I have to be honest, I didn’t see this coming from Andrew Wiggins. (Big Lead)

Football misc.

Travis Haney ranked the most desirable coaching jobs if every coaching job came open tomorrow. Oklahoma State is tied for No. 25 with Washington. Coaches still see OSU as a very solid job, again largely because of support from those such as Pickens. “He’s not going to let them fail,” a Big 12 assistant said. (ESPN Insider)

I like how it takes an act of congress to get a football game scheduled and baseball is like “hey, Auburn, you guys want to play this week? Cool, let’s do it.” (NewsOK)

Josh Holliday on his noncon scheduling mantra: “By playing the very best teams that you can schedule you speed that process up for your team.” (O’Colly)
