OSU Bullets

• Really cool – the Barry Sanders’ statue and name in the ring of honor are finally coming

• Rickie Fowler came out with smoking guns in the 3M Open, leading after day one

• OU/Texas Bailing Update:
– Big 12 leaders met last night, OU and Texas reportedly were not present, a statement was released after
– Berry T. looks at how OSU knew this was coming, even applying political pressure to keep OU at bay (along with Texas A&M, Baylor, and Texas Tech for Texas)
– What saving the Big 12 (outside of Texas and OU staying) could look like
– How this sucker escalated so quickly

“It is impossible to get better and look good at the same time.

Give yourself permission to be a beginner. By being willing to be a bad artist, you have a chance to be an artist, and perhaps, over time, a very good one.”
