Cowboys are up three on Texas after two rounds of the Big 12 golf championships. That’s a little misleading though. After going +3 in the morning round round all they could muster was a meager +12 showing in round 2 encapsulated by Peter Uihlein’s 75. (Golf Stat)

Despite the average showing (for an OSU golf team), Morgan Hoffman and Kevin Tway are tied for first with two rounds left. (Big 12 Sports)

OSU is 9th in the Big 12 in the last eleven years of producing NFL draft picks, but third in first rounders. OU leads the way with 49 overall picks while Texas had 14 first rounders.

Non-OSU (and this is older), but KD commits to reading his Bible every day. (News OK)

It’s impossible for Tony Allen to get any more awesome than he is right now. (Ball Don’t Lie)
