Football News

A must-read here on how Mike Yurcich is helping Mason Rudolph. [PFB]

I wish I’d though to write about this. Mark Cooper on why OSU is more equipped to handle the final stretch run this season than it was last season. [Tulsa World]

Guess what … Mike Gundy almost always beats the teams he’s supposed to beat. He’s 32-3 as a home favorite since 2010. [PFB]

A list of the players who will be honored on Senior Day this weekend. Gonna miss Sterns and Burton the most. [NewsOK]

Pro Football Focus has OSU as the No. 12 team in the nation. [PFF]

But with success comes expectations, as evidenced by the fact that the Pokes opened as 12-point favorites over Texas Tech. That’s a lot of love from Vegas. Mentally, it’s an entirely different challenge when you go from feeling cheated and disrespected to being considered a legitimate contender. We’ll get our first glimpse of how this team will handle that new role on Saturday in Boone Pickens Stadium. [CRFF]

You should come for Carson’s soundtrack for Sugar Loaf Daniels and stay for the winners and losers. [PFB]

Austin Hays on KSU: “Truly, in our hearts, we never believed we were going to lose. And that matters. It really does.” [NewsOK]

New pod — this was a fun one. Carson and I broke down the KSU game and what’s going to happen with the Big 12 title race. [PFB]

This is very strange.

Weird Mason Rudolph stat I thought of today.

Against Baylor: 0-3
Against all other B12 teams: 13-0

This is very interesting. Has Oklahoma State at No. 21.

My Top 40, based on a combination of Win %, FPI, SRS, S&P+, Sagarin, Massey, and my own assessment of wins/losses. https://t.co/BYCb8Rz0zn

Next year’s Receivers

Marcell Ateman will redshirt and hoooo boy that WR group coming back next year could be delicious … [PFB]

… unless Washington goes pro which Mike Gundy doesn’t think he should. [PFB]

Contain Patty Mahomes?

Devante Averette on Patty Mahomes: “Sometimes it’s just backyard football. When (quarterback Patrick Mahomes) gets out of his first read, he moves all over the place, and a receiver will make a play. We’ve got to be able to adjust and get pressure on him to keep him in the pocket. He’s a great quarterback.” [NewsOK]

Gundy says Patty reminds him of Dak: “He reminds me a lot of Dak Prescott. We played Dak when he was at Mississippi State when he was younger. At that time, the style of play, body, the strength, speed, ability to run and throw in different positions, reminds me a lot of him.” [O’Colly]

Recruiting News

Kyle B. doing some work here evaluating the prospects at the safety position. [PFB]

Around the league/country

Oklahoma State and Oklahoma control their own destiny in Big 12 play. [PFB]

You might not like day games but coaches certainly do. [NewsOK]

Baylor’s coach thinks his staff might be distracted. Wait … might be?? [NewsOK]

Also, yikes!

We are rolling our our basketball preview stuff this week. Kyle Boone took a look at who Lindy Waters is. [PFB]

Ranking the 2016-17 OSU freshmen. [PFB]

Other Sports/News

I wrote something short about Kyle B’s leap to CBS Sports. [PFB]

Oklahoma State’s women’s soccer team plays Colorado in Round 1 of the NCAA Tournament. [Big 12]

Election

Can you imagine if Mike Gundy attended an Obama rally for Hillary? The meltdown would be spectacular. Harbaugh is in full “I’m 9-0 and make $9M a year” mode. [Yahoo]

Hahaha.

With this crazy election at home I just want to move to the opposite side of the world and live on an island… Oh wait nvm ✔ #RIPUSA
