Glenn Spencer: “If you watch (Chad Kelly), he’s a lot like Baker (Mayfield). Which isn’t good.” [NewsOK]

Agree that these players have to step up for OSU to win the Sugar Bowl. [CRFF]

The team event on Monday night looked like it was pretty fun. [okstate]

Football News

OSU did take it back in 2015 which, to me, shows that 2014 was a statistical anomaly more than anything. [NewsOK]

Glenn Spencer on Vincent Taylor: “I recruit San Antonio, so I got hold of his story when he was a sophomore at Madison(High School). Great chapter in somebody’s book — him and his family being on a roof in this town, to now where he is. Staying in a lavish hotel. Getting tremendous meals. Getting a per diem in his pocket. Being able to go and walk down Bourbon Street. I guess it’s a testimony to this great country that can provide someone with that great opportunity.” [Tulsa World]

Mike Gundy on the D1 coaches who have come out of Oklahoma: “I think what we’re finding out over the last few years … Oklahoma’s somewhat overlooked in the talent that’s come out of here in the last eight or 10 years. Texas gets a lot of notoriety because of the total numbers, but there’s some quality people that have come out of here that have done very well.” [NewsOK]

Great point here: Clemson and OU are in the playoffs because of a pair of two-point conversion stops. [NewsOK]

I still like him, but Baker Mayfield seems like he would be kind of a joker in real life. [CBS]

Re: this headline — let’s define “slow.” [Yahoo]

Hoops News

I know we aren’t paying attention yet, but OU is ranked ahead of Kansas. And Kansas is ranked No. 3 in the country. [CBS]

The most memorable games of 2015. Kentucky-Notre Dame was No. 1 for me. [Yahoo]

My favorite version of Steph is when he heaves a long bomb and barely looks at it. Look at the last three on the first video here. [Big Lead]
