Let's send Oklahoma some money.
I sent out a link to the central and western Oklahoma Red Cross last night. Here that is: http://www.redcross.org/ok/oklahoma-city.
Here are some other places you can send money to help folks in Oklahoma who lost everything:
The Oklahoma Baptist Disaster Relief
OK, be careful! Donate to organizations you know and trust.
The bottom of this link has some tips at the bottom of this post. I suggest reading and following. Personally, I've donated to the Red Cross.
Let's do what we can do.
Need a little more than a pep talk for ol' Morehouse?
Say hello to a beautiful lady and her wonderful dog. (My allergies are really kicking in right now. Here's another link to a little longer version.)
Late link: The Oklahoman also has a post with several other local charities.
Headlong Hawkeye
-- Freshmen will report to Iowa City the first week of June.
Will anyone jump right into the starting lineup? We were asked that on the podcast and my vote went to St. Louis WR Derrick Mitchell Jr. He's put together and a great athlete. Iowa needs WRs. OC Greg Davis and WR coach Bobby Kennedy have said the help sign is up.
Remember, LB Reggie Spearman won't be 17 until the middle of camp.
Here's a link to the "Hello, my name is . . ." series for a quick refresher.
Big Ten Linking
-- Former Oklahoma State QB Wes Lunt is eyeing Illinois for his transfer. It'd be a great landing spot. Lunt played for the Cowboys as a freshman. Illinois will lose senior QB Nate Scheelhaase after this season. It's a fit, but not a done deal.
Matt Daniels of the News-Gazette wrote a post on quarterbacks who transferred into the Big Ten. Some of these names are really interesting.
The only QB I can remember transferring into Iowa who saw the field was Matt Eyde. He didn't do a lot after transferring in from Michigan State back in the early 1990s, when in-conference transfers weren't eligible for B1G scholarships and paid their own way.
National Thinking
It's 100 days until college football kicks off.
So close, yet so far.
Pretty cool post from ESPN.com, "100 numbers for 100 days."
The 100th Rose Bowl will be played this season.
