The Morning Fade – 4.29.11

Great quote here from Ryan Herrington “I genuinely believe that winning doesn’t get old (at least for elite athletes) but if it did, it might feel something like what the Cowboys seem to be doing of late.” (Golf Digest)

More superlatives from Asher Wildman on OSU’s greatness, “There is no doubt that the Cowboys will be the No. 1 overall seed when regionals are announced and will continue to be the team to beat at NCAAs this year.” (Golf Week)

Mel Kiper’s big board (which carries about as much weight with me as Todd McShay’s big board…that is to say, none) had Blackmon as the #1 WR for 2012 and Weeden as the #4 QB. (ESPN)

Cowboy baseball kicks off a must-take-two-of-three series with K-State tonight. The Wildcats have won seven (!) straight over OSU dating back to 2008, but OSU is (and I know this is so overhyped but I’m still floored every time I see it) 784-171 all-time at Allie P. (okstate.com)

Good scoop here from James Poling on Brad Propst’s transition from “best defensive shortstop on the team” to “top 5 pitcher in the Big 12” in under two years. (O’Colly)

Interesting thoughts here from Ubben on what the 2011 draft means for the Big 12’s future. (ESPN)

Jimmie Tramel unintentionally supports my post from yesterday that playing a Friday night game in Ames is the worst idea ever. (Tulsa World…hope you have your pageviews left)

Jason McIntyre takes a shot at Giants fans and their Prince Amukamara pick with a lengthy Justin Blackmon highlight video. (The Big Lead)
