Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.
Three Thoughts
• Fascinating, candid take from CBS’ national writer about the perspective on OSU in the Big 12:
With the departures of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC, Oklahoma State is perceived as the strongest existing program — but Mike Gundy and the Cowboys have won one conference title in 19 seasons. [CBS Sports]
• Not that we all need 50 reasons to be excited 50 days from Cowboy Football starting – but No. 11 and the northwestern trips on the schedule sound awesome (PFB)
• Deion Sanders calling Mike Gundy a legend is probably a status update on how he’s perceived among his peers:
“Coach Gundy is a darned legend,” said Sanders Wednesday in a manner only he could. [PFB]
Two Quotes

• The Arizona State coach on Ollie Gordon and how he fits Mike Gundy’s playing style is spot on:
And the challenging thing is he’s a workhorse, man. He’s big. He’s strong. And he just keeps going. He just keeps going. They can keep giving him the ball. And I think that’s challenging. And he wears on you throughout a football game. And I think that’s the philosophy Coach Gundy has built there. [GoPokes 247]
One Question
• Fascinating interview question for the pregnant first lady of Cowgirl Basketball – what’s harder: coaching basketball in the Big 12 or having a newborn in-season?
Non-OSU Bullets
• A hotel in Scotland is hiring a “banter merchant” to entertain guests during a festival – what’s the market for a service to do this during an Oklahoma State football game?
