Mike Gundy Wrap
Mike Gundy’s mullet was spectacular. [PFB]
Mike Gundy on BJS. [PFB]
Mike Gundy on his program-building skills: “When our players leave our program and they get to be 25, 28, 30 years old, if they look back and think they had a great experience at Oklahoma State — want to be a part of homecoming and want to be a part of our team — that’s more gratifying to me than anything else. We have to win or we don’t keep our jobs, because that’s the world we live in today. But the other (side) is so important to me. You don’t get those years back.” [NewsOK]
Notes from Gundy’s full press conference. [PFB]
This is why I do about 30 percent of the things I do now.
Sounds like Gundy's mullet may stay, mostly because it agitates his kids. "They say it embarrasses them in front of friends at school."

Big 12 Media Days
What has yet to be decided is how the league’s two finalists will be determined. Bowlsby thinks two five-team divisions is a likely outcome with each division’s winner playing in the title game. [Yahoo]
Berry Tramel with some strong words for BU: “I don’t know what the Big 12 will do with Baylor. But I know what the Big 12 would like to do. Wash its hands of Waco.” [NewsOK]
It was pretty great.
Patterson's indirect shade on Briles by praising Grobe and Baylor in his absence is next-level stuff. Really top-notch.

Mason Rudolph Stuff
Rudolph on what he wants from this year: “I want to be decisive. I want to know where I’m going. I want to get there quick with the ball and make sure it’s there. I think a combination of things with the footwork, with the mental side, it’s coming together pretty well.” [Tulsa World]
Priority No. 1 in Stillwater (not just for Mike Gundy) should be keeping Mason Rudolph upright. [NewsOK]
Yes he is.
James Washington on Mason Rudolph: "He's the head honcho." Rudolph is the first #okstate QB at media days since Brandon Weeden in 2011.

Football News
Good stuff here from Chad Whitener on the state of the country: “Some police officers have been wrong. But I don’t feel like, as a mass group of people, that they shouldn’t be taken out on because there’s some really good men and women that serve us and protect us who died.” [O’Colly]
I love me some James Washington. Here he is talking about the comparison to Rashaun Woods: “I love going back home and seeing the smile on people’s faces. I feel like I’m making my parents and my town proud. I’m definitely doing something right.” [Tulsa World]
The OSU uniforms have a cool message hidden inside. [PFB]
Mike Gundy’s biggest problem on defense cannot be solved. [PFB]
Phil Steele has OSU coming in fifth in the Big 12 this year. I can make some great points for Oklahoma State, as the Cowboys are coming off a 10-3 season, have the most returning starters in the Big 12 and are the sixth-most experienced team in the country, according to my ratings. I think the Cowboys will still have a solid year, but they were just plus-10.9 yards per game differential in Big 12 play last year (sixth-best in the league), were plus-13 in turnovers and had four net close wins last year, plus they have five Big 12 road games including Oklahoma, Baylor, TCU and Kansas State. [ESPN – $]
Another hype video? Another hype video. [PFB]
Yeah boy.
OSU guys raving about true freshman slot WR Dillon Stoner out of Jenks. Sounds like he's going to play a bunch.

Baseball News
Oklahoma State recruit will be in the UnderArmour game this weekend at Wrigley. [NewsOK]
Josh Holliday on Tyler Buffett and Trey Cobb coming back to school: “”These guys believe in Oklahoma State, they believe in what’s going on here both in school and on the field, they trust their coaches and they love the program,” Holliday said. “When you have all that positive energy coming back to you, combined with the other returning players and the newcomers, it’s a great place to start in terms of building the team chemistry and culture that’s necessary to be successful.” [okstate]
