New podcast with OKC Dave. Fun stuff. We had a blast. [PFB]
Speaking of Dave, I wrote 15 thoughts about his survey results here. [PFB]
Mason Rudolph is going full Mike Gundy these days. Here he is on senior Keegan Matcalf getting a scholarship: “We all kind of anticipated it. He’s a senior, he’s a heck of a hard worker and gives great effort on the field. Just a great guy. We were pumped for him.” [O’Colly]
Here’s Metcalf’s dad: “Every time something good or bad would happen to him, I’d tell him, ‘You’re gonna have a great story to tell some day.’ It’s just amazing. The financial part of him getting a scholarship is great. But it’s more the achievement. ‘I always thought I could do this, and now I’m finally able to prove it to myself and everybody else. I belong.’ That’s the priceless part.” [Tulsa World]
Calvin Bundage gonna play, you guys. [PFB]

Speaking of Gundy, here’s an all-time quote from him on freshman Justice Hill: “I’ve never heard him talk. If you put him and James Washington in the same room, nothing would ever get said.” [Go Pokes – $]
How good is this!

Brandon Weeden on his start in the NFL: “You throw a guy in there who doesn’t have success early on, and you risk ruining him. I felt like I was ready (in Cleveland). But I found out right away it’s a fast, complex game in the NFL.” [Houston Chronicle]
