The Morning Fade – 6.3.11

Lots of minor changes out of the Big 12 meetings this week including new basketball tournament format and equestrian being added as an official NCAA sport. The latter begs the question, do we get to go back and count our 4 titles towards the overall total? (Kansas City Star)

Alas, the Big 12 will keep its logo for now. (ESPN)

Ubben says OSU has the 5th best helmets in the Big 12. After Holder hands over the keys to the Manhattan Project I’d say this might change. (ESPN)

Jake Trotter says anything can happen at the Vanderbilt Regional. (NewsOK)

Sean Einhaus is happy about not winning the stroke play portion of the golf tournament. (NewsOK)

John Rhode says Karsten should be downright nasty for the weekend. (NewsOK)

Rickie Fowler, Hunter Mahan, and Bo Van Pelt are 5th, 13th, and 65th respectively in your “yeah there are other OSU golfers competing in tournaments” update. (PGA Tour)

Tee times for all the rounds at Karsten today. (NCAA.com)

OSU is definitely the darkhorse at the Vanderbilt Regional this weekend. (Perfect Game)

Another good Regional preview from Brian Foley. (When it Strikes Me)

Pitching dominated Day 1 of the Women’s CWS. (ESPN)

This is funny.

Mike McGraw is quickly becoming my favorite OSU interview…

Lastly…I want John Smith at this kid’s house today…
