If case you forgot, Bryant spent some time hanging out with Deion Sanders last spring. That alone is not an NCAA violation—but probably should have been (more on that in a second)—but the NCAA started asking a lot of questions, so naturally Bryant assumed that he was in trouble. He panicked and told the investigators that he hadn't met with Sanders. When asked, Sanders told the truth and said he had. Now Bryant, a junior, is suspended until September of next year, which effectively ends his college career.

That seems a little harsh, doesn't it? Yes, I know lying is bad and examples must be made, but it's not like he was lying to cover up a murder. Or any crime for that matter. He was confused about a set of rules that no one on the planet fully understands and he screwed up. A missed game or two might have sent a better message about the sanctity of amateur athletics, since the end result of this suspension is that Bryant will almost certainly go pro—and probably never finish his degree. Yet, the NCAA acts like they did him a favor by not banning him permanently.

But there is another issue here: Why did he assume that he had violated an NCAA rule? Maybe because meeting with a former NFL player, who is not an alum of your school, to talk about how he can help you prepare for life as a pro athlete doesn't exactly feel like it's on the up and up. Sanders, who is an NFL Network commentator during the season, has built a nice little side business "mentoring" current and future pros on how to survive life in the NFL. That also includes a pre-combine prep school, called "Prime U," that is meant to help players improve their draft standing, but also learn tips on "managing off-the-field lifestyle." Except it's not clear that Deion's advice is really helping anyone.

As a future Hall of Fame cornerback, Sanders probably has some unique insights about the position, but at least four cornerbacks who participated in the camp last spring went undrafted, while only two got picked. One of the actual stars of the camp was Michael Crabtree, who got some spectacularly bad advice from his agent Eugene Parker, who just happened to be the agent of ... Deion Sanders. (Sanders claims that Parker was never present while meeting with Bryant, and that may be true, but that was the main reason for the NCAA's concern about their relationship. Parker has reeled in other clients associated with Prime U—like Ohio's Mark Parson.)

Now Dez Bryant is ruined because he assumed that even talking to Sanders was a bit shady and Sanders failed to properly assure him it wasn't. Deion's intentions may very well be good—and not just a ploy to get his buddy Parker new clients—but that doesn't mean he's doing these players any favors. Nor does it excuse the short-sightedness of the NCAA. But perhaps he should keep his hands off college footballers until they actually are ineligible, instead of just making them that way.

Shortly after Mosley left the team, it was learned that he had been accused of raping a woman in his dorm room this past August, resulting in the alleged victim taking out a protective order against him. Now it's being reported that a different woman accused Mosley of raping her back in March, but charges were not pressed as the woman did not want to cooperate with investigators.

Tulsa World sets out the alleged details of the March incident, taken from the police report:

The report says the woman went into Mosley's room at Bost Hall late on the night of March 6 and waited for his arrival.

When he arrived, she thought he was drunk because of his behavior and loudness, which she said was the opposite of his "normal shy self."

The woman told campus police that she told Mosley "no" and tried to push him off when he initiated physical contact, according to the report.

She said he pinned her hands above her head and broke her zipper when he pulled off her jeans before forcing intercourse on her, the document says.

The paper also cites a source within the team who claimed that Mosley and the woman continued dating "for two months" after the alleged incident. The police report stated that she didn't want to lay charges for fear of costing Mosley his scholarship. The investigation into the August incident is apparently still ongoing.

In actual football news, the ninth-ranked Mosley-less Cowboys will take on thirteenth-ranked Georgia momentarily.

PREGAME: This is a real exciting game, because both teams are just SIX wins away from immortality.

PREGAME: Well college basketball immortality anyways. (Obviously.) I'm also excited though because this is my first ever basketball live blog. Famous baseball player Evan Longoria once live-blogged a NBA playoff game for Bugs & Cranks though, and he gave me some tips while he was getting ready to save America's ass in the WBC this weekend.

PREGAME: I don't really have a rooting interest in this game, so feel free to try to win me to your side in the comments. My bracket's already pretty much shot because I had VCU going to the Elite Eight.

PREGAME: Lot of Orange on the floor today. To get ready I got a donut with Orange Sprinkles this morning. I always have an orange marinating in Gin, but I'm trying to wait for halftime for that.

