Football News

Cole Walterscheid on growing up in Muenster, Texas: “It’s all I’ve ever known growing up there, it’s normal for me. But it’s kind of crazy. There are so many Walterscheids. Some you’re not related to very close, you don’t even consider them cousins, but they have the same last name.” [NewsOK]

Underwood is comin’ y’all. It’s still the middle of football season so I keep forgetting, but OSU hoops should be a lot of fun this year. A reminder that SFA led the nation in turnover margin last season. [okstate]

NBA News

Brad Stevens talks Marcus Smart. Good stuff here. [PFB]

KD talks about his relationship with Russ and why he went to GS. KD: “So how am I weak when I’m at the top, elite level of my profession and just chose to play for a different time?
