Happy Friday afternoon, Sooner nation!
I’m going to begin with a bit of personal news: August will be my last month with Crimson & Cream Machine. I’ve enjoyed my time here a lot, and I regret having to give it up, but I know whomever takes my place will hit the ground running like AD going off-tackle.
The reason for my departure is that my schedule with 107.7 The Franchise is going to be jam-packed this fall, especially once basketball season starts. We’ve got a lot planned, and I’m hoping that you guys will listen! Keep in touch with me on Twitter.
Without further ado, here’s today’s edition of Hot Links:

- Last night, the Pardon My Take twitter account reported that Oklahoma State star receiver James Washington had suffered a hernia injury and would be out at least the first four games. Lauren Rew of The Franchise reels that report in a bit:
Re @PardonMyTake, source tells me James Washington had ab pain; ultrasound discovered old hernia. No surgery now, will try to play thru it.
