OSU Bullets

• Cowboys open a narrow favorite over the Sooners in Bedlam – but don’t have the best odds to win the championship game

• OSU leading the league in total offense, rushing offense and being top-three in scoring during conference play is amazing after their slow start – had to fact check just to believe it.

• What Mike Gundy had to say at his media luncheon – most notable comments were around being bearish on future Bedlam games

• Malcolm Rodriguez was heinously snubbed for the linebacker of the year award – didn’t even make it as a finalist!

• Bryce Williams had a monster slam last night:

Non-OSU Bullets

• Solid Advent resource for those celebrating (faith-based)

• I struggle with this sometimes – feels like there’s always more data/context needed:

A word of caution:

There is a certain kind of person for whom endless learning is a substitute for taking action.

If you want to be a deal-maker, better to start making deals.

You’ll make tons of mistakes, but that’s where the real learning actually happens.
