• The Pac-12 will reportedly announce if they’re going to expand (or not) this week

• Coach Mike Boynton’s not worried about OSU Basketball’s position in realignment

• The No. 2 recruit in the 2023 basketball class was in Stillwater yesterday ? (Here’s the rankings)

• I have no idea what source this is or the logic behind it but Pistol Pete was named the worst mascot in America (among other bad lists) – no idea what the world is coming to or where peoples’ sense has gone

Consuming information is not the same as acquiring knowledge. No idea could be further from the truth. Learning means being able to use new information. The basic process of learning consists of reflection and feedback. We learn facts and concepts through reflecting on experience—our own or others’. If you read something and you don’t make time to think about what you’ve read, you won’t be able to use any of the wisdom you’ve been exposed to.
