Remember when newspapers used to deliver an afternoon paper with all of the days news in it? Yeah, we don't either but we thought it would be cool to have all relevant OSU news in one place to read in about 5 minutes. Introducing.....The Afternoon Ride
Looks like a PAC-12 Network deal might be in the works. Larry Scott is holding a presser at 4:00 to divulge some details about the "major news on developments regarding the Pac-12 Network". Video here of the press conference.
Scott says they are creating a national PAC-12 network, along with 6 PAC-12 regional networks. One for each region of the conference, Oregon, Washington, NorCal, SoCal, Arizona, Mountain.
"Every football, and men's basketball game will be available for viewing"
All the details are here.
Gregg Doyel of CBSSports.com makes some great points about the Longhorn Network, the best being a call out of Texas A&M President. A blurb from the outstanding piece...
I guess I'll start with Texas A&M and its comical level of hypocrisy. The Aggies' president, R. Bowen Loftin, issued a condescendingly dense statement that could come only from a school president, one who wears a bowtie and uses a first initial for a first name....
Money Money Money Money, Money
A good read from the Kansas City Star about the Big 12's "Lesser Lights"
OSU Golfer Kevin Tway signs with Nike. Congrats Kevin, no can we have some free clubs? Shoes? No? Ok.
Dan Bailey is excited to be a part of the Dallas Cowboy competition for kicking duties. Beat out David Buehler and Kris Brown and the job is his. Seems like a no brainer to me, as long as he shows up and delivers in camp.
Crimson and Cream Machine must be wanting something from us. They've got OSU at the top of their Secondary Position Rankings. For the millionth time guys, we're not letting you sit in our suite at Bedlam!

I'm normally not a Gregg Doyel fan, but this article makes some interesting points
First, everyone ignores the fact that Texas wanted Texas A&M in on the network (the Lonestar network, i believe). They are so fucking pissed, yet they could have easily had a piece if their AD wasn’t a dickhead. Secondly, both OU and A&M were cool when they received 30-70% more money than the remained of the conference (along with UT), but now, according to OU and A&M fans the entire conference should be on our knees thanking them because they have the stones to stand up to Texas. While OU has a bit of a point, seeing as how they were not invited to join Texas in a network, A&M should be pissed that their athletic director is a stupid fucker who screwed them out of a network deal and a shit ton of money. So what this proves is, OU still sucks, just not a bad as A&M (though after the last few weeks I don’t think anyone is disputing that fact).
