Football

Here’s a photo of the folks in the band that came to play for him. (Twitter)

Kristen Gundy: “That’s right, he’s 47 and we were running out of ideas. The OSU band has always been special to us and my boys love the drum line. Wayne called me and brought up the idea and I thought it was an awesome idea and something he will always remember versus another shirt.” (Scout)

My man, James Washington. Here’s Gundy on him: “I was just talking to one of our coaches today — the most pleasant thing about him is he plays hard and never says a word.” (Tulsa World)

On what OSU is chasing in recruiting: For a program that truly values its receivers, the Cowboys are still looking for its first receiver pledge. Strickland would be a big get — and he’d also be reunited with former high school teammate Ra’Shaad Samples. (ESPN)

This feature on DeAndre Yedlin is terrific. I’m probably overly-optimistic about him. (Grantland)

Well done.
