Daily Bullets (Jan. 25): Cowboys Win a Top-Five Road Dual, Football Needs a Bounce-Back

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

Scores

Wrestling: OSU 22, Northern Iowa 14

Three Thoughts

• Another impressive mark on the Cowboys’ record – beating a top-five Northern Iowa squad on the road last night (PFB)

• The Cowgirls were picked to finish first in softball this season: As much as it was thought the Cowboys would run the new Big 12 in football, it feels significantly more likely that the Cowgirls will run it in softball (with apologies to traditional power Arizona) (PFB)

• This article circled the Pokes as a team that needs a bounce-back season – how true. 

This is a program capable of winning the new-look Big 12, and its fanbase will not settle for a whole lot less.

Two Quotes

• Gosh OSU and Utah seem so similar:

Most playoff rankings appearances without a playoff berth 👀

Will any of these programs finally break through & make the 12-team playoff next season? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/8ezOJqvNNX — CFB Tracker (@MatchupTracker) January 23, 2025

• Cowboy Baseball should have at least one star this year – another Poke was a third teamer:

One Question

• How are you feeling about the new coordinator hires Mike Gundy made?

Non-OSU Bullets

• Best and worst airlines in 2024

• Stop “boomerasking” (nothing to do with generations)

• What are your plans for this year? (faith-based)
