• The Pokes handled the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats at Gallagher-Iba last night – sending them back to Daytona Beach, Florida with a 103-77 loss (PFB)

• Enjoyed this take from a college football analyst on new defensive coordinator Skylar Cassity:

“Oklahoma State has got itself a really good coordinator that’s proven himself at several places,” (Justin) Na said. “At every location he’s arrived at, including Denton, there’s been a fairly immediate amount of winning that’s come with it.” [GoPokes247]

• Welcome to college athletics in 2025: 

#OkState center Parsa Fallah was asked postgame if he’d ever been to Lubbock.

His response: “What’s Lubbock?”

Non-OSU Bullets

• Most annoying Christmas songs (per Americans) • Enjoyed this read on communication – loved the focus on talking about beliefs, experiences, and values • God wants your resolve (faith-based)
