Daily Bullets (Apr. 12): Kenny Gajewski on Expectations

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

Three Thoughts

• Kenny Gajewiski talked about how tough this year has been to live up to expectations (PFB)

• Mike Gundy’s predicting a 32-team super league by 2027 (TulsaWorld)

• The interest around Cowgirl Softball (obviously pairing it with Sooner Softball) was massive this week, record-setting:

On Wednesday night, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State set a new NCAA softball regular-season record for single-game attendance, with 9,259 people packed into Devon Park to see the second-ranked Sooners and 18th-ranked Pokes do battle. [HCS]

Two Quotes

• If you’re drafting phrases you’d like to hear from portal entrants, this from incoming running back Freddie Brock would be up there: 

“…I’m not just here to be part of the roster I’m here to compete, make plays, and help this team win games. I want to leave a mark in Stillwater and earn that respect every time I touch the field.”

[SI]

• What a view: 

“It’s fantastic to see how far we’ve come. From The Farm to the football stadium is a 7 minute drive… It just takes 40 yrs to get there. Enjoy the week. We are!”

One Question

• If you could pick any (non-Garth Brooks) option to play a concert at OSU, who would it be? 

Non-OSU Bullets

• How national parks impact the economy • Middle-aged man trading cards are going wild in Japan

• Enjoyed the heck out of this fiction read – heard it described as Hunger Games meets Star Wars, accurate

• This Owen Wilson show looks amazing:

First teaser for ‘STICK’, a new golf comedy series starring Owen Wilson.