PREGAME: Games almost underway — we'll play two 20-minute halves, and then maybe six or more 5-minute "overtime" periods. (Basketball version of Extra Innings.)

PREGAME: Starting lineups from the University of Dayton Arena in lovely Dayton Ohio — Hopson, Smith CHISM, Maze, Prince for Tennessee. Eaton, Harris, Moses, Anderson, and Page for Oklahoma St.

19:44, 1st: Oklahoma State takes the early lead 3-0 on a trey by Anderson. Did you know the team that scores first in the NCAA Tournament wins 69% of the time?

18:56, 1st: It's raining TRIPLES! (Three-point baskets, that is.) Now 6-3 OSU.

17:45, 1st: Make that 6-6. Nothing but threes so far from these teams that obviously like to party DOWNTOWN.

16:42, 1st: Finally someone drops a DEUCE. 8-6 OSU after the DEUCE dropped by Eaton, younger cousin of former Jazz great Mark Eaton

First commercial break, 15:32, 1st: 10-9 OSU.

UPDATE: Old school live-blogging is too much typing, I'm going to attempt to switch to CoverItLive. I was advised to disable comments, but I usually do the opposite of what I'm advised. I trust y'all will be on your best behavior, don't disappoint me.

2) Problems with Being No. 1 Building on a Final Four run in 2004 and a Sweet 16 appearance in 2005, Oklahoma State signed the No. 1 ranked recruiting class for 2005. The class included: Byron Eaton, Terrel Harris, Gerald Green (entered draft out of high school), Roderick Flemings (avg. 16.6 PPG for Hawaii this year, his fourth school), Kenny Cooper (unexpectedly transferred to La. Tech before fall 2007 semester, where he was suspended in January 2009 for violating team rules), Torre Johnson (dismissed from the team after one year, transferred to Wisconsin-Milwaukee and was kicked off the team after an arrest last season) and Keith Brumbaugh (never played in a game for OSU due to flagged test scores, been in trouble with the law, currently playing for Sioux Falls in the NBA D-League) replaced Green. The class obviously never lived up to the hype and now the only two players left from that class, Eaton and Harris, are making their first NCAA tournament appearance.

3) Fucking Idiot Coach Ford did not make it out of his first year at Oklahoma State without controversy. As his team struggled early in the year the local press took notice of Ford's colorful language. This all came to a head when Ford audibly called Obi Muonelo a "fucking idiot" during a nationally televised game against Kansas. This started the debate of whether or not Ford had lost control of the team. However, after taking a drubbing from Texas in their next game, Ford showed his support in Muonelo by replacing him in the starting line-up with Freshman Keiton Paige. After this change the Cowboys went on a six game winning streak and finished the season winning eight of 10. If only I responded as well after being called a fucking idiot my father would be a happier man. – Joey_Graham_is_my_co-pilot and Little Lebowski Urban Achiever

TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS

1) He puts Candace Parker to shame While the blogosphere has been blowing up over ESPN The Magazine's cover story that discussed Parker's "C cups", it should be noted that she probably didn't have the biggest breasts out of the basketball players at Tennessee at the time. That "honor" would go to Brian Williams, who is now listed at a svelte 6'10" 267 lbs, but back in high school he weighed close to 400 lbs. He was able to drop over 100 pounds after getting off the Michael Phelps diet minus all the needless exercise.

2) Baller Vol Freshman Renaldo Woolridge is not only the son of former Notre Dame All-American Orlando Woolridge. He is also an aspiring rapper. Or at least he was until he decided to pose on his MySpace rapping page wearing a Tennessee uniform, which would be an NCAA violation. He has since taken down the image, but if you hear someone beatboxing in the Vols locker room you know who it might be.

3) Supersize Me According to McDonald's website, there are 23 McDonald's in Knoxville (for an estimated population of 183,546 residents or a ridiculous 1 for every 7,980 residents), but freshman Scotty Hopson is the Vols first McDonald's All-American since Vincent Yarbrough came to Knoxville in 1998. [Note: This heading probably could have worked for 1) as well.] — Rush The Court

Fourth Quarter

11:17 — Also, I don't do this enough (or, well, ever) but we got some pretty solid hits on the bingo sheet, so here's how we did tonight, based on what you and I saw tonight:

11:16 — Graham Harrell's postgame interview with Salters shows great promise for whenever he's finished with puberty. Maybe he can hire Cole Hamels' speech coach, if that doesn't endanger his NCAA eligibility.

