Football

We’ll start with a little DISRESPECT on this fine Thursday morning. Paul Myerberg at the USA Today ranked the hardest places to win in the Power 5. Now you may be thinking he’s talking about the hardest places to go on the road and beat the home team. But you’d be wrong. He’s talking about the schools where it’s hardest to win on a consistent basis. And four of the ten Big 12 schools make the list. I’ll let you guess which ones they are. (Paul Myeberg, USA Today)

In recruiting news, Wylie, TX receiver Donovan Ollie has narrowed his list of prospective schools to 6, and it includes both Kansas State and Iowa State. (Cody Daniel, diehards.com)
