Daily Bullets (Mar. 28): Pundits and Their Optimism Around OSU Football

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

Three Thoughts

Softball: Cowgirls 2, Utah 1

Baseball: Cowboys 12, BYU 5

Three Thoughts

• Loved a CBS Sports writer calling for there to be a “miniature Indiana” situation in Stillwater and picking the Pokes to win eight games (CBS Sports)

• A little Cowgirl Basketball in-and-out – Stailee Heard is staying put, others are leaving, including Brock Huard’s daughter (PFB)

• Not to be outdone by peers at CBS Sports, ESPN analyst ranked OSU under Eric Morris as the most likely school to improve under a new head coach: 

Again, I won’t be applying an Eric Morris Bump to the numbers even though he ranks 14th on the list (ranking college football’s best coaches of the 2020s). But Oklahoma State underachieved against its historic baseline to an almost unfathomable degree last year, and any coaching change was likely to bring with it a solid boost. [ESPN]

Two Quotes

One Question

• Boys from Oklahoma series has been a hit – if you could have any (non-Garth) musician perform at OSU for a benefit, who else would you pick? 

2 weeks. Boone Pickens Stadium. The Boys are back in Stillwater.