11:13 — We're under two minutes and they sneak in Obama's playoff system advocacy.

11:12 — Someone remind me again why we need a college football playoff when we have analysts competing against each other, trying to outslobber one another all over certain one-loss teams.

11:10 — It appears every one-loss team has a marquee win over Ohio State. You keep using that word "marquee." I do not think it means what you think it means.

11:09 — And with that touchdown, the score goes to schfifty five, before the PAT.

20 56

11:06 — Oh, and Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford are Heisman hopefuls. Why don't they just get it over with and rename the trophy "The Best Quarterback On A Top Five Team" or, a name with a bit more marketing sizzle, The Weinkecrouch.

11:05 — Graham Harrell can go back to the sidelines and try to win more Heisman support than John Parker Wilson by launching a Facebook group or whatever the shit the young kids do these days. Taylor Potts will take over for tonight as the new quarterman.

11:02 — Glimmer gone. State punts away after three not-great offensive snaps.

11:00 — Not a touchdown for Texas Tech? I'm ... I'm not sure how to respond. Okie State keeps a glimmer of hope alive deep in their subcockle area with good field position.

10:59 — Lisa Salters REPORTS. It appears that the students are privy to breaking the bleachers, so in the event they bust a part of the stadium, they carry it to the top of the stadium like a drugged out punk rocker, leaving them with ample room to jump around and get down.

10:58 — Tech gets the ball back, and it should be mentioned that, with 7½ minutes left, they haven't punted yet.

10:55 — TTU lineman Brandon Carter cleans up well:

Surf's up, brah.

10:52 — This is just a friendly reminder from Best Buy: HD television can replace your dog. Help control the pet population by getting a flat-screen TV instead.

10:47 — Another touchdown. Which is basically:

20 49

10:44 — Hmm. That took considerably more than five plays. But this is Price Is Right rules, and I beat the ethnic gentleman who doesn't understand our customs and said "1,000" and the probably-a-whore college girl who said "one dollar," so I get to play a pricing game.

10:41 — Let me close my eyes and assume Tech makes first down after first down, reading midfield after about five plays.

10:39 — Is this THE DAGGER I see before me? Darcel McBath picks off Robinson's pass on the 4-yard line.

10:38 — There's the Cowboys' mascot, Pistol Pete. He doesn't look good at basketball at all.

Third Quarter

10:34 — Even though the OK Statesmen are down 22 with a quarter remaining, this AC/DC music just makes you want to rock like Woodstock, so why even leave the house and be social?

10:33 — Herbstreit takes a jab at Colby Whitlock's pink mouthguard. Don't worry, Herbie. For not conforming, he'll get the anal rape hazing that's coming to him.

10:26 — Why, yes, that's Crabtree's third touchdown catch. I didn't even realize you were counting. Musberger jokes about sawing the Heisman in half for Harrell and Crabree. I suppose that means you need to get out a machete, cut a chip in half, and mark that one down too.

20 42

10:21 — In non-barbecue news, Texas Tech is gaining positive yards on passing plays. Crazy, idn'it?

10:20 — Holy mesquite rub. Musberger just recommended a place to eat in Lubbock. Mark that down with, like, three chips.

10:19 — So, if you aren't already sick of that Allstate commercial where the guys dressed up as pathetic tailgating cheerleaders, then get ready to change your mood from "annoyed" to "ENRAGED" as a non-Bob Lobaw law blog condemns the commercial for some highly specific insurance-related reason.

10:16 — State narrows the lead to 14 points after Hunter's touchdown run. Now then, let's again discuss that Sooners/Red Raiders game and how awesome it will be. As soon as Oklahoma State bumbles the PAT snap.

20 35

10:16 — Another fine throw by Zac Robinson. Now, which Disney Channel heartthrob is he again?

10:13 — Look, positive yardage for OK State. A couple of large gains forces Texas Tech to call a timeout and see if they can somehow have their linebackers run curl routes.

