OSU Bullets

• Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark is on a western media tour and telling folks the league is done with expansion “for now” – with that being said, be on the lookout for some fun Big 12 news today. Think something like a musical guest for the conference title game (HCS + Twitter)

• Is it possible that the game of musical chairs OSU has played on the offensive line will lead to a better outcome this year? (PFB)

• CBS listed the Pokes winning over 6.5 games as one of the best bets in college football:

In Big 12 play, the Pokes enjoy five home games, miss Texas and get to play all four incoming members.

While it’s surprising the Cowboys seem all-in on former Texas Tech starter and Michigan benchwarmer Alan Bowman at quarterback, 19th-year coach Mike Gundy generally produces high-performers at the position.

Gundy hasn’t had a losing season since his first year on the job, and it’s highly improbable that changes in 2023 with such an advantageous schedule.

• HCS has the Pokes in the Liberty Bowl and has a hot take that OSU will finish in the top five of the league (HCS)

• What a beautiful scene:

Non-OSU Bullets

• Deuce Vaughn has a real shot to play in Dallas
• How to build/break a habit (faith-based)

As a dad of young kids – love this concept:

Working Dads, especially with young kids, too many of us are in isolation. Never seeing buddies. Moved around for work; tending to our families. It gets lonely. Most weeks, I’ll find a night to grab nachos and a drink after 8 pm (family asleep) with a buddy. Game changer. Do it! pic.twitter.com/WQCg9NsMKP
