This is one of the quietest fall camps I can remember for an instate team ranked in the top 10 to start the season. Â The Cowboys haven’t been front and center on ESPN, they haven’t had any major injury news and they haven’t been fighting eligibility problems. Â It seems all of the attention has been focused on the No. 1 team that resides only a short drive south down I-35. Â While the Cowboys could get jealous or attempt to make some noise of their own, they are quietly preparing for another strong campaign in 2011.
So what are a few of the bigger story lines coming out OSU’s fall camp?
1)Boone Pickens advises Texas A&M to stay in the Big 12
2)Coach Gundy misses OSU’s fan day
3)Weeden2Blackmon-taking social media by storm
Coach Gundy can just sit back and relax as he watches the three ring circus that is college football news right now. Â There should be a confidence knowing that his team is quietly preparing to make headlines on the field this fall. Â The Cowboys are really in a good place, being ranked in the top 10 but not having to deal with all of the media scrutiny that typically follows. Â So far this fall Stillwater has been quiet. Â The Cowboys have been practicing and staying healthy and the biggest news right now is player development. Â They need to enjoy it while they can. Â We’re only 10 days away from seeing what kind of noise they can make on the field this year. Â I have a feeling it won’t be so quiet this time next month in Stillwater.
