Daily Bullets: Cowboys a quiet title contender?

Football

Josh Stewart is the special teams player of the week which makes for some awkward “Josh Stewart is the POW” tweets on Twitter. (Big 12 Sports)

Some interesting OU-OSU talk here. (CBS Sports)

Jeremy Smith really did have the quietest 3-TD performance ever. (ESPN)

Good thoughts from Whetsell on how the Big 12 is shaping up. (CRFF)

Wow, Kansas is ranked 6th, OSU 12th in the Blue Ribbon preseason poll. (Big 12 Sports)

Do we like this? (CBS Sports)

Wow, college basketball practices started Sunday. (CBS Sports)

“Scandal”

This is excellent, read it. (Rivals)

OSU picks a guy with the strangest last name I’ve ever seen to follow up on this mess. (ESPN)

Jenni Carlson with some good points here on Herschel Sims. (NewsOK)

This (among many places) is where SI’s arguments just totally fell apart.

How to become a successful football program: Kick a 5-star recruit off the team when he commits a felony. Wait, huh? What's going on here?

Yeahh…

Does nobody else remember when Artrell Woods was up for the FWAA Courage Award? Or when he was subject of an ESPN Outside the Lines story?

Hah, good point here.

Silver lining of SI for #okstate: Regardless of its accuracy, it took some shine off Gundy. Hard to see Texas hiring him now if job opens.

Two weeks ago, if Texas needed a new coach, I would have put Gundy in the top 2-3 most likely candidates.

Guess this wasn’t taken into account?

Gundy, 2005: "I'm not in the business of trying to kick guys off or run guys off… If a guy makes a mistake, I want to be the first one…

… But if a guy takes care of his business here, we'll fight for them forever."

Great question!

How has no one updated #OKState's uniforms on Wikipedia in two and a half years? http://t.co/4v6Vq6PqSU
