OSU Bullets

• What Mike Gundy had to say about South Dakota State on his radio show – and what South Dakota State’s head coach had to say about OSU (PFB) • Alex Hale is sticking around with the Packers (SI) • Fantastic point here by Jenni Carlson – South Dakota State is unaccustomed to the Oklahoma heat. And the 1pm start time is strategic. 

(SDSU) are coming to Stillwater next Saturday for that aforementioned 1 p.m. opener, and while the two-time defending FCS national champions appear to be a worthy adversary for OSU, the heat becomes another opponent in this matchup. The South Dakota State campus is in Brookings, and the highest high there over the past two weeks has been 84 degrees. And there’ve been way more days with highs in the 70s than the 80s.

• Only one of CBS Sports’ football analysts has OSU in the College Football Playoff – and an at-large bid at that (CBS Sports) • Kind of wild to see the renumbered sections at Boone Pickens Stadium:

Non-OSU Bullets

• Subway is offering $7 footlong subs until 9/8 Love this description of college football:

These are the iconic images of the sport, but to me—sincerely—it’s just as scenic when played under a gunmetal-grey November sky, with tens of thousands gathered for a game that won’t have any impact on a playoff picture or trophy chase, people simply gathered in defiance of fall’s gathering clouds, cheering on their team to win today, because winning today would be enough.
