2007 Big 12 Media Days
San Antonio--I'm at the Wyndham-St. Anthony Hotel in downtown San Antonio for this year's Big 12 Football Media Days. A year ago tomorrow this blog was born at last year's Media Days in Kansas City, and it's still alive. Impressive, I know.
Today we'll hear from Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Baylor. It'll be interesting to hear what OU's head coach Bob Stoops has to say about the wiped out 2005 season and its appeal. Luckily, he's up first in about half an hour.
His Sooners are ranked above Texas in Street & Smith's preseason poll as well as Blue Ribbon Yearbook's and Dave Campbell's Texas Football/FSN poll. All the other polls have the Longhorns higher— including one with them at No. 2 (Athlon Sports). Texas's lowest ranking is No. 8 by Street & Smith's and CBS Sportsline.
The Longhorns have several players on the 2007 Preseason All-Big 12 team. I find the exercise of selecting a pre-season team pointless (though its irrelevance pales when compared to preseason offensive and defensive players of the year and a newcomer of the year awards).
But, in case you care. OL Tony Hills, WR Limas Sweed, QB Colt McCoy, RB Jamaal Charles, DL Frank Okam, DL Derek Lokey and DB Marcus Griffin all made the team.
And the preseason offensive player of the year? That'd be McCoy.
