08:19 AM ET 12.11 | Todd Monken became the latest Oklahoma State coach to skip Stillwater for Hattiesburg, which leaves the Cowboys in an awkward spot. [A source] said that Monken will not coach the Cowboys in the Heart of Dallas Bowl on Jan. 1, but instead will immediately start working on building a staff and engaging in recruiting for the Golden Eagles. ... It's not clear how OSU will handle play-calling duties in the bowl game. Mike Gundy has called plays before as head coach, yet hasn't been as involved in game planning since relinquishing those duties following the 2009 season. Other possibilities: offensive line coach Joe Wickline, wide receivers coach Kasey Dunn, inside receivers coach Doug Meacham and running backs coach Jemal Singleton.

Sems to me they are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Logical solution is Gundy(style) calls the plays.

And miss his opportunity to coach in the Heart of Dallas Bowl?
What was he thinking?

The original photo is of Mike Riley- head coach of Oregon State! A slightly different OSU.
Beavers and Cowboys all look alike at 2 am, I guess.

Lotta hand-wringing going on here. At least THIS OSU has a bowl game to go to. <sigh>

Yeah and it makes one wonder about the quality and "seriousness" taken by all these teams in the silly season created by all these funsy wunsy bowl games.

Damn, now the B1G will only lose by 31 against Okie Lite, instead of 45 points. Tough break for the Big XII

Agree, what's the big deal. Coach has 3 weeks to figure it out.

Kind of like having your heart broken over losing in the SECCG and getting your ass handed to you by Utah.

Yes, we'll never get over that one. I guess we'll just have to cry and try to be consoled with 2 conference championships and 2 NCs since then...

I'm not making fun of the deaths. I'm making fun of the callous exploitation of said deaths. So, why shouldn't they still use that excuse?
