Leading up to the college football season kickoff, we will give you previews of the 25 teams that you, the readers, voted to be most worthy of writing about. Now, No. 25 Oklahoma…
Inspired by Tim Ryan, here’s a gallery of top college football coaches sporting Mike Gundy’s legendary mullet:
Four college basketball coaches have been arrested after being charged by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney with various counts of bribery and fraud.

Michigan beat Oklahoma State in what was one of the more entertaining games of the NCAA tournament’s first round. The Cowboys fought to the very end, getting quick buckets in the final minute and forcing Michigan to hit their free throws. Even after Michigan grabbed a four-point lead, Oklahoma State went down shooting:
Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy, who gets his hair cut like that on purpose, was asked a question about parity in college football during his weekly press conference today. Instead of issuing a boring answer, Gundy took the question and ran with it:

Five years into the grand experiment, and the Longhorn Network is kind of a disaster. It’s losing money hand-over-fist: reportedly $48 million since its launch, with annual losses hovering in the millions. Subscriber fees are painfully low, and ESPN is locked into this thing for another 15 years. And according to…
Iowa State took care of things at home tonight against Oklahoma State with a 58-50 win, but that scoreline doesn’t include a Jameel McKay dunk that officials ruled a miss after the ball went through the hoop, bounced off Cowboys defender Anthony Allen’s skull and back out through the top. Maybe getting dunked on isn’t…
