8:49 p.m. - The Oklahoma Sooners were the big story coming out of 2011 Big 12 Football Media Days and a quick scan of the front pages of college football's top sites prove it:
3:23 p.m. - Coach Stoops and the Sooner players are likely running on fumes at this point after fielding questions from the media for the past five hours. As Kenny Mossman pointed out, there's simply no way to prepare for this day. It's just a grind.
3:10 p.m. - The Big 12 released a PDF of Coach Stoops' interview with the media in Dallas. Stoops discusses the progression of Landry Jones, dealing with tragedy, replacing DeMarco Murray, unseating the SEC, players returning instead of leaving early for the NFL Draft and the 2000 team during the session.
2:37 p.m. - As promised, we asked OU's players a few of the questions written by Sooner fans on our official Facebook page. In fact, they even answered your questions first, as we caught them during a little down time before they ran through the media gauntlet:
