Doomed to attend K-State in the years which directly led to the hiring of Bill Snyder, Jon joined the BotC staff in 2010 and provides national coverage and commentary. In addition to his beloved 'Cats, Jon is also a champion of small college athletics, and blogs about them at Those Other Guys. He's trapped in Oklahoma with his cats and his daughter, and one day hopes to dig his way to freedom.
The Sooners teed off in the first inning, and Matt Oberste later racked up four RBI to lead Oklahoma to the Big 12 Championship title over the Kansas Jayhawks.
K-State rallied to take Oklahoma to extra innings, and then the teams really started scrapping. For once, though, the Cats couldn't pull off the win, and they'll now wait for their NCAA destination.
Tim Proudfoot went 3-4 with 5 RBI and Jonny Drozd threw four innings of scoreless relief to give Texas Tech the win over Baylor in the season finale for both teams.
Five teams are still alive. Three will die today, and at least four will be playing their final game of 2013. K-State is not one of those four, regardless of today's outcome.
