Daily Bullets (Oct. 3): Pokes’ Offense a Fit for the Sooners, Top-Ten Cowboys in the Polls

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

OSU Bullets

• Pokes climbed a couple of spots in the AP poll yesterday and held steady in the Coaches poll

• Couple of football notes: video of Mike Gundy and the gang after the big win in Waco + details that the Pokes will be playing on FS1 on Saturday

• Texas Tech comes to town on Saturday but it’s hard not to grin and check in on that team south of Oklahoma City. Stop me if this blueprint for attacking OU’s reeling defense sounds familiar:

You know the children’s book “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”? That was OU’s defense on Saturday in Fort Worth. A week after they were exposed by Kansas State, the Sooners were once again picked apart by a mobile quarterback and offense with big play ability, this time by historic statistical proportions.

• Sure did.

The best way to improve your ability to think is to spend time thinking.

One way to force yourself to slow down and think is to write. Good writing requires good thinking.

Clear writing gives poor thinking nowhere to hide, making a lack of understanding visible.
