Football

Wow, some really interesting, good quotes from Weeden here on what’s wrong with OSU and the beginning of his journey in football. (NewsOK)

Carson and I did a podcast on Thursday talking Florida, Gabe Lindsay, Taylor Cornelius and a little OSU hoops. I talk at the end about an email I got recently from Mike Holder. It was a lot fun. Hope you enjoy it. (KOCO)

One of OSU’s best recruits for 2015 recently de-committed. (NewsOK)

Do you guys feel like Emmanuel Ogbah is sort of being overlooked this year? I sort of do. (ESPN)

John Hoover insinuates if Mason Rudolph starts in Waco that might be a sign that Mike Gundy is heading to Florida? Hot take much? (Tulsa World)

OSU is going to finish with the least efficient offense in the Big 12. (NewsOK)

So Mike Yurcich IS prepared for a change in quarterback? Am I reading that correctly? (NewsOK)

Yes, this would be the third quarterback that OSU would be using as a starter this year. Often, that’s just bad luck. But this is the second time in three years that OSU has found itself in need of a third starting quarterback to make it through the season. (Tulsa World)

I love that one of the keys to the game is “hope for a miracle.” (O’Colly)

Preferred walk-on Tyler Cornelius is the only other quarterback on the roster, and he somehow weighs 184 pounds at 6-foot-6. Hand him the ball and don’t waste an entire year of eligibility. (Fox SW)

What’s going to happen at QB this weekend? My thoughts. (PFB)

Trace Clark, Ben Grogan and Jeremy Seaton made the Academic All-Big 12 1st team. (Big 12 Sports)

This WVU student is insane and made me laugh. (Big Lead)

F/+ says Baylor by 61. :/ (SB Nation)

More good times.

Hoops

I do not like the quote “something’s in my shoe something’s in my shoe.” My palms got sweaty. (Scout)

Cobbins is back. If Travis Ford is to be believed, we might not lose ever again. “Our offense runs through Michael Cobbins.” (NewsOK)

Kansas is scrapping its basketball program. (PFB)

CLIP! I love that he loves Klay Thompson.

Other sports

Cool story here on how John Farrell got to where he’s at as manager of the Red Sox. (okstate)

Part II of our OSU wrestling preview. (PFB)
