Daily Bullets (August 21) – Revised Waving Song, Late Analyst Add to Gundy’s Staff?

New State Song?

There was a funny thing the guys at EveryDayShouldBeSaturday.com were doing (via Eleven Warriors) where they translate a school’s fight song into another language via Google Translate, then translate it back to English. The results were pretty good (especially OU’s) but OSU’s sounds like it could be Oklahoma’s new state song.

I went waving song + OSU chant from English -> Hebrew -> English:

The State of Oklahoma! The State of Oklahoma!
Sing your praises tonight;
To let you know where we’re going,
For orange and black fights
We will sing out the value of the whole earth
And shouted: Kay! Ki Ye!
In the books of glory we will write your name, the state of Oklahoma!

go! go! Go Fox! Go Fox! Go Fox! go!
Oh! S! U
OSU, the largest in the country!
OSU, the team that has the spirit to go and the will to win.
Make a score and we shout, “Beat OU!”
OSU, it’s orange and black we cheering for victory today,
So it says: O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A! Country! university! [GoogleTranslate]

What’s better – “Oklahoma! Country! University!” or “to let you know where we’re going – for orange and black fights”?

A Change of Heart

While Gary Gibbs coached at Oklahoma from 1975-1994, he could soon find himself on the other side of the Bedlam battle.

Go Pokes learned that former OU head coach Gary Gibbs will be back this week to visit with Gundy and Gibbs may be hired to serve as an analyst or consultant for the Cowboys this season as Gibbs is looking to return to coaching.  [GoPokes]

After floating around major college football and the NFL, Gibbs would be a wealth of defensive knowledge for the Pokes.

OSU and NCAA Notes

Tramel looks at Hovland’s amateur title win….Cowboy receiver Landon Wolf placed on scholarship….This was fun – candid college football coaches share thoughts….Details on Greg Richmond’s return to Stillwater were fun….Scott Wright interviewed Cowboy receiver L.C. Greenwood

Heartbreaker here for the former Poke.

This shot from Kevin Dougherty for a @PGATOUR card.

An absolute gut-wrenching result.

Catch Dez’s comments tonight on HBO:

Tomorrow night at 10 PM on @HBO’s Hard Knocks, you’ll see exactly what happened on Dez Bryant’s FA visit to Cleveland.

Dez to Hue Jackson: “I’m just looking for realness.”

Jackson: “The last two years have been hell, but it’s going to take guys like you who love to compete…"

For a guy who has struggled to pick the right guy first, he’s done a great job of having the right guy on the roster.

…and here’s why you won’t hear Texas is back from me until Texas finds a quarterback (and he wins nine games).

Colt McCoy started 53 games at Texas from 2006-2009.

Here are the QB starts since, as Sam Ehlinger prepares to take over (permanently?) at UT:

David Ash 22
Shane Buechele 19
Case McCoy 16
Tyrone Swoopes 14
Garrett Gilbert 14
Jerrod Heard 10
Sam Ehlinger 6

Record: 53-48

Urban appears likely to be safe.

Two sources connected to investigation said likely recommendation to Ohio State President Michael Drake is suspension for Urban Meyer, Columbus Dispatch reports. Drake could opt for “time served” punishment since Meyer has been removed from football program for more than 2 weeks

Yesterday on PFB

• Cowboys were left out of the preseason AP Poll
• Boone weighs in with his preseason predictions
• Take a look at OSU’s recent history with the AP Poll
• Ranking the difficulty of OSU’s football home games in 2018
• Boone recaps OSU’s overseas tour

Stuff I’m Consuming

• Finished this football read on understanding more about what’s going on around the ball that Adam Lunt recommended in a pod last year. A good, 290-page read on understanding more nuance and terminology around the game (i.e. pirate stunt, bump-and-run coverage, etc.).
• Remembering Carmelo Anthony’s time in OKC
• Watched “Parks and Recreation” season 3 (for the tenth time) while herding kiddos this weekend – gosh it’s a masterpiece. From Chris Traeger with the flu to Ron Swanson working in the round desk to Tom’s glamping, just hilarious.
