OSU Bullets

• Bummer here – Cowboy receiver that transferred from Iowa has been charged with underage gambling on Iowa games (PFB)

And in case you’re wondering what the penalty for this is…

NCAA rules state that an athlete who places bets on his or her team in any sport faces permanent loss of eligibility. https://t.co/Eyj7SREkNI

• OSU announced in-stadium upgrades for the upcoming season, nothing major (OKState.com)

• Mike Gundy is rallying for standardization of the conference schedule:

So, to help eliminate some of this confusion and murkiness, just have every “Power Four” conference play the same amount of conference games.  

This will also put more fans in seats, because who doesn’t love conference matchups? And it will make more TV money for the same reason.

• Former Cowboy defensive coordinator Derek Mason is headed to the SEC Network to call games (HCS)

• Facts.

The statistics don’t lie.

Non-OSU Bullets

• Airlines you’re most likely to be bumped by
• Be gentle to all (faith-based)

“You’re more likely to unlock a big leap in performance by trying differently than by trying harder. You might be able to work 10% harder, but a different approach might work 10x better. Remain focused on the core problem, but explore a new line of attack. Persistence is not just about effort, but also strategy. Don’t merely try harder, try differently.”
