David Beaty really really really likes this OSU team. [PFB]

Mike Gundy on Mason Rudolph: “He’s always been really tough when you think about it. He’s been tough, played with a broken foot (last season). I think he feels better.” [NewsOK]

Ranking the first six uniform combos. Good post here. I would have black-black-gray and the traditional white-orange-white higher and Monster Chrome Pete lower. [CRFF]

Get to know KU. Good stuff here from Steven Mandeville. [PFB]

Not everyone hates 11 a.m. games. Here’s Devante Averette: “It’s like playing when I was little. We used to play 11 o’clock games. When you get up, it’s just time to ball. That’s what I love about the game. I’ll be ready.” [O’Colly]

Previewing the second half of OSU’s season. [PFB]

S&P has OSU by 19 and F+ has OSU by 16 this weekend. [Football Study Hall]

Ramon Richards sets an alarm to remind himself how good he is. [PFB]

Berry Tramel picks OSU by a TD. [NewsOK]

Good reporting here on DeQuinton Osborne’s story by Kyle Fredrickson. Was a monstrous pickup by OSU. [NewsOK]

How good is this?

I love it when Gundy goes rogue with his Twitter account. I want more.

Around the Country

I don’t understand how OU and Texas have possibly the two worst pass defenses in the Big 12. [LGG]

This Louisville scandal is a mess, but Rick Pitino got off pretty easy. For Pitino and Louisville, that’s the most favorable way the NCAA could have framed one of the most salacious recruiting scandals in college sports history. [Yahoo]

The worst fake punt in CFB history. Tough to argue. [Yahoo]

I’m in, although I hope it’s not for another decade (at least).

Expansion News

The Big 12 needed to get stronger to justify the efficacy of its conference championship game. It needed to add teams. Strong teams. Two would have been fine. Four would have been better. It needed to justify the creation of its own TV network. It needed to expand its brand into bigger markets. It needed to compete with the other Power Five conferences. It needed to stand up at a podium and bellow, “We’re here to stay.” Instead, it cowered before the spotlight and meekly whimpered, “We’ll be fine.” [O’Colly]

70 percent of you think the Big 12 will die a slow death. [PFB]

This is well said by Jake Trotter: “The Big 12 has to stop being its own worst enemy. You know why people think the Big 12 is unstable, unsteady and indecisive? Because its own board chair termed the league “psychologically disadvantaged.” The conference really wasn’t in that bad of shape at the time David Boren uttered that phrase.

“The TV distribution was on par with the ACC and Pac-12. The tier 3 revenue some of the schools had been generating was beginning to be significant. Oklahoma was about to make the CFP and the Final Four. Instead of building on all of that, the Big 12 went predictably went haywire, and conducted a overly dramatic, drawn-out process that did nothing for the league except give it a championship game.” [ESPN]

Baseball News

One big reason Andrew Heaney got the Roberto Clement award: He and wife, Jordan, made plans for another offseason mission trip to Honduras. They have taken a group there each of the past two years to work with Hearts2Honduras, a charity trying to break the cycle of poverty in one of the poorest countries in the world. [NewsOK]

OSU’s 2017 schedule is out, and the highlight is probably a CWS rematch with Arizona. [PFB]

Hoops News

This is awesome — Mike Cobbins and Anthony Hickey reunited. [PFB]

Brad Underwood remains the dude, can’t believe a college pom girl doesn’t drink “skinny fraps.” [PFB]

Brad Underwood and a culture of defense. [PFB]
