• We had Eddie on Monday – tonight is about “Finding Big Country” (on ESPN at 7pm CST).

“It’s been nearly two decades since the Vancouver Grizzlies left town with their original franchise player Big Country Bryant Reeves taking most of the blame, but superfan Kat Jayme still isn’t over it,” ESPN touted in a press release. “She goes on a mission to find her reclusive and maligned childhood hero and tell the story of the forgotten legend.” [NewsOK]

• Chuba Hubbard’s response to the OAN shirt in league with Kylin Hill’s outrage about the Mississippi flag show the power of social media in 2020.

Former Syracuse player Greg) Allen says the rise of social media is “the difference between our actions [then] and the actions today.” Hubbard can see his coach, Mike Gundy, in an OAN T-shirt and express his outrage within seconds. Hill can tell the world that he won’t represent a Mississippi school if the state doesn’t remove the Confederate battle flag from the state flag. Days later, the Mississippi legislature acted to do just that. [The Ringer]

• If you were wondering if Bernard Kouma would be the last big Boynton adds to the roster, there’s still one more.

Plus, sources have told Rivals.com that incoming big man Montreal Pena has been ruled eligible for the fall. Barring any other unforeseen departures, Kouma becomes the final piece to the Pokes’ roster for the months ahead. [Rivals]

• This is a pretty good list for the ten biggest wins under Mike Gundy – a little too much West Virginia for me though

• Josh Holliday landed a commitment from the third Benge brother – a pitcher from Yukon

• Campus guidelines released for coming back to Stillwater this fall

• Here’s a solid update on the status of college football (in general) given the state of COVID-19

• Fun trivia question below – call an OSU fan and ask how many of the top-15 three-point shooters in school history they can name. 

The documentary didn't have time to get in-depth on Sean Sutton the player, but was legit at @OSUMBB. He's still the career leader in 3-point percentage. pic.twitter.com/Y3RtzASkfM

• Reminder: Go watch “Eddie” if you haven’t.

• I’m about ten years late to the party but I’ve been listening to the Turnpike Troubadours for the past month – so good. Think Randy Rogers Band meets Old Crow Medicine Show.
• I’m getting excited to watch a Cam Newton/Bill Belichick team
• The lack of necessity for us all to have loud voices on most situations (faith-based)

Gone too soon.

27 years ago today, Penny Hardaway was traded to the Orlando Magic.

The Shaq & Penny era only lasted 3 seasons!
