Football News

OSU has been performing well in the heat. [PFB]

Great Mike Gundy quote here. On his skill players: “It’s almost like an NBA team. There’s a role for what (Dennis) Rodman did when he played, and it wasn’t what Michael Jordan did. … Tony Allen, he has a role. He’s really good at what he does. Every once in a while, he’ll score 12 points and he makes some plays. I’m not saying he can’t, but that’s not really what his role is.” [NewsOK]

Big 12 Expansion

Berry Tramel makes the case for … UConn? Storrs is closer to St. John’s, Newfoundland, than it is to Bricktown. But if the Big 12 expands — a big if; my guess remains that the league stays at 10 — it should bite the geography bullet. The Big 12’s two best options are BYU and UConn. [NewsOK]

Olympics News

This graphic of Bolt vs. the fastest men since 1896 is spectacular. [NYT]
