Oklahoma State and Sports Illustrated

  SI to release part 1 in a five-part story on Oklahoma State tomorrow AM; normally I'd say wait and see, but the fact that the OSU AD has already come out and apologized makes me think there's something to this.

  Nothing surprising about this so far.

  Click on the article, and we have to watch an advertisement to read now? Not that it's hard to get around, start it, press mute then go to another screen while I wait 30 seconds. It's just annoying.

  Yeah I was like WTF... just went and read the article on my phone haha fuck ads.
  
  Some of the stuff in there seems like its untrue but I'm sure a lot of the stuff did happen.

  They misspelled one of the players names in the video. Bangup reporting, SI.

  Just read all the way through part 1 finally. Pretty interested in reading the rest of the series as well. Seems like some deep shit. All of that stuff is wrong, but damn, dont these guys have anything better to do than try to take down programs.
  
  Hope Les gets hit though.
