Daily Bullets (July 17)
Football misc.
Incoming freshmen got their numbers on Wednesday. John Kolar looks, what, 12? 14? (PFB)
Really good post here on which transfers could have the most impact on OSU this season. (CRFF)
Big 12 poll
Here’s the preseason Big 12 media poll. Not really a surprise.

Here’s a strange stat.
This is the first time in the non-divisional Big 12 era that the preseason favorite is not from the state of Oklahoma. #OKState #Sooners

Also, it’s the first time a Stoops team has ever not been picked first or second. (NewsOK)
It’s a surprise to see TCU with more than double the first-place votes of Baylor. After all, the Bears handed the Horned Frogs their only loss last season and are back-to-back Big 12 champions. I’m sure that won’t go down well in Waco. (ESPN)
Here’s how Ubben voted. (Fox)
Around the country
This is a nice way of saying, “crap, this guy interviewed really well!” (Dallas Morning News)
Cameraman hits pole, Les tried to tell him. (Yahoo)
Open Championship
I wrote a few thoughts about the first round from St. Andrews. (CBS)
Here’s a boss Jordan Spieth story written by my dude Chris Jones. (ESPN)
This is so cool.
Does it get any better than an #okstate foursome at @TheHomeofGolf doing prep work for @TheOpen? #golfschool pic.twitter.com/9YCDKZLWGy

Read the quote, watch the video (I laughed out loud so hard at the video).

Speaking of videos, have you seen Arnold Palmer cry about being at the Old Course? Man. (CBS)
Hoops misc.
This is awesome, Marcus Smart is going to play in the first NBA game (an exhibition, albeit) in Africa. (NewsOK)
More stuff I’m reading
These responses to Amazon Prime Day were hilarious. I laughed out loud at a couple. (Buzzfeed)
If you use Pocket, this is monstrous news. Text-to-speech! I shouldn’t be this excited! (Pocket Blog)
Why don’t Netflix and HBO care that you’re sharing passwords? (Kottke)
Colin Cowherd, gone. (Big Lead)
