Big news today.
Really excited to announce that I am joining the @cbssports team as their new lead golf writer/blogger at the end of this month.

Wish I knew what this meant: the only thing I’m going to say is they haven’t gone as deep as what people say. (Tulsa World)
Ah, here’s a clarification on that context…he was talking about “the negotiations.” (Tulsa World)
And I hope that explanation satiated Jenni Carlson. (NewsOK)
Texas was very strange this year. (ESPN)
Little late on this, but OSU is just cleaning up right now. We can afford two Gundys! (Star-Telegram)
Pretty funny line from Ubbs here: I figured this would be a shootout but Oklahoma State forgot its pistol early on. (ESPN)
Too many awards to keep up with but here’s another All-American nod for Sharp. (NewsOK)
Ubbs says the biggest snub on the All-Big 12 team was Josh Stewart. Duh. (ESPN)
This wouldn’t be a terrible addition to our 2013 offense. (NewsOK)
Bowl announcing schedule. The sideline reporter for our game is a Longhorn Network employee. (Awful Announcing)
Nine (!) Big 12 teams that gave up fewer rush yards than Texas. All of them! (ESPN)
Hoops
There are two pretty good basketball teams in Stillwater this year. (Tulsa World)
Is it just me or does Ford sound annoyed that he has to try and convince people to fill up GIA? (O’Colly)
This guy ranks Marcus Smart as the 14th best frosh in the country. I give up. (ESPN Insider)

Great post here on dream (team) chasing. (Jon Acuff)
No OSU stuff here but a cool look at some college football superlatives. (CBS Sports)
This is a guy OSU could have potentially gone after. (CBS Sports)
Big weekend for OSU wrestling. (O’Colly)

Laughing stalk! RT @vanillabryce85: going back to Fulmer would turn you into the laughing stalk of CFB, which your close to being already

Apparently cheap way to get Heart of Dallas tickets. Go here.
I don’t know if Ford sounded annoyed, but it did sound like he finally realized he needed to make an effort to get students to show up instead of a ‘if you build it, they will come’ attitude.
Gottlieb said the guy who put Marcus Smart so low in his freshmen rankings only uses stat columns (https://twitter.com/GottliebShow/status/277056690438930432) as his basis. He discredits himself by having him so low, but it does show that stats don’t necessarily tell the story (ahem…football defense…ahem).
Well that’s also garbage because who else on that list is dropping a 14-7-6-3-1 every night?! That’s Smart’s AVERAGE!
He replied on Twitter and said he had him low because he had a bad FG %. Where are we at in society, people?
It’s just you
Congrats on the new gig Kyle! Can we look forward to random shout-outs to Cowboy alums in the PGA?
“… and another name to look out for is Ricky Fowler. He’s sitting 15 strokes back, has a sprained elbow, bad neck, and accidentally left 4 clubs at home, but I think he’s ready to make a run…”
