Three Thoughts

• Through ten holes in his second round, Viktor Hovland is plus-one for the day and tied for fourth at the Masters (PGA)

• OSU playing Tulsa in a hypothetical spring scrimmage against Tulsa feels risky – really need an FCS opponent (HCS)

• Berry T. had a hot take on players transferring between Bedlam schools:

The move is bold only on the social-media front. Players don’t care. The Sooners don’t care that Ford wore orange and black not so long ago. Cowboys wouldn’t care if a Sooner transferred to Stillwater.

Two Quotes

• Avery getting some attention in the portal:

Oklahoma State transfer Avery Anderson tells me that he's receiving interest from the following programs:

TCU
Clemson
Texas Tech
Creighton
UCF
Baylor
Mississippi State

• Mike Gundy as the No. 19 college football coach in the country makes sense:

In 18 years as Oklahoma State’s head coach, the only losing season Gundy has had was his first one. He’s won at least 10 games in seven of his last 13 seasons and finished top 10 twice in that span. Before he took over in 2005, the Cowboys only finished that high twice, in 1984 and 1945.

One Question

• What piece does OSU really need to add through this incoming basketball class? A 6’7″ wing isn’t a bad place to start but I’d guess a scoring and creating machine is number one.

This is a solid take on value:

“Money plays an important role in life, but it can’t be the only filter for how you decide to spend your time. Nobody will ever pay you to go on a date with your spouse or take your kids to the park or grab coffee with your parents.”