10:12 — It's not too early to talk about Texas Tech at Oklahoma in a couple week. Musberger said so. Speaking of football, Dez Bryant scampers for about 30 yards. Kidding! T'was a holding infraction.

10:09 — We're a couple points away from a Spurrierian feat of sportsmanship. Harrell to Crabtree puts the lead to 21 — which also the number of first downs they have so far.

14 35

10:06 — Texas Tech: They just, um, keep getting first downs, don't they.

10:02 — Probably not the decision I'd have done, but Brandon Pettigrew opted to fumble the ball after the catch. Me, I'd rather hold onto it, but Tech scoops up the ball at midfield and will score a touchdown in about three or so minutes.

10:00 — Ooooooooooklahoma State will start with the ball in the second half.

Halftime Entertainment

The reason this is compelling is because they didn't consult George Lucas on the choreography.

Second Quarter

9:39 — The last second Hail Mary worked pretty well. I mean, it made it to the end zone. That counts for something, right? No? It counts for zero points? Oh well. It still was a good throw.

9:34 — After a couple mentions, ABC drops the moving picture evidence of Gundy's postgame rant, asking in the most brazen way for a feature story about him in the newspaper.

9:33 — What great separation by Dez Bryant from his defender, which was almost as impressive as the separation by Dez Bryant's hands from the football. I got a crazy hunch that this is your halftime score.

9:31 — How about another touchdown? Sure, don't mind if I do. Whatever makes ROTC do more push-ups.

14 28

9:30 — There's a quick shot at Craig James's son Adam, a freshman on the Texas Tech team. If James were Lou Holtz, there's no way he could say anything bad about Tech.

9:27 — Wow, that was fast. There's only a minute left in the game, so Tech felt it might be good for someone to use a timeout at this point. ABC has some goddamn commercials to air.

9:26 — Oh, hey, guess what? Yep, another Crabtree first down, this one landing inside the five.

9:24 — Wait just a cotton plant-filming minute. Crabs don't grow on trees! #6 to #5 goes for a first down.

9:23 — Charlie Weis and Mark Mangino never played college football. You could never tell by looking at them. I thought they were both blue chip wide receivers.

9:21 — "Hi, Kelsey Grammer? You want to make another thousand bucks on your Frasier charcater? Okay, take a sip of this strange soft drink. You can spit it back out later. Theenks."

9:19 — Wait. They STILL make episodes of America's Funniest Home Videos? Is there really a need for this anymore? More to the point, how can someone pay attention for 60 minutes of little kids inflicting groin trauma on mildly suspecting uncles when this nation gets bored with that kind of stuff on YouTube after 30 seconds?

9:16 — If the football thing doesn't work out for Keith Toston, he can sell his name to a company that makes s'more ingredients. But for now, his goal line touchdown brings OKSU back in the game.

14 21

9:15 — Oh, I KNOW WHAT THAT IS. Oklahoma State has their own version of Sportscaster Thought Bingo. Man, those guys steal all sorts of ideas. They took Tech's idea for a horsebacked mascot, and now they want to lampoon Musberger and Herbstreit in the format of a geezer game where prizes like coffee makers and wicker furniture can be won.

9:13 — What in the name of all that is complementary? OK State holds up a play board with more clashing colors and letters that would make Warhol blush.

9:11 — Oklahoma State responds with a great drive inside the 10-yard line anchored by a great Kendall Hunter run (he already has 70 yards on eight touches), but his offense isn't nearly as pass happy, so we don't care.

9:07 — Lisa Salters reports on Crabtree's upbringing, and how it was never easy for him ... to decide whether he wanted to be a quarterback, safety, or wide receiver. Hey, we've all been there!

9:03 — Did I forget about the slant pass? They also throw slant passes. It's America's favorite amateur football duo, Harrell to Crabtree. The only problem is that Crabtree doesn't yet have a Dungeons & Dragons racial nickname. I'll stick with Orc until further notice.

