• Big 12/SEC challenge revealed
• Lon Kruger is not thrilled about Marcus Smart coming back
• Ranking the Big 12 QBs

Joe Randle signs his contract, Justin Blackmon admits his problem, Wes Lunt decides on five schools, and the Arrested Development trailer is pretty spectacular.

Rickie Fowler dressed as Fred Couples, Josh Stewart is better than Hart Lee Dykes (huh?), which freshman will play next year on the football team, and Lunt makes Gundy’s job that much easier.

• Lunt’s HS coach didn’t know he was going to transfer
• OSU has the most complete roster in the Big 12
• Might want to stock up on canned goods
• Big 12 refs are back, guys!

• OSU’s odds to win the Big 12
• Cowboys have one of the greatest college athletes ever
• Champions League in football would be too much

Since Gundy is now taking three questions a day on Twitter “every day for the foreseeable future” I thought I should list the 10 I’d most like to see his answers to¹…

1. What do I have to give you to get one minute of footage of you and Monk at a craps table in Vegas?

2. Will you take a pay cut if the words “Bill Self” are involved?

3. Alex Cate’s father: does he have photos of you or Kristen? Or both?

4. How many times have you wished you had a mulligan on naming your kid “Gunner Gundy”?

5. Have you considered eschewing the porcupine look and reverting to the mop-top of the early 1990s? Why or why not?
