Big 12, but certainly in the B1G and SEC. And at that point, the ball drops.

The remainder of the ACC teams will be looking for homes, and either they'll join the Big 12, or the whole thing gets blown up and we go to the Super Conference that a lot of people think is a possibility.

Of course, these are ALL hypotheticals, so leave your thoughts.

The Big 12's Next Media Deal Could Change Everything
Jeff Johnson of OState Illustrated joined and broke down the 2027 recruiting class and explained how fit will likely be more important than rankings for this staff.

Jeff and the On3 folks are, IMO, the best in the business at recruiting, and they are a one-stop shop for me.

Jeff also goes into great detail about what he's seen and heard about Fall camp, he gives his thoughts on position battles, and his predictions on the record, and overall how this team will do. 

Jeff did a really awesome job on this video, so hope you check it out, and hope you head on over to On3 and subscribe. They have had a big Fall discount that's about to run out, so get it while you can. #GoPokes #OkState
OSU Recruiting & Fall Camp Observations | Jeff Johnson of On3
🔥Ike Jackson Exclusive Interview🔥
🎥https://youtu.be/niSjIgf01cs

Jackson was a quarterback in the early '80s, and he tells a story that is absolutely worth your time to check out.

Being an African American quarterback — especially a non-wishbone quarterback — wasn't really a thing at that point in the evolution of football. So Ike was fighting a barrier, and TBH, a stereotype as well.

He played with some of the greatest players to ever play at OSU, but the offense under Jimmy Johnson was pretty run-heavy, and Ike never really had the length of playing time he needed to let the game slow down for him at the D1 level.

He had a LOT of great moments, particularly in '82, and eventually transferred to Cameron to finish out his career.

I'm gonna say this point blank, and this is my opinion, so play the disclaimer: Ike could have easily walked away from OSU with a different attitude towards OSU than he has. Not that his experience was bad — he goes into detail about that in the interview — but things weren't always perfect.

Through all of that, Ike has always been very vocal about how much he loves OSU, and he continues to promote his alma mater.

In fact, being from Ft. Smith, it was just natural that he helped with the evaluation and recruitment of Chris Massey when Massey was being recruited out of Spiro.

Much respect, Ike. Awesome job on this feature, and thanks for joining.