7 21

9:00 — I've concluded that big media types have a pedophiliac attraction toward offenses that pass the ball a lot, because they're unconventional and sexy and would look good in a pair of overalls. Think about it. They loved Hawaii's run-and-shoot. They like any mid-major's spread attack. Texas Tech has had a pass-happy offense for a while, and they're eating up the checkdowns and sh___le passes and crossing routes. Here, TTU's series continues to be built on short passes that turn into first downs. They're already inside the 10.

8:58 — An OSU penalty lets Texas Tech get a free shot to ... toss a shovel pass. Not sure why he did that when he could've gone for the sexier and less reliable but more dangerous shuffle pass.

First Quarter

8:55 — Fade to commercial. Nothing goes together better than ACDC and footage of cotton plants.

8:52 — A third down throw to Eric Morris extends the series, and somewhere Legolas is smiling.

8:50 — Punter/goalie Matt Fodge line drives the kick past the returner and it lands inside the 10-yard line for a net punt of 71 yards. So now Tech just gets to put extra yardage on the box score.

8:48 — On a huge 3rd and 8 play (as opposed to inconsequential third down plays, which is every one but this one), the Cowboys must take a timeout. I have nothing else to say on this, except I just saw an OK State player with the last name "Youman." There's a player who never got the impression that coaches forgot his name, but instead just pronounced it incorrectly. His childhood friend Jeff Heythere knows what it's like.

8:46 — Eric Morris, who caught the touchdown, has the nickname "Morris The Elf." You play one MMORPG during film session, and you're marked for life.

8:45 — Guess what. A first-and-goal passing touchdown. I know!

7 14

8:43 — Graham The Cracker keeps the ball in the pocket for a fruitfly's eternity then dumps it underneath to Woods, who finishes off a long 22-yard play with a spin move. I thought spin moves only worked in Madden.

8:41 — Dammit. Now I want to play the original Super Mario Brothers. Would it trouble the Big XII to install a few question blocks in the red zone?

8:40 — While they're reviewing a catch, Texas Tech wins my heart a jillion times over with the marching band rendition of "Super Mario Brothers Level 1-1 Sonata," or whatever in this wondrous earth it's called.

8:37 — All right, football-knowing people. Is it a "shovel pass" or "shuffle pass?" Or is it both? Whatever the correctness, Harrell tosses it to Shannon Woods for a first down. (Maybe it's a Schimmel Pass, in honor of cancer-surviving comedian Robert Schimmel, although this seems only moderately likely.)

8:35 — All these CMA Awards commercials is going to make me hate country music by the end of the night. I mean more so.

8:33 — Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson is from Littleton, Colorado. No, he didn't go to Columbine. But he did have a first down taken away because his linemen felt like cheating. And there they punt.

8:29 — Ha. Musberger talked to a Texas Tech student earlier this week who said in the last two weeks he's gone to zero classes but has gotten great seats at football games. Perhaps he was skipping classes out of some kind of solidarity with the football team.

8:26 — Harrell gets the Reddish Colored Raiders on the board with a fade throw to Edward Britton, and Musberger is unable to parlay that great catch into a compliment about Michael Crabtree. (give him time.)

7 7

8:25 — They might as well just keep throwing screen passes to Batch. It's working considerably better than third down fumbles.

8:24 — Baron Batch is not the name of a local cookie company, he's the guy that ran for 38 yards down the right sideline.

8:23 — Not a great sign. Harrell is struggling to not fall down under his own strength. But he regains his motor skills and valiantly throws a 2-yard out pass.

8:17 — And Hunter completes the quick series with a touchdown. OR WAS IT? They're reviewing to see if he broke the invisible strawberry syrup covered plane of the end zone. And after looking it, yes, he obviously touched it down.

7 0

8:16 — Kendall Hunter runs up the middle for about 25 yards, and Tech is confused by this strange way of moving the ball.

8:15 — No wonder Graham Harrell throws so much. He even has trouble handing the ball off. The Cowboys pounce on the 3rd and 1 fumble and the field position is so ridiculously low, you'd think we're practically GIVING it away!

8:14 — The Techsters start with the ball, and begin with a run. One minute into the game and they've already exhausted their running plays.

8:12 — Lisa Salters interviews Tech coach Mike Leach, noting how laidback he is. That could also just be mild sedatives in the Gatorade.

