Rob Walton: “It’s just kind of hitting you a little bit now. Now this is the final weekend. For me to play here and him to follow … I’ve made my trips to Omaha that he’s heard about many times. For him to get the opportunity to do that, it’s pretty special.” [Tulsa World]

On title towns. That’s why in Stillwater, OSU’s rise in football can’t do anything but help the other sports. The Cowboys, mired in the middle of the Big Eight or Big 12 for most of 50 years, have become Big 12 contenders the last half-decade. They went 65 years without making a major bowl but now have gone twice in five seasons. [NewsOK]

Mason Rudolph was essentially the second-best QB in the Big 12 against the blitz (ahead of Baker). But keep telling me how you’d rather have Mahomes. [ESPN]

I like this concept. OSU should do it with No. 1 or No. 21 or something. [Yahoo]

This is great. Matty Ice on “Dave Gilden.” Thanks to everyone who sent it over — those mentions on Twitter to me and Kyle really help us cover everything. Keep ’em coming!

Gilden… Glidden…
