Football

We talked about this two weeks ago but I like Helsley dubbing it the “OSU Rule.” (NewsOK)

Behind the scenes of the QB decision. (PFB)

Gary Patterson doesn’t think teams can play any faster. We’ll see. (NewsOK)

Oklahoma State’s game with UTSA is, sadly, one of the 20 best non-conference games in the Big 12 this year. (ESPN)

They kind of had a little ego to them walking in at first. (NewsOK)

Justin Gilbert as the Big 12’s 22nd best player. He could also be a lot higher, or a lot lower. Who knows? (ESPN)

Josh Stewart was made to play in the spread. Yes. (NewsOK)

I agree on the “most important newcomer” here. (Scout)

Three big storylines for this year. Without some answers I think OSU could struggle. (Tulsa World)

Desmond Roland is “chomping at Jeremy Smith’s heels.” No idea what that means but it sounds like Smith could get injured in the process. (NewsOK)

Weekly Big 12 commitment roundup. (ESPN)

So we’re not focused on creating turnover…interesting. (Rivals)

Good stuff from Berry here on the OU/OSU QB battles. (NewsOK)

Josh Stewart says OSU could win it all? (Scout)

Mike Gundy as one of the 20 most intriguing coaches in the country. (Yahoo)

Good call here by RA that nothing stupid has happened with any players so far this summer [knocks on wooden desk]. (Scout)

Somehow, OSU’s coaches are saying less now about the QB situation. (NewsOK)

Other

I’m sorry but this is just…wrong. There’s nothing in this article to account for how many possessions OSU’s defenses play. Over the last five years they’ve played a full season more than Bama. A season. Plus, aren’t turnovers kind of the point of a defense? (Tulsa World)

Marcus Smart as the No. 2 player in college basketball. (Big Lead)

I busted my tail because I knew I had to. (Ohio.com)

OK, let’s not overdramatize this thing. I would imagine 99% of golfers would have done the same thing. (NewsOK)

Good Smart interview here with Kelly Hines — I’m amazed at his ability to both run the show in Stillwater and still maintain respect under the leadership of Ford. He’s good at pulling it off which is not an easy thing. (Tulsa World)

The WVU mascot said Baylor’s new helmet needs a coonskin cap. (NewsOK)

Hunter Mahan withdrew from the Canadian Open (he was leading) to be at the birth of his baby. (PFB)

Aaron Paul is awesome (Gawker)

Zero Fs given by this guy. (Deadspin)

Fun Bill Hader article about him leaving SNL and moving to L.A. (Tulsa World)

I laughed pretty hard at Phil Mickelson saying “I love Science Fridays.” 8:40 mark here. (NPR)

Is this an official logo? Because it’s awesome…

OSU is on Instagram now, I think it’ll be cool.

I laughed at #15footers.

Here’s Weeden talking about the first few days of camp.

This is pretty cool.

Oh yeah, Brandt Snedeker won that tournament Mahan withdrew from.
