Last week, the Big XII (what remains of it) had their yearly football media soiree. Mack Brown made jokes, Bo Pellini looked pissed, and Bob Stoops said nothing that could not be classified as coachspeak. That, as all who follow the Big XII know, is what is expected. Also par for the course is that OSU has now been put in a tough position by one of their top players.
At that same media function, one of the players representing the Cowboys was defensive end Jamie Blatnick. Assumed, because Coach Gundy selected him as one of two players to put in front of the cameras, is that Blatnick is was expected to be an important cog in what Oklahoma State would accomplish this season. That is probably not the case anymore.
