Daily Bullets (Jan. 27): Big Day in Stillwater for Winter Sports, Optimism Around Cowboy Baseball

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

Scores

Wrestling: Cowboys 22, Northern Iowa 12

Three Thoughts

• Big day in winter athletics in Stillwater – John Smith’s crew faces a top-five Iowa State squad at 6pm CST and Cowboy Basketball has its best chance of getting a win (OKState.com + PFB)

• Two Pokes would make an “All-Big 12” football team for a video game – probably a homer-take but Chuba Hubbard over Deuce Vaughn  (HCS)

• Words like “elite offense” and “special…upside” breed optimism around this Cowboy Baseball squad. 

“OSU will have yet another elite offense, but this team will go as far as the pitching staff – particularly the weekend rotation – will take it. The upside here is special.”

Two Quotes

• This Mike Boynton quote after the TCU game tells what the Pokes are working towards.

“Bottom line is we gotta keep working until we find the result that we want. Tonight we came up short again. Lost to a good team, but at some point we gotta be able to knock this tree down.” [PFB]

• More Zac Robinson chatter: 

REPORT

Per: @RapSheet

“Zac Robinson is one of the busiest coordinator candidates with active interest from the #Saints, #Steelers, #Patriots, #Raiders, among others.”

Gonna be tough to land Zac Robinson. But he’s my number 1 OC candidate. pic.twitter.com/vAsQwXhjcc

One Question

• If OSU has a lead with five minutes left against West Virginia, is this the game they hold onto it? 

Non-OSU Bullets
