Daily Bullets (March 24): Fix, Plott Finish Runners-Up at NCAA Championships

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

OSU Bullets

• The PFB gang (minus yours truly and Steven) was in Kansas City for the NCAA Tournament. Marshall had the recap of a tough Day 3 which so both Daton Fix and Dustin Plott finish as national runners-up. [PFB]

Daton Fix wasn’t required to do media following his loss Saturday night, but credit to him, he answered questions with stitches in his right brow.

• Dekota laid out Five Thoughts on OSU’s 2023-24 wrestling season on the whole. [PFB] • Fix received “about eight” stitches in that ugly gash that caused blood delays. [The Oklahoman]

• OSU Baseball evened up its series with a ranked TCU team thanks to a perfect game from Brian Holiday. [PFB]

• And the Cowgirls earned a nice road win over BYU by way of run rule. [PFB]

• A reminder of the fun, low stakes things that social media can be. (Also, OSU winning as of typing)

Non-OSU Bullets

• Meanwhile, in Jayhawk country.

Yeah. The dunk is bullshit.. or as Bill Self would say, a “Dick move” – but I’ve never seen the ball throw land before! pic.twitter.com/y1G0asimS3

• Great thread on a scary line of thinking about AI and our willingness to outsource our thinking to it.

If writing is thinking (as I believe it to be) the last thing you want to outsource to AI is the first draft because that’s where the initial gathering of thoughts happens. It’s why first drafts are hard. That difficulty signals their importance.
