Daily Bullets (Jan. 19): Pokes Add Two More Power-Four Transfers, Four Cowboys Claim Titles at Cyclone Open

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

OSU Bullets

• Cowboy freshman Jax Forrest and three others won titles at the Cyclone open – Forrest absolutely cruised to the final, taking out a 27-year-old former U23 world champion in the process (PFB)

• The Cowgirls skunked a top-25 Iowa State squad at home yesterday, 86-58 (PFB)

• Pokes added two Power Four transfers yesterday on the defensive side of the ball – a Washington defensive lineman and a defensive back from Mizzou. This tidbit on the defensive lineman was helpful context from the Washington side:

 …and (Dominic) Macon were a bit surprising because they had only been on campus for less than a year and the coaches reportedly loved what Smith brought to the table while Macon probably needed another year or two before he would be a factor.  (247 Sports)

• ICYMI – what a fun moment at Gallagher-Iba on Saturday night when the Pokes eeked out a win over K-State (PFB)

• Wrestling note from Seth Duckworth here – OSU is surging up the board, but Penn State is still in a league of its own.
Penn State beating Iowa (that beat OSU 21-16 last year) 32-3 tells you what you need to know.

What OSU is doing is a lot of fun, but there is such a huge gap between Penn State and everyone else, right now. https://t.co/C3cv1RQZ19

Non-OSU Bullets

• Amazon wants to change how viewers watch the NFL

• Really solid take in “don’t overthink your problems” (faith-based)

In other news:

Oklahoma is off to a 1-4 start in SEC play for a second consecutive season after giving up an 11-point second-half lead vs. Alabama today. That’s tied for the second-worst start to league play for OU since 1955-56, when it opened Big 7 play 0-10.
