Bullets: OSU’s bench must show up in ISU game tonight

Basketball misc.

Le’Bryan getting intense here: “So everybody needs to remember this game, keep it deep down in their soul.” (NewsOK)

I disagree with this fake matchup! The 2005 team would beat the 1995 team, and it definitely wouldn’t get housed by 20. (CRFF)

The Darrell Williams story is going to have a happy ending. (PFB)

This from Berry Tramel on what’s eating KD is brilliant. (NewsOK)

These Duke “Dean” shirts are so cool. (Yahoo)

OSU is such a different team at home. Here’s the empirical data to prove it. (PFB)

Even in OSU’s consecutive wins over Texas, Kansas and Baylor, the Cowboy bench was a non-factor offensively, scoring a combined 12 points (and none at Baylor). (Tulsa World)

Least surprising (and saddest) headline ever? (Deadspin)

Who invited the kid?!

Dez and the franchise tag

The Cowboys are going to franchise Dez. (ESPN)

Dez doesn’t seem thrilled about it.

I wish They felt the same way but it's cool.. It's #business RT @FrankyGonzalez3: I love how dedicated @DezBryant is to the @dallascowboys

Markelle Martin returns to OSU

He’s back to…coach? (PFB)

Robert Allen has more on the Markelle coaching gig here and explains what grad assistants and quality control folks do. (Scout)

Also, Markelle isn’t officially a coach or replacing Jason Ray like I thought he was. That spot as well as Bob Connelly’s will still need to be filled. (Tulsa World)

Football misc.

Texas Tech and Under Armour partner through 2020. So we won’t have to worry about them contending until at least the next decade. (CBS)

Guys, we live in a world where OSU has the second-best linebackers in the Big 12. I’m excited for Gyasi Akem and Justin Phillips, by the way. They’re going to be awesome. (ESPN)

Nine Big 12 players to watch at the NFL Combine. (Fox SW)

Fascinating stuff here: Kansas will wear mouthguards that could detect concussions. (CBS)

Brennan Clay pulled a Tyreek. (Big Lead)

Somebody draft Castleman.

#okstate OSU's Pro Day combine scheduled for March 12 at Boone Pickens Stadium. Big day for tackles James Castleman and Ofa Hautau.

Baseball

OSU is still ranked in the top 10 in baseball (sort of). (okstate)

Around the Horn with Gage Green.

Other sporting things

I discussed who might be on the 2016 Ryder Cup team here. (CBS)

More stuff I’m reading

An amateur has amateur habits.  A professional has professional habits. This is why I love the term “be a professional.” (Saddington)

Taylor Swift and Jimmy Fallon draw each other.
