That article should have started off with "once upon a time"

SI says OSU made "rapid ascension." I have 6 holes in my drywall, a drinking problem, and a Houston Bowl t-shirt saying it wasn't "rapid."

I spent 5 years in Stillwater and never experienced any of these allegations… I'm interested to see who they got their information from

MT @jaybilas: #OKState should do what NCAA did after actions in UM case: Investigate yourself, fire staffers, declare all is well.

Pretty interesting stuff. I especially appreciated the Houston Bowl t-shirt tweet.
