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

OSU Bullets

• Let’s start with Marshall’s Five Thoughts on the Pokes’ loss. [PFB]

• Bill Haisten on Drew Mestemaker’s impact on OSU. [Tulsa World]

• Another metric that should make Cowboy fans excited about Eric Morris’ first season. [PFB]

• Meanwhile, the Cowgirls are looking to extend their win streak. [PFB]

• Good reminder of what that day was about.

#OkState’s newcomers were introduced to the athletics department’s history and traditions during Rookie Night in August.

Mike Noteware shared about a difficult night in January 2001. It’s already been 25 years.

Non-OSU Bullets

• My old millennial self is still adjusting to college sports. Bill Self might be better at it. (But he’s paid more to.)

Bill Self asked if he was excited more than normal for this win: “I told our players, hell, you’re going to be here one year, you leave here and nobody talks about it, at least in your world. I gotta live here.” #kubball pic.twitter.com/IRA4OnoeZz
