My favorite story that I've written in 3 decades of journalism. Coach Patty Gasso allowed me to do an in-depth interview: *How she met her husband Jim Gasso *Her mom's fight vs Alzheimer's *Her $1.6 million salary *How does she relax? *How long will she coach? #Sooners

Who is Patty Gasso? She is more than wins and records. She's developed hundreds of young girls into women who have become community leaders, coaches and mothers with @OU_Softball. Read @EricBaileyTW's story on the best coach of college softball's best team tulsaworld.com/sports/college…

You are only a college student once. It doesn’t matter if your team is getting killed on the field. Find a way to have fun. The shirtless section has grown in the second half. They are loud and enjoying life. #OkState

“Can I pet Ben?” Sure, go ahead! He was so fluffy. So soft. So friendly. One brief moment petting a dog can brighten anyone’s day. Kirk, I was so lucky to meet Ben. But even those who didn’t surely knew him. Thanks for sharing him. Saying prayers of comfort for you.

Brent Venables says he was texting with Bill Snyder after the Nebraska win. Snyder said "Great job, you got three, now get number four." Then, about 10 minutes later, Snyder sent another text: "But not this week." BV: "I guess he looked at the schedule." #Sooners

Kyler Murray said his conversations with Baker Mayfield this week haven't exclusively centered on Heisman Trophy: Murray: "I asked him if I should start him on my fantasy team. He told me yeah." #Sooners

Doug Meacham on making his first fourth-down call at #OkState interim HC I forgot I was making that decision … Normally you’re over there saying ‘Let’s go for it! What are we, soft?’ Then I went ‘Oh, that’s on me.’ 😂
