Late Friday morning Wade Deisman was in his home in White Rock, B.C, when he heard some barking and figured his neighbours must have gotten a new puppy.
Deisman, an associate dean at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, had moved to the Metro Vancouver suburb near the U.S. border in October from Abbotsford.
The barking was new, but he didn t think anything of it. Until he heard it again, and again, into the next morning. I thought, well geez it sounds like the puppy s having a hard time, he said. It s good to have a puppy but you have to take care of the puppy.

Author’s note: It’s my first week taking over the power rankings after Tim Everson left to take over as sports editor of the Junction City Daily Union (congrats Tim!) so I figure you’re owed a bit of an introduction. Presumably my goals are the same, to let you know how the Big 12 teams should be ranked right now, which means some recency bias. One thing I believe is worth noting: My rankings will consider road wins no more impressive than home wins because of the pandemic. Big 12 teams this season are 27-25 on the road in conference play. To put that in context: Big 12 teams haven’t won more than 32 road games out of 90 in each of the past three seasons. Anyway, on to the rankings.

Before we get started we’d like to note that, as he himself mentioned, yesterday’s power rankings and Slate mark the end of Tim Everson’s all-too-brief tenure here at BotC as he moves on to take over as sports editor at the Junction City Daily Union. We’re always justifiably proud when one of our staffers leaves for a full-time job in the sports media world, and this one makes us smile even more as it marks the
second time a BotC staffer has taken over at the DU (the first being Derek Moeller-Smith, of course). Our fondest wishes to Tim, who’ll always be a part of our family here.
