Daily Mullets (September 14)

Wrapping CMU (maybe)

MAC commissioner: “First, I’d say (Gundy’s) comments are entirely predictable and understandable given the situation that occurred. The person I was sitting next to as this erupted, I immediately said to him, ‘We’re likely to hear this comment somewhere in the next couple days.'” [CBS]

Tommy Tuberville: “They lean on instant replay people more than they should, but bottom line: They dropped the ball. Big time. This can’t happen. The people involved in this should not be allowed to do games anymore. … It really upsets me.” [Sports on Earth]

Jenni Carlson: “Yes, the NCAA doles out punishment when football programs run afoul of the rules, but college football decided long ago that it wanted to govern itself. Each conference is its own kingdom, which is good and fine until you have a situation where you need a king, someone looking out for the overall health of the sport.” [NewsOK]

Mike Gundy says he feels Bob Stoops’ pain from Bedlam 2014. [PFB]

Regarding Robert Allen’s story from yesterday where he said he almost saved the day in Stillwater:

@pistolsguy all I can think of is everyone carrying Robert Allen out of jail as a hero when reading his story. Might be top OSU moment ever.

I’d also hope that the rule protecting the gaffes of officials gets amended, or stricken from the record book altogether. Referees make mistakes because they’re human. Allowing those that recognize the error to go back and make it right isn’t hurting anything or showing a mistrust of those officials. If it was, we wouldn’t have replay reviews. [LGG]

Did OSU lose to CMU because it played a FCS school in Week 1? [HCS]

So did Mike Gundy know the rule at the end of the CMU game or not? Because I’m feeling conflicting things from him. [PFB]

Looking ahead to Pitt

Pitt’s leading WR from last year might not play. [PFB]

How Pat Jones almost ended up at Pitt. [NewsOK]

Gundy: “They want to run the clock and I think they were 117th last season in the country in plays per game, meaning tempo. That’s the world they live in and they are pretty good at it. Their backs are good, the quarterback is more than capable, and they have two linemen that I think will be in the NFL.” [Go Pokes]

Here’s where it gets a little more alarming: Through two games, OSU has just one scoring drive of 70 yards or more. That was a 15-play, 90-yard touchdown drive orchestrated by OSU’s backups in the fourth quarter of the Southeastern Louisiana game. [Tulsa World]

This is not good.

#OKState's 9.1 percent conversion rate on third downs (1-11) Saturday was its worst since going 0-14 in Bedlam 2009 (a 27-0 loss).

Recruiting News

Around the Country

Colorado created a fake depth chart for Michigan, and it is amazing. [Yahoo]

More Stuff I’m Reading

Twitter doesn’t want to be Facebook, it wants to be Fox. [Ringer]

Oh wow, 30 for 30 podcasts. [Adweek]

This is a good thing. Moving the story forward from protesting the flag to helping fix. [ESPN]

Also, I agree with this.

I don't think it's win/lose. It's a matter of creating avenues for social justice, and he certainly has done that. https://t.co/8XKah20wvt
