Bullets: Anthony Hickey says Ford is ‘making him a better person’

Sad to hear about a family member of one of my sponsors passing away. Show them some love and go get some free coffee.

TCU leftovers

Nash: “It’s my last time. and it hit me when the ball went up in the air. It hit me.” (Tulsa World)

Travis Ford was setting up Marek Soucek for a 3-pointer last night. (NewsOK)

Wow, Eamonn Brennan says OSU didn’t even need to win at home on Wednesday night: “I think Oregon could probably survive a loss at Oregon State, given where they are right now. I’d say the same for Oklahoma State despite those four straight losses, even at home against TCU; the rest of the bubble just doesn’t have the Cowboys’ quality wins.” (ESPN)

The women’s All-Big 12 team continues to be a clown show. Don’t put 10 girls on your first team and maybe I’ll start to take you seriously. (Big 12 Sports)

This photo of Desmond and Rayford Young, though. (NewsOK)

Five ways to fix OSU hoops. Pokes sort of implemented a few of these on Wednesday. (PFB)

What happened to the Dez Bryant video? (Deadspin)

The Dez high school highlight videos are never ending and always awesome. (PFB)

About that RB position

Todd Monken on OSU’s new RB coach: “I’m adamant in all my years coaching that Marcus Arroyo is a flat-out stud.” Sold. (NewsOK)

The NCAA wants to effectively eliminate the pop pass? That stinks. OSU uses it a little bit, too. (CBS)

Someday, aliens will unearth our amateur athletics days and giggle. (CBS)
