Daily Bullets (June 16)

Football Misc.

Why OSU could and could not upend Baylor and TCU. The part about the defense being unproven is interesting. I think it’s going to be an incredible D. (ESPN)

So I’m not the only one all over the over on OSU winning seven games. Ludicrous! (Big Lead)

If Lache Seastrunk takes Joe Randle’s job… (Fox)

‘Crootin

Good superlatives post on some offers OSU made over the weekend. The third comment (from Jeff) was incredible. (PFB)

Some really intriguing comments here from Mike Gundy on early signing periods. He wants to sign dudes in July! (ESPN)

Hey, we got the No. 1 OT from Kansas. Sweet. (PFB)

US Open

I ranked the field for Chambers Bay. I think Fowler has a real chance to win this thing which, given that this will be my first major to attend and cover, would be the absolute coolest. (CBS)

Also, no orange for Fowler on Sunday 😐

Peter Uihlein, who won the 2010 US Amateur at Chambers, has done two cool interviews about the place. (okstate | Golfweek)

This course, by the way? Bonkers.

Other sports

Everybody freaking about Bron Bron saying he’s the best player on the planet. Well … he is. Also, this might be the GOAT emoji tweet.[1. What would our founding fathers think of that sentence?] (Deadspin)

Courtney Dike almost didn’t play for the Nigerian national team in the World Cup. Heck, she almost didn’t play soccer at all. Jenni Carlson doing Jenni Carlson things here. (NewsOK)

More stuff I’m reading

Why the New York Times broke the Bill Simmons and Jason Whitlock news. This is a little Inside Baseball, but I really enjoyed it. (Big Lead)

These New Yorker covers are convicting. (Kleon)

Investments don’t always take cash. They often require our effort, our focus, or our commitment. And the good ones always seem like they take too much, until later, when we realize what a bargain that effort would have been. (Godin)
