Harris Fights for Gym Time

Good story here on Terrel Harris who has taken his talent to Dallas to try and help provide facilities for underprivileged hoopers.

The 29-year-old lives near The Colony and pays the bills giving private lessons; the ring’s a good advertisement. During off-hours, he’s in the old neighborhood up near the High Five or down at Dallas City Hall, begging officials to do what they didn’t back in 1983 — give the Hamilton Park kids an indoor gym at their tiny neighborhood rec center, as opposed to the fenced-in, slippery concrete slab that sits outside the center built decades ago with a low-ball bid.

Biggest Big 12 Games of 2017

Big surprise, but OSU-OU ranks No. 2 on this list.

What’s at stake: Enough with all that could go wrong. What if it all goes so right for the two most complete teams in the Big 12? If the Sooners head to Stillwater and somehow both teams remain unbeaten, we’ll be in for a Bedlam spectacle that will allow the league — and force pundits nationally, for one Saturday — to forget all the flaws of the Big 12.

When Oklahoma and Oklahoma State get it right, they can provide a matchup on the level of Michigan-Ohio State or Auburn-Alabama. The players, coaches and fans know each other so well that records rarely matter. But when the records do matter nationally — beyond the Big 12 race — this rivalry is truly special. It may happen twice in 2017, starting in Week 10. [ESPN]

When Oklahoma and Oklahoma State get it right means “when Oklahoma State gets it right,” I think.

Wisdom With Trey Cobb

On coming back for a final ride.

And, you know, it was a frustrating year, but it was a fun year. We’ve all grown a lot, all of us. The older guys, we’ve learned a lot about leadership and, you know, how to take care of younger guys cause those young guys are a huge part of our team. [Go Pokes — $]

I don’t follow other teams as closely as I do those related to OSU, but this baseball squad might be trying to set the record for most life lessons distilled to the media in a single season.

OSU and NCAA News

Nick Saban is not excited about the new early signing period … No pressure on Kevin Sumlin this year … Berry Tramel says the Big 12 rocks except in the only sport that matters … Texas fans impressed with OKC (unfortunately their greatest basketball product ever was apparently not) … Here are the new Boise State unis … Keaontay Ingram commits to Texas (OSU was kinda in the mix).

Oregon-OU for the national title today which means we don’t get to see these guys (thankfully).
