Three Thoughts

• The Cowboys lost a tough opener to a ranked Clemson squad yesterday while the Cowgirls split the day in Florida – tough times for the rated OSU squads (PFB)

• Bill Haisten and Co. weigh in on what a successful season looks like for Mike Gundy – couldn’t agree more, it’s not improving from 2024, it’s reaching the standard set (TulsaWorld)

• Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Williams on raising their daughter, Cowgirl forward Landry Williams, right. 

“She was always pushing me to come here the whole time since we started talking,” (Williams’ fiance, Cowboy guard Connor) Dow said, “and I always told her, ‘I’m gonna go to OU just to make you mad.'”

“And I said, ‘If you go to OU, I will break up with you,’” Williams said. “Like, dead serious.”

Two Quotes

• Tyreek Hill will footrace an Olympic gold medalist sprinter: 

“This has been an ongoing thing for, quite some time now, and I mean, everybody’s seen the back and forth on social media,” Hill said of his trash talk with Lyles. “I’ve been very adamant to show people what real, true speed looks like.”

• Mike Gundy reasonably made a list of coaches that need to prove themselves: 

Pressure makes diamonds, but there’s the other end of the spectrum, too. For college football coaches with the most to prove in 2025, vast improvements are needed at the highest level.
