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

• GoPokes 247 did a great job summarizing yesterday’s media day for Cowboy Football – here’s the video if you want to watch it (GoPokes 247 + YouTube)

•  Conversation with tight end Oscar Hammond, who left North Texas for a year and reunites with Eric Morris (PFB)

• Probably one of the more intriguing players on the roster – OU transfer and offensive tackle Jacob Sexton talked about the fresh start at Oklahoma State after losing last season to injury (PFB)

• Drew Mestemaker will be a problem for Big 12 teams (HCS)

• The misfits in Stillwater – I’m here for creating a chip on our shoulder:

Non-OSU Bullets

• How to have a great family movie night • Wrestling with “your will be done” (faith-based)

“Clarity isn’t about knowing what you want to do with your life, it’s about knowing what you want to do this week. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to know your next step.” James Clear

If you ever wondered where “wall street” came from: 

In the 1640’s the Dutch inhabitants of New Amsterdam built a 12 foot wall to keep the
“bad people” out. In 1664 the British ignored the wall and took New Amsterdam by sea. It’s now called New York. They took down the wall and built a street, which is now called Wall Street. pic.twitter.com/mLrH7SUhQH
