The last time we saw them, OSU was eliminated from the Big 12 Tournament in the semifinals by Texas. The Longhorns also make the list at 25/1 odds, alongside Arkansas, Auburn, LSU, Southern Miss, and Vanderbilt.

Solid summer vacation planning tip – get some stillness:

“As I came down from the mountain, I recalled how, not many years ago, it was access to information and movement that seemed our greatest luxury; nowadays it’s often freedom from information, the chance to sit still, that feels like the ultimate prize. Stillness is not just an indulgence for those with enough resources—it’s a necessity for anyone who wishes to gather less visible resources.”
