Three Thoughts

• Pokes are headed to Cincinnati for a late lunchtime game for their first game post-Fallah, Cowgirls host Kansas for senior night – what’s your feel on having Cinci in the conference? They feel like the TCU of Ohio to me (PFB) 

• This wrestling team seems to have gone from uncertainty to being formed into a true second-place contender (O’Colly) 

• We’re a few years away from being able to appreciate it after the breakup, but this quote from Drew Mestemaker feels like a testimony to what Mike Gundy established at OSU:

“I’ve known this school has been a winning program since I started watching college football, and you can feel that even when you step in this building, still,” Mestemaker told reporters earlier this month. “I knew about their past two seasons and their struggles, but you can tell as soon as you walk in this building like, that’s not what this place is… (T)his building is special, and you win when you’re here.” [GoPokes 247]

Two Quotes

• Looks like that loss at Arirzona State will end up being a little more important than we thought – directly impacting OSU’s tournament seeding. 

12. Arizona State (14-14, 5-10)

13. Oklahoma State (17-11, 5-10)

Hey, remember that time Arizona State beat Oklahoma State? Relevant. [HCS]

• It really feels like this is a guy who knows how to get the talent there plus do real stuff with it – help get the best out of the guys.