8:09 — Who is that mysterious Masked Woman riding a horse? Oh, they said it was Ashley Hartzog. Now the supervillians will terrorize her family. Way to be, ABC.

8:07 — Catching highlights of #1 Alabama's overtime win at LSU. With three losses, this puts LSU's national championship hopes from "mild" to "still better than anyone in the Big Ten."

8:04 — Budget cuts have hit ESPN/ABC pretty hard, and the only CD they have (to pimp) is AC/DC's Black Ice. What tough times we live in.

Pre-Game Babble

Texas Tech must be so confident about this game because their fans are more worried about who stole who's mascot idea. Oklahoma State's "Spirit Rider," introduced in the 80s, while Tech's "Masked Rider" was an official mascot in 1954. In the Southern plans of America, only one school is allowed to have the idea of a fun personality riding a lovable horse. Everything else is plagiarism.

So if Texas Tech gets the crazy idea of scoring 50 points, and Oklahoma State also wants to score 50, then Texas Tech will win by default because they thought of it first.

I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a bingo card today:

It's not confirmed through him, but there's a report that Galloway's daughter is in the Girls Of The Big 12 issue. And even worse ... she's representing Oklahoma State.

Rumors ran rampant throughout the internet that one of the OSU women featured was actually Sunni Kate Galloway, a daughter of OU head baseball coach Sunny Golloway. We've finally been able to verify this with an independent source, and are now proud to bring you The Lost Ogle's version of the Playboy picture.

No official confirmation one way or another, but we suppose, when the Sooners and Cowboys meet, that could be called "bulletin board material."

Girls Of The Big 12 Are Hot, Probably Good At Baseball [The Lost Ogle]

This somewhat old — from October — video, via Every Day Should Be Saturday, features two, um, casual Oklahoma State fans just kind of chilling, not giving a damn.

Frankly, this video makes us a little uncomfortable, thanks mostly to the douchebags filming it, who seem to have the whole, "Whoa, broseph, check it out: Drunk old poor people!" (The idiot jumping behind them at the end is particularly egregious.) That said, we're still not sure one of those guys isn't Eddie Sutton.

Oklahoma State Fans Don't Give A Damn [Every Day Should Be Saturday]

No one has complained publicly about seeing Sutton water the plants outside the school, which has to mean that no one saw him do it, because seeing Eddie Sutton's johnson is something you'd have to assume that anyone would complain about it.

The video was taken 14 months ago, and at least one policeman was unable to confirm the nature of the bottle that Sutton was holding. "It could have been ice tea. Who knows?" said the copper.

Yeah, that's always the first thing I think when I see a guy peeing on a middle school. "He's probably all tanked up on Lipton."

Peeing on a School? [Sports. Music. Blog.]
Video Showed Sutton Holding Bottle [NewsOK.com]

That is a lot. But unfortunately for Coach Sutton, it falls just short of cracking the Top 15 in the BadJocks BAC Ranking of Athletes. It falls short of Charles Woodson's .24 when he was arrested at his own charity golf tournament, or Fairfield University football coach Joe Bernard's .23, when he rammed his car into five different parked cars.

So it's fortunate that the coach didn't cause more damage than he did. And I wish the best of luck to his rehab counselors.

"Major onions" was how Bill Raftery described it. The play-by-play guy ended the telecast by calling Morrison "the best college basketball player in the country." He may be that, I don't know, but I think JJ Redick's 41 points against the #2 team in the nation at least leaves the issue open for debate. I'm not going to write any more poems about it, though.

With 2.5 seconds on the clock, Adam Morrison hit an absurd contested fallaway shot to beat Oklahoma State. It wasn't what you'd call a precise offensive possession or good shot selection, but in a pinch, it will do. Morrison finished with 25.

And it's particularly welcome, considering that Kentucky failed miserably to provide any afternoon excitement after Duke/Texas turned into a snoozer. Going 2-of-28 from beyond the arc will do that to you. Tubby Smith will be spending the rest of his Saturday trying to get visions of red-and-white pinstriped clown pants out of his nightmares. Marco Killingsworth finished with 23 and 12 for Indiana in the win.

Meanwhile, #19 Alabama is getting hammered by Temple, 55-35 with about 13 and a half minutes to play.
