Morning Fade 11.19.10

John Maher (as opposed to John Mayer) in the AA-Statesman on revenue lost in Austin because of how bad UT is – Last week we bought 6 tickets for $100…total. Texas is down in more ways than one. Good thing they got that massive ESPN contract just in time for Garrett Gilbert’s senior year!

John Helsley reports on Mike Gundy’s break dancing skills – Sadly, very sadly actually, there’s no video involved. If I had to choose 3 people involved with OSU who I would want to see break dance the list would go: 1. Bill Young 2. Gundy 3. Keiton Page.

According to Mike Brown, Bobby Reid is trying to launch his pro football career – Shouldn’t this dream have died like 7 times already? I was thinking about it yesterday too, isn’t Cam Newton what Bobby Reid should have been?

Berry Tramel on Pickens’ Plan –  Tramel with some kind words towards OSU, “Sure, Dana Holgorsen’s new-age offense is all the rage. But Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon and Kendall Hunter became Cowboys when Holgorsen was just a twinkle in Mike Gundy’s eye. Holgorsen is new-age, but Bill Young is old-school, and his defenders are playing solid.”

Jeff Latzke on Holgorsen’s genius – He quotes Weeden as saying “He’s the mad scientist, he makes adjustments between series better than anybody. He sees things from the sideline that a lot of coaches can’t see on the sideline.”

Kansas City Star predicting a rout tomorrow – “Key matchup: Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon vs. Kansas’ cornerbacks.” Um…duh?
