Why having nine conference games (instead of eight) helps teams like Oklahoma State. (ESPN)

A poor column from Jenni Carlson on the Golf Boys. Come on Jenni, when the column gods smile on like you like this you have to kill it. And you absolutely didn’t right there. (NewsOK)

Chat with Justin Blackmon today via Facebook and Twitter. Terrific idea from the athletic department even if the Heisman campaign is still misguided. (okstate.com)

Good post here by Ryan Cameron on U.S. Open times for the five OSU guys competing. (okstate.com)

Ubben with some solid thoughts on OSU’s 2012 football decommits. (ESPN)

Rickie Fowler in Men’s Health. What’s the record for “most publication appearances in a single year without having ever won a tournament”? Hat tip to Gavin Lang for the link. (Men’s Health)

Are we seriously going on the road to play MAC teams in football? The UL-LA stuff is forgivable because it was done years in advance before we were actually a top 20 program but to do this now… (FB Schedules)

Okay ESPN let’s not lump OSU into the “Oklahoma schools compensated millions by Big 12 in unsold bowl tickets” I saw this morning. It was under $300,000 for us.

In a related story, a college football playoff is a terrible idea! (Tulsa World)

OSU is fourth in Big 12 bowl records over the last 10 years. Kansas is second. (Holy Turf)
