Daily Bullets (August 21)

2015 Preview

Breaking down the 2015 schedule (Part 1). (PFB)

Our 14th-most important person to the 2015 season. (PFB)

Barry Sanders snubbed

Barry Sanders isn’t on the 75th Anniversary All-America team. I cannot summons the energy necessary to be outraged over a fake team. (NewsOK)

Mike Gundy isn’t going to argue with those lists either. Solidarity, coach. (NewsOK)

The freshmen

So … Jalen McCleskey is going to play even though OSU has 29 receivers (approximately). (Tulsa World)

I’m being talked into Jeff Carr making the Freshman All-America team. Send help. (NewsOK)

This is excellently-done. Kyle Boone looks at five redshirt freshmen to keep an eye on. They aren’t as sexy as the true freshmen but no less important to OSU’s season. (PFB)

Football news

Here is every offensive drive of the Mike Gundy era. (PFB)

OSU ranks 19th in the country in most arrests by college football teams over the last five years. (PFB)

Zac Robinson talks about what he expects from Mason Rudolph in 2015. (PFB)

Good story on Central Michigan’s coach warring against cancer. (NewsOK)

Good update on OSU guys in NFL camps. (CRFF)

Arizona State has Desert Ice uniforms. Whatever. (Yahoo)

Travis Haney ranks Mike Gundy’s job stability 6th-most secure in the Big 12: Stoops’ decision to re-punt to Tyreek Hill, who returned it for a touchdown, literally might have saved Gundy’s job. There’s a “30 for 30” coming on this in a decade or two. Instead, Oklahoma State got a bowl bid, a bowl win and momentum for this season. And Gundy and Pickens hugged it out. ($) (ESPN)

This is pretty cool.

The anticipation is so real! ⌛️??#rise pic.twitter.com/fX2VpOwpX2

Recruiting news

OSU flips TCU commit. He talks about why he chose Stillwater over Ft. Worth. (PFB)

Hoops news

Travis Ford beat some of his players in a 3-point contest. (PFB)

Sam Ukwuachu

This sort of blew up a little on Twitter yesterday, but Baylor’s Sam Ukwuachu was convicted of sexual assault on Thursday. (Yahoo)

The back story is pretty crazy. I read it last night and it doesn’t make Baylor look all that great. (Texas Monthly)

And Dan Wolken wrote a really, really strong column about the whole thing. (USA Today)

More stuff I’m reading

A TV guide from the future. (Medium)

The late, great Stephen Colbert. This profile is immense. (GQ)

Usain Bolt’s final turn. (Grantland)
