Amazing text I got last night: “sucks you got this sweet new job and the world is over tomorrow.”
Football
Apparently Baylor is taking home its second Heisman in two years next December. (CBS Sports)
Ubben previews the HOD Bowl. (ESPN)
If we can’t beat a QB who has one ACL… (Scout)
I forgot that Brodrick Brown filled in for Perrish Cox in that Ole Miss Cotton Bowl. Feels like a decade ago. (NewsOK)
The stability centers around Gundy, not the offensive coordinator position, but I guess that’s kind of the point… (Yahoo!)
If I had to bet, I would put a lot of money on Bill Young not being back next year either. (NewsOK)
It’s really intriguing to me that our offense just kind of exists on its own. Chelf probably has more ownership over it than anybody in the athletic department right now. (Scout)
Good to see someone else noticed the irony of Gundy talking about how much he hates coaching changes in December. (NewsOK)
Hoops
It’s early, but cool. (Big 12 Sports)
Free basketball tickets for Sunday. (okstate) (correction: game is Saturday)
Bummer: James was cut by the Spurs again. Good post by Slater though. (NewsOK)
I’m still not sure Ford knows what kind of style he wants to play, but this will do just fine for now. (Rivals)
Are Jason Kidd and Penny Hardaway basketball players you want to be compared to, or no? (ESPN)

I have no idea what’s going on here…

Does Dean-O just close his eyes at Thunder games, or what?

The announcers here are hilarious…(via Jeremy Greenfield)
Yes. Leo is the most Gatsby character ever.
You got up early to post this stuff so you could watch the end of the world, didn’t ja?
The bball games is Saturday, FYI.
“Good to see someone else noticed the irony of Gundy talking about how much he hates coaching changes in December.”
It’s not ironic because the whole situation was never about him getting up and leaving.
How was it not??
Kyle, while I appreciate your good work. Gundy was never leaving. This was all about making sure Holder knew that if if he wanted to, Gundy could leave into the open arms of another university. He wants more control and I’ll bet he was given it too.
Now can I or anyone prove this? No of course not. How do you prove a negative? But as of now Gundy is still at OSU. I bet this all comes out when Gundy writes his memoirs sometime after 2019.
Irony: The expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.
Not so sure it’s ironic.
For the record, I never thought Gundy was serious in pursuing other jobs. I thought he was trying to be courteous in speaking with A.D.s from other teams. So, I never hit the panic button.
