Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! No posts for me Saturday-Monday (unless Fowler wins the Colonial), so I hope you guys have a ‘Merica-filled weekend!
How OSU’s baseball season was undone. Good stuff from Slater. (NewsOK)
New take on a tired story, and the way Blackmon tells it is hilarious. (ESPN)
MLB.com has Heaney to the Indians in the first round. h/t Slater (MLB.com)
Jacksonville and Cleveland are supposed to be the two worst teams in football. (Grantland)
Interesting, I feel like the ceiling for the Browns is higher than this. (ESPN)
Color me stunned. Wow. (ESPN)

I feel like OSU could win the Big 12 next year or go 6-12 and I wouldn’t be surprised. Like this year but even more volatile….
Oklahoma State has a ton of perimeter talent. How Smart and Nash co-exist will be a major key; two very different players and attitudes.

Hilarious. “I’m a two-tone kind of guy.”
I’m starting to wonder if Boone didn’t make some kind of deal with Squinky for the BIG XII title and BCS game but didn’t read the rest of the fine print on the contract.
1) Snubbed for the NCG by the slimmest of margins ever.
2) Baseball will lose an unreal amount of late inning 1 run games.
3) Basketball team will have to play with 6 scholarships but no PG.
4) Wrestling team will lose Z and Jordan will get robbed in Finals.
5) Golf team misses NCAAs for first time ever.
6) Women’s Basketball team last team out of NCAAs.
Basically all of the angst of OSU football was transferred to the other sports. Brian Philips needs to look into this. Squinky is not dead.
You know, it was still kinda worth it. Not every year, but certainly this year.
I know it’s Twitter, but Lebryan Nash should have paid more attention in Comp I and Comp II…
I wouldn’t trade this football year, but basketball and baseball better pick it up and pick it up fast.
For a Big 12 championship and finally beating OU after 8 years, I wouldn’t trade anything.
