Daily Mullets (September 7)

Happy birthday to my dad.  If he hadn’t taken me to OSU baseball games when I was 3, this blog probably wouldn’t exist.

Football News

OSU drops in the AP Poll after a 54-point victory. Curious. [PFB]

Jeff Carr on the RB room: “Everyone gets along. We are always joking around and having fun. We’re like brothers. But everyone is a competitor, too.” [NewsOK]

CMU was 124th of 128 in FBS with just 3.1 yards per carry last year and lost a key back, Romello Ross, for this season with a torn ACL. Junior Devon Spalding and freshman Jonathan Ward did run for 214 yards on just 22 carries in the opener. [Tulsa World]

PFB readers can get a free coffee mug from Hoboken Coffee in Sept. [PFB]

Gundy on Jordan Brailford: “He practiced [Tuesday]. It’s the first time I think he has been out there in something like three weeks. He hasn’t been able to do much because he’s sore, but he seemed to get quite a few reps today. I don’t know if he can be ready for Saturday (against Central Michigan), but I’d like to see him out there tomorrow. We’ll see if he can go tomorrow and that would be a good sign.” [Go Pokes]

Come vote: Who should start at RB for OSU? [PFB]

Depth chart updates for Week 2. [PFB]

Carson and I break down Week 1, and he recites some epic warrior poetry. [PFB]

This is great.

@pistolsguy @KOCOCarson you guys should do a live pod at Booker T. Washington so Carson can apologize to all the Hornets he insulted.

Jhajuan Seales is still on the team after being arrested for alcohol twice in less than a year. Why? “We have structure. We have accountability. We have discipline in our program. That’s never gonna go away. But we also are accommodating for kids that are knuckle heads that we think are somewhat innocent. They just did something stupid.” [NewsOK]

OK really why?

Because he's good. https://t.co/JHvWVgsV6f

Around the league

Berry Tramel says the best medicine for the B12 right now is for Texas to rock again. The Big 12’s instability rests upon the unknown futures of OU and Texas. Are they willing to commit to the conference past 2025, when the grant-of-media-rights expires? If the Longhorns are healthy and wealthy, they are much less likely to wander. They will be wealthy, that we know. But healthy? [NewsOK]

An OSU professor trolled OU so hard on Tuesday. [PFB]

OU-Houston got a MONSTER rating in Oklahoma. [NewsOK]

Why Mike Gundy roots for OU and Texas. [PFB]

Recruiting News

Brad Underwood is trying to hit up Florida again for more recruits. Will it work? [PFB]

Pokes in the Pros

Markel Brown signs with … the Cavaliers. Such a ring-chaser! SMH [PFB]
